Pikachu has been its main mascot this whole time and kids/Teens/Parents/Grandparents know who he is or recognise pokemon when they see him. Mario has been the biggest and oldest face of gaming to date (accept maybe packman) he is know everywhere! This is why its actually very hard. I wouldn't jump so hard on the 'mario' wagon. I honestly think in global impact its Pikachu! |
Wanna know something? I am 34 years old, which means I am the original NES generation. I didn't even know who Pikachu WAS until I played SSBM in 2001. Pokemon may be a 20 something's childhood, but to the rest of us, he's pretty much non existent. Mario started the modern generation, and saved an industry. Pokemon didn't do that.
