I don't know how popular Rayman is among most Nintendo fans. But, being a Nintendo fan, I had maybe heard of him once or twice before recently (monitoring edits on pages about his games). But I have heard of Shadow since the GameCube version of his first game in 2002.

As for PKMN Trainer (Gen 2) vs. Rayman, while PKMN Trainer (Gen 2)'s game isn't very recent (2009/2010), it is still somewhat recent. The main series PKMN Gen 2 games are generally considered to be some of the best PKMN games, especially above Gen 1, since it included the region for Gen 1 as well as the region for Gen 2. I don;t know if that would put PKMN Trainer (Gen 2) above PKMN Trainer (Gen 6), but I'd say that that makes it above Rayman.
