It's post time! Recently there have been a lot of leaks for the next upcoming mainline Pokemon game, but there's also been a few official teasers, as well. However, I don't think this is enough to keep fans interested. The game is still almost a year away from being released, which is a long time to make people wait. There's also a really good chance we still won't get things we've been asking for for years now, like a new Eevee evolution. So, we have to wait a year for a game that can only be played on one system that most people don't have (the Nintendo Switch 2), and we likely won't get the things we want again anyways. I wouldn't be surprised if this next Pokemon game doesn't do as well as other games. With the long wait time and the unavailability for most people, there's a good chance a lot of people just won't be able to afford to play it; or won't want to play it. Being unable to afford the game or system is fine with Nintendo, since they act like those who can't afford to play their games don't deserve to play them in the first place. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! The blog post for today will be about ghost-type Pokemon and dark-type Pokemon. Both of these Pokemon types are actually pretty popular. Despite this, whenever a new game comes out, there are barely any ghost-type or dark-type Pokemon. I'm sure this is because the Pokemon company doesn't want to make too many creepy Pokemon, but I think they would still be popular if more were released. Even the ghost-type and dark-type Pokemon aren't very scary looking or creepy, so I don't know why there aren't more of them. These are my two favorite Pokemon types, so I'd love to see more of them. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Steam Deck. For those of you who don't know, a Steam Deck is a handheld console that lets you play your computer games on the go. There are a lot of games that are compatible with the Steam Deck, and apparently it's very popular with Nintendo Switch users. Steam Decks come with a lot of storage, most games can be played offline, and a lot of the games on it are cheaper than they are on the Nintendo Switch. There's also a much bigger selection of games. Anything that's on Steam can be put on the Steam Deck, but not all of the games are made for the Steam Deck. Sometimes you do have to map the buttons yourself. The Steam Deck is also a lot more expensive than the Nintendo Switch. However, you can buy a certified refurbished Steam Deck that has been completely cleaned and fixed at a heavily discounted price. There aren't any currently available, but they're worth the wait if you don't want to pay full price. A lot of people think Steam Decks are a lot better than the Nintendo Switch. With the large amount of games, cheaper games, and official refurbished discounted consoles, I can see why so many people prefer it. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I'll be including the link for the official shopping page below. Enjoy!

It's time to post! Recently the Nintendo community has been talking about something Shigeru Miyamoto said. With all of these recent game remakes, fans have been complaining about the lack of original content. However, Shigeru Miyamoto defended these remakes, saying it's fine to make them because everyone stops playing the originals after five years anyways. This is an obvious lie, and it's also a flimsy argument for this topic. These games wouldn't still be popular if everyone stopped playing them within five years. There are a lot of people who still play the originals, and there would be even more people playing them if Nintendo didn't actively sabotage their old systems for money. This is just an excuse to keep making games that already exist to get money from people who have already bought these games before. Obviously Nintendo isn't the only company who does this, but this is the only time I've seen such a weak defense for it. I can see why people are upset about this, especially since it's not a good argument for this situation. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I'll be talking about Animal Crossing New Horizons updates. Although we just got a big new update earlier this year, fans are already asking about what could be coming next. Despite this, there really hasn't been any news about any future updates. Even though fans still have things they want in the game, there hasn't been anything said about potentially adding anything else. We weren't supposed to get another update in the first place, so I don't think it's likely we'll ever get another one. Updates like this are only created and released to keep players interested in the series while they're working on the next game. I'd like to say we'll get another update eventually, but we probably won't. I really hate that they do this with the games, because not everyone can just abandon their current islands and buy the next game because the creators are bored of the current one. Along with this, a lot of players don't want to abandon their current islands. This is why so many people want updates for this game instead of a new game. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Pokemon Mimikyu. Mimikyu is an interesting Pokemon because its real life popularity contradicts its in universe lore. In the Pokemon world, Mimikyu is an unpopular and feared Pokemon who just wants to be loved. But in real life, Pokemon fans love Mimikyu! It's actually one of the most popular Pokemon since it was released. Fans love its cute and creepy design, and because Mimikyu is only wearing a disguise, it's fun and easy for fans to make more disguises for it based on other Pokemon. Mimikyu is one of my personal favorites as well, and it has a lot of merchandise because of how popular it is. I think it's amazing how popular this little Pokemon became even though it's supposed to be "unlovable". But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about origami. Origami is a popular Japanese art, so it's not unusual to see it in anime and manga. Origami is paper folding. It's important to remember it's only considered origami if you fold the paper without using tape, glue, or scissors. You also can't mark the paper. The most common design is the crane, but there are a lot of different designs you can create. You can make simple ones or more complicated ones, as well. Origami takes a lot of patience, and folding the paper has to be done gently to avoid ripping it. Because of this, origami is an art used for learning patience. It's also very meditative, which is part of why it's still so popular even now. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!
