Has Pokemon surpassed Mario?

[PAOerfulone]

True, while mainline Pokemon has consistanly sold more than mainline Mario, there has never been a Pokemon Kart or a Pokemon Party (that I know off), or a Super Pokemon Galaxy type platformer, Mario is one of those characters that you can do just about anything with. But that's not to say Pokemon isn't capable of that, the Mystery Dungeon series and especially Pokemon GO is shining proof that you can, but I don't think Game Freak or the Pokemon Company have really wanted to.
