first, humans are humans. they reproduce like us and have all the same attributes as we do. if you were teleported to the Pokemon world you would fit in just fine from a biological and cultural(mostly) standpoint. (kukui and Bernet as an example)
it's still not "Earth" but its features are very much Earth-like, as we know it. It's just another fantasy world whose landmasses resemble that of our earth or are new completely, it's very common in fantasy. it's not bad at all just not uncommon.
how ever I don't believe that its a peaceful utopia like he said it is. the Pokemon world has just as many problems as our world. They have wars, political conflict, corruption, killing, crime, don't always get along or work together, etc. We know this not only from the games but from the anime as well. I think he would only have made a claim like this because, how would it look for a person closely associated with Pokemon to go out and say "Yeah pokemon has murder, war, crime, etc"
the pokemon world (much like ours) has plenty of problems
