Pokemon should count, Nathan Drake is more popular than every pokemon from gen 4+5, with maybe the exception of Lucario.

Besides the only pokemon from current gen making this list would be Greninja and MAYBE Hawlucha

I'm pretty sure Greninja is the most popular, absolutely no contest. Pokémon is way too huge and Greninja's one of the most popular ones - easily the most popular starter since Blaziken/Mudkip and maybe even more (Charizard?).

I just don't like the idea of trating Pokémon as "characters". They're not characters.

Is Yoshi not a character? He was essentially a pokemon in his first game as well as many others. 

Edit: When people ask who's the most popular character in gaming after Mario, many answer pikachu. I do get what you mean though, but they still are characters..... Right? :0
