Recently, I was thinking:

"Should I put real life creatures in my fic."

Last time I was writing I hit a snag when it came to the "What's for dinner" style question, since a self-baking Torchic for Sunday Lunch is a bit ridiculous. Also, the idea of things like Houndoom settling for tofu and vegetables just doesn't fit it IMO.

I also thought of ways that it allows a little more detail and sense to Pokemon.

Eg, I could see (in my mind) a Treecko feasting on bugs (flying 1's especially), and since it learns flash, maybe thats how it catches them. It lures them in by making it's eyes glow before snatching them up quickly. Stuff like that. It would also help since I wouldn't need to make xplanation as to how everyone surives as a vegitarian, and why a captured wild Pokemon doesn't see it's companions as lunch (because it eats the defenseless wild animals).

So I wondered, should I include real life animals in my fic?

2nd question, if yes to the above, is this a good explantion for why these wild (and real) creatures can't be trapped and trained.

Pokeballs are designed to absorb 365 (this is not inc. legends) species of animal. These creatures were seen useful for protection, capable of accepting orders and showing brain power beyond that of other creatures and were soon known as Pocket Monsters, or Pokemon for short. At first these creatures were used for protection, but soon after people saw how easily you could gain power using them. Soon battling began using the creatures, and over time it became a sport.
Actually, come to think of it, that needs help. So yeah, help me with the explaination as well

Just an off-topic question. Should the T in "Pokemon trainer" be capitilised, same for the C in "Pokemon centre"
