While the 28-year-old Australian is quite into Pokemon, he might have influenced American wrestler Logan Paul to do the same.

While the 28-year-old Australian tennis player himself is quite excited about the Pokemon Unite team, over the years both of them have turned out to be great companions as they found a common passion. While Kyrgios is quite a fan of Logan Paul, a few months ago, the Australian received a three-word remark from the American wrestler icon over his Pokemon tattoo.

Last year, when Kyrgios surprised his fans with his new tattoo, he posted a video of his entire back covered with different Pokemon, which apparently gave his back a superb look. Along with that, he wrote, “POKÉMON GANG 4 LIFE 👑 HAD TO COOK UP SOMETHING CRAZY!!!! APPRECIATE YOU MY BROTHER @gangatattoo” 

While he received a lot of praise and love from his friends and fans for the amazing Pokemon Choice tattoo. Even Paul was left in amazement and dropped a comment saying, “the boy SNAPPED“. And now that both of them have teamed up for a Pokemon game, it won’t be wrong to say that the love for Pokemon has just risen.
