We hunted the mammoths and used their bones and organs as tools and more. With the ability to kill other animals we were able to dominate the world and build our modern societies.
The same can't be said with Pokemon, a group of primitive men could slaughter a mammoth easy... But a Mamoswine?! Those things can summon blizzards and cause earthquakes! We wouldn't stand a chance.
There would be no modern society we'd all be living in caves... or we'd be dead. Probably dead.
It feels silly to say this, but there's actually a canonical explanation for this in Pokemon.
Apricorns. They were used since the stone age to capture pokemon. Instead of evolving to make knives and stuff, humans evolved to use apricorns to catch and train pokemon. There's some kind of reaction with the apricorn or whatever it's made out of which is what causes the pokemon to shrink and fit inside the ball. It's how Pokeballs are made, as demonstrated in Gold & Silver.
I also remember reading something about Arceus creating humans and pokemon as the same beings at first and then they eventually split off.
