The Pokemon Company and official Japanese football team sponsor Adidas have announced that Pikachu will be the official mascot for the Japanese football team for this summer's 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
Pikachu will not be alone in his mascot duties. Pikachu will be joined by Meowth, Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle, along with Pokemon X and Y newcomers Chespin, Froakie, Fennekin, Pancham, Helioptile, and Litleo.
The 2014 World Cup begins on June 12. Japan's opponents include Ivory Coast, Greece, and Colombia.

Cool! But in my opinion, the pic of all the Pokemon as players huddled in a circle should have had Wobbuffet in it. I mean it's a PERFECT goalie.

Helga: Gee. I don't know. When you really think about it, is there any sewer bigger than the world of professional modelling?

Someone has gone further and chosen Pokemon mascots for several other countries!
Someone please tell them that Lunatone is more crescent-shaped than Metapod.
