>>43437699>The Adventure's of Anon and QueenieSo in this universe the pokemon can communicate with people which makes them 100% equal to humans simply because of their sapience and intelligence. I doubt they'd need to be taken care of because they can handle themselves, but if some would like to live among people in that whole Trainer & Pokemon relationship style I could see it.
I like to think the world would look closer to how Digimon works, in that the bond is that of friends on equal footing. Also

Some of these pokemon are so powerful they could be seen as literal gods and would be worshiped. So religions would be different from the world we have now.
