If you really think Pokemon's gameplay is simplistic you know jack shit about Pokemon. The singleplayer doesn't matter at all. Pokemon has an incredibly deep online multiplayer metagame. You probably shouldn't talk if you have no idea what you are talking about, but it's a little late for that.

Nuh-uh.
Pokemon attempts to add depth constantly but the limitation of movesets and lack of balance in Pokmon stat distribution and the inability to really balance the gameplay for the metagame has still reduced the game's strategic breadth to a scant handful of the hundreds of available Pokemon, all of whom have to fill specific roles in a team in order to be competitively viable.
The games are simplistic. The only complexity in those games comes from the fact that you have to play constantly with game theory.

Make on OU team and I'll be happy to beat the shit out of you with a UU team. Meet me in shoddy battle and I'll show you some depth.

That you would beat me is almost reflexive, as I haven't competed in quite some time, but that doens't change the fact that this is primarily because I lack the Pokemon-specific game theory knowledge to counter the strategies intrinsic to the gametype.
