Poll: More Legendary: Pokémon or Mario?

Relampago.

I know Mario has sold more, but I just feel like Pokémon has so much more impact as a brand.

So, do you think the fat Italian plumber is more iconic than the cute electric rodent that everyone knows?

also pikachu is the mascot of japan in the world cup so he'll be getting that worldwide promo too

Even my parent played Mario so that

This is really hard

I'm gonna say Mario but only just.

Pokemon, I love mario but Pokemon was in my childhood so much

I feel like the bigger brand as of right now is Pokémon. They are both iconic, though. They have both had undeniable impact in the gaming industry and outside of the gaming industry.

Pokemon has like 800 episodes and like 15 movies and still counting besides the games which are more succesful lately than Mario.

Let's not forget Pokemon has real impact in the trading card business, movie business, TV business and sports world.

When will Mario?

I.T.

As much as I love Pokemon, the Super Mario franchise is definitely more legendary than Pokemon. It popularized the side-scrolling genre of video games. The Super Mario games are also more critically acclaimed.

I feel like Mario is more restrained to the games themselves whereas the Pokemon franchise has branched out a lot more beyond the games

Mario practically saved the video game industry, so yeah.

They're both legendary and Pokemon is more relevant nowadays.

Mario is the madonna of the games

They both are Italian
Both were legendary in their times
Both have bushy mustaches and eyebrows

King Mario is more relevant for the GP , Pokemon is for nerds and fat people tbh.

Mario and his gang couldn't even stop all 721 of them

I'm insulted

Super Mario is more legendary. Pokemon has had its major impact, but the way Mario has transcended generations so effortlessly without missing a beat has been immaculate and I can't see too many video games or characters doing it. Pokemon is more of a nostalgia thing nowadays.

Pokémon.

I personally prefer Pokemon by far, but I'd have to say Mario. Super Mario Bros was a huge help in reviving the video game industry and without it, Pokemon or any other modern franchise probably wouldn't be around.

Mario is the most recognized character worldwide behind Mickey so that
