Did the Pokemon cards come first?
Nope, the Pokemon video games came first! The first Pokemon video games, Pokemon Red and Green, were released in Japan in 1996. The Pokemon Trading Card Game didn't hit the scene until 1996 in Japan, which was after the games made their debut. So, the cards actually followed the success of the games, not the other way around!

Actually, it was the video games. The cards were more like a super cool follow-up to the craze the games started.
Games first, cards later. Trust me, I was there. Had to save up my allowance for months just to get my hands on those first edition cards after burning through batteries on my Game Boy.
