The Pokéverse

In a world similar to ours where humans coexist with diversely powerful creatures known as pokémon, a surprising number of them capable of feats like firebreathing and telekinesis, how is daily life for human 'pokémon trainers' and their nonhuman companions going to look? More importantly, how did the practice of pokémon training come to be and how does it affect other aspects of the world they live in?   Meant to be a realistic, yet still lighthearted take on the concept of Pokémon, primarily focusing on the core series.   Note - This fanwork is only a showcase of how I interpret the Pokémon world and is not affiliated with The Pokémon Company in any way.
