Real-life animals have been seen and mentioned in the {{pkmn|anime}}. They were more common in the [[original series]] as there weren't as many species of Pokémon introduced at the time. A picture book based on the anime once featured a {{wp|dog}} walking past {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, and a piece of concept art of the residents of [[Pallet Town]] featured a {{wp|cat}}. Birds can also occasionally be heard in the background. Foods that contain meat products, such as {{wp|hamburgers}} and {{wp|chicken}}, are often seen. <ref>https://www.kinokuniya.co.jp/f/dsg-01-9784091145772 - Shogakukan's TV Picture Book "Pocket Monsters (7) Ghost Pokémon and the Summer Festival"</ref> In addition, the guidebook ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'' confirmed that there were indeed animals in the {{pkmn|world}}, and also revealed that {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} weren't related to animals at all. | Real-life animals have been seen and mentioned in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

Despite Pokémon themselves being unrelated to animals, it appears that behavioral and predator-prey dynamics still apply to Pokémon based on the animals they resemble. {{MTR}} still considers himself a cat and displays cat-like behaviour frequently while in the episode ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', {{TP|Jessie|Jessie's Ekans|Arbok}} was afraid of a real-life mongoose, a predator of snakes and cobras. Pokémon occasionally display traits of other animals, Ash’s {{AP|Charizard}} being seen scratching its neck with its leg like a dog would. | Despite Pokémon themselves being unrelated to animals, it appears that behavioral and predator-prey dynamics still apply to Pokémon based on the animals they resemble. {{MTR}} still considers himself a cat and displays cat-like behaviour frequently while in the episode ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', {{TP|Jessie|Jessie's Ekans|Arbok}} was afraid of a real-life mongoose, a predator of snakes and cobras.
