The card game is orders of magnitude more complicated than the video game battles - all that they are is very vanilla JRPG combat with a couple layers of rock, paper, scissors mechanics. One could probably write a finite state machine that would win 95% of the time in a couple hours.
On the grand scale, Pokemon is essentially unloseable, as you can never really paint yourself into a corner you can't get out of. I've seen stupid challenge playthroughs where more than half the game can be beaten with only a single Magikarp... There are only a handful of unique encounters. Pure bloody-minded grinding will always see you through.
