Having played it helps. Not everything that this place is is a complete surprise to me, at least.
I'm not implying that this place isn't real, because it surely seems to be, somehow. But it isn't quite a world of fantasy, either. If you took away the Pokemon, what would you have? You would have cities and towns full of people alarmingly similar to those back home.
[So, basically, Pokemon world is a vast improvement on the real world, then. At least, as far as Nagi is concerned.]
