Computer viruses, of course.

Well, let's see. In the olden days, we used to dig large burrows in the side of a cliff, and live in small family groups. Our children would dig their own burrows underground, often creating elaborate underground mazes. Nowadays, we've learned to work with two main building materials: glass and concrete, both of which require little more than the natural materials we find readily in our desert habitat. We can make large, dome-shaped buildings, with entrance holes in the top, and little glass windows. Having access to easy fire makes building and shaping so much easier and quicker to develop. We've really come a long way in the last 4,000 years.

WHILE YOU ARE HIBERNATING SIR I REQUEST FOR YOU TO BECOME MY AQQuANTICE
DO YOU ACCEPT

OH I AM VERY SORRY I FORGOT

ALRIGHT I HAVE SENT IT TO THE POST OFFICE. THEY WILL DELIVER IT TO YOU IN 3.2898 DAYS

OH MY

FROGS ARE VERY GREEN, YOU KNOW

OK, WHAT IS YOUR ADDRESS? IS IT STILL 2541 ENCHANTED MAGICAL LAND BLVD, SWEET HOME, ALABAMA?

NOOOO

BLASTOISE NOT YOU

HOW WILL I EVER SURVIVE KNOWING THAT THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS HUMAN ALSO IS NOW HUNGERING FOR MY BRAiNZ

OH NOEZ SHALL I SAVE MYSELF? I THINK I SHALL
*tries to run off but ends up tripping over pile of brains*

OH YES I SEE YOUR POINT

SHALL WE TALK ABOUT SOMETHING BOTH GENDERS LIKE

LIKE THE INEVITABLE ZOMBIE INVASION COMING SOON TO A THEATRE NEAR YOU

I'M SORRY I PREFER GROVYLE MYSELF

THEY ARE VERY HANDSOME AND THE WAY THE KEEP A STICK IN THEIR MOUTH REMINDS ME OF A CIGARRETTE

A VERY BADASS HANDSOME GREEN LIZARD SMOKING A CIGARRETTE

NO

I WILL NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER

BECAUSE YOU MUST LIEK MUDKIPS AND NOT SWAMPERTS
JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE IN THE SAME EVOLUTION CHAIN DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN CHANGE THE WAY OF THE MEME LIKE THAT

BECAUSE

BECAUSE YOU USED ME TO GET TO THAT PRETTY LITTLE SWAMPERT

HOW COULD YOOOOOUUUU

No I didn't mean it like that!
I was honestly just confused about what the heck your avatar was, but now I will remember.

Oh no! You murderer! Poor, poor dandelions... How do you live with yourself?

Just kidding... If something doesn't survive, it means it wasn't strong enough, or lucky enough, to. Strength can come in many different forms... (the Pokemon games give 6 different gauges of 'strength' ;) but there are others too )

If Magikarp were the only creatures around, and thus the choice was between eating them and starvation, I'd soon begin to think they were mighty tasty. In fact, that kind of thing is exactly why Pandas eat bamboo. Still, my kind can go months without food or water if we need to. We're cold-blooded, under most circumstances, so we don't need to eat nearly as much as mammals of similar size. In fact, a single Sandshrew can last me a whole week on average, though I do start to get hungry well before that. Hunger is a force to drive one to search for food... and normally it could take days or weeks for a flygon to find food if they were hunting, though farming and civilization has simplified that considerably.

I gtg... be back later

Seaweed, huh? So you don't eat fish?

Digest? not very well. For us, plants are used mainly for fiber if needed, though we do grow numerous plants, mainly for use as grain for feeding our Sandshrews.

If that's what you want to believe, I don't care. I'm not asking you to like, or even understand, a Flygon's morals. All I'm asking is that you respect the fact that we have our own code, instrumental to our own society, developed over eons. Marching over from one society to another only to spread 'blasphemy and heresy', and announce that your way of doing things is 'superior' to theirs is not a good way to promote understanding and friendship (though it's been done countless times during history).

Only time can tell which way is better, as history tends to be written by the survivors, and thus supports their way.

I won't even give that a response.

Just know that we Flygons have our own culture, our own morals, and they may not correspond directly with your morals.

:p so now you don't want me to go into a dissertation about biology? all right, fine... you just eat your berries and I'll eat my sandshrews, and everything's fine.

First off, very few berries actually grow in the desert. Second, if everything only survived on berries and nothing else, it would greatly limit both the population and the biodiversity of an ecosystem. Competition for those precious berries would cause fighting amongst different species, and even between members of the same species, and death would reign supreme anyway. But, since everything eats berries instead of even dead bodies, those bodies would just remain, littering the lands, serving as a reminder to everyone that eating berries is not as carefree and passive as they once thought.

Basically, everyone has their own niches within an ecosystem. Flygons are predators, and we feed on whatever we can find. Sandshrews are some of the most common creatures in the desert, and thus are some of the most common creatures to be fed upon. "Survival of the Fittest" does not take into account "Sentience".

So what? We do what you have to do. What do you expect us to eat? We've been feeding on Sandshrews since the beginning of time, pretty much. It's just one of the facts of life. Pokemon in the wild naturally eat other Pokemon... without that fact, the world's ecosystem would be imbalanced.
