If Team Rocket were the bad guys for wanting to eat slowpoke tails in gen 2, then how come it’s perfectly acceptable to not only eat slowpoke tails in gen 8, but even feed them to slowpokes themselves?

Becaus Galar is a shithole full tor of retards who only care about CHARIZARD.

Because Pokemon wants us to know that British people are immoral heartless beasts and a scourge to humanity

TR wasn't trying to eat then, they were cutting them off and selling them at inflated prices. I'm pretty sure theres a line in a more recent game that says that the slowpoke tails normally used in cooking fall off naturally, although I may be misremembering.

That said, isn't TPC super uptight about pokemon being depicted as food? It's weird they're still giving the okay on slowpoke tails.

Moon entry outright says they're used in meals. Previous ones just said it had good flavor.
Its probably allowed because the tails grow back so you aren't killing it.

they also never explain what the sausages you get are made of. probably tofu though, although that doesn't explain the bones that you can also get as curry ingredients

Time has changed

I mean, bones are a gray area thanks to pokemon like Cubone and what not, plus you dig up fossils in a number of games (although those are probably a wee bit older than the ones you'd cook with).

Slowpoke tails fall of naturally in the wild. Team Rocket cut them of for profit potentially harming the slowpokes.
Only buy organically farmed slowpoke tails, say no to pokemon cruelty

It's ok to eat Slowpoke tails in Galar because they're not Charizard tails.

Don't humans cook Krabby in this game too?
Pokemon prey on each other, so there's nothing wrong with humans killing and eating them. That's what they deserve for killing and eating their own brethren.

>slowpokes grow their tails back ackchually so it's fine if they get cut off
way to take the urgency away from the situation, gamefreak

The pokedex says Slowpoke doesn't even notice when its tail falls off.
Also that thing about not depicting pokémon as food is just for licensees. It doesn't apply to Gamefreak.

Ahem

Idk as an adult i assume team rocket where just haphazardly cutting the tails off slowpokes and not caring if they bleed to death. Theres probably slowpoke farms where the slowpokes have their tails lopped off proffesionally or they fall off and are taken care of. Even if team rocket where bring careful with cutting their tails off and it really wouldnt harm them in any meaningful way, you still dont want a bunch of shady thugs ripping the tails off of your local wildlife and making them look ugly

Its still a shitty thing to do

what happens if i put a slowpoke tail in a slow cooker?

A lot of lizards can voluntarily amputate their own tails as a defense mechanism and reptile keepers consider this a bad thing because it means they have to be extra-careful not to overstress the lizard or it will drop the tail without warning.
The tails grow back, but the new ones are never quite as good as the originals because they have cartilage instead of bone.
So just because an animal CAN drop its tail without being permanently crippled doesn't mean it's desirable.

Retarded city slicker probably thinks hunters can go shoot and kill all the deer they could ever want purely because it's legal.

poor slowpoke only exists for tail abuse

No, it's really not. This is the same reason fish are considered vegetarian, if they don't even have pain receptors there is literally no problem, no sin has occurred.

It could always be worse.

Pokemon are food

Okay this is pretty fucked up, but I also didn't know their blood looked like Gatorade. I knew it was blue, but I wasn't prepared for it to resemble a sports drink.

>fish are considered vegetarian
what?
