I Ranked The 50 Cutest Pokémon While Incessantly Squealing And It Was No Easy Feat
I don't know about y'all, but I live with a little thing called cuteness aggression.
Warner Bros. Animation / Via giphy.com
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?
As a cuteness connoisseur of sorts, one of my favorite imaginary universes to inhabit is the wonderful world of Pokémon.
I decided to rank the cuties of the Pokéverse, and it wasn't easy, but here's what I came up with.
