Inspired with some feature similar to the original works != plagiarism. I swear a shit tons of people just don't understand what's the nature of plagiarism is at all before sprouting nonsense like this.

And no, that grin on a cat face isn't original to Pokemon, Cat Bus from My Neighbour Totoro has it.

Also we're past 1000 pokemon now and a huge number of them are based on actual animals, mythical creatures, pop culture references etc. There are going to be similarities and it's completely unavoidable. You would drive yourself insane trying.
