First, they'd have to get rid of BST. If they didn't, there would be no point in changing the battle system at all. A real-time battle system with BST would result in the same overpowered Pokemon being used with over 700 Pokemon coded into the game that are unusable lest you'd have a bad time. There would have to be a large element of skill to the battle system. If not skill, then it would be a Digimon World style grind where any Pokemon can get any stats it wants as long as you're willing to grind for them.
Considering that BST would be gone, all of these hundreds of Pokemon would be the same except for their typing and maybe their moves. The vast majority of moves and strategies associated with specific Pokemon would have to be gutted as well. There would be a small moveset shared among Pokemon with similar types. Think about the moves system in Digimon World. The game would be incredibly bland.
As the Pokemon games stand now, there are certainly problems and things that could be improved, but all variation and unique quirks about many Pokemon will be lost forever if the traditional turn based battle system is abandoned.
