They’re regular animals. Animals still exist in the Pokemon universe.

Gen 1 stuff was just normal earth with monsters existing. America existed, south America existed, guyana was a country, the moon landing happened normally, ect. Pokemon weren’t animals, just monsters. The big world building stuff happened after.

Animals are the inferior creatures both humans and pokemon eat
Dex entries about pokemon eating each other are just bullshit made up by emo teens who work at the lab to unsettle kids who get a pokedex

Then why do Pokemon eat other Pokemon solely and not random animals? Why has Indian Elephant been retconned to Copperajah in Raichu's Pokedex entry? Why do humans eat Farfetch'd and Slowpoke Tails when they could eat actual animals?
Owen Walker
Actually these are the last remnants of earth fauna. Historically they existed, which is why some monsters are classified as mice and such, and indian elephants being recorded victims. There wouldve been a need to preserve them, but natural selection did away with that
Levi Gonzalez
Because people want to cope and not admit that Pokémon take on the role of the fauna and flora of the Pokémon world rather than being supernatural entities minus few examples. A TPC handbook said the same, they never existed.

Also note the curious language they use "real animals" and also "animals from the real world" rather than just saying animals don't exist and even saying Pokémon serve as a *replacement*. Shudo also used the term "real animals" and the games have referred to Pokémon as "wild creatures" before, almost as if Pokémon are meant to be stand in for something, hmm.
Andrew Carter
Nah, that shit's just early installment weirdness as with a lot of gen 1 anime shit that wouldn't happen again after it got all regimented and formulaic.
Jackson Wilson
Those scenes weren't intentional. The animation team messed up in that department.
Isaac Baker
What do you mean exactly?
Jordan Nguyen
See
Shudo was the head writer of the early anime. That blog links directly to his own blog where he talks about in Japanese. Basically it's unintentional weirdness from miscommunication from the artists. Real animals have never been a thing in Pokémon because that's what Pokémon are in their universe.
