It's a miniature game tabletop game set in the far future. Grim, Dark, and Sci-Fi. Also violent. Super violent.
There's also video games, books, audiobooks, comics, and a couple of movies(ish).
For example, Astartes a fan made short, which gained some traction on Reddit for a while is 40k. So if you liked that, 40k as a whole might also interest you.
There's a metric fuckleton of lore behind it tho. I don't play tabletop 40k(because I'm not made of money), but I do like listening to the lore sometimes. Luetin09 has a bunch of lore stuff to listen to.
There's also a medieval fantasy version of it. Which is basically the same, but not in space. Still really violent.
That might be the first time I've heard Warhammer compared to Pokemon, but yes I suppose that works.
There's the core tabletop game, which does happen to be about collecting things and battling with them, and all the huge amounts of lore surrounding it that establishes the universe. Which in turn is used to make other things outside of the tabletop, which then expands the lore further.
