Pokemon was always better.
Oh, you're talking about sales and relevence aren't you. :L
I'd say no and yes then, but not by much, they're pretty equal. Mainline Pokemon sells a lot better than mainline Mario, but Mario destroys Pokemon in the spin-off department. Pokemon is way more relevant right now though and you're right that Mario doesn't fit mobile aswell as Pokemon does, but I doubt there are many people playing Go who don't also know who Mario is, and it remains to be seen how long the Go hype will last. Plus, being popular due to a crappy game isn't really something to be proud of.
