Marcille could turn them into statues and report them to the authorities. You know she knows how to.

I'm not sure about that. As far as I can tell, Marcille's magic falls into three categories:

1) support magic (healing, revival, protection, etc.)
2) explosions
3) poo poo that should not, under any circumstances, be cast, is illegal and dangerous and may destroy the fabric of reality and warp humans into abominations

She's specialized in the third, of course.

Marcille's perceived inner self is a swan, lithe and graceful, every movement choreographed and beautiful. But she's actually a pootoo.

what did the japanese version do about boomhauer? the spanish dub just, like... gave him a normal voice. it always seemed so odd to me that there were these three weirdos and one normal-looking, normal-sounding dude who didn't have a "bit". it took me ages to find out he was supposed to be unintelligible

also i would like to know which western cartoon (or live action) characters are given Kansai-ben dialects in the japanese dub

E: I love world-building like in Dungeon Meshi or Lost in Abyss where there's a big sense of mystery and exploration in forbidden and unknown places. Are there any works of manga/ anime that explore similar concepts?

Ancient reply but I'm catching up on this thread after catching up on the anime (it's really good!) and I noticed nobody replied to this. You might like BLAME! or Nihei's other works, though be aware that foreboding environmental storytelling is the majority of what they do and any plot is more abstract/confusing.

Blame has incredibly detailed backgrounds that definitely tell a story. I find Biomega to be more readable though, or Knights of Sidonia.

I mean, a lot of lore in Pokemon was apparently written by Laios, considering it's about how Pokemon taste.

They talk about eating Pokemon in the games but I'm not sure if they do in the cartoon since everybody in the cartoon is apparently vegetarian, including the Pokemon.

In Gold/Silver, Team Rocket is running a whole operation based around cutting off the tails of Slowpokes to sell them as a delicacy.
And as I just found out when double-checking this, there's a very weird sleep-tracker app spin-off called Pokémon Sleep where you can cook Slowpoke Tail Pepper Salad, Grilled Tail Curry and other fancy meals for your Snorlax.

In X/Y, you go to restaurants where they serve you fancy meals made of pokemon.

The games have never been shy about it, these are animals, they eat each other and humans eat them.

On the other hand, there was one game that had a book that said something about humans marrying Pokemon in the past.

That brings up a number of questions and concerns, especially paired with edible Pokemon.

Maybe it’s like monsters and you can’t eat the humanoid ones. Which then raises even more questions about what happens with a Pokemon that starts out non-humanoid, but has a humanoid evolution later.
