Right, I figure this is the best place for this...
Here is one of my more crackpot theories on the Pokemon World, and its place in relation to our world.
I'm not sure exactly how many of you are familiar with the universe of Warhammer 40,000 (which is rated 12+, incidentally, though I think they should raise that bar). If you are not then, I will give you this brief introduction (written by me), and link you to this article on TvTropes: Warhammer 40,000. Link may contain language inappropriate for the young.
DISCLAIMER: I recommend that you first read my description, and if you still want to learn more, click the link. We don;t want anyone frightened unnecessarily.

Background on the 41st Millennium
In the 41st millennium, the human race is in decline. Once a conqueror and lord of the galaxy, man now struggles to ensure his own survival. The vast territories of the Imperium expand no more. They shrink, as every day hundreds of planets fall to heretics, aliens, and traitors. The High Lords of Terra proclaim crusade after crusade in the God-Emperor’s name, stretching Imperial forces to their very limit. Rebellion and desertion threaten everywhere mankind turns.
Every day, more planets are lost in the folds of the Imperium’s unimaginably vast bureaucracy, the Administratum.
Every day, millions if not billions of humans die, butchered by violent aliens, killed by sinister scions of the Dark Gods, even executed by their own leaders and soldiers.
Every day, hundreds of thousands of ships are lost in the Chaos-filled Warp as the Astronomicon, the great beacon which holds the Imperium together, falters.
Every day, the Golden Throne upon which the rotted corpse of the Immortal God-Emperor sits encounters technical difficulties, which the Mechanicum’s techpriests are unable to repair, bringing the Emperor’s twisted shell closer and closer to true death.
If the Emperor dies, his legendarily powerful mind ceases to function, and the horrible daemonic entities residing in the Warp will no longer be held back. They will pour into the galaxy, and they will burn cities and destroy planets, not stopping until all semblance of order is dissipated…
And all will come to an end.
This is the tragic, grim, and despairingly dark world of the 41st millennium, which now draws to a close. Mankind has been the owner of the stars for nearly 400 long centuries, and now, as its realms fold up around it, the Imperium enters its most brutal, violent, and cruel chapter.
These are the End Times…

Grim and dark, indeed...
Now that that is out of the way, I propose the following: the planet on which Pokemon is set is part of this universe. Surrounded by a Warp Storm (an inter-dimensional rip, essentially), the main human faction (the Imperium) cannot contact the planet, and as such, it has been isolated for a long, long time. The humans on the planet have grown to adapt to their new environment, going so far as to befreind the local alien wildlife (or are they daemons).
Not only would this explain their advanced technology, left over from perhaps the Dark Age of Technology (Golden Age of mankind's history), and the ruins of various civilizations that have existed there for the millenia since the separation of the world from the rest of humanity. Apparently, this is not unheard of in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
Obviously, the Pokemon World has been luckily isolated from the horrors permeating the rest of the galaxy, and I won;t go into detail about how this may have been done.
Like I said, insane. I'd just like to hear people's opinions on this.
