I go with Pikachu, even none gamers knows that yellow rat because of the Anime. Lol

Did pikachu start out in games? If not he doesn't count and hes still not as recognizable as Mario.

I'm pretty sure Pikachu came out on a Pokemon game first before they started the Anime. Of course, Pikachu's popularity had something more to do with the Anime. That turned the big yellow electricified rat into the mascot of the franchise. lol!

Okay I checked wiki and Pikachu came out on Pokemon: Red and Blue in 1996 while the Anime began airing on 1997.
