The human culture of the Pokémon world, much like the technology, is depicted as revolving around Pokémon. The care and research of Pokémon is shown to be of primary importance, Pokémon feature in many forms of entertainment and media, such as [[Movies in the Pokémon world|movies]] and [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazines]], and [[Pokémon battle]]s are an almost universal pastime. Facilities such as [[Pokémon Center]]s, [[Gym]]s, and even entire arenas and stadiums have been built to this end. So important are Pokémon to humans that they were revered or even outright worshiped in certain parts of the world, especially {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], so named because of their prominent roles in myths and legends. However, this fascination with Pokémon is not always benevolent; various individuals and organizations with motives ranging from greed to megalomania have repeatedly tried to exploit Pokémon to further their own agendas, often at the expense of the well being of Pokémon, other people or even the very world itself. This is not always the case as humans are equally capable of good as they are of evil, and are able to see the error of their ways; however, only time will tell if they are also able to learn from their mistakes. | The human culture of the Pokémon world, much like the technology, is depicted as revolving around Pokémon.

Unlike the real world, humans in the Pokémon world live, for the most part, in an extremely environmentally friendly society. Automobiles are apparently used at a minimum, with walking or riding Pokémon being the preferred [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|methods of transportation]], as demonstrated by the many traveling Trainers who have not been shown to use public transport. However, [[bicycle]]s are common. Many vehicles are seen with virtually no visible emissions such as smoke, suggesting that technology may have allowed for environmentally friendly transportation. Towns and cities are often deeply integrated with the surrounding environment, and often allow surrounding forests to encroach on the city borders. | Unlike the real world, humans in the Pokémon world live, for the most part, in an extremely environmentally friendly society.
