Why does everybody seem to think this? Why are Mario, Zelda and Pokémon just intrinsically linked? I guess it's nice symmetry and all but I personally see no real reason why if Pokémon gets 6 reps then Mario will need 6 aswell. When you think about it, the franchise, Pokémon, is a very character heavy one whereas Mario is more about the stroy and just the platforming of it.

Besides Mario had 5 in Melee whereas Pokémon and Zelda had one less each. In my opinion we really shouldn't compare the amount of characters in one series to another. :O
