Go look up Pokemon's sales then point and laugh at Final Fantasy.  RPGs are, mostly, still niche outside of a few.

Honestly I do not understand what the hell people see in pokemon, unless they are 12. The very first one was fine, ok maybe the second one was still ok but it just got ridiculous to me. 

Back on topic, I really believe that alot of good and better rpg's go overlooked because of Final Fantasy. I mean look at Vagrant Story, that game was a masterpiece. Also Valkyrie Profile1, 2, xenogears, breath of fire, lunar, shadow hearts 1 and 2, Legend of Legaia, Legend of Dragoon, Legend of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross. I mean damn, most of those games I would beat at LEAST 2-3 times (more if it's Chrono series).

This reminds me of the classic example of Zelda on the NES when The Magic of Scheherazade was a FAAAAR superior game to Zelda 1 and 2.

BTW, does anyone remember a gem called Brave Fencer Musashi?

Pokemon Red and Blue were amazingly original games at the time.  I actually got all 150 in blue; My friend got red.  After that they become old and boring after the re-released the same game under different names.

Same with me.

I was 10-years-old and got Red for Christmas, my Cousin got Blue. We both got 151 Pokemon (we also got Mew) and dueled the heck out of each other.

Then Yellow came out, he got it, I tried it and thought "I'm not going through this again" and haven't played a Pokemon game since.
