Are you this mad at pokemon too? They obscure all of this, but the premise is the same..

This brings up a weird idea. Are there like regular animals in Pokémon, or is everything non human a Pokémon? Like I feel like they have eaten meat or things that would presumably have meat in it a number of times, are those all Pokémon?

Oh the premise is the same but the difference is I can't go stab my Pikachu, cut it up, then turn it into soup because I got bored. Pokemon still has kid gloves on it to where nobody dies, injuries are superficial, and everything gets better with a visit to a special building. Palworld shatters that and goes "Hey, fellow psychopaths, you can now enslave and butcher all those friendly creatures you grew up with!" like all of us were just fucking drooling at the chance to murder cute animals. Clearly I'm the weird one because I never grew up thinking the Pokemon should be killable.
