Everyone thinks this new Pokémon looks just like Donald Trump
Next think you know, this Pokémon might start promising to "Make Kalos great again."
The Pokémon Company released a new, five-minute trailer for upcoming Pokémon Sun and Moon, which revealed more of the new creatures found in this iteration of the game. One is a mongoose Pokémon named Gumshoo, whose slicked-back fur looks strikingly like the hairpiece of a certain presidential nominee.
Twitter took notice.

Gumshoo was part of a yuge (sorry!) info dump about the upcoming Pokémon titles, out Nov. 18 for 3DS. We also saw that Pokémon in the Aloha region come in different styles, depending on which island they are captured. There is also a new battle mechanic, called the Z-Move, an ultra-powerful attack that can be used only once per battle.
Watch the entire trailer below.
As to whether or not Gumshoo's design was intentional, or fans just reading too much into his very strange hair, we may never actually know.
