Pretty sure that in normal Pokemon lore they just replace animals. After all, humans canonically eat some of them.I think it also said that Pokemon weren't always on Earth, but showed up back in ancient times. Also normal earth animals were going extinct, probably due to the Pokemon. Which is kind of dumb.
I would rather have Pokemon just be extremely rare critters that weren't driving normal animals to extinction. Would explain better the thrall around them and why people have to travel over hill and dale to find and catch them.
