It could work with a spinoff from a different group and large enough time. Set it up like a larger scale traditional rpg, increased level cap increased, well pretty much everything. The way pokemon is currenly designed is way to simplistic for a standard turnbased rpg.
The player themselves could count as a unit of sorts. With the ability to attack from the back lines with a whip for minor damage or buffing. Think of Monster hunter stories, but everything hunting horn.
