I don't know about y'all, but I live with a little thing called cuteness aggression.
As a cuteness connoisseur of sorts, one of my favorite imaginary universes to inhabit is the wonderful world of Pokémon.

These Pokémon are the ones you're going to want to squeeze forever.
I mean, who doesn't seem something adorable and become immediately overwhelmed with the desire to yell about it and squeeze the cute thing in question?

The light eyes on this little electric pup win so many fans over.
Marshadow is yet another sweet mythical Pokémon, with a dark side to boot.

Pancham is a fighting type that means business, but who could fight with that face?!
Dratini eventually becomes the sleek Dragonair and the mighty Dragonite. In the meantime, it's an adorable wet dragon noodle.
Togepi is one of the OG cuties. We watched Togepi grow from an egg to a star, and no I'm not crying — you're crying.
Shaymin is like a hedgehog, but instead of spikes, it has leaves and flowers. Pretty delightful trade if you ask me.

Turtwig is another Pokémon that gets points for being part-plant. It's also a sweet little turtle that is clearly very enthusiastic about the drums.

Oshawott is just the cutest little sea otter in the whole world — the end.
