>>32884768Well Japan has qualified for two cups in a row both in 2010 and 2014, I hope they do it this year too. Just to rub it in the shitters' faces. They need to realize that just because Pokemon isn't in the roster doesn't mean that it's a dead franchise. For all we know, they could be making an appearance with the life-sized moving Gundam in the opening ceremony. I can forsee a Pikachu march of epic proportions going on.
Mario showing up at Brazil could be a good indicator of Pokemon's inclusion in the actual event.
