The blog post for today will be about Alolan Pokemon from the show Pokemon. Most of the Pokemon found in Alola are very different compared to the normal Pokemon found in almost all of the other parts of the world. This is because they experience a regional difference, causing them to adapt to their surroundings. This adaptation can cause the Pokemon to change their appearance, moves, and some times even their type. This change is usually referred to as the "Alola Form" of a Pokemon. A couple of examples of this are the very tall Alolan Exeguttor compared to the normal Exeggutor, and the white Alolan Vulpix compared to the normal Vulpix, as seen in the pictures below.

Today's blog post is about rivals from Pokemon. What are rivals? Well, the rivals in Pokemon are usually just in the games, but some of them are also in the Animes. Rivals are characters who are either a childhood friend of the main character, or sometimes a bully towards the main character. The rivals help the character grow stronger by battling them, and they offer motivation because the main character wants to beat their rival in a Pokemon battle. The first rival was Blue in Generation 1. Blue also made it into the Anime, but his name was Gary Oak instead. There are also many other rivals within the different Pokemon games and Animes, as well.

Since yesterday's blog post was about what a tsundere was, I figured I would bring you another type of dere. So, today's blog post is about yanderes. A yandere is a popular type of character in the Anime and manga community. The term yandere describes a character who is usually nice at first, but then they become extremely obsessed with their crush. They become so obsessed with their crush that they feel like they have to get rid of anyone who comes in between them and their crush. They often go to extreme measures as well, usually killing anyone who gets in between them and their crush. Most of the time yanderes are portrayed as female characters, but they're not always females.

Generally speaking, a tsundere is usually a character who acts cold or maybe even mean towards a person they have a crush on. They usually try to act like they don't like their crush as well. Later on in the series, they often open up to the person they like, letting them know that they actually do like them. Tsunderes are also often associated with the word "baka" (or idiot), since a lot of tsundere type characters are known for calling their crush a baka.
