Why hasn't there been a successful Pokemon clone on PC yet?

It's because most of them are multiplayer focused card games with no Single Player or are new IPs that don't "Megaman X" the shit out of their games.

monster designs fall short most of the time

If there hasn't been a clone of a wildly succesful game series yet on a different platform it's probably because the userbase of that platform has no demand for it.

Because it makes more sense to modify a pokemon game that already exists

Pokemon is considerably larger in scope than just the games, and has been that way for over twenty years. Though I'm sure you could make a good Pokemon clone for the PC, it would lack the ubiquitous multimedia empire Pokemon has built around itself, which is key to the franchise's success. Gamefreak could stop making mainline Pokemon games right now and I'm sure Pokemon could continue profitably for another ten years.
