If you've played the Pokémon Ranger games on the NDS, you quickly realize that Pokémon are not just for battling. Pokémon are actually helpful creatures that can and will help people, and in return, people can help them by letting them have a place in the environment. Recently I've gotten myself caught in a quandary that involves an issue with my yard and the neighbors, and while this quandary doesn't evoke Pokémon per se, it made me think about the relationships of people and Pokémon.
The takeaway from the quandary and situation above is that we need to conserve and cooperate. We need to try our best to keep the environment a hospitable one - Pokémon may not live in this world, but we still do, and as a matter of fact, so do all other organisms. And should conservation or anything else causes problems, we also need to work together to resolve them - again, we don't have Pokémon, and we only have ourselves, and as thus we need to make sure that the solutions won't put us into conflict.
The relationship of shaping the environment to our needs and shaping our needs to the environment is a delicate one, so we should make the best decisions possible. And if these decisions result in problems, we need to find solutions that we can agree on and accomplish together. You can imagine that these efforts are multiplied in a world with many biologically different and demanding creatures in addition to people.
Now if you'll excuse me, I think I need to check back with the neighbors.
