It was a response regarding NSMB, MKDS. And the best selling g Pokémon on the DS, which is Diamond and Pearl.
But if we're including every other game like remakes and spinoffs. Super Mario 64 DS is another 11.06 million and Mario Party DS is another 9 million. Plus there's Partners in Time and Bowser's Inside Story which combine to 5 million.
And that's just off the top of my head. But right now, Mario still has the lead over Pokémon on the DS
