yeah people barely even recognize that yellow thing compared to generic japanese magic karate man.

Influence and recognition aren't the same thing, plus a lot of Pikachu's recognition comes from the anime rather than the games. Like somebody else suggested, a Pokeball might be a better representation than Pikachu even if he's the mascot (since he plays relatively minor roles in most of the games, if he's there at all). And at least Japanese karate man has consistently featured in his franchise's box art and featured prominently in the games themselves.
