According to this article, Pokemon are alive, but not animals:

At the same time, it is accepted in the Pokemon universe that people eat Pokemon by-products as well as Pokemon themselves.

My question is, if these Pokemon are not animals, are Pokemon Kosher? Does their non-animal status preclude them from being kosher, or are they actually parve? Does ritual slaughter apply to these "non-animals"?
