Mario was is a much better franchise. You're also asking an American audience. The only people who actually still watch Pokemon and play Pokemon are little kids. Theres no appeal to an older audience. Where I believe Mario can go to all audiences with its easy to learn and play games. Everyone can play, and as you go both adults and young people are challenged by what the game has to offer. I dont think there really is a need to ask which franchise is better. Mario will always kill Pokemon, in my books, any day.
