Do we wanna do #6-9 breakdown? My thinking was that Pokemon is the most popular of the bunch, Chrono Trigger the most acclaimed, all four games have quite a bit of influence, that's why I went with my order.

My thinking is
Popularity:
Pokemon >> StarCraft/Half-Life >> Chrono Trigger
Acclaim:
Chrono Trigger > Half-Life > StarCraft >> Pokemon
Influence:
IMO StarCraft is the most influential game here (not by much but for imo it definitely wins), the others seem pretty close.

so for influence
Starcraft > CT/HF/Pokemon

This really isn't very conclusive at all.

Ok, I am not terribly opposed to your order but let's wait for others' takes. Other match-ups include Soulcalibur v Quake,
Curse of Monkey Island/Duke Nukem/FF Vlll/Age of Empires ll.

Soulcalibur and Quake are close. Soulcalibur seems like more of a gamechanger though they are fairly close in terms of influence.. Acclaim is close. Popularity goes to Quake. Probably leaning with your order actually.
