Because it's an idea of life. And a common thing in japan.

Pokémon at first was supposed to be "Japan with monsters" at first, but then they started to become their own world.
This can be a soft retcon, like Surge being the Lightning American, or China existing, or that Indian Elephants were a thing.

Gen 1 was set on earth because it was made before TPC ruined the series.

No, you don't. You're just too much of a bitch to actually fight back against anything so you pretend your internet crying is doing something.

Yet Gollet and Gollurk do raise some questions

They didn't think much of it politically because Buddhism isn't really a religion in the same sense as Christianity or Judaism.

Pokemon took place in the real world in Gens 1 and 2. Gen 3 retconned this, and now it's only loosely based on the real world.

Taking place in the real world means a series has to keep retconning and updating itself to keep up with the times. Like how Homer Simpson was now a teenager in the 90s.
