It would be an interesting (dystopian) concept if there's a region where people are really fed up with pokemon (because recently some pokemon leveled several town and caused lots of casualties etc. https://archive.palanq.win/vp/thread/57866763/#57876733) so only a few pokemon necessary for maintaining the ecosystem are allowed to exist (even harsher than the dex cut, something around Gen1's original number). Battling as a sport is disliked and having pokemon in public is only allowed if they're "harmless" or fulfilling a necessary role in society (like Chanseys in Pokécenters, Arcanines in law enforcement etc.)
Outlawed pokemon are either confiscated or - if necessary - taken down (again, it's a dystopian scenario).
>but good luck enforcing bans on magical creatures that don't give a fuck about human borders across an entire country.
That region could have more advanced tech compared to the rest of the world, so they're capable of fighting pokemon without using pokemon.
