Pokemon World is not Earth. Regions are BASED off of locations on Earth & certainly the first four main series regions are tightly based on the geography of Japan.
But if it were Earth, then why is there a region based only on the geography of New York City while there's another region that's based off of France? Think about it. Unova would have to be much smaller in scale to Kalos, but it's not.
While the Pokemon world probably was initially considered identical to Earth by the creators, that idea has been debunked from around Gen V on.
