In | In [[Pokémon Snap]], one of the few [[item]]s provided is Pokémon Food. This is an unlimited supply of apples which [[Todd Snap]] can throw to the [[wild Pokémon]]. Many Pokémon will happily eat the food, and it can be used to lure them to a new spot since they may walk to where the food was thrown. A well-aimed throw may also hit the Pokémon with the apple, causing them to {{DL|Status ailment|flinch}}, [[faint]], or become upset. | ||
[[Professor Oak]] will provide Todd with Pokémon Food upon obtaining a total score of 14,000 points in the {{OBP|Pokémon Report|Pokémon Snap}}. | [[Professor Oak]] will provide Todd with Pokémon Food upon obtaining a total score of 14,000 points in the {{OBP|Pokémon Report|Pokémon Snap}}. | ||

Several | Pokémon food has appeared in the anime as early as ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'' as a sort of kibble. Several [[Pokémon Trainer]]s will make their own, especially [[Pokémon Breeder]]s like [[Brock]]. The flavor is not always agreeable with humans, as shown by the fact that [[Seymour]] was able to eat it without any problem, but {{Ash}} tried some and reacted badly. Good Pokémon food tastes great to Pokémon, however. | ||
Brock often offers Pokémon food to try and gain a Pokémon's trust, such as a baby {{p|Stantler}} in ''[[EP125|Little Big Horn]]'', and a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip|Marshtomp}} in ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'' which he caught after befriending. Most Pokémon are extremely fond of his food, with the exception of a {{p|Jigglypuff}} in ''[[AG138|Rough, Tough Jigglypuff]]'' which outright refused it. | Brock often offers Pokémon food to try and gain a Pokémon's trust, such as a baby {{p|Stantler}} in ''[[EP125|Little Big Horn]]'', and a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip|Marshtomp}} in ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'' which he caught after befriending.

In the original Pokémon games and concept, it seems that most Pokémon were more animal-like. As such, wild Pokémon were originally portrayed as eating one another by some sources, in a very animal-like prey-predator system; for example, on [[The Official Pokémon Handbook]]'s entry for {{p|Pidgeot}}, it is said that "''When they hunt, Pidgeot fly on the surface of the water at top speed to catch unsuspecting Fish element prey like {{p|Magikarp}}.''" The Handbook also lists {{p|Golbat}} as drinking the blood of its enemies, not just the 'energy' it uses when referring to {{m|Leech Life}} in {{p|Zubat}}'s entry. | In the original Pokémon games and concept, it seems that most Pokémon were more animal-like.

However, this theme does not seem to have been explored in the anime or the games; it seems the closest thing is found in attacks that steal an opponent's HP. This may be because of moral issues; as the anime and games progress, Pokémon seem to be growing more human, with personalities, etc., and so such behavior might be too close to cannibalism. However, some Pokédex entries still refer to Pokémon preying on each other, or at least sucking life force, as with {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gengar}}, who in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, together with Gastly, lick the partner Pokémon until they vanish.
