Are you a Gym Leader, Trainer, Pokemon Champion, Professor, or Team Rocket Grunt or Mom/Dad? (lemmy.world)

I feel like I would be a Prof in the Pokémon universe. Just interested in studying, experiments, generally dilletante shit and fieldwork.

No desire for fame or publishing if I can get around it or get someone else to take credit for it as long as I get a little scratch

Edit: try and keep things nice at 69%, lol

There's no animals in Pokemon but you always see them eating meat in the cartoon. I would go on a quest to eat all the Pokemon. At least the original 151.

Gotta eat 'em all.

I'm racking my brain trying to figure out what I would be, but this is probably it. Food is probably the biggest part of my personality.

You'd be, like, one of those sailors feasting on harty fare in Olivine or whatevr came before it

There are actually non-pokemon animals in Pokemon, both the games and in the anime.See this Bulbapedia article. Although Takeshi Shudō has claimed that animals have gone extinct by the time the anime takes place. Also it seems humans do eat some Pokemon.

Thank you so much for this! I love the granularity of people's knowledge here and this was a super provocative notion for me that I failed to interrogate further absent your piping up :)

Thanks again

It does have a weird relationship with Magicarps, altho I appreciate they obfuscate this fact for the time. Same with Milkow
