I had a arguement with my friend for about an hour now and he says that Mario is more childish than Pokemon, i disagree. I grew out of pokemon a long time ago and if you havn't say either which one you think is "more" childish or if any are childish at all.

Pokemon is much more childish than Mario. Pokemon is only fun if you are about eight. Now Mario is fun no matter how old you are.

Well if you saw them in real life I would be scared shitless by some plumber with a big mustache in suspenders wearing white gloves. Now if I saw a Pokemon I would probably be laughing my ass of at it.

ill agree that the pokemon show is childish but the games arnt really that childish team rocket arnt bad guys who set fruit bowl traps on the ground(jessy and james) there a gang trying to capture rare pokemon and in silver they kill a few slowpoke ( i may be mistaken there) pokemon is a good rpg and mario is a good game but when you really think about it pokemon is about catching monsters trying to stop a evil mob and be better then everyone else . mario is about jumping on mushrooms in the mushrooms kingdom and saveing the princess from a cool looking turtle and thats how i find it more childish ....before the show was even out people didnt even consider the game childish but ever since the show came out everyone did it seems a little biased to me. dont get me wrong i like mario i just think its more childish

Both are childish in their own ways such as in their artstyles, but not childish in a bad way by any means if we're talking about the games.

You guys are idiots if you think something being childish or cute is a bad thing. If you mean childish in a way that means only children should be able to enjoy them because they're so easy and juvenile, then you're wrong because they both offer deep experiences in gameplay about anyone can enjoy.

I guess Mario is more childish though because of the colorful graphics and simple yet engaging gameplay. Pokemon has more to it such as stats to deal with, a real storyline, and the characters aren't quite as cartoony.

I think both of them have their non-childish moments.

Some Pokemon can shoot fire out of their mouths and burn the shit out of shit.
Mario can shoot fireballs out of his ****ing hands.

mario is an epic spanning the galaxy (well... in the next game at least) pokemon is...well... its pokemon.

theres no argument. mario is far more mature than pokemon.

So I guess based on your logic a show like Grey's Anatomy is far more childish than a show like Naruto because it's not quite as "epic".
