My kid discovered pokemon go and loves it. I'm excited because he's getting outside and walking around, getting some exercise and not just playing video games in his room all day.
I was thrilled when he asked me to download it so we could be friends. I've downloaded it but was wondering if there was a version (or a similar app) that is more privacy respecting?

Sadly, no. And the company has had a past of treating it’s customer base as garbage. So prepare yourself for shenanigans.

I have Pokemon go installed in a separate profile on grapheneos. Doesn't do anything unless I open that profile, and it's not attached to any identity.

I doubt it's much more privacy respecting, but google(?) did have its ingress game.

Same company. Niantic makes Go and Ingress.
