Mario has it better because the mainline portion of it has 3D Mario and people only ever say that the "New" series has gotten stale.

There's nothing wrong with having a formula that players like. You wanna know what happens when you try to constantly be innovative and new for the sake of it, look at the Sonic the Hedgehog series and how it constantly tried to reinvent its core gameplay and tone. If it's not broken, don't fix it.

The last main Mario games have been amazing, this isn't up to debate. They were just too short.

>>49745458 >Mario has more relevant spinoffs, fucking Mario Kart, Mario Party, Paper Mario >Mario is more in with the times (switched its formula at N64) >but Pokemon has a more dedicated fanbase >and games that are much more replayable, despite being slow as shit I don't know, it's a trade-off, but Mario is a more worthy franchise of its title than Pokémon.

>>49745458 Mario gets to shake up the formula a bit in his games. Odyssey is different to Sunshine, which was different from 64. Pokemon has been stuck with 6 dudes, 4 moves for a long time.

Another question: What appeals to normalfags more?

Mario's merchandise doesn't sell because the characters aren't appealing enough.

>>49745476 >2006* No. If you're going to correct me then it's 2016. But it's hard to even sell XYORAS as on par with BW-- that said there is a strong argument to be made that Sun and Moon are the cliff while XY was just the dip.

>>49745961 >Nope. DP were objectively a massive drop in quality. Nah. DP were rushed and blatantly unfinished but they still came out as great games. In that sense, they are similar to XY since the end product is still playable.
That's a complete contrast to SM/USUM/SWSH, which were made to be shit on purpose.
