I don't remember much about any of the manga, but I do remember Pokémon being around outside of battles.
Detective Pikachu and Pokémon Ranger don't have Pokéballs at all. I haven't played Conquest, but I'm sure it doesn't have Pokéballs either.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon doesn't have Pokéballs either, and there was an actual human with a Pokémon partner in there at some point.
Literally the only part of the franchise where most people keep their Pokémon inside Pokéballs most of the time are GameFreak's games.
