They really were, at least in Japan. One of my first import games was actually Pokemon Green. Showed it to friends at school and they were like "what is that?" I always had to tell them I didn't know because I couldn't read any Japanese at the time. About a year later is when Red and Blue came out here.

Or are you just highlighting that to show how old they are? It is a bit crazy that the first games in the series have been out almost 17 years now.
