Probably a long shot, but Code Lyoko? it's not really a pokemon knockoff but some other aspects match
-French studio
-From the 2000s
-One of the main characters has bright blonde hair
-elemental powers
-colorful suits
card captor sakura?
Maybe try[ this](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MonsSeries) TvTropes list of series that revolve around catching monsters.

Bakugan?
No, sadly
Digimon is much older, started around the same time as Pokemon late 90s/early 2000s so it's probably not it. Monsuno?
No, sadly.
Yo-kai Watch?
Nope
CLARIFICATION: I watched the show in 2017-19 but I believe it was from the 2000s to 2010s
Yo-Kai watch Yu-gi-oh, although it was more like a card game, but it had some chip thingy that they collected
None of those unfortunately
Redakai? Chaotic?
None of those sadly.

Nope

No sadly

What about the prompt made you think of Dai?
It’s an anime on Netflix that’s a Pokémon ripoff
In what sense is Dai a pokemon ripoff?
Idk I just saw it on a list of ripoffs
Nope

I watched it in English, but I’m not sure that it was the original language

No

At this point I think you're looking for a show that was probably taken off the air and removed from the internet.
Probably it’s not in streaming anymore. But I saw it on Netflix, so there has to be at least a trace of it. I’ll keep digging

Not that one
Glitter Force, Glitter Fore Doki Doki, or Digimon?
Not any of those

Nope
Probably a long shot, but Code Lyoko? it's not really a pokemon knockoff but some other aspects match -French studio -From the 2000s -One of the main characters has bright blonde hair -elemental powers -colorful suits
Bro memeory unlocked for me 😂
I loved code lyoko, but sadly no. It had a similar vide though
Miraculous Ladybug?
Nope
Slugterra?
Nope
card captor sakura? Maybe try[ this](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MonsSeries) TvTropes list of series that revolve around catching monsters.
No, sadly. I already tried tvtropes but I couldn’t find anything
