ham confirmed in pokemon if they don

if they don’t explain it by having some sort of ham-gathering mechanic or pokedex entry then it’s confirmed that people farm, kill, and eat pokemon for real and gene just didn’t realize that was still a thing

edit: gene would see a fillet for the first time and have flashbacks, like he knows pokemon eat each other and obviously people and pokemon have a common ancestor and people used to eat more pokemon but he lost his fish to the hoenn e4 and that was one of the first friends he ever had

#oceandi speaks #sv spoilers #the thing is. I kind of assumed that people didn't like. eat pokemon straight-up mostly #basculin's dex entry even says it USED to be a common food source and that it APPARENTLY tasted light/flaky #so I assumed that it just wasn't a thing and that the sausage in swsh was like. mushroom based or something #but if it's true that people STILL eat pokemon and this game confirms it then the only thing we can point to is gene beign an unreliable #an unreliable viewpoint character #(he relies on team skull for general pop culture knowledge and for the sake of argument let's say that the mushroom-based meat substitute #economy is booming so it's cheaper to go for plants than real meat. so gene wouldn;t know)#I'll see what the game has to say but if it's confirmed then #I'm just like sdkjhfkjsdhfk I'm not a vegetarian /I/ eat meat but pokemon are so cartoony #you know what they say when you assume
