The anime is weird too, people use guns and shit sometimes lol. iirc the original Japanese text of the gameboy games showed that the world was supposed to be like modern day (1998) Japan in an alternate universe of sorts.
Guns only appeared in the Indigo League story arc. After that, the only firearms that appeared were bazookas and hit that shot nets which Team Rocket would use to steal Pokemon.
So the weird vibe of the anime was from multiple writers trying something I think. I think as the writers got more of an understanding of the world things started making more sense. Still remember one episode was Yojimbo but gym fights.

I need my bazooka net launcher for 39-50 feral pocket monsters in my yard.
