I feel like I would be a Prof in the Pokémon universe. Just interested in studying, experiments, generally dilletante shit and fieldwork.

No desire for fame or publishing if I can get around it or get someone else to take credit for it as long as I get a little scratch

Edit: try and keep things nice at 69%, lol

There are actually non-pokemon animals in Pokemon, both the games and in the anime.See this Bulbapedia article. Although Takeshi Shudō has claimed that animals have gone extinct by the time the anime takes place. Also it seems humans do eat some Pokemon.

Thank you so much for this! I love the granularity of people's knowledge here and this was a super provocative notion for me that I failed to interrogate further absent your piping up :)

Thanks again
