As you know, Japan is super obsessed with their Pokemon mascots – there are thousands of Pikachu mascots and a few dozen Eevee mascots in Japan that people scream “kawaii!” whenever they see them roaming about.

Some other Pokemon have their own mascots too, but they are rarely brought out so we don’t know they exist. Today one such rare mascot spotted in action at Pokemon Center Hiroshima is none other than Water-type Pokemon Mudkip.

Here it takes a bow. Konnichiwa!

“Hi, I look like I just woke up from my nap”

“Me very happy, me flap my arms”
