>they're finally conceding that humanoids should be sitting at the table
>but they're STILL eating fucking kibble from a pet bowl
I fucking hate the anime, is it really that much of a sin that they can't depict these fucking things eating berries, Poke Puffs, Poke Beans, Poffins, Poke Blocks or ANY of the countless other treats meant specifically for Pokemon that would look far more fitting? I'm not even going to bother bringing up sandwiches or curry because I know those go against the "no meat" rule, but every single one of those other things I named off should be more than squeaky clean for a toddler show.
Fucking idiotic to have this scene specifically with Hatterene even, at least there'd be copium with only Meowscarada, but no, feed the fucking humanoid goblin witch dog food. The goblin witch who strangles people who so much as feel an emotion just a hair too strongly. Ridiculous.
>>
>>58652797
She's been in the cuck chair of her own Show ever since Shiny Lucario showed up KEK
>>
>>58652797
This looks jarring as fuck.
>>
>>58652797
Meowscarada is so disgusting looking in the anime, having it sit at the table and shit looks uncanny af, hell Lucario and Cinderace from the last season never sat at the table like a human
>>
>>58652907
They could at least let them eat their gorilla munch with a spoon or something
>>
AAAAAAAAAAAAY WHY ARE THEY EATING ON THE TABLE LIKE HUMAN BEINGS THE HUMANOID SENTIENT BEING NEEDS TO BE EATING ON THE FLOOR NOW NOW NOW NOW
>>
>>58652797
literal woman in a fursuit, fucking disgusting
>>
>>58652907
>or ANY of the countless other treats meant specifically for Pokemon
Key word there is "treats". All those are meant as special rewards, not standard food. And they do eat berries all the time, they just also have generic Pokemon kibble too.
>>
>>58653087
My point still stands, the kibble is fucking retarded for a literal humanoid cat sitting at a table and a humanoid goblin witch.
Save that shit for Stoutland and Pyroar if you're going to insist on still using it, it's utterly disgraceful to these fantastical creatures that they have to eat like domesticated animals despite the fact the franchise constantly iterates that Pokemon are allies, allies who can only function together as a cooperating team, and only some humans view them as pets (and typically in the appropriate context like "my pet Growlithe", no one in the franchise says "my pet Machamp" for example).
>>
>>58653103
Consider that they actually show the Pokemon eating more often than the humans, and when the humans go out to get food they often share it with their Pokemon too. When they stopped to make sandwiches the Pokemon also got sandwiches.
>>
>>58653109
So there's literally no point to the kibble, then, if the Pokemon are allowed to eat sandwiches in the anime. Fucking idiots.
>>
>>58653111
They don't always HAVE sandwiches to eat.
>>
>>58653112
Then they EAT THE FUCKING BERRIES INSTEAD.
>>
>>58653116
They do.
>>
>>58652797
They’re trying so hard to make Meowscarada unattractive
>>
Humans should eat the kibble too, like Shaggy eating Scooby snacks
>>
>>58653121
So the kibble isn't necessary? Thanks for proving my point.
>>
>>58653129
They don't always have berries.
>>
>>58653146
Then they're failures of trainers if they can't stock something that's available in grand abundance quite literally everywhere.
>>
>>58653152
That's what the kibble is for.
>>
>>58653154
And the kibble doesn't need to exist because berries already exist, which grow literally everywhere, can be purchased from all sorts of local vendors, and are more generous to Pokemon as a foodstuff because they're just as fantastical as the Pokemon themselves (there's no such thing as an IRL berry that supercharges your ability to breathe fire).
The kibble is literally just fucking slop for domesticated animals. No special attributes, no flattering appearance, just the same shit brown you're used to seeing your pet dog or cat scarf down.
>>
>>58653161
They don't always have berries.
>>
>>58653168
They don't always have kibble, so it's not this omni-present reliable resource that trumps even berries that you're making it out to be, else they'd ONLY use kibble and nothing else.
>>
>>58653171
They often mix berries into the kibble.
>>
>>58653178
Then that's insulting to the berries too, because it devalues their fantastical nature, just the same as the Pokemon.
>>
>>58653179
You're way too late to be complaining about that.
>>
>>58653189
But it's never too late to stop showing unfitting mons eating domesticated slop kibble.
>>
>>58653192
The mons are domesticated, so why can't they eat domesticated food?
>>
>>58653194
Domestication implies they're inferiors. Only some Pokemon have pet qualities, but all Pokemon are partners.
Partners shouldn't have to eat shit-colored slop out of a dog bowl, especially not this half-assing of "okay, fine, I GUESS you deserve to sit at the table with me, but you're still eating like our dumbass Lillipup."
>>
>>58653196
>Domestication implies they're inferiors.
No it doesn't.
>>
>>58653201
>Domestication is a multi-generational mutualistic relationship in which an animal species, such as humans or leafcutter ants, takes over control and care of another species, such as sheep or fungi, to obtain from them a steady supply of resources, such as meat, milk, or labor.
Humans asserting superiority over a species in order to get what they want out of them. That isn't a partnership, that's a superior controlling an inferior.
>>
>>58653205
You just described every Pokemon caught in a Poke Ball.
>>
>>58653206
Pokemon willingly choose to stay with humans.
They can exit the Poke Ball anytime they want, as has been depicted many times when a Pokemon just suddenly sends itself out without its trainer's prompting. It's just that we almost never see a Pokemon release itself and abandon its trainer entirely because the franchise is too chickenshit to show a trainer abusive enough to warrant the Pokemon bailing, and would much rather take the cope route of giving the Pokemon a case of Stockholm Syndrome so that it becomes a bad individual, just like the trainer.
>>
>>58653209
Ash's Charizard refused orders but couldn't refuse being sent out into battle. Ash got around this several times by getting Charizard hit by attacks, so it would get angry and start fighting.
>>
>>58653214
Because Charizard, after the Blaine fight, expected Ash got the memo to only send it out against opponents it deemed worthy of its time.
Instead Ash made an idiot of himself by sending out a Pokemon he hadn't earned the full trust of, and since this was the Pokemon League, Charizard recognized it could humiliate Ash in the most brutal way possible by exposing his inexperience to the entire Kanto region (originally the world at large) through slacking off, and was fully intent on tanking and slacking because it knew the ref would call bullshit and tell this retard to get the fuck out of the arena.
>>
>>58652907
it's a cat, cats eat kibble
>>
>>58653251
A humanoid cat, who sits at the table, holds its bowl like a person, and sits next to the human, who is eating proper food.
Just give it a normal bowl full of berries, since you obviously can't show it eating meat without that no-good question of "but where did that meat come from?" since only humans and Pokemon exist, and the anime doesn't want to show Pokemon being treated as foodstuff resources.

>who is eating proper food.
I'm not sure I'd describe this as "proper food".
>>
>>58653271
That's the weird thing. Pokemon eat and drink literally whatever in the games. Very often the same shit the trainers eat. Why does the anime just give them big cartoon dog food?
>>
>>58653275
Because the games are an abstraction where you're not required to feed the hundreds of Pokemon in your PC boxes and party repeatedly, while the anime, being more of a life sim and the Pokemon thus aren't defined by stat screens, often require regular feeding.

It's udon AND ramen, two different noodles in one bowl. And the fried chicken is just going to get soggy in the broth there. Also I think those jellybeans are actually gummy worms.

It's a corporate mandate. When the writers are left to their own devices, they show pokemon eating at the table, because they know the pokemon are sapient. When they show pokemon eating on the floor, eating from a pet bowl, sleeping on a pet bed, it's because they were ordered to do so for the purpose of "brand image" or whatever buzzword. TPC is out of touch and thinks Pokemon are mere beasts.
>>
Meowscarada sucks
>>
>>58653281
That doesn't make sense either though. It's not like kibble is easier to draw than a sandwich or something.
>>
>>58652954
>She's been in the cuck chair of her own Show ever since [Pokemon no one cares about] showed up
>>
>>58655076
Yes it does. Can you imagine how fucking annoying it would be to have to feed your Pokemon (and player character) every hour when the game's clock shifts to night and day? No Pokemon game has required this, and food is always optional and either is used for healing or status recovery, or affords stat bonuses of some kind.
>>
>>58655141
I want talking about the games.
>>
>>58655145
Well I am.
>>
>>58655150
Autocorrect fucked me. I was trying to say "wasn't", sorry.

All this to say that I think it's just the animators not really caring that much since it's a non-seasonal show that has to get churned out constantly.
>>
imagine the threesomes
>>
>>58655228
Who are the other two girls I should imagine alongside Liko?
>>
>>58652954
That was the sign the show was failing, they threw in another Lucario and even made it shiny, Meowscarada just isn't that much of a showrunner mon
>>
>>58655241
Why two more Likos, of course.
>>
>>58655248

I guess it's because they're still just a dinosaur and cat monster, not a fursuit like meowscarda. And yet they're intelligent and sentient enough to be on the level of at least children, so despite being mons letting them eat at the table is just logical. But a humanoid walking fursuit is uncanny when mentally they're still pretty animalistic, comparatively speaking.
