>>57187329>how little each region interacts with one anotherThey do, but the exact hows whens and whys are pretty ambiguous. Only some things are certain, like the ancient Celesticans and Johtonians meeting and having a brief mixing of cultures/faiths.
>like actively how are the deities in each region different from one anotherIt's not even different regions. Even in the same region there exists multiple faiths/deities. The regi-faith in Sinnoh is exclusive to the Arceus faith, most likely predating Celestica entirely.
>if the pokemon are widely regarded as friends why is the usage of pokeballs so acceptedCalm down N, pokeballs aren't torture devices so that's not really a problem. Rather, pokeballs are both symbolically and literally something that unites humans and pokemon. Especially with the release of PLA, which strongly hints that the ancient hero who befriended the original nobles used Origin Balls or something like them.
>Laventon: "(Main character name)-kun, I did it! I did it! I've named it the Origin Ball! If the remaining legends are true, then I should be able to capture the Pokémon that appeared in the Sinnoh Temple."
