Why does everyone like pokemon so much?

[Luigi #98]

Can I at least do digimon?
The thing about pokemon is that I hate the characters and I think the pokemon like pikachu and pichu are lame. You see, this doesn't mean I like theem but because I hate pokemon I think the pokemon so much, I think charizard and the ones like that are okay.(I hate them but they're not like the others which I can't even stand.)
So why does everyone like pokemon so much?

Mario: Hey! If you ever see Bowser make sure you kick his....AHHHHHHHHH!!!!
*bowser burns him*
Bowser: THAT''S FOR.... uuuhhhh........ what was that for again?
Luigi: You were supposed to get the doc! I don''t want any stupid prescription!

Your public bashing is just irritating. No, I don't like Pokemon. But I closed your despicable thread.

I like Pokemon because it is fun. Good RPGs, good collecting/trading vibes.
