Doom, Mario, Pac-Man level up to video gaming's Hall of Fame

They are saying Pokemon had a lack of impact on culture? It had way more impact then Doom

Um... nope. Pokemon is currently known more because there are still Pokemon games being cranked out, while Doom has mostly kept to a specific generation of gamers (though that might change now that id is cranking out a new DOOM). The squeaky kids playing "Call of Halo" games weren't even born when DOOM came out, of course they don't know about it, but will know about Pokemon because again, there are still Pokemon games being released.

And it still wouldn't make it as there are far more popular games still on the waiting list, like Sonic, Space Invaders, even Zelda. Sure, I'd expect other games as Lemmings, but maybe those weren't that known as I think they were.
