 Pokemon arent carnivores in this RP and any resources from animals will come from the actual animals. You get milk from a cow, not a Miltank. Pokemon dont replace animals, they just exist as well. [@Ganelon]

This is an answer that spawns some more questions from me. For example, if there are animals and pokemon, what's the distinction between the two? How do pokemon exist if they can't be handwaved away by saying 'different evolutionary path'. Is it ok to eat normal animals and not ok to eat pokemon? why would this be? a lot of pokemon are just animals with implicitly supernatural powers.

What don't you like about the show? That they don't have a specific set number of moves?

1. It keeps running the same plotlines, inexplicably resetting everything ash achieves in the previous region (including his pokemon knowledge, what, does he ritually beat himself into amnesia before moving into a new region?). This makes anything that happens in the show meaningless because you know it'll all be reset when the next generation rolls around. The mangas were much better about this, electing to have a new protagonist every generation, sometimes returning the protagonists of earlier generations to show how they've grown in the meantime.

2. It's just so sickeningly light-hearted any conflict is rendered rather meaningless. This was less of an issue in the beginning of the show, but the later seasons just have such light tones that any conflict that goes on and isn't a gym battle feels rather forced and contrived. The manga, thought still somewhat light hearted, had this mildly treathening undertone to it that granted meaning to conflicts that happened between the character.

so basically, go manga! scew the anime.

on a sidenote, the pokemon in the manga jsut make normal animal sounds... And I think the original japanese dub had that as well. the english dub just has pokemon speak their names due to translators at the times thinking children were slack-faced morons that wouln't be able to remember which pokemon is which otherwise. this entire paragraph is IIRC.
