Hmm... I suppose not. Though, I have come across several references to Pokemon eating other Pokemon within the Pokedex, which is disturbing in and of itself if you think about it too much... or assume it's true to begin with in the first place. I've seen plenty of entries that seem highly improbable.

And yes, I agree wholeheartedly. Though, if they've made some sort of extremely close substitute, they've done a quite impressive job of it.
