    Nope, Pokemon isn't my fave franchise. It wouldn't even make it to the top 10.

    It probably is in my top 3. I'm one of those people who doesn't really keep up with it, but when a main series game comes out I'll always get a copy. Which makes me have a little craze with it, but that usually dies out once I beat the game lololol. I always love it though and I've followed it all these years. I'm just not that die hard for anything.

    I don't know about my favourite. I've never really thought about numbering my top 3. I love them all equally. They include:
    -Pokemon
    -Kingdom Hearts
    -The Sims

    Yeah I'd say it's one of my favourites alongside Sonic the Hedgehog which as of late I'm not too interested in.

    To be honest, Pokemon is low on the favourite franchise list :c I don't have a solid opinion on it simply because I've only played one game, and watched the older anime series. Though I am a fan of the Pokemon themselves.

    It's among my favourites. It's been with me since I was 3 and I don't plan on giving it up anytime soon. Although I have been getting into other franchises, such as Legend of Zelda, Mario, MLP, Homestuck, Adventure Time,etc.

    My favorite gaming franchise, definitely. Has been for eleven years now, and I have no plans to give it up anytime soon.

    Pokémon is definitely my favorite franchise! I couldn't imagine growing up in my house hold back in the day without Pokémon! There was a lot of abuse from my moms ex-husband(not my real dad, he passed away) directed towards my mother and since I was so young I could't stop it so I would hide in my playroom (have since moved and am 20yrs old, no more playroom for me heh) and play my see through purple gameboy color with Pokémon Blue Version and then eventually Pokémon Crystal Version! I honestly believe that if it wasn't for this franchise I wouldn't be around anymore, it was the only thing keeping me sane and it still is to a certain extent but now I have a fiancé, my mom and Pokémon and it is amazing! Wouldn't trade any of those three things for all the money in the world!

    Thanks so much to those who created Pokémon! If it wasn't for you, who knows where I might have been!

    I've been following Pokemon the third longest out of any franchise (DC comics being first and Power Rangers being second, and Pokemon since the Gen 1 games and the original Anime), but as far as my priorities go, I follow a few more franchises closer than I do Pokemon.

    1. DC Comics (and all related properties and media)

    2. Liverpool FC (a football/ soccer team)

    3. A Song of Ice and Fire/ Game of Thrones (a FANTASTIC book series and a FANTASTIC television show based on the aforementioned book series)

    4. Pokemon (Although I enjoy the Batman Arkham series and God of War series a bit more as far as gameplay goes, I feel most relaxed and at home with the Pokemon game franchise)

    5. Kamen Rider/ Super Sentai/ Power Rangers

    When it comes to gaming, probably. Or at least tied with The Sims. To be honest though, I'm a casual gamer, so Pokemon and The Sims series are pretty perfect for me. And actually, lately I haven't even played anything besides these two.

    And besides gaming, I do other Poke-stuff as well; I watch the anime and I sometimes read Adventures and fan comics, and I look up pretty Poke art. And then there's this community of course, though truth be told, it is the only forum where I'm active.

    Well, I wouldn't call myself "devoted," but I've bought almost all the games as well as a few hacks. Sometimes I lose interest, but I hop right back into the games eventually. Pokémon has been there for me since the beginning, and is definitely the best game series I've ever played.

    Totally. The reason is because it's actually my most played game. I could easily play it all day without getting bored. I think it's because where the 3DS is more of a handheld, that I can take it where I go. Honestly, I hardly ever buy any other games for my 3DS that aren't pokemon, aside from getting Disney Magical World anyway.

    It's a three way tie between Final Fantasy, Digimon, and Pokemon. Any time a game for any of the franchises comes out I have to buy it and every day that goes by without me having it the thought of not having it haunts me. Like right now I don't have Digimon Dusk, Pokemon X or Y, or FF VII, so every night I have dreams involving characters from those three games.

    The Pokemon series has many things that I love: the games, the anime, the manga even the cards. However it is not my favorite series of all time. It's in my top 5 it may even be my second favorite but nothing an separate me from my favorite series: The Smash Bros. series. I have grown up with both series being a big part of my life as a video gamer. Both series are very important to me, but the Smash Bros. series beats every other series 100 times over for me.

    All in all - yes, it's my favorite franchise.

    There are a few others that I particularly like(d) - The Elder Scrolls and Grand Theft Auto come to mind first - but Pokemon is notable in that it's the only one in which the games have gotten better with every single new installment. GTA managed to do that through San Andreas, but then it backslid with IV, and TES actually gets WORSE with every new installment.

    Although I wouldn't put any individual Pokemon game at the top of my list, the franchise as a whole is probably still my #1. Off the top of my head, my top 5 franchise list would probably look something like:

    1. Pokemon
    2. Legend of Zelda
    3. Metal Gear
    4. Souls series (Demons' and Dark Souls)
    5. Mass Effect

    The last 3 may change order around a little, but that's more or less it.
