dafuq Animals

[Garamonde]

I'm pretty sure that Pokémon aren't the only creatures allowed to be the only "animals" in their world. There can be normal animals, Pokémon are really just special inhabitants along with the other animals I thought. As far as I know though they took away the normal animals in the later seasons I guess because they either couldn't find a place for them or to spare any confusion as most people presume Pokémon to be the primary "animals" in the Pokémon world. Either way my theory is that normal animals can still exist along with Pokémon, but most of the time Pokémon are preferred as pets over the regular animals and what have you. Just my thought.
