Terrible character idea, IMO...

[Propaganda Man]

lol Pokemon gum! XD

I think Mario would be the all time top selling because of how long its been out and just by how popular Mario is.

Pokemon has been around for a long time as well.

Yeah, but Mario was there long before Pokemon. But Mario and Pokemon are the top sellers for Nintendo.

1983 video games didn't rake in the same amount of money as video games in 1995.

Yeah I know. Im just saying, Mario got pretty popular quick, and it wasnt long before he was looked to as one of the best games ever. Bascially, Im saying, he had a head start, so he got popular quicker which is probably why its such a popular game.

Mario Games were the most bad *CEN-1.01-SORD* games you could play back then. I really don't see your point in your post.

He's popular because of the success he had early on and later on.

 

[RaiK]

Yeah, Im saying he had a head start, and his games were so much fun, that it made him a big success in a short time.

While I agree Pokemon is one of Nintendo's top franchises (and one of the best franchises of all time), Pikachu replacing Mario as mascot? Nope, don't think that'll ever happen.

Thats not what is even being discussed.

It was a few pages back.

But to keep up with the current discussion, I think Pokemon's success came more quickly than Mario's, like Raik said, he just had a head start. Plus, since Nintendo releases two or three Pokemon games at once, it takes a bit more time than Mario's 80 levels or running and jumping we see quit often.

my 2 cents

Mario is more successful in the video game franchise, with big games such as Galaxy, Super Smash bros Mario Party and Mario Kart.

Pokemon is more successful with just about everything else, the reason is because Mario doesn't really have too much besides Video Games, there's no Mario Trading Card Game, no Mario TV show or movies, and no Mario gum lol
Pokemon is an extreme moneymaker for Nintendo, because of all the merchandise you can get, yet the Pokemon games are IMO, Inferior to Mario games.

so in conclusion, Mario > Pokemon at video games, Pokemon > Mario at money lol

Actually new PKMN versions tend to sell better then a new Mario platformer. I think. I know D/P sales were way higher than NSMB.

Actually, there was a TV show a while back! XD
The characters didnt sound anything like youd expect. Mario and Luigi sounded too deep, and Yoshi (yes he talked) sounded like a ******** 2 year old! XDXDXD

There was also a Mario movie.... which failed horribly.

Well, it was deffinetly a surprise.

I kind of like it, its something new, but its still odd. :/

I want to see the look on his face when he dies.

 

[TheGremp]

oh wait >.<

I've seen both the TV and Movie lol

but the TV show isn't around anymore, meaning it probably wasn't very successful, and, do I even need to explain the movie? lol

the Pokemon TV show and Movies are standing tall, I'd imagine that they'll keep going for another 5 years at least

Not if they keep using the gay voices they have now.

You might want to rephrase that.

My uncle has that movie. We saw it at his house, and it sucked so bad. They should just stick with a cartoon movie, if anything. >.>

 

[RaiK]

I hated the movie...it had almost no relation to the games >_<

Cartoons and movies never are related to the games... Examples?

Final Fantasy (Spirits Within.... lul)
Sonic the Hedgehog
Legend of Zelda
