Real-life animals have been seen 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. In addition, the guidebook ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'' confirmed that there were indeed animals in the Pokémon world, and also revealed that Pokémon weren't related to animals at all. | |||

However, animal appearances in the anime have become less frequent as more Pokémon have been added to take their places. | |||

** Also according to Shudou, real animals went extinct in the Pokémon world years ago and no longer exist. Shudou claimed that instances of real-world animals appearing in earlier episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}} were due to the animation staff not paying enough attention. | |||
