>>51213264They literally talk about eating pokemon in multiple dexes.
>Red- and blue-striped Basculin are very violent and always fighting. They are also remarkably tasty>This Pokémon has a jaw that's as sharp as a spear and as strong as steel. Apparently Barraskewda's flesh is surprisingly tasty, too. >(Appletun): Its body is covered in sweet nectar, and the skin on its back is especially yummy. Children used to have it as a snack. >(Sharpedo): It has a sad history. In the past, its dorsal fin was a treasured foodstuff, so this Pokémon became a victim of overfishing. While not mentioned in dex, the entire point of Farfetch'd makes no sense if people didn't eat them. Its kinda bemusing that the "land mons" of choice are kinda a mystery.
Besides the "renewable resources" shit, so yes; its not just muh slowpoke tails and such either.
There's more than slowpokes in that case too.
>(Crawdaunt): Its pincers often fall off. Unlike with Crabrawler or Clauncher, the meat in its claws is utterly nasty and stinking.
