Yea, like 20 years ago. Everyone knows Pokimon - people at work that ever play any of the games have collections of the toys at their office. It has how many more movies than Mario?

Mario is big for Nintendo gamers, but Pokimon is bigger because it has a more broad appeal.

You could also say the same for Mario. There are figures that people can buy that are Mario related. Heck, here's this as an example of Mario's influence outside of games (the third time I posted this): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BpfpkrOZRuk. 

You should say it, and cute props on the set, but doesn't make it true.

He is just a plumber with a big nose.  It's nothing compaired to a world of cute little monsters - everyone gets to pic their favorite.

To the general public, at least in the states, Pokimon is 'that thing with pikachu'  while mario 'is just some kids game.'
