But joking aside: Its really what you make out of it. At the end of the day PMD is a game, so it had to cut alot of corners in the story to fit the mechanics of the game. Things like intelligent pokemon making cities while you have a bunch of randos in a dungeon is not explained. In terms of fanshit, this can be a good thing. Because it stays so vague, people can have their own interpretations. It's what you make of it and where you want to lead it. Your choice how far on the autism spectrum you're willing to go.
My interpretation is that the pokemon in certain dungeons don't always have to be 'feral.' Take the dungeon in Super for example, where that grass-type wanted to get some honey and they run into some very territorial bees. Could just be a bunch of faggots in the middle of nowhere having their own little tribe roleplay.
