Pokemon's had those, too, though. (Night March is very much one until it's fully set up, for example.) And considering how integral search cards are to Pokemon, most decks are solitaire-esque to a degree. (Especially in item-heavy formats.)
Realistically, I think my list of what other card games have that Pokemon lacks would be much larger. It kind of bothers me that Pokemon has barely ever had any ways to interact with the opponent in their turn. (Power Spray being the only notable one. The fact that it, Mysterious Treasures Alakazam and Koga's Ninja Trick are basically the only times in Pokemon's history this has been possible bothers me.)
