Tokyo 2020 Olympics mascots look like Pokémon

The Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games recently revealed the official mascots for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. A significant number of Pokémon fans are saying that the new mascots look a lot like Pokémon, with their adorable and colorful animal-like designs.

Japan left the final vote for #Tokyo2020 Olympic mascots to elementary school students. The result? Two adorable, strangely pokemon/neopets-like space alien friend things. Names TBD. https://t.co/PtJA2bh3vv pic.twitter.com/OUdiVXPHeD
