Can but usually aren't if the fact that one can keep battling using the same Pokémon more than once is any indication.

Have you ever watched the animé? Team Rocket's Meowth can talk and nobody even bats an eye at it; many Pokémon have had human-level discussions via telepathy or illusions or the like; there have been episodes with Pokémon mafiosa; and in at least one episode the Pokémon were translated while talking amongst themselves and demonstrated a language with sophistication similar to human languages. Except Team Rocket's Koffing and Ekans, who were apparently kind of dim.

The anime is written around the need for a show people will watch. It is not a perfect explanation for (or even companion to) the games/universe. The majority of the traits shown in thew anime are exclusive to it, and are only there because it increases ratings.

Ignoring.

And yes, but not all of them can! People fight more than once, too, but some don't. Some get killed.

And yet details from the animé are, so far as I'm aware, generally considered canonical with regards to the games' universe unless the latter contradicts them. Also see Pokémon Mystery Dungeon.

Nein.

If one of you guys brings up Gary's Raticate, that is false. He just dumped it in a PC. If he follows a Silver mentality, he only keeps the strongest 'mons.
 
/continues sacrificing, but does it to Whismur so no one can tell

Ignoring. Even though it's adorable.

Doesn't necessarily make it any less canon. And even if they were merely sentient, sacrificing them would still be bad. Which is why we have animal sacrifice rules in the real world.

Besiedes, if you were to sacrifice something, you can't sacrifice Pidgey and Caterpie. You have to sacrifice the good stuff.

Ignoring because I have Ariados already.
 
Ignoring.

I don't like to think of it as a "sacrifice," per se. More like a post-mortem option.

Bigger stuff is harder to burn, I liek Squirtles.

But if it's the basis of beliefs can it really be outlawed? It's somewhat discriminatory to those who truly believe it

Human sacrifice, animal sacrifice, ritual murder, cannibalism, and more are all part of beliefs of someone somewhere, but they're still illegal. So I'm going to say yes it can.
