It's 2025. Pokemon are real... sort of. Thanks to the success of GO, Nintendo and other companies developed a special kind of glasses that lets you see Pokemon in the real world, exactly like the interpretation shown in the first Pokemon GO trailer. You buy Pokeballs in real life and throw them, a normal ball costs 5 dollars, while a great ball costs 20 and an ultra ball 30.
Pokemon are scattered around the world with types and lore dictating where they're exclusive to. Caterpies and Bulbasaurs in forests, mudkips and seismitoads in swamps, etc. Legendaries are scarce (as in 5-10 in the entire world) and live in harsh environments like mountains and dense rainforests or even the Antarctic. Some are one-of-a-kind like Groudon and Kyogre reside within volcanoes or in the deep sea. And others are just uncatchable like Arceus and the Creation Trio.
Battles are in real-time like in the anime, but the mechanics remain mostly the same. Although some tournaments (like Smogon) impose a turn-based format, among others. EVs still exist. IVs too but they can't be changed or seen, competitive breeding is pretty much useless because stats can't be seen at all except a percentage of your Pokemon HP.
Each Pokemon has his own personality and desires. You'll be able to speak and interact with them, but obviously be unable to touch them in any way.
Due to how widespread these GO Goggles have become, most people on Earth have a pair and become Pokemon trainers. Tournaments with high money prizes are held, schools are openned up.
All of this keeping in mind that real animals still exist, so exploring dangerous places like the Amazon rainforest and the Sahara desert may be rewarding for high-levelled and potentially high-IV'd and legendary pokemon but the environmental danger from the weather and wildlife has caused and will cause plenty of deaths.
What happens with you?
