"What are the major ramifications of the existence of Pokemon?"

Beyond just the technological advancements shown in the world of Pokemon, there are a number of things that would dramatically shift in the world that are not addressed properly in the games/animes.War is sometimes hinted at, but not explored for obvious reasons. Powerful pokemon using hyperbeam to obliterate people would be real, but pokemon with Protect to surround key structures and positions would also be a thing. Perhaps a wave of Sleep Powder before some Poison Gas sweeps into your trench to suffocate you would also be a thing.Economically Payday would be a nightmare. There would probably be a way to determine Payday coins and perhaps they would be illegal, like counterfeit money. Or perhaps currency would shift elsewhere. The ability to create what appears to be clean water (most water pokemon), or shift dirt/stone around with ease, would fundamentally change how cities are planned, created, and how construction takes place.Large pokemon would damage infrastructure regularly, between earthquakes, fireblasts, or even just an onix burrowing around, it would be really difficult to keep long supply lines in tact. Some way to Repel pokemon from highways/train lines would be necessary, perhaps a technological solution or numerous guards with pokemon patrolling those lines.There would be so many, what would be the biggest changes in a world if Pokemon actually existed?
