Why is Pokemon popular? It's just a game about this kid who goes around catching weird monsters in balls.

Nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan nyan!

It's obvious: Hypnotism.

It's not just '' an obnoxious cat with a strawberry poptart body that flies, and sings "Nyan nyan nyan nyan" forever.''

IT'S A SPACE CAT IN A POPTART SHITTING RAINBOWS. THERE'S YOUR EXPLANATION.

Actually, Nyan Cat doesn't fly, the universe revolves around him, but that's a story for another day.

It's odd why the cat thing got more popular than the original thing though.

I guess the internet is obsessed with cats.

^ What they said.

Nyan Nyan Nyan Nyan Nyan. . . Nyan

For those of you looking for a serious answer...

The Nyan Cat got memetically popular for a very similar reason why most memes are popular: because a lot of people find it funny to bug others with it.
