>>59038230The Leftovers sprite resembles an apple stalk, but given how all item sprites were usually copied over to the next games without change, who knows if it's also another detail GF forgot to correct.
For example, Poké Ball sprites (and every variant that's just a Poké Ball with some extras) show an orange upper hemisphere, even though other sprites or models in the same game show them red. They only fixed this once they switched from sprites to icons in Gen9.>>59038262>I don't have a problem with real plants existing alongside fictional ones.I wouldn't mind real fruits either, it's just how GF suddenly introduces these out of nowhere just for a one-time gimmick. When the previous games never mentions any of this and make you believe the set lore.
>the meat products are made of Pokemon, but the game certainly does not put a lot of focus on that.Meat is just another rabbithole.
> I know Game Freak knows people like in-depth fantasy lorebuilding like the berrydex, but for whatever reason they don't give as much of a shit anymore. Either because the scope of the games escaped their capacity for working on them ages ago, or because they genuinely do not have anyone anymore who could put in that sort of work, be it because of lack of interest or loss of ability.Could be also the lack of time to properly polish the game. Corporate greed be blamed.
>>59038315Keep in mind that the anime is rather lax when it comes to keeping minor plot points and details coherent. Bananas could have been used not because real fruits are canon, but the animators simply needed something for Snorlax to devour.
By the way, there are also a few anime-exlusive berries, such as the Pinkan, Melody and Rinka Berry.
