if a group was playing this IRL, it'd look like they were doing taxes when in reality they were just playing Pokemon.

What he said. You could probably have more fun with a Mystery Dungeon format.

PTA is shit, don't bother with it
PTU is super convoluted but playable, use at your own risk
Pokerole is another system, less convoluted for beginners but still, play with caution.

Pokemon pen and paper is a super light system and quick to set up, play it of you want bare bones

Pokecthlulu is also there, play if you are a faggot.

This.

I've done 2 separate games with mostly different people for pokemon. The second game went longer, but both died pretty quickly due to lack of interest and party not wanting to stick together. I wish you luck op.

I have had more luck using pokerole, cause PTU is kind of tiresome to DM and I was always forgetting details and making mistakes due to the system being so extensive.

Mystery dungeon is kino and is objectively the best thing to have come out of the franchise.

god it sucks that nobody knows it.

OK so stay with me, but Monte Cook Games recently put out a game called Predation, which is about Dinosaurs. In it, each PC gets a dinosaur companion. I've been looking over it and I think you could at use its system for Pokémon, but each player would only have one. Having GM'd games with a lot of players, I can only see this as a good thing, but you'll never have teams of six battling each other.

Alternatively everyone saying use a Mystery Dungeon format definitely have the right idea.
