There are regular butterflies in the background here

People in the anime have been shown eating Magikarp before

The newer games have food dishes that are probably based on regular animals

The anime has probably shown animals before

I think they existed, but primarily in Generation 1 when the worldbuilding was still in its infant stages such as the country USA being named in Pokedex entries along with Raichu being stated to have enough electricity to zap an elephant into paralysis or whatever. These traces seem to slowly vanish as we move throughout the generations.

I like to think those early Pokédex were meant as outer universe explanations for the gamer, and that in the actual Pokemon world only Pokemon exist : p

They used to. I imagine Pokémon killed them all, but left the plants.

I always assumed that real animals did exist in their world but I have no idea what happened in Pokémon after 1999
