Grookey, Scorbunny and Sobble are the starters for the newly revealed Pokémon Sword And Shield. They look familiar.
Namely, that people think they look like The Powerpuff Girls.
As Twitter user Sazanami Salami points out, Scorbunny looks like Blossom, Sobble look Bubbles and Grookey looks like Buttercup.

Sazanami Salami drew these Powerpuff images for comparison’s sake. Here is how the characters stack up to official art.

How did I miss the announcement of a new Pokemon game? Or is this not legit?

Thanks a bunch, I take one day off work and miss out on this news.
Since they’re not Bulbasaur, I don’t care about their starter forms. I want to see the end evolutions. Then I’ll make a decision.
These similarities are tenuous at best.
