It's the Lunar New Year! This year is the year of the fire horse. This obviously reminds me of the Pokemon Rapidash, which is a fire horse. It may be more of a fire unicorn, since it has a horn. But I think it still counts. I don't know very much about the Lunar New Year, since I don't celebrate it myself. But since all of the villagers in Animal Crossing New Horizons were talking about it today, I decided I'd talk about it too. However, I should also mention that today is the Vocaloid Kaito's birthday too! Which is a fun coincidence. So to help celebrate, here are pictures of Rapidash and Kaito. Happy birthday Kaito! And Happy Lunar New Year everyone!

 Today is Festivale in Animal Crossing New Horizons! This holiday is all about feathers, and dancing. There are five feather colors in total, and these colors are green, red, blue, purple, and rainbow. You can catch these feathers with a net, as well. When you get three of any color, you can take them to Pavé for a Festivale item. However, rainbow feathers are rare, so you only need one of them per item. Every item can come in any of the five colors, and the color you get is based on what color of feathers you give Pavé. You can also trade feathers with the villagers, too. Collecting all of these feathers can get kind of boring, especially since Pavé can give you doubles. But, it's still kind of fun dressing up your character and celebrating the holiday with the villagers. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! In recent years, games where you can build, decorate, or create things have seen a sudden rise in popularity. A lot of them are cute games as well, and they often have a cozy atmosphere. Why is this? Well, it isn't actually just these types of games that are more popular. If you really look at it, it's actually games where you have full control. It's nice to play games freely with no forced stories or mandatory actions. Even games like Genshin Impact have added places where you have full control, like in the Serenitea Pot. It's becoming more and more clear that players just want to play sometimes. I think having this full control over a space helps players feel safe and in control, while still giving them the type of escapism only games can bring. I think this makes sense with how uncertain the world can be, and I also think this means games like this will only increase in popularity over time. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's Valentine's Day! That means love is in the air, even if you're single. So give someone a Valentine, or buy yourself some candy! To help celebrate this year, I'll be including the link for some official Pokemon Valentine cards that were posted on Twitter (X). I'll also be including a picture of Luvdisc, which is a Pokemon that people give to people they love. Along with this, I'll also be including a picture of my (fictional) Valentine this year, Lilia Vanrouge! Enjoy! Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

What is a bad luck Pokemon? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! In the Pokemon world, there are a few Pokemon who are believed to bring good luck. Because of this, there are also Pokemon that are believed to bring bad luck. Despite this, most of the bad luck Pokemon don't even bring bad luck. Instead, they either warn others about it, or they just happen to be there when it happens. Unlike good luck Pokemon that bring good luck, most bad luck Pokemon don't bring any luck. The most well-known example of this is Absol, which was seen as a bad sign for a long time until people realized it was warning others about danger, not causing it. That's all I'll say about it in this post, since it's a simple topic. I just wanted to talk about it because it's Friday the 13th today. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

How do Timmy and Tommy make money in Animal Crossing New Horizons? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! A common question fans have about this game is how Timmy and Tommy make money. They buy your items regardless of the price, so it can feel like they're losing money. However, they do sell things as well. Along with this, I think they sell the things they buy to other people. For example, we know Flick and CJ pay you more for insects and fish than Timmy and Tommy do. Because of this, I think it means Timmy and Tommy sell your things to others like this for a profit, which is why selling your things to Flick or CJ directly gives you more money. This could be a good explanation for this question. Obviously there doesn't need to be a reason because it's just a game, but this could be an in-world explanation for fans who are curious. 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 giving my thoughts on the Pokemon Ditto. Ditto used to be one of my favorite Pokemon. It's a small cute wobbly little slime who doesn't really do very much. What's not to like? But as time went on, it became more and more difficult to like Ditto. Not because of the Pokemon, but because of how it's portrayed. For those of you who don't know, this Pokemon can usually transform perfectly. It's hard to tell a Ditto from whatever it's copying. This has always been the case. Until the Pokemon anime, which included a Ditto who couldn't fully transform. It could never get the faces right. This wasn't normal for Dittos, it was just this one. But now all Dittos are shown this way. Not only does it look creepy, but it's also just wrong. It ruined the uniqueness of that Ditto. Now it isn't special anymore, it's just a Ditto. This has always bothered me. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I know this won't change, but I wanted to talk about it anyways. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
