nintendo and gamefreak treat your pokemon consistently challenge

like either they are sapient beings similar to humans to the point they can have conversations and be considered the same or they are hunter and farmed animals with powers making them both has weird implications

#like bdsp implies that the diamond and pearl clans hunted and ate pokemon which would be fine #except theyre also explicitly considered adopted family members in a literal sense with numbering off adamans siblings and everything #which would mean that they should get the same consideration and funerary rites as humans since they are family???#which would imply that all other pokemon would be the same level of being considered a person even if theyre nonfamily #NOT food (at least not usually there have been some cultures with funerary rites that involve eating the corpse but again thats not hunting #)#(or farming which is its own bundle of horrific implications)#maybe im thinking too hard about the funny mon game but its gotten to the point that the inconsistency is getting on my nerves #just let animals exist i promise nintendo it will not hurt and they already existed in the first place even if you try to erase them #weve all seen meowth eating a fish and the world didnt implode then its fine #you cant just take things from the cultures your trying to represent slap pokemon in the middle of them and call it a day #putting some thought into the implications gos a long way
