Gene Simmons\u2019 Pokemon lookalike draws amazing reaction from KISS frontman Alberto Cabello\/Wikimedia CommonsGene Simmons, the lead singer of the rock band Kiss, was surprised to see that a new Pokemon looks just like him. The new black and white Obstagoon found in the upcoming Sword and Shield games has a look that\u2019s strikingly similar to the 69-year-old rockstar, tongue out and all. When the Kiss frontman found out about the Pokemon he didn\u2019t seem that impressed at first. Replying to a tweet that said \u201cAh, finally, the Gene Simmons Pokemon\u2026\u201d, Simmons responded with \u201cwelp\u201d. However, the fan response to the Pokemon were well-received. \u201cIt was made for loving you?\u201d one joked. \u201cCongratulations, Gene! Welcome to the Pokemon world!\u201d another said. While the singer may have originally seemed a bit put off over the new creature, he was actually quite impressed. \u201cPokemon has been a part of our household for decades, ever since our kids first discovered them,\u201d he told Newsweek. Congratulations, Gene! Welcome to the Pokemon world! \u2014 Forever Sleepy (@Origamigryphon) August 8, 2019 \u201cAnd to see Pokemon pay homage to Kiss, is flattering,\u201d he added, putting to rest any suggestions that he disliked the design. Newsweek also reported that Game Freak has not issued an official statement on their inspiration, but it\u2019s tough to not see the comparisons between the two. 600 The Galarian forms of Zigzagoon and its evolutions were revealed in a special trailer on August 7 with all sorts of other region-specific Pokemon. There\u2019s no indication of if Zigzagoon can learn the move \u201cKiss\u201d but we can only hope so. Many were expecting region specific looks after Game Freak made them for the Alolan region. Among the new ones is Galarian Weezing, which for some reason, looks like a bong. Pokemon Sword and Shield are scheduled for release on November 15 on Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
