I have seen your replies and I can see where you are coming from and THIS is the ONLY post that I seem to have a issue with.
Only because you say Pac-man is the most recognizable character.
But in this post you say that you feel that Pikachu is more recognized than even Mario due to Mario not being as relevant as Pikachu is now. Yet Pacman really hasn't been "relevant" in like over 20 or 30 years. I guess I am confused because you say Mario is not as relevant as he was 10 years ago and has been surpassed by Pikachu so that makes Pikachu more recognizable. Yet Pacman is who has not been relevant in over 20 years is more recognizable than both. It is like you are contradicting yourself here.
Other than that good points!

That is true that Pac Man hasnt been very relevant for years, but its not like he hasnt dissappeared either, he still has games that come out on a regular basis. And he still has many pop culture references like other video games, books, movies. etc., I believe he even appeared in the movie Wreck It Ralph, Hell Pacman even got a Google Home Page dedication to it, there were even companies that complained there was drops in productivity due to this. Just taking into account the number of people who use Google on a daily basis they would have seen him.
Because of that and because I believe Pokemon is turning into the defacto game for kids under 13, thats why I think its still Pacman. And I thought the Poll essentailly proved that. I know its anecdotal, but both my neices (10 and 8) have a Wii and a DS, neither of them have a Mario game, because all they want to play is Wii Sports and Pokemon. I just feel its a similar trend as the reason they play it is because their friends play it. Which is the reason my generation played Mario, because our friends played it. But we knew who Pacman was because he was a staple at every Arcade in the world and still is. They still hold World Championships for Pac Man on a regular basis.

Okay that is true and I can respect that answer. That part had just confused me because what you said had worked more against you than for you that's all. But again even if I think it is Mario more so I still understand exactly where you are coming from and see what you mean.
