So what exactly is it about Pokémon that made it such a large worldwide sensation when it came out and maintain such a high status that it is now the the highest grossing media franchise in the world? What did it do that other monster catching series did not do?

Tajiri the brains who drew on his idyllic post-war Japanese childhood and sci-fi/fantasy tropes, Sugimori the artist, Nishida the mascot designer, and Masuda the composer. all helped.

The mystery pre-internet/very limited internet was part of it. You had to use local gossip and videogame magazines to try to uncover the secrets. The quest to catch Mew was HUGE.

The local shops (even non-anime) were carrying cards and stuff. The cartoons and movies were popular and you could go on quests (like going to the movies) to "catch" real merch like very rare cards.

Marketing and tons of it
Anime being extremely huge
Honestly the world is really easy to immerse yourself into which the anime really takes advantage of
Anything else is fanfic, the games are far from the most mind blowing RPGs, so many fucking shitty filler mons that only the biggest brand whore think is better any Digimon or DQ monster.

Lmao bait. You're in like 5 different threads trying to convince everyone that Digifags and Dragon Queers is better than pokemon. For the love of God, get a job.
