For me, the things that would cause chaos in Pokémon games are no types. Just remove all of them and make every Pokémon Normal type. Just use Tackles and Mega Punches and Hyper Beams, etc. can already see people suffering from STAB Explosion from Electrodes and Golems / Gravelers.

And after going through all that, they start at Level 1.
