Speaking for myself, the existence of Pokemon is not directly a problem. But Wikipedia would certainly be better off if somehow all the effort that was expended on Pokemon articles was somehow invested in other ways.
However, the people putting in this effort are unpaid volunteers, who are able to work on what they choose to work on rather than there being any mechanism by which they can be ordered around. This will naturally produce an imbalance in the direction of whatever they happen to want to work on, which might be Pokemon.
