this glorious monument

I had a Dedenne on one of my recent playthroughs of Y.
Its attack somehow wound up higher than its special attack. Making Play Rough a perfectly acceptable STAB.
Also: That may have been the worst team I ever constructed. Every fighting type was a waking nightmare.
(Pangoro, Dedenne, Linoone, Amaura, Pyroar and eventually Noivern for the curious)

All that was said was that new information would be revealed today, and it technically was. It's just that because Corocoro always gets leaked a few days early, we knew the new information before the official time.

Actual animals and stuff have been mentioned and even shown a few times, though mostly early on. They are still implied though. Bulbapedia even got a page on it: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Animals_in_the_Pok%C3%A9mon_world

So were Clefairy and Beeheyam weren't they? There's a few faux aliens in the series that are still considered the overarching animal/plant/fungi/whatever kingdoms to make up "Pokemon."

In Pokémon X and Y, fresh-caught fish is served at the restaurants in Lumiose City.
They serve Basculin. From the Dex:
Red- and blue-striped Basculin are very violent and always fighting. They are also remarkably tasty.

... people aren't vegetarians though? Slowpoke tails are a delicacy you eat in X/Y and part of Team Rocket's plan in G/S/C.

Also you eat Sushi, grilled fish and some kind of bone marrow soup in X/Y.

It is said that any Pokémon that sees UB-02 Beauty, regardless of its own gender, will become infatuated with it and lose the will to battle.

UB 02 Beauty is powerful

also that totally sounds like an Ability (opponent pokemon are infatuated regardless of gender) so i'm chalking that up as another point in favor of these being capturable

Having abilities just means they're combattable, not necessarily capturable.

Maybe you'll be able to summon the UBs like how the big kahuna Pokémon (or whatever they're called... Gumshoos, Fat Mac Raticate, et al.) can summon helpers. There's no way they'll let you capture humans. Unless they bring in some kind of XD-esque "purification" mechanic where you can turn them into actual Pokémon.
