Horsea is one of the original 151 Pokemon. Seahorses are pretty cute creatures in the real world, so it is only natural that Horsea is cute as well. The way it blows bubbles out of its nose and dances as it swims makes Horsea one of the cutest Water-types around.

#4 - Marill

Marill came in Generation II and is known as the Aqua Mouse Pokemon. A lot of people assumed it was a blue version of Pikachu when its design was first revealed. Pikachu is super popular and pretty darn cute in itself. That may be why so many feel Marill is cute, as it resembles Pikachu quite a bit.

Squirtle, the Tiny Turtle Pokemon, is the cutest Water-type there is. It started the trend of cute Pokemon, along with Charizard, Bulbasaur, and Pikachu. The starters of Kanto are small and cute, but become massive juggernauts. Without Squirtle, many of these other cute Water-types would have no inspiration.
