That being said, I also think GF has no interest in following these rules that TPCi created. All things considered. One of the other known rules is that people and Pokemon don't eat meat either in that universe and that it's all berries or simulated meat made of berries. But as soon as those rules were solid GF started doing the games where you make curry and sandwiches out of Pokemon meat.
