I have no interest in the mega strong Pokemon, except from the old 'gotta catch 'em all' perspective - they always seem to look a bit angry or disturbing. Generally speaking, the cute Pokemon are rather weak and a bit useless too - for example, my Pachirisu, a kind of electric squirrel dies frequently and doesn't do an awful lot of damage. Hence why I rarely ever beat anyone in battles - except the once when my level 50 Slowbro lamped my brother's level 75 Infernape, which I've never let him forget, every time he makes fun of me for using 'rubbish' Pokemon.
Throughout the games I've found myself relying on pretty much the same tried and tested team, which packs plenty of cuteness, whilst also being able to beat most Pokemon I encounter without dying in one hit. I have a decent mixture of types, to take advantage of Pokemon's rock, paper, scissors strengths and weaknesses system too - my staples tend to be a Vulpix as my fire type, Pikachu as an electric type and an Azumaril as a water type, with Togekiss usually being my flying type. The grass type tends to vary a bit, although I have developed an affinity for Meganium after starting with Chikorita in SoulSilver. The remaining slot in my team is often occupied by a cute psychic type - at the moment, I have the Mew, the cutest Pokemon ever, that I got from the download event a while ago.

My Pokemon team, in their not-really-to-scale-at-all glory
But with Pokemon Black & White I have a problem - none of these Pokemon will be available at the beginning, as only brand-spanking new Pokemon live in the Unova region. So what's a girl to do? Scour the internet and make a new team out of the cutest Pokemon I can find, that's what. So here's my list - as everyone already knows Oshawott is the cutest starter Pokemon, and because everyone already knows what all the starters look like - they're not included.
