We do learn the metric system as part of our science classes
Ignoring any dumb nationalism reasons (have you seen the dumb shit we go through for this over the years....), the switch probably isn't ever happening because of how much everything domestically would have to change to accommodate it. We can barely do that with things that actually matter, much less measurements with conversions most computers can just handle it.
I am surprised that the metric measurements aren't in Pokemon as a toggle, just as part of the world wide push the series has. Even just something as simple as "they display based on region of your switch"
