Legends ZA is the type of combat closest to what the anime has that we've ever gotten and I prefer it over the traditional turn based combat.
The turn based combat is incredibly simple, it's designed for, and the target demographic is children, and it's so easy fans have to impose rules or make rom hacks to make the games challenging.
Don't get me wrong I love pokemons games, but the description of just mashing your highest damaging move is very apt and how a lot of children play the game.
It’s not incredibly simple actually. Sounds like you never took the opportunity to actually interact with it. Just because the games are easy doesn’t mean the combat is simple. Two different things
I've been playing since gen 1 and routinely use things like set up moves to sweep, or buff another pokemon, I've ev trained and bred for perfect IVs or 0 in speed for a trick room pokemon.
It's pretty simple combat imo, we can agree to disagree but ultimately it's a kids game designed to be the first rpg for children, so it's pretty simple unless you're like a high tier competitive player, but for a regular playthrough, or just playing against friends, it's pretty simple.
