Yeah, man, when you throw in all the roles your pokemon need to play, sweeper, special tank, physical tank, etc, all this stuff I "sort of know general ideas about" yet never quite got into it. I was one of the kids who quit after gold/silver but knew people who were very 'hardcore' about it. 
Basically, when you throw in eV training, custom move sets, predictions, predictions of predictions, multiple sets, it does get complicated and strategic.
