Now, the people in that world, they are either ALL vegetarians... or they do slaughter some Pikachus or Jigglypufs or Bulbasaurs every now and then and eat those! And that's so cruel, because those are conscious beings, like regular people!

What about the Rattatas and Pidgeys? They were as common as muck...I'm sure no-one cared about eating those...
And need I remind you that we keep birds, dogs, and rabbits as pets, and people eat those in all parts of the world...horses for courses, I say! Preferably 4!
