Pokémon is Nintendo's biggest franchise, providing we're splitting Mario up into subseries.

Well it seems that both 2D Mario and Mario Kart have become more popular as of late.

It seems that way because no Pokémon game sells 20-30 million any more. But Pokémon games are released far more frequently than any Mario series. All of the main series Pokémon games on DS alone combine for over 57 million sales, more than Mario Kart's DS and Wii outings combined.
