Pokemon is still remembered by most guys in my engineering course, an a couple of em of em have even been known to sit up back with their DS or gameboy on occasion. While it may not bode well for anyone hoping to get safely over a bridge built by these guys after they graduate, it does show that the full on assault-on-3-fronts of video games, anime series and trading cards that happened a few years back has definately instilled pokemon in the public consciousness to the point that even grandad knows who pikachu is.
Pokemon's continued success has not happened by accident. It is a good game well marketed and keeping the game primarily on a portable platform seems to have contributed greatly to its success. Though in saying that i have heard people i know call for a Zelda type 3d pokemon world. How sane they are to ask for such a thing is a question that remains unanswered.
