Did the Pokemon card game come first?
Nah, the Pokemon card game didn't come first. The original Pokemon video game for the Game Boy hit the scene in 1996. The Pokemon Trading Card Game shuffled in a bit later, around 1996 in Japan and 1998 internationally. So the video games introduced us to the world of Pokemon before the TCG had us flipping cards.

Video games all the way! The Pokemon TCG was cool and all, but it came after the video games had already charmed the pants off us.
Actually, the TCG was a masterstroke to expand the Pokemon universe post video game launch. It wasn't just an afterthought but a strategic move to build on the massive success of the video games. I remember rushing out to get my deck right after tackling the Elite Four on my Game Boy!
