Yes, that's all there is to Pokemon. It's not like there are IVs, EVs, breeding, abilities, equipped items, egg moves, combination moves like Baton Pass, 17 types, STAB bonuses, dual types, and weaknesses. Those are just a few of the gameplay elements that have changed. Compared to Red and Blue in which there were 15 types, no dual types, only 1 attack stat, and weaknesses. Of course the plot didn't change. The game has to be accessible to kids.

Actually...

There were two attack stats in Red/Blue.  Attack and Special.

There were dual types in Red/Blue which was the main reason Ghastly/Haunter/Gengar sucked.

STAB bonuses were around in Red/Blue too.  I'd like to say IVs were as well, but I never peered that far into their mechanics.
