With hundreds of creatures in the Pokedex, it’s no surprise that fans spot random things in real life that bear a resemblance to one creature fromPokemonor another. This can happen even when the Pokemon isn’t intentionally a fictional take on a real-world animal, like Pidgey or Rattata.
One fan ofPokemonwas surprised when they entered a bus only to find what looked like a bunch of faces looking back at them. After sharing it with fellow fans on the internet, it seems that many are in agreement that these seats look remarkably like the Pokemon Diglett.

Diglett is, of course, a subterranean Pokemon that’s been around since Generation 1 of the games. The creature readily tunnels underground and is usually depicted as only partially peeking out from under the earth. While itsAlolan Diglettcounterpart and evolution has whiskers or hair coming out of its head, the traditional Diglett just has a rounded brown body, making it match the general shape of a bus seat pretty well.
The resemblance to the bus seats seen in the shared photo is quite surprising. The seats are a similar shade of brown toDiglett, and have a small pink cushion attached for a neckrest, around where Diglett’s nose should be. That might be enough on its own to notice a similarity, but the thin black straps above the pillow stand in for Diglett’s eyes, really completing the picture.
These seats don’t have any official connection toPokemonand are extremely unlikely to be purposefully based off the appearance of Diglett. Even so, it’s hard to unsee the resemblance once it’s been spotted. Diglett and Dugtrio’s simplistic appearance makes it easier to find similarities between them and real-world objects, but there are also plenty ofPokemon that have been intentionally based off of real-world creatures, too.
