Why is pokemon so famous?

Question

I agree that pokemon RPG series are good games. But there are much better games for the same systems like mega man battle network,and mega man star force, they are also in the collectible RPG genre of games but yet they are not famous in america. They probably sold 30X more copies of pokemon than those games. So I am wondering why those games which are better than pokemon are not famous, but pokemon is famous?

Answer 1

Pokemon when it began was original and appealed to children like no other: can you imagine setting off an adventure accompanied by your cool 'magical animal type' companions? It captured our hearts and as years go on, graphics get better, Pokemon get more weird and wonderful, it gets further instilled as a classic in people's minds. Plus it just is a good game, in my and many people's opinion.
