In addition to humans and Pokemon, this world is also populated by magical creatures.
Humans have become the dominant species in most areas of the world due to their adaptability, ingenuity, and sheer numbers proportional to individual impact, as well as their symbiotic cultural relationship with Pokemon.
Thanks to conflicting needs and interests - and the historical strife that's come about as a result - tensions exist between humans and many magical creatures. Even in the modern world, magical creatures struggle to exist peacefully in a world ruled by humans.
Oak's Pokedex project began as an attempt to show the world that magical creatures could co-exist with human interests and mores.
Whether it succeeds or not is up to the actions of the participants.
