>>45909484Pic related is Leech life in Pokemon Stadium and it shows the Pokemon absorbing actual blood. They changed the color of the blood to be more orange/pink in Stadium 2 though.
Also the german name of leech life is Blutsauger which literally means blood suck/drain, same in japanese I think. So blood is sometimes at least referred to as blood and not as "bodily juices" or whatever euphemism the pokedex likes to use.
