Despite the amount of advanced technology available, comparatively few [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|modes of transportation]] are seen. This may be because the world is often shown through the eyes of a [[Pokémon Trainer]], who usually travel on foot for a variety of practical reasons such as cost and finding [[wild Pokémon]]. However, there is a possibility that some transportation such as cars and trucks are harmful to the natural environment and Pokémon by the poisonous pollution from the vehicles. The most common transportation used to get to other regions or islands is by sailing by boat or ship, as it is a quick and easy way to get to other lands, while most regions have their own ferry. People can also use Pokémon for transportation by {{m|fly}}ing or {{m|Surf|swimming}}.

While Pokémon are generally tolerant of human settlements being constructed, most will often react with hostility to any human attempts to truly cause harm to the natural environment. In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', not only did a large group of Diglett and Dugtrio constantly hamper construction of a dam that would have destroyed much of the local habitat, the Pokémon of several trainers invited to the scene to deal with the attacks refused to come out of their Poké Balls, and is one of the rare instances of [[Ash's Pikachu]] refusing to fight, which prompted Ash, Misty, and Brock to investigate further. In return, Pokémon are often seen providing several services that in the real world are performed by technology: {{t|Water}}- and {{type|Ground}} Pokémon are often used to fight fires, {{type|Electric}} Pokémon used as a clean source of electrical power, and so on.
