The pokemon world is ruled by a one world government established after the great war in the XY plotline, all or most of the regions used to be their own nation and were unified into one state after they had their version of the geneva convention, this is why there are no government buildings in any of the games, because everything is ruled from one central location
the only hints of them in the games is the international police, the international police is the government's gestapo tasked with destroying everything that poses a threat to the government, this is why looker was in diamond and pearl, team galactic wanted to build their ideal world from the ground up, this naturally threatened the world government's rule which is why looker was sent to deal with them, he was sent to deal with team plasma too, but only after they revealed they possessed that giant floating castle superweapon, they didn't care about the conflict team plasma caused prior to that because it did not threaten them directly.
he was sent to deal with team flare, too, because they wanted to create their own NWO, possibly using the same means the current one used to establish itself, the international police did not bother trying to destroy, say, team rocket, since they are just career criminals and have no aspirations to overthrow the world government
the pokemon world is actually a totalitarian dictatorship

There isn't a world government. Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh are all in the same continent.
Literally nobody sans Cynthia knew about Unova pre-PWT and you get a look of Unova's government when you see that Drayden is in charge.
But interpol and looker are seen to take on the rockets in generations
Nice head canon tho

What would you call the secret police if there was just one nation then?
They even have a secret branch, this is some KGB shit

Hey idiot, do you know what international means?
If t was one government, wouldn't they have a unified language? But we have multiple sources of evidence that many regions speak their own languages.

You realize they're part of the INTERNATIONAL police force, right?
