Talking about the anime here, but it's the same for the games.
The first series had this flair that the pokemon were unique creatures that existed in this world. It wasn't clear if humans came to the pokemon world or pokemon came to the human world. There was a strange sci-fi/dystopian/magical realism feel to it. And it felt like all the trainers were privileged rich kids.
There was that gym with the raichu which had a military guy as the gym leader, which gave the impression of a longer history. The original japanese is much more interesting because he speaks in english from every now and then. Which adds to the military lore and gives the impression that the world is much larger than it is. There's the clefairy-alien story, the huge animatronic theme park which I believe is run by giovani, again creating the impression that team rocket does more than just steal pokemon. Team Rocket isn't even the only bad guy. There was that lady obaba who was creating a sea resort and harming the water pokemon.
But after they realized that this shit was gonna go everywhere, they sterilized it a lot. Got rid of all the real animals. They stopped expanding the lore. Ash is now immortal.Nobody ages. They introduced other groups like team magma. idk if team magma appears in the show aside from that one jerachi movie.
Then they gave an origin story with mew and arceus, which ruined the vibe. That original rock carving of mew in the first movie gives the impression the humans evolved in this world alongside pokemon. The teach in the world was cyberpunk af.
Ofc, pokemon adventures actually keeps with this aesthetic. So at least we'll have that.
