Alternately, it's gone the other way: the creation of the Pokéball allowed for more people to carry and train Pokémon. I mean, I doubt someone would let their kid try and pick up a Tentacool to train, where as it's common place in the modern Pokémon world. I ponder that Pokémon training was a very dangerous trade that few Humans would pick up in the past, but some would and would look after them and their own. Chase off a pack of Houndoom harassing the local farmers, stuff like that. I can imagine Gyms originally being a place that taught those willing how to train and care for Pokémon and the badge was to signify that, yes, this one can look after the Pokémon they're claiming is theirs and it isn't a Wildmon that's wandered in.It could be that in the past more people routinely owned and trained pokémon, and give the explanation that the modern world allows for fewer people to carry and train pokémon
Then, when Pokéballs came around, more and more people took to catching and raising Pokémon, as they had a handy-dandy safety device they could retract the Pokémon into if they started getting aggressive.
