Does it seem weird to anyone else that the fancy PC Pokemon TCG game released in 2000 looks and plays so much worse than the Game Boy Color Pokemon TCG game released in 1998?

I get it, this was more of a promotional/instructional CD to keep kids hooked on buying booster packs, but when it has scans of (as far as I was aware at the time) each contemporarily released card, as well as sound effects for Pokemon cries, it feels like a missed opportunity to have such a lackluster game built around those assets.
