pokemon isn't really a roleplaying game tho
But they are though. You play the role of a Pokemon trainer on a journey to beat the champ, stop the evil group from doing evil, and catch all of the Pokemon.

It's no different than a group of heroes going on a journey to stop the big evil that's attacking the land, except the equipment and leveling stats up is replaced with capturing monsters and leveling up their stats.

1.) Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas
2.) S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (more of a linear rpg but it's amazing and counts)
3.) Deus Ex

yes it is
it even has most of the traditional rpg elements like turn-based combat, party system, leveling, etc.

most of my favorites are pretty vanilla, The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Pokémon, Terraria, stuff like that

I'd like to find some other lesser-known ones but I can never seem to get into any of them, so many are so slow to start so I always lose interest a couple hours in

dude what

you explore a fantasy world, build a party, get into battles, fight bosses, level up, and save the world

that's like the exact formula for an RPG

I'm not saying it doesn't have rpg elements but it's more of a strategy game with how you have to account for types/moves/and match ups with some virtual pet stuff thrown in.
then again this will devolve into a no true scotsman type of argument so my point rests here.

There's no "no true scotsman" argument here because it is, by definition, an RPG. It's listed everywhere as an RPG. Wikipedia lists it as an RPG. Countless forum threads full of people call it an RPG. The official website itself lists the genre for every main series game as RPG. There's no top-down world view, no units to control. If it quacks like a duck...

Saying it's a strategy game just because it has type advantages that make you pick the best attack for the job is the same as saying Golden Sun or Final Fantasy aren't RPGs because certain magic deals more damage against specific monsters.

Right.
Almost every game has some sort of strategy element to it. Doesn't make it part of the strategy genre.
