The Pokémon Sun And Moon demo is out now and we've already reported on the fact that data miners have managed to unearth a lot of information from the code which really should have remained secret.
One titbit that was discovered was the Alolan form of the Pokémon Persian, and we've now been given a better look courtesy of Japanese Alola Pokédex guide:
Predictably, some fans aren't happy with this new design, claiming that it makes the monster look disturbingly similar to the cartoon cat Garfield, created by Jim Davis.
In keeping with this theme, it's worth noting that Chicago-based artist Shawn Bowers recently made it his aim to re-imagine all 151 of the original as Garfield. The results are glorious.
What's your opinion of this new look for the Persian? Do you think it's a little too much like the world's most famous lasagna-loving moggie? Let us know by posting a comment.

Garfielf you fat cat
They barely even look the same species, let alone similar!
doesn't look that much like a Garfield to me ahah I like it I wanna see how it looks during a battle first though
That Persian looks ugly. If they are going to make him round, make him all fat, not just his face!
It also looks a lot more like an actual Persian cat than the original Persian.
I dont mind the persian design, It makes the original persian special and still attractive for use. While alolan persian is a nice suprise if you want an dark pokemon but the comprimise is that he is a bit more ugly. Its a nice twist! Same goes for the other Alolan forms of kanto pokemon.
The only designs i dont like are bruxish and drampa, they are so uninspiring that i really wonder how they come up with putting them in this game or calling them pokemon in the first place. Especially Bruxish!!!
@BensonUii I totally forgot about Nermal!
I hope its shiny version is orange.
If Alolan version of Meowth making its looking become Blue color, it will looks like Doraemon with ears. XD
You could just as easily said it looks like Heathcliff as much as it looks like neither.
They look nothing a like.
Not particularly...
But it's so going to be one of my favourite pokemon - along with Alolan Meowth.
I like it! Garfield is one of my favorite cartoon characters, and now I have an excuse to nickname a male Alolan Persian!
I'll also catch a female and nickname her Nermal. X3
what? doesn't look anything like garfield...
"Pikarfield, stop electrocuting me!"
"When you feed me some lasagna, you dork!"
Ugly as hell.
@AlexSora89
I did a google image search with that image you posted, and came across this!

I'll name mine Nermal.
Everyone says Garfield.
I say Heathcliff.
Actually they really don't look anything alike. The cartoon style reminds me more of Riffraff and the Cadillac Cats.
Not really similar IMO. I used to be a Garfield fan ages ago, but he also stopped being funny ages ago.
@GeminiSaint
Which reminds me of the Robot Chicken courtroom skit where... well, it's Robot Chicken. You know things go awry in that show.
They... don't look remotely the same at all.
Haha love this!
I don't see it...
I like how Alolan Exeggcutor occupies the space of two pokemon with it's tall tall head.
I do think they look a little alike, but the parodies popping around are where the true gold lies
I hate Mondays, but I love lasagna.
All I know is that Garfield was hilarious in the 80s and early 90s. Loved him as a kid. I wish Jim Davis had hung it up long ago, or started a new strip once Garfield started wearing thin.
