...I've been trying to avoid learning too much about it for fear of getting sucked back into WoW during the holidays.

That's a good idea, haha! If you don't want to get sucked into WoW, avoid this expansion at all costs. It's really, really involved and has sooo much to do. This is one of my better experiences with the start of an expansion and if you don't want to get sucked into it STAY AWWAAAAYY, haha!!

I haven't really played the new Pokemon games; I love the anime and I love the old games, but that's where I'm happy to stay: in the past with my nostalgia! 😅
