>>45559713Classic Pokemon has ties to the real world (mentions of real world locations, real animals existing alongside Pokemon, etc.) while nu-Pokemon is soulless and wants to be as ambiguous as possible, with no mentions of real world locations and no real animals, which then begs the question, what are people eating? It's a no no to imply death in nu-Pokemon as well, and it's especially a no no to imply people are eating the Pokemon, so this just makes it seem like everybody's a vegan in nu-Pokemon, excluding things like eggs and milk.
It can't be defended.
