By now you've probably seen your fill of cute Pikachu and Eevee mascots.

Here is the much circulated video of the two engaging in friendly competition.

Here's a recent performance at Jewel.

But unpopular opinion, this new Lapras is cuter than either of them.

New mascot for Miyagi

According to Nintendo Soup the Pokemon company and Miyagi prefecture kicked off their tourism campaign by making lapras the official Pokemon ambassador for the Miyagi prefecture.

Here is how the new mascot looks like.

That head tilt though.

If you're not convinced that this might be the cutest thing you will see for the foreseeable future.

Here is Lapras waddling.

In case you can't see it.

Unconvinced? Here it is bowing to spectators.

The samurai beside Lapras is the Miyagi Prefecture mascot, Musubimaru.

Are you not entertained?

Now, this is possibly good news for us, because Lapras is one of the official mascots for the Singapore Pokemon Center.

Fingers crossed.
