"It turns out the reason Kanto is in such a sorry state is actually because of a climate crisis. According to notes you can find in the game, humanity began something called the Pokémon Conservation Project, a plan to safely store all the Pokémon in the world in a massive computer storage system similar to the ones players use in the main games, while humanity took refuge in space."
"Some humans then returned to the planet to survey the environment and maintain the Pokémon's storage system. This was all due to 'weather disturbances,' so Kyogre and Groudon have some explaining to do."
Pokémon Pokopia is set in a post-apocalyptic version of Kanto caused by climate crisis rather than extinction or plague. Humanity initiated the Pokémon Conservation Project, storing all Pokémon in a massive computer storage system similar to those in main games, while humans took refuge in space. Some humans later returned to survey the environment and maintain the Pokémon storage system. The crisis stemmed from severe weather disturbances, with unclear origins. This represents a darker narrative direction for the Pokémon franchise, depicting humanity's forced evacuation and separation from Pokémon.
