You're half-right. Some play pokemon to catch 'em all, others for the classic gameplay that's easy on the brain, others prefer to go competitive, etc. But it doesn't change the fact that skill is involved either.Words have definitions, not phrases. Further, words often have multiple definitions.
Millions play the game of Solitaire for fun. I'd rather chew on glass.
You don't get to define for anyone else what game they play, why the play it, or how they enjoy it.
Anyway, we should probably stop debating semantics here. I'm curious as to how the new battle system will turn out.
