Both, duh. The video game series easily reaches a much wider audience than the anime, big enough to be the second best selling video game franchise ever and Pokémon GO reaching the most downloaded game in the App Store, but the anime is easily just as massive, enough so that Ash himself is more recognizable than any character in the games, plus the anime heavily influences the games (i.e. changing designs for Pokémon between Red/Blue/Green and Yellow, creating the concept of Pokémon saying their names when they talk, being the reason Pikachu is the mascot of the franchise at all, the theme song being referenced in Donkey Konga and Super Smash Bros as well as Ash being name dropped in Smash Bros, etc.)

Whoo, text wall
