I think you've focused on the extraordinary conditions of the protagonists, and ignored the features of the world for normal people.

Most people do not battle their pokémon regularly.

Pokémon are partners, not slaves - and the people who treat their pokémon as objects are consistently bad and harmful of society. And you'll note that this is an area that villainous teams focus on.

There is a lack of poverty, healthcare is free, education is free, and there isn't hunger or homelessness.

Society works to support each other without the profit motive. Except for those who push into competitive battling, and criminals.
