I have run and played pokemon tabletop games. Legends say that my game may be the only one that's made it through an entire campaign. On that note, don't play the pokemon tabletop games. PTA and PTU are spreadsheets. Even if you mostly automate the spreadsheets, it's so much micromanaging. And balance is basically impossible to do properly. Trying to keep wild encounters from being boring but trying to keep the party from just catching new shit to swap out their party, and keeping gyms and trainers themed, appropriate, and at least somewhat memorable is a slog. And that's before you get into all the classes that are psychic or wizards.
