The [[history of the Pokémon world]] is notably different from the real world, and seems to be dictated primarily between the interactions between humans and Pokémon. There does not seem to be a major world religion, but some believe in the ancient myths based around {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], so it is plausible that the population believes in ''Pokémon'' as their religion. Backing this up, most people are generally kind and respect Pokémon. Shinto shrines and crosses have both been seen. In [[Hearthome City]], the Foreign Building appears to be a Christian church. Also, in the [[Pokémon anime]], {{an|Brock}} made reference to the story of {{wp|Noah}} featured in the Old Testament of the Bible in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, [[Wanda]] and {{adv|Riley}} had a Christian-like wedding in ''[[PS320|Verily Vanquishing Vileplume II]]''. | The [[history of the Pokémon world]] is notably different from the real world, and seems to be dictated primarily between the interactions between humans and Pokémon.

However, there exist [[Villainous | However, there exist [[Villainous team|many individuals]] that wish to harness Pokémon for their own nefarious deeds. Some of these people are simply do so for material gain while others hold misguided ideals to help the world. In addition, war is not unknown to the Pokémon world, [[Lt. Surge]] having fought in at least one. [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|Firearms and other weapons]] exist, but are not used as often as Pokémon are. | ||

The Pokémon world looks and acts like the real world in terms of geography. Each have landforms, oceans of water (the [[Oceanic Museum]] has an exhibit claiming over two-thirds of the world is covered by water, the same as Earth), and temperatures to support life - meaning that the Pokémon world is about the same size and same distances from its sun as the real world. Misty even directly refers to the Pokémon world as Earth in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]''. However, if the Pokémon world is ''not'' Earth, it must be similar, having a similar {{wp|moon}}, similar climates, and so on, which explains the similar tides. Many different theories exist as to exactly how the Pokémon world relates to our own. | The Pokémon world looks and acts like the real world in terms of geography.

Humans and nature in the Pokémon world are linked to each other, as many towns are built around the natural environment.

A point of interest, unlike the real world, is that people's links with the nature are strong and they never try to affect the natural environment, with the exception of some [[villainous team]]s. Some Pokémon such as {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} can affect and shape nature causing unexplainable droughts, storms and earthquakes that can affect the continental plates. | ||
{{p|Arcanine}}'s Pokédex entry states that it is considered legendary in China; in the anime, [[Jessie]]'s mother was said to have been lost in an expedition in the Andes; and lab reports in {{OBP|Pokémon Mansion|Kanto}} state that {{p|Mew}} was discovered in Guyana, South America. These observations imply some possibility of the Pokémon world being the same as the "real world", only with extra regions. | {{p|Arcanine}}'s Pokédex entry states that it is considered legendary in China; in the anime, [[Jessie]]'s mother was said to have been lost in an expedition in the Andes; and lab reports in {{OBP|Pokémon Mansion|Kanto}} state that {{p|Mew}} was discovered in Guyana, South America.
