Man, I don't get it. I mean sure, you could make some argument about Pokemon being properly sentient or understanding or whatever and whether or not it'd be wrong to kill them, but hunting's just what you do to survive.

I'll grant that going further than that is stupid and probably cruel, and I'll also admit you can get by without actively hunting in a place this modern. But now I'm wondering how people in this place's past got by after they quit hunting them.
