I've played this. About the only Pokémonish addition to the game that goes beyond cosmetic is the new set of rules regarding rolling doubles. In standard Monopoly, when you roll doubles (two of the same number on the two dice) you get an extra turn, and this can be done in Pokémonopoly if you prefer, but they also offer "Pokémon Powers" that you can use. Each number from one to six has been assigned a pokémon power, and if you roll doubles of that number you can use the pokémon power, from Bulbasaur's Leech Seed (collect $50 from each player) to Mewtwo's Teleport (go to any square on the board, do not pass Go.)
