Or am I missing something here? I never was a huge Pokemon fan but recently I decided to get into it and properly learn the whole thing (since I'm planning on buying the Switch). And holy shit, this is by far the most complex RPG system I've ever seen. We have more than 800 Pokemon in total (all of which are unique in their own way), an affinity system that makes other rock-paper-scissors RPGs piss themselves, more than 700 various spells (comparing that to the usual Japanese agi-agilao-maragi-magarion bullshit is just embarrassing) and all of that is operating as a single system that you need to learn. And that's not even counting all the EV/IV stuff.
That's absolutely massive. It's basically SMT times 10. So why do most people in RPG communities call Pokemon games "too simple"?
