I mean, if this keeps up, we can see something like THIS:

(The Excitement is Still Strong, Cheezburger)

I know Skylanders has mostly just a kids audience right now, but all we need to do is replace Pokémon with Skylanders, and we're set!

I would find a fire proof shield.

Sure people are hyped about Skylanders, but not as much as Pokemon I can assure you that.

lol not even close

Well, Skylanders is just starting out. Right now, its hype level is as small as Pokémon's hype level was when POKÉMON was starting out.

Skylanders fans don't even post Skylanders stuff everywhere,even outside of their section(the odd Skylanders thread here doesn't count,it's General so it's in theory Spyro anything), to begin with. I think the fandom you're looking for is bronies. Or you're just exaggerating because you hate the series.

Well actually after the first (possible few) hit(s) people wanted more pokemon. Heck Topeka actually renamed their town to "ToPikachu" for one day and that day was when Pokemon first came to the US. don't tell me that Skylanders is now about as hyped as Pokemon, because by default it's not.

Skylanders is the modern day Pokemon, yes. But unlike Pokemon, Skylanders didn't capture a large fanbase outside of the target demographic.

Nor did it have a hit TV show and card game to boot.

And we ALL know the reason why that is:

Well that can be easily over looked. I think it's Skylanders system like release every year (like what pokemon is actually doing right now) and Disney Infinity fans. I'm just guessing here.

Skylanders is hyped, but like everyone else said, it's not even close.
We know the series is just starting to branch off into different directions, but it can't get to Pokémon's level.
I love the game, and I would love to see all the hype, but there isn't that much, unless you're just talking to a group of kindergarteners.

To be honest, I didn't think activision knew that 30 year olds would be buying characters "for their children".

All the guys the work at my local GameStop brag to mothers - with young children - that they own every character.
Sad, sad middle aged men.

Wow. Got this from a hardcore Skylanders fan.

Anyway, I don't know those two Skylanders' intro cutscenes. Believe me, though, if there's ever to be a new Spyro game that features a Skylander, the only legit one that would fit is Flashwing, in my opinion.

oh god, resetti...

You didn't even bat an eye long enough at the series, you're just assuming things like the whole reason for this topic. There are at least 10 dragon-type characters now and probably there are more on the way. Making your entire opinion off something a fan said and a few things you glanced at is foolish to say the least.

Hey! That mole dude with the pick-ax looks like Resetti from Animal Crossing!

Thank ^w^

Like everyone else said, there's no way Skylanders will ever reach the hype that Pokemon has because Skylanders has a large younger audience as opposed to a massive, universal audience that Pokemon has.

Unlike Pokemon, which has been going on for YEARS now, and has numerous spinoffs, in terms of the show, card game, other games, etc, Skylanders is just getting started. The closest Skylanders has gotten to getting into other mediums is some kids novels and a few mobile games. Until Skylanders can find a way to target a much widespread audience, which some other users also mentioned is probably going to take awhile because they can't exactly do that with a concept like this, it will probably be never overhyped.

Skylanders may be the CoD of kids games, but I have yet to see an entry in the series ever get overhyped.
