I consider Pok'emon to be fictional, even in the Pok'emon World, being living, collectable figurines. Kinda like Pok'emon Rumble, sans the chibi.
This is why it is not animal abuse and why Pok'emon meat doesn't exist. They don't die because they can't. It also adds logic to the presense of real life animals. All the Pok'edex entries, like in real life, are but tags of flavor text to make the aquisition more interesting.
As if a mouse can actually conduct electricity and kittens can mate with blue whales. Ha.
That's my theory.
