I don't understand how you people can look at stuff like Mickey Mouse, Betty Boop, and Hello Kitty and not immediately get the human condition. Humans always latch onto whatever they grew up with and whatever was popular around them, it's just what we do. Those franchises are worth billions every year despite having zero cultural impact. At least Pokémon actually tries to stay relevant instead of letting the merch money flow in the background. This shouldn't be confusing.
