Goku vs Superman was more comics vs manga, and even then, while Goku was indeed focused more on his anime, Superman was represented more in terms of his movies than cartoons.

Also, the Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh animes are just as known as the games, lmao. First off, when the Pokemon anime first began airing, people were upset when they went to play the games afterwards because the designs of some of the Pokemon in the anime had been changed from the games, so Nintendo made a Yellow version with the Pokemon changed to how they looked in the anime, and they've stayed that way ever since. Also, the whole concept of Pokemon saying their names comes from the show, and was adapted into many Pokemon games as well as the Smash Bros. series. Also, Donkey Konga features the original Pokemon Theme Song as a playable song, and the Pokemon Trainer trophy in Super Smash Bros. 4 lists Ash as well as specifically a number of people he'd traveled with in the description along with quoting the original theme song. Also, the anime is the whole reason Pikachu is the mascot of the entire Pokemon franchise and has gotten a number of games to himself. And the Yu-Gi-Oh manga/anime made the card games, no to mention the fact that Yugi's name is in the goddamn title.

whoops, sorry for rant

And if you're going to leave out Ash and Yugi because their animes aren't as known, you're missing the fact that Goku was already used anyways. And Ash is a better representative than any of the guys you listed anyways considering he's an anime-originated character while the rest all started as manga.
