I am surprised the types for rotom didn't change. I didnt get platinum, so I didn't check the forms. I still like him in the standard from. The super meat boy references were awesome. I love that game for pure nostalgia!

It has to be Squirtle, for Squirtle is the cutest of all the Turtle Poke'mon, and Turtles are the cutest things ever!

Jirachi is super cute, especially in the anime! I also really like Jigglypuff and Chansey.

I say Pichu, if you dont why then obviously you are blind. Pikachu is amazingly cute and Pichu being the baby version of it is SO MUCH MORE CUTE. Pichu ftw (:

Raichu is the cutest pokemon because he has some of the great features of Picachu but cuter because of his rounder white belly and covered brown paws.

Without a doubt the adorable moniker must needs be bestowed upon Jigglypuff. Unforgetable the scenes of Jigglypuff's singing, the passion it puts into each performance. He complete and utter surprise on it's cute and pudgey face upon discovering everyone had fallen asleep whilst it sang. And then!! The insulted puffed up balloon makes it's indignant cry "Puff!!!" and the microphone suddenly becomes a marker and the sleeping audience is graffitied with adorable intent. How much more adorable can we stand?

I think my cutest pokemon ever would have to be Dragonite. I always kind of imagine him as many would imagine a cuddly unicorn that's all interesting and magical. I really see him as one of the most originally designed Pokemon in the series

The baby inside Kangaskhan's pouch. I don't know if that counts but that's the cutest pokemon there is.

Riolu, because it's the pup pre-evolution of my all-time favorite Pokemon. And you can't go wrong with puppies. Most people can not because they are just so nauciously irresistable.

Well the cutest pokemon in my opinion is the evolutionary line of togepi togetic and togekiss. Togepi is just so cute in its little egg shell and it always looks so happy and it little stubs for arms and leg make it that much more adorible. and even its pokedex entrys are adorible like its entry from gold which says "The shell seems to be filled with joy. It is said that it will share good luck when treated kindly." And togetic is just like a little ball of sunshine! And last but certenly not least togekiss and just a big puggy ball of asomeness! it is so chunky and cute!! when i see it it makes me happy! thats my answer. CUTENESS! .3.

Eevee. Eevee is like the best puppy you've ever seen, multiplied to the power of kawaii, wrapped in a crepe and smothered with love.

Hmm... Well personally I think Raichu is cuter than Pikachu anyway, plus it's stronger! But my cutest would probably have to be Spheal, because IT'S A BABY SEAL. What's not to love? Plus you can club them to death! Well, okay, fainting...
