The World of Pokemon: The Reality

You know, I think I'll admit to something today. I might be a bit of a geek. Okay yeah I know, but I've been thinking about something that really shouldn't have so much thought put into it and that's the World of Pokemon. Now I'm not talking bout a MMORPG starring pikachu and friends(though a Pokemon MMORPG might not be such a bad move on Nintendo's part), I'm talking about the actual world of those little pocket monsters we collect on handheld systems.

The Pokemon replace real animals right? I mean they call Pikachu a mouse pokemon, but aren't he, rattata, raichu, pichu, and raticate just well rats? Pidgey a bird and so forth so forth? So with that being the case, does that mean pokemon are bred for more than just fighting? Do they breed Tauros and Miltank are bred for bison and beef respectively? Do they crack open Exeggcute and make omelette's? And if you're vegan? Well does that mean you eat Bulbasaur or Oddish? Yet they have rice to make onigiri(rice balls)... all very very odd in my opinion. And does that mean there are exterminators for all the bug pokemon, like if there's a beedrill nest in your house, do they come with pidegot and charmander or do you try and take care of them yourself with your pokemon? And is everyone the same race in this world? I've never noticed a not um... whatever they actually are in that world. And what's up with Team Rocket/Magma/Aqua/Galaxy? Are they like the mafia or more the Cobra? And if the latter, or there truly corrupt guys out there selling pokemon on the black market and what not? And how do you fight a war in the world of pokemon? I mean if they're all using torchics and whatnot, who says my side can't come in with MewTwo and wreck house? And if they've got guns, what's stopping Team Rocket from simply running game on people and stealing their pokemon that way, and why steal people's pokemon, why not simply bust into the warehouse where they keep the Master Balls and go catch 'em all?

Eh enough conjecturing for now, I think I'm going to go think about some game ideas... pokemon online...
