Pokemon fans

And this is the point I wanted to make. There are hundreds of JRPGs released just in the west, more exclusively to Japan.

If you're on a gaming forum you might be more into gaming than "most" other gamers. So think about it. If you've barely played any amount of RPGs other than a few series, you'd only expect the average gamer to play less.

Also, looking at the lists posted, very few lists, guess most people didn't want to reply to this thread, other than 007BondAgents short list of some good games, with a bit of variety, most are Nintendo developed RPGs, and if not Nintendo developed, then on Nintendo consoles. Few aren't Nintenido developed, and fewer aren't on Nintendo consoles. Nintendo fans have even said it themselves that they assume Nintendo makes the best games so that's why they don't buy third party. But how can so many Nintendo fans who haven't played more RPGs, state that so and so isn't better than Pokemon, when Pokemon or other Nintendo RPGs are just about all they've played. Your opinion is the inherent Nintendo bias you carry around, not because you've played any of the games being argued as worse.

Pokemon has high sales because it's like every other Nintendo franchise. Nintendo is a family friendly console developer, always has been, and parents parents know of Mario, they know of Pokemon since their kids get sucked into watching the TV show which as I've pointed out before is one of the most watched shows on all of Hulu despite their being better animes(Pokemon isn't a terrible anime though.).
