Well sure the amount of money generated and sales may not always indicate which is the better franchise. However in this case I'd have to say Pokemon takes the case. Pokemon became my favorite game in 1995 when I got a pirated copy for my PC. I of course bought the legit copy and a GameBoy as soon as I could. The game was amazing I actually managed to collect all 150 thanks to a GameShark which I only used for Mew. I fell in love with the TV show and card game and board game etc...etc... I loved Pokemon.
Now growing up I got caught up in Dragon Ball Z I loved the show and looked forward to every time I could go to a friends house and watch it. (We didn't have cable) I played the games abit and I even collected the cards for awhile. However I slowly grew out of Dragon Ball. I went back and watched the origional Dragon Ball series and didn't like it all that much, after DBZ was done I watched DB:GT for a short while but didn't particularily like it very much.
In the end today I still buy Pokemon games, untill Nintendo took over the card game I bought the cards. I don't buy the anime or movies but every year I watch the newest Pokemon film. I watch the anime every once in a blue moon with my sister who still loves it.
I may not love Pokemon as much as I did from 95-02 but I still love the series. Dragon Ball asa franchise I wanna go back and re-watch all the old episodes but don't want to spend the money doing so. In all honesty my love for Pokemon is alive and well while my love for Dragon Ball has faded.
