The title pretty much says it all. With the recent release of Scarlet and Violet, I too have been caught up in the nostalgia of old and woe of what could have been... and thus I've decided to finally realize my long held dream of running a Pokémon tabletop rpg.

I want to clearly state that this is going to be a fairly open concept style game. Fate encourages player input and agency, not only in the story-telling but also in the setting creation and development. However, EXPERIANCE WITH FATE IS NOT REQUIRED. Literally every one I have ever played Fate with, is because I have taught them how to play the game. I am more than happy to teach you too. What's really important is your interest and passion in the theme and source material.

If I see enough interest I will create the game. So, who wants to play some Pokémon?

This actually sounds really cool! I've been struck by a bit of nostalgic Pokemon Fever myself, and a casual game for exploring and adventure and fun hanging out with mons could be great. I'm curious how you would intend to handle the pokemon themselves. Would they be stunts or aspects? I know that FATE core uses fractals for things like this, but I'm less familiar with FATE accelerated, so I'm not quite sure how you'd build something like this.

Well, without getting too technical and potentially scaring off the Fate-wary, Pokémon are essentially an Extra with a few bits of their own. The game will still play as 98% Fate Accelerated with just a few minor tweaks. And Accelerated is just a slimmed down version of Fate Core/Condensed.

I'm not very familiar with Fate, but I'm always on the look out for a Pokémon game.

That is not a problem. I'm more than happy to teach people how Fate works. :D

Tentatively interest. Are there any sort of character expectations? eg. All trainers or is a difference in motivation allowed?

I don't see any reason you have to be a trainer. The system is flexible enough to allow a lot of different motivations.
