Pokemon created an entire subgenre and spawned a cartoon, comics, TCG, toyline, spin off games, and much much more.
Its hardly stupid or childish in anyway, try stepping into the big leagues of Pokemon were EV training and competive tiers. See the true complexity that is Pokemon, don't disown it because the anime has taken a huge slump over the years.
As for Pokemon relating to Chaotic, I've seen alot of similarities in the two card games. They are both creature centered where the victory condition is based on how many creatures you have destroyed/have left (as opposed to Yugioh or Magic where its based on life totals). Both card games have exessive use of locations and the pokemon card game allows you equip your pokemon with cards to heal or assist them now (much like battlegear)
Strategy is buying a bottle of fine wine when you take a lady out for dinner. Tactics is getting her to drink it.
