It's time to post! Even though the newest Pokemon starters were released a while ago now, they still aren't available in the official Pokedex on the Pokemon website. Instead, they're on the Winds And Waves website. This is to encourage fans to go read about the upcoming games instead. However, not many fans know about this official website. They do this with every upcoming mainline game, so it isn't very surprising. But I think it should be more obvious for fans who want to keep up with Pokemon game news. The Winds And Waves website is very professional and looks nice, but that doesn't really matter if no one can find it. It matters even less if no one knows it exists. So for fans who are having trouble finding information about the games and the new starters, I'll be including the link for the official Winds And Waves website below. Enjoy!

It's post time! Recently Disney created and released new light up bracelets called Illuminis. Normally I wouldn't talk about this, but they remind me a lot of Tsum Tsums. There's currently three designs, featuring Stitch, Mickey Mouse, and Baymax. They released them in their parks first, but they are available on their official website now too. They're $20 each, and they're designed to look like a cute little Disney character is laying on your wrist. The character can also be removed and carried by itself, as well. Along with this, they're battery powered. They're supposed to make it easier to keep track of your children. However, I think it would also be cute for adults. The bracelet is adjustable, and they're listed under the adults section on the official website. According to the website, the wrist strap is also made to fit adult wrists. I wanted to talk about these because I think they're very cute, and I think they would be popular with Disney anime fans. As always, I will be including a picture of the Mickey Mouse one below so you all can see what they look like. Enjoy!

New day, new post! One of the biggest problems with Animal Crossing is the lack of individuality. This goes for both the villagers and the players. The villagers all share the same personalities, and there are barely any customization options for the players. It gets frustrating over time because you can't fix it yourself. So you just have to live with the fact that all villagers are the same, and you can't customize your character. The lack of customization options is what caused the whole catastrophe that was someone calling afro puffs space buns. They didn't even add space buns after that happened! Players wanted a specific hairstyle and they didn't give it to them even when it caused problems! Fans keep saying "maybe the next installment will be better". But honestly, why should we support a company that has shown time and time again that they don't care about us? Given how things have been going, things won't be getting any better. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! When it comes to cute anime characters, it's easy to tell when they're trying to make a character look cute and innocent. You can tell by their hair, clothes, shoes, and accessories. But did you know they also use food to make a character look cuter? Characters who are supposed to be seen as cute will often be seen eating foods that add to their cuteness. Foods like cakes, strawberries, candies, pastries, pocky, and even mochi are often used for this. They also use drinks like brightly colored sodas, strawberry or chocolate milk, and juice. It just goes to show how much thought and effort goes into making a character appear a certain way. For example, a cute character will eat something like cake, and a lazy character would eat potato chips. It's a visual way for people to tell what someone is like. People subconsciously look at a cute character eating cake and think "cake is soft and sweet, so that character is too". Just like how they look at a lazy character eating potato chips and think "potato chips are casual and unhealthy, so that character is too". I wanted to talk about this because I think it's really cool how creators use things like this to make people see things a specific way. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's time for another new blog post! I was just reading an article about the new upcoming Shadow merchandise for Sonic's 35th anniversary. The merchandise shows Shadow wearing headphones, which would normally be very cool. However, the headphones aren't on his ears. This is common in both anime and cartoons. It's difficult to imagine what headphones for characters with animal ears would be like. But in this case, the majority of characters in the Sonic series are animals. Because of this, it feels strange for them to be wearing human headphones that clearly wouldn't even work for them. This would've been a good time to introduce special headphones for the Sonic characters, instead of having Shadow wear headphones for humans. Since Sonic characters are half the size of humans, it makes a lot less sense for them to wear headphones like this. There are some characters that would have ears on the side of their heads, but most of them have ears on top of their heads. It would've been interesting to see specially made headphones for these characters, but they didn't do that. I just wanted to talk about this because I thought it was strange. The merchandise still looks nice though. As always, I'll be including a picture of this new merchandise below so you all can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

Why is it important for games to have ways to buy more than one item at a time? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! In videogames, it's normal and expected to be able to choose how many things you buy in a game. Nobody ever really even thinks about it, which is why it was so surprising when Animal Crossing didn't have this. I'm not going to talk about that again, because everyone already knows that's a bad thing. But why is it bad? Well, playing games is supposed to be fun. But shopping is boring. So if you have to buy things one at a time, you're not going to want to buy anything anymore. It'll make the game boring, and eventually people will lose interest. And if nobody wants to play, then there won't be any customers. No customers means no money, and no money means no new games. So leaving out one important feature can end up having a lot of bad side effects. Especially since in the age of the internet, people can review games before they buy them so they don't have to waste their time with it. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! There's one main problem with the official Pokedex on the Pokemon website. This problem is, it isn't updated enough. Whenever a new Pokemon is released, the official website doesn't add information for the Pokemon for months. This makes it difficult for fans to keep up with recent releases. Other fans have to do the work themselves to keep people updated with new Pokemon releases. This is pretty lazy, it shouldn't take too much work to add a few Pokemon to the official website. Even if they release the full updated Pokedex, they don't have to do it all at once. A few Pokemon a week should be more than enough to keep people interested. Not only this, but the last time they updated the official Pokedex, several entries were glitched. I know they wait to add Pokemon to encourage fans to play the next game, but wouldn't it encourage fans more if they could see the Pokemon properly first? I just think the way they run the official Pokedex on the website is lazy at best, and it frustrates fans who want to keep up with new Pokemon releases. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
