It may not be as advertised or hyped like it used to be back in 98' and 99', but Pokemon is still a huge cash cow for Nintendo. If you go to almost any general gaming site (GameFAQs etc) it's one of the few Nintendo franchises that gets into the top 10 list for newly released games. I myself know several furry friends that plan on getting one or both of the X and Y games that are coming out. On the other hand, I dont know anyone that still watches the anime except maybe the first few seasons for nostalgic purposes.
