Depending upon how 'reset' works here, would they like it? I never got into pokemon (I was in high school when the first game came out, working part time, and involved in many school activities). I've seen a couple episodes of the anime just watching TV at various times and I've watched people play through some games (mostly on YouTube, but also my wife playing a bit on our TV). It really just seems like a glorified paper-rock-scissors simulator to me with some extra complexity and a whole lot of memorization. Without the nostalgia nor love of the universe, it does nothing for me (though I would probably feel differently if it were something I'm actually into).
Yeah, I don't feel like they would. A big part of the 'fun' as a kid is that you're learning about all these Pokémon and your brain registers it as learning useful things. As an adult, you'd be starkly aware that it's not useful, in particular also because you're much less likely to have a friend group, where you can chat about this stuff.
