It's to hard, so i'll let you guys go

Mario, it is not even close

Mario but what I am interested in is which one is the bigger franchise?

I liked Pokemon the most when it was only "150, or more to see, to be a pokemon master its my destiny!" (Poke-rap reference?)
Now they add 342 after that generation >_>
Mario games aren't close to as stale, so Mario

Mario...He's been in a lot of games. camios in games, cartoon, mangas, comics, movies etc etc etc...not to mention more people know who mario is by name than mickey mouse.

Mario!! I have never been a fan of Pokemon outside of Pokemon Puzzle League

So basically you don't like the Pokemon RPG, but like the Panel De Pon / Tetris Attack series =p

Goes something like this

Panel De Pon, Tetris Attack, Pokemon Puzzle League/Challenge, that GCN port that should have released in USA, GBA port that shouldn't have, Planet Puzzle World or whatever it was called

Well Pokemon Red > all Mario for me, but Mario as a franchise is better.

Mario....but i think Zelda would beat that...IMO!

Mario, its just the way it is.
