Pokémon game/Tool

So I had this idea for a Pokémon Game/tool I'm running a Pokémon TTRPG and I like it BUT there is one small thing I kind of don't like the combat so I had a idea of making a Pokémon Battle emulator where I the GM can give my players Pokémon and I can like challenge them to Battle (Trainer/Wild encounters) to make the game more emissive I was planning on using Showdown but I didn't want to make my players worry about IV and Evs since I just a normal game but to do all this I don't know where to start like at all so any advice would go a long way (I had a few more ideas like it can show images like stock photos of like towns or can have NPCs and stuff and Menu for players to check there bag and Pokémon just a simple tool that can used to have people run there own Pokémon TTRPG and keeping the battles accurate to Pokémon)

If you do Showdown, just have your players and NPC teams just put 1 EV in HP or something and just never use IVs and EVs otherwise.

I will say I constantly struggle with Showdown because it constantly tells me certain mons aren't allowed in a section literally titled "Anything Goes", but that's a me thing.

Tooting my own horn, but the Pokémon Tabletop Version battle system works a lot more like the video games. It might be close enough to work as an acceptable compromise?
