As you guys may know, Kamui Gakupo is one of my favorite Vocaloids. But, he's also a very popular Vocaloid. So, why hasn't he appeared in any Project Diva games? Even though he's distributed by Internet Co., Ltd. and not Crypton Future Media, the Vocaloid Gumi has appeared in Hatsune Miku And Future Stars: Project Mirai before. Along with this, Gumi is made by the same company as Gakupo. But, the Utauloid Kasane Teto can also be added to the Project Diva games as well. So, why hasn't Gakupo appeared in any? Although some people say the chibi version of Gumi belongs to someone else, her voice is still used in the game. But, it could also be because Project Mirai was not a part of the Project Diva series of games. Because of this, it's hard to say if she would appear in any of the actual Project Diva games. Gumi is also a bit more popular as well, so she would be a bit more recognizable. However, Gakupo is still quite popular, so either one would've been a good choice. But if either Gumi or Gakupo were to actually appear in any of the main Project Diva games, there would have to be an agreement made between the two main companies. They probably wouldn't appear in more than one game, either. Nonetheless, a lot of fans (including myself) would love to see Gakupo appear in one of the Project Diva games. I hope this could eventually happen some time in the future! But until then, we'll just have to make do with what we have!

For today's blog post, I will be talking about a Mystic Messenger anime. As of right now, there hasn't been any announcements regarding an anime series for Mystic Messenger. But, I have seen many fans saying they would like to see an anime for it. So, I decided to give my thoughts on this topic. First of all, would a Mystic Messenger anime even work? With its mostly chatroom-based and call-based storylines, it's hard to say if an anime would even work with this game. Especially since a lot of the events depend on the MC's input. If it was an anime instead, a different storyline would have to be made for each individual ending. This may be a bit too hard to make though. Even if a different set of episodes were made for each character, that is still way too many to work with. As of right now, there are routes for Jaehee, Jumin, Yoosung, Zen, 707, and the two new routes for V and Unknown. The other option for a Mystic Messenger anime is using only the characters from the game without the inclusion of the MC. Although some people might like this idea, other people might be upset over this type of anime. So after going over some of the options for a possible anime for it, I personally think that Mystic Messenger is better left as a game. At least for right now it is. But, these are mostly just my opinions on it. So, don't take it too personally! I hope you guys still enjoy this post though!

The blog post for today will be about the ahoge that appears in anime and manga. So, what is an ahoge? Well, the term ahoge literally means foolish hair. It appears quite frequently in anime and manga too. It's actually the little piece of hair or the cowlick that sticks up on an anime or manga character's head. Some characters do it on purpose, but the hair usually sticks up on their head naturally. Quite a few characters have one as well. This little hair is so well-known that it's actually available as an accessory in the Project Diva games for the Vocaloids as well! But, that's pretty much all an ahoge is. As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of an anime character with an ahoge below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

For today's blog post, I will be talking about Echo Girl from Mystic Messenger. But, I would like to mention that there will be spoilers for the game in this post. So, proceed with caution! Now then, on with the post! First of all, Echo Girl's real name is Kyungju Choi. But, she doesn't like to be called this. She's also a minor character who appeared as an antagonist in Zen's route. She seems to be very spoiled as well, since she thinks she can get anything she wants. She seems to be an attention seeker too. This can be seen when she spreads false accusations of Zen after he rejected her. Despite this, she is shown to be a very big fan of Zen. She is also a rather popular celebrity, since Yoosung said her photo books always sell out and any song she releases hits number one on the charts. She even modeled for one of C&R's branch companies for their heart shaped vitamin pills once. But, her actions during Zen's route made her a widely disliked character in the fandom. But as a bonus, I will be including a picture of her below so you guys can see what she looks like for yourselves. Enjoy!

The blog post for today will be about the triangular cloth headbands that sometimes appear in Anime and manga. The best example of this headband appearing in an Anime or manga is Blood Lad, where Fuyumi wears one ever since the beginning of the series. So, what is that thing? There are many different names for it, but there isn't one specific name that is usually used for it. It also used to be one of the traditional Japanese burial garments as well. But, no one is quite sure why it was used. In Anime and manga, this headband is usually worn by ghosts or any characters associated with death. This is why it sometimes appears in Anime and manga as either part of a costume, or as a symbol of the character being a ghost or other creature associated with death. This is the reason why Fuyumi wears one in Blood Lad, since she is a ghost. Other than this, I couldn't find very much more information on this cloth headband. But as a bonus, I will be including a picture of Fuyumi from Blood Lad below. Enjoy!

Before I say what today's blog post is about, I would like to mention that there will be some spoilers for Naruto Shippuden in this post. So, proceed with caution! I would have just started out with a question like I did in some of my other posts, but the question itself is also a spoiler. So I put the spoiler warning first instead. Now then, on with the post! So, why did Deidara kill himself during his fight with Sasuke? Although he obviously blew himself up to take Sasuke down with him, why did he go to such extreme lengths? He was obviously quite intelligent, since he would often use different strategies while he was battling. During his battle with Sasuke, he could have easily escaped and tried to hunt him down later. But, he decided to take drastic measures to take Sasuke down instead. But why did he do this? I believe he did this because he was taking out his frustrations towards Itachi on Sasuke, since they're both Uchihas. He also thought he was losing, and Deidara refused to lose to another Uchiha. This motivation ended up clouding Deidara's thoughts. So, he decided to make sure he wouldn't lose by making the biggest explosion he could. But, this explosion was more like a self-destruct tactic, so it killed Deidara as well. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on it anyways. I hope you guys still enjoy this post though!

Would Naruto still be a jinchuriki if his parents were still alive? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! But before I continue, there will be some spoilers for the series in this post. So, proceed with caution! Now then, on with the post! In the original Naruto series, it was stated that Naruto is a jinchuriki. Because of this, a lot of the people in the Hidden Leaf Village didn't trust him. He was often judged because of it as well, and the simple fact that he was a jinchuriki made his life very hard. But, it was later revealed that Naruto's mother, Kushina, was originally the nine-tails jinchuriki before it was sealed in Naruto. Therefor, Naruto wouldn't have been a jinchuriki if his parents were still alive. Instead, Naruto's mother would still be the nine-tails jinchuriki. However, it's hard to say what Naruto would be like if this actually did happen. He would most likely have had a much better life, but he would most likely still be quite rebellious. But, it's hard to say what he would actually be like if he wasn't a jinchuriki and if his parents were still alive, since he unfortunately didn't have that life. This is mostly just my thoughts on it though. But, I hope you guys still enjoy this post!

Why is Yoosung so attached to Rika? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post. But before I start talking about that, there will be some spoilers in this post. So, proceed with caution! Now then, on with the post! In the beginning of the game, the MC is told that Rika, the leader of the RFA, had taken her own life a year and a half before the events of the game take place. As the game progresses, it becomes apparent that this event hit Yoosung the hardest. This can be seen with how often Yoosung compares the player to Rika, and the fact that Yoosung dyed his hair blonde like Rika's. Although it seems like that is his natural hair color at first, the player can obtain quite a few pictures that show Yoosung with his natural brown hair. But, why is he this attached to Rika? Even though they're cousins, Yoosung said that he didn't even really talk to her until he got older. But after he started spending more time with her, Yoosung began to greatly admire her. He even began idolizing her, and he thought of her as a "magician" who could bring happiness to anyone she met. She even had a great influence on his life, as she's the reason he applied for SKY University and joined the RFA. She's also partly the reason for Yoosung wanting to become a vet. Because of all of this, I think Yoosung was so attached to her because of how much she meant to him. She played a large role in his life after they met, and he eventually began idolizing her because of all of her kind actions. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it did eventually lead to Yoosung comparing the MC to Rika a lot. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on it anyways, so don't take it too personally! As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of Yoosung with his natural brown hair color below. Enjoy!

Why aren't some fan-made Vocaloids as popular as the others? After I started reading about fan-made Vocaloids, I found a couple that I really liked. But then I found out later they didn't have very many songs because they weren't very popular. So, why is this? Well, I think it partly has to do with publicity. The more popular fan-made Vocaloids are generally more well-known, and they are talked about more often. Because of this, there are a lot of people who know about them. Even if there are some people who dislike them, there are still a lot of people who support them. Another attributing factor to a fan-made Vocaloid's failure is their creator giving up on them. I have found quite a few fan-made Vocaloids now that had great potential but were forgotten because no more content was made for them. Although other people could pick up the fan-made Vocaloid themself, the chance of this happening is lessened greatly if they were forgotten early on. The creator may get upset if someone continues their work as well. I honestly think it's rather unfair if a fan-made Vocaloid is forgotten or given up on because it lowers the chance of someone possibly finding their new favorite fan-made Vocaloid. There are a couple fan-made Vocaloids in particular that I really like that have been forgotten or given up on. Although there are a lot more than just two that have suffered this fate, I will be including a couple of links to a song sung by Hairaito Shion and a song sung by Seito Shion below, since these two are a couple of my favorite ones that have been forgotten. Enjoy!

For today's blog post, I will be talking about why Jumin likes Elizabeth The 3rd so much in Mystic Messenger. There will be some spoilers in this post though, so proceed with caution! Now then, on with the post! While playing through Mystic Messenger, it becomes quite obvious that Jumin thinks very highly of his cat Elizabeth The 3rd. He talks about her a lot, and he even gets upset when Seven shortens her name to Elly. But, this behavior is more or less normal when it comes to pet owners. However, as the game goes on, Jumin's love for Elizabeth starts to seem more like an obsession. He talks about her a bit too much, and he often uses his money to make cat-related business projects. Along with this, he usually wants Elizabeth The 3rd to be the model for the cat projects. He also disregards Zen's cat allergy so he can talk about Elizabeth The 3rd more, and he even brought Elizabeth The 3rd to one of the RFA parties. But, why does Jumin like Elizabeth The 3rd so much? Well, it most likely stems from his past. Since his father often has a new gold-digging girlfriend every time Jumin sees him, Jumin didn't want any relationships himself. Because of this, Jumin began relying on Elizabeth The 3rd more and more for companionship. It's also partly because he believes Elizabeth The 3rd won't leave him. In Jumin's route, he starts paying less attention to Elizabeth The 3rd, and more attention to the MC. So, I think he was more or less using Elizabeth The 3rd as an emotional crutch instead of just a pet. But, most of this is just my opinion on it anyways, so don't take it personally! I hope you guys still enjoy this post though!

Since I haven't mentioned any Utauloids on here in a while, I decided to make a list of five songs sung by Matsudappoiyo, along with their links. I chose Matsudappoiyo because he's still a popular Utauloid, despite being discontinued a few years ago. It's also partly because he's one of my favorite Utauloids as well. Now then, on with the list!

1.) Love Is War (mwk remix)

The blog post for today will be about the Vocaloid Miriam. Miriam is an English speaking Vocaloid, and she was distributed by Zero-G Limited. Her birthday is also on July 1st. Other than this, not very much is known about Miriam. She doesn't even have an official design. But, her creator did mention the possibility of a redesign for Miriam, Leon, and Lola. It's currently hard to say if this will actually happen though. Unfortunately, Miriam isn't a very popular Vocaloid. Because of this, she is only available as a Vocaloid1. Both Leon and Lola were also not very popular Vocaloids either. I personally think this is unfair, since I think all three of them have very nice voices. I also think this is pretty surprising, since Vocaloids do have a rather large English speaking fan base. However, Miriam does seem to still have a decent amount of songs available. So, I will be including a link to a song sung by Miriam below so you guys can hear what she sounds like. Enjoy!

Today's blog post will be about Rhyhorn from Pokémon. Rhyhorn is a ground/rock type Pokémon, and it is the pre-evolution of both Rhydon and Rhyperior. This Pokémon is known to be very strong, but also very dumb. In fact, both of these statements appear multiple times throughout Rhyhorn's Pokedex entries. It can only run in a straight line as well, since it's four short legs makes it hard for it to turn. Rhyhorn also has enough strength to topple a skyscraper. Despite this, it can't be used for work. This is because of Rhyhorn's lack of intelligence. Apparently its small brain also gives it a bad memory, since it can't remember why it is running after it starts. However, some of this is contradicted in the Pokémon XY Anime. It is shown in the Anime that this Pokémon is used for Rhyhorn races. Although that doesn't necessarily mean it has a good memory, it does show Rhyhorn turning while running and listening to orders. Serena was actually shown to be training for Rhyhorn races with one when she was younger as well. It's hard to say why these facts were disregarded in the XY Anime though. As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of a Rhyhorn race down below. Enjoy!

For today's blog post, I will be talking about LOLOL from Mystic Messenger. Although LOLOL doesn't play a very big role in Mystic Messenger, it is still mentioned quite frequently throughout the game. This is because LOLOL is Yoosung's favorite game. The name stands for League Of Loneliness Of Life. Its name is actually a parody of the real game League Of Legends, which is abbreviated as LOL. LOLOL is also an MMORPG. Since LOLOL is Yoosung's favorite game, he mentions it quite a bit. He also plays it a lot as well. However, he's not the only one in the RFA who plays it. Seven will occasionally play it too under the name Hacker God. But, he says he gets bored with it easily. On the other hand, Yoosung spends almost all of his free time playing LOLOL. Yoosung's guild in particular is named Blood Dragon. This name was actually suggested by the MC in one of the emails sent to Yoosung's guild leader. As you guys may have noticed, there aren't very many details about the actual game in this post. This is because despite LOLOL being mentioned multiple times throughout Mystic Messenger, not very many details about it are given. However, I will be including a picture of Yoosung's LOLOL avatar down below. Enjoy!

Although Pokémon Sun And Moon is currently the newest Anime series in the franchise, the art style used in it was not very well received when it was initially released. But why is this? Well, I personally believe it was because this art style is very different from the original one. Along with this, the original art style for the Pokémon Anime was used for a very long time. So, fans were surprised by this sudden unexpected change. I myself was also caught off-guard by the art style used in Pokémon Sun And Moon. Although I don't mind it as much now, I personally did not like the new art style used for it. Unlike it's normal appearance, Pokémon Sun And Moon had a goofier and more cartoon-like feel to it. But, it seems like this art style was temporary, since the newest Pokémon movie, I Choose You, presented yet another new art style. It's hard to say if either of these art styles will be used in the upcoming Pokémon movie though, since there currently isn't very much known about it. But, this is mostly just my opinion on it anyways. I will be including two pictures down below to show the art styles used in Sun And Moon and I Choose You below as well. Enjoy!

The blog post for today will actually be a Mother's Day post. I didn't remember it was Mother's Day yesterday until after I finished my blog post. So, I'm doing it today instead. Happy (late) Mother's Day though! Now then, on with the post!  Since I don't know about any Mother's Day Anime specials, I will be including three Mother's Day Anime pictures down below instead. I will also be including a link to a Mother's Day Crunchyroll article as well. Enjoy!

Before I talk about today's blog post, I would like to mention why I did my blog post about bungeoppang and taiyaki yesterday. It's actually because bungeoppang is mentioned a few times in Mystic Messenger, and taiyaki has been mentioned in a few different Anime series I've seen. So, I thought it would be a good idea to mention them on here. Now that that's out of the way, on with today's post! Today's blog post will be about Plusle and Minun from Pokémon. These two cute little Pokémon are very similar. So, I decided to put them both in one post. Plusle and Minun are both electric-type Pokémon, and they are known as the cheering Pokémon. Both of these Pokémon act as cheerleaders for their partners. Although both of them seem to be able to make pom-poms out of their sparks, Minun usually seems to give off sparks while it's cheering instead. Both Plusle and Minun can also short their bodies out. But although Minun usually does it to create more sparks, Plusle usually does it to make crackling noises. Plusle can also let off sparks while it is cheering, but it will cry loudly if its partner loses. However, if a Minun sees its partner in trouble, it will let off more and more sparks. There are many more things I could add about these two Pokémon, but I don't want to make this post too long. So, I'll end it here. As a bonus, I will include a picture of Plusle and Minun below. Enjoy!

For today's blog post, I will be talking about bungeoppang and taiyaki. Although these two foods are quite similar, they're also different from each other as well. The first major difference is their countries of origin. Taiyaki is from Japan, where as bungeoppang is from Korea. However, bungeoppang was originally inspired by taiyaki. But, another difference is what fish these baked goods are based on. Unlike the carp-shaped bungeoppang, taiyaki is shaped like a sea bream. Aside from this, their main similarity is what is inside of them. Both of them are originally filled with red bean paste. However, some people fill them with different things such as chocolate or custard. Although I have not been able to try either of these pastries for myself, I must admit they both sound equally delicious. As a little bonus, I will be including pictures of bungeoppang and taiyaki down below so you guys can see what they both look like. Enjoy!

Today's blog post will be about Pichu from Pokémon. Pichu is an electric type Pokémon, and it is the pre-evolution of Pikachu and Raichu. This Pokémon can charge its electricity easier when its dry outside or if there are thunderclouds in the sky. You can also hear static electricity crackling off of Pichu too. When it plays with other Pichu, they may short each other out, which creates a shower of sparks. When this happens, Pichu will be startled by the sudden flash of sparks and begin crying. This Pokémon is actually not as popular as its other evolutions are. This is most likely because Pikachu is the mascot of the franchise. But, even Raichu got its own Alolan form in Sun And Moon. Interestingly enough, Pichu was created long after Pikachu and Raichu were. This is actually probably one of the contributing factors to its lack of popularity. There is even a baby Pikachu present in one of the older Anime episodes that was made before Pichu came out. Of course, I will also be including this picture down below. Enjoy!

The blog post for today will be yet another Mystic Messenger post. I know I've done quite a bit of posts concerning it before, but I really like doing posts about it because I really like the app. Of course I'll try not to do a bunch of posts about it at once though, since that would eventually get boring for all of us. Now that that's out of the way, let's continue with the post! This post will be about a couple of jokes from the game I see a lot in the fandom. There will be some spoilers in here too, so proceed with caution. Now then, on with the post! So, does Jumin Han is gay? This joke was actually pulled right from the game, as it's part of a prank Seven pulled on Jumin. Of course the MC can also participate in this prank, or she can side with Jumin. The prank consists of Seven asking Jumin if he's gay until he finally logs out. Seven does this because he noticed Jumin didn't date women (unless the MC chooses his route, that is). So, he decided to pick on Jumin by pulling this prank on him. I actually see this one quite a bit. The other joke I see quite a bit is Zen liking Seven. This joke actually came right from the game too. In one of the chats, Seven sends a picture of himself dressed as a maid. Zen later comments on the "girl" being pretty and then flips out when he finds out it's Seven. I've actually seen some pretty funny comics made from these jokes too, so these ones are obviously pretty popular. As a little bonus, I will be including the picture of Seven in his maid outfit below. Enjoy!

Today's blog post is an interesting one, to say the least. For this post, I'll be talking about some penguins who cosplay. That's right, cosplaying penguins! In Matsue Vogel Park in Japan, some penguins cosplay as Neon Genesis Evangelion characters! Twice daily, these penguins walk around the park in their hand-crafted costumes that were made by their handlers. The costumes were also designed to not impair the penguins' movements too. These events are part of a promotional campaign between the Matsue Vogel Park and Neon Genesis Evangelion, and it goes until July 9th, 2018. I personally think this is a very cute and creative idea. Even though it'll be inaccessible to some people because it's in Japan, it's still fun to see the pictures of the penguins in their costumes! Since I found out about this through a Crunchyroll article, I'll be linking it down below so you guys can check it out. I'll also be including one of the pictures of the penguins from the article below as well. Enjoy!

The blog post for today will be about the Chattoon section and the Ask Me Anything section on the official Mystic Messenger website. Firstly, the Chattoon section has five Chattoons in it. What are Chattoons? Well, these Chattoons are little side stories done in the same style as the in-game chatroom. However, these chats are a little different. Unlike the game, these chats have little cutscenes in the form of pictures. They obviously don't have the MC in them, and they're not directly related to the game either. Secondly, the Ask Me Anything section is just that. There are six parts in it, and the questions are answered by the characters from Mystic Messenger. Of course these are questions that have already been asked though. But, I think it's fun to see how the characters reply to them. Plus, the characters are in the chibi art style too. This part is just for fun as well. If any of you guys would like to check these sections of the official Mystic Messenger website out, I will include the link for both of them below. Enjoy!

This is my 606th blog post! Although that's not a huge milestone, it does mean that I'll be doing this post about 707 and the MC from Mystic Messenger. But, what does the number 606 have to do with Seven and the MC? Well, first I would like to mention that there may be a couple spoilers in here, so proceed with caution! Anyways, 606 is actually what 707 calls his girlfriend, which would be the MC in the game. Although nobody knows exactly why he calls her 606, some people think it's because of the error code. This error code is basically responsible for erasing data or resetting. This would make sense because the MC has to reset at the end of every route. Since the rest of the "reset theory" says that the error code 707 means it can't erase data, this would mean that Seven calls himself 707 because he remembers all, or at least some, of the routes. This would also mean that he calls the MC 606 because he knows she can reset everything. I suppose this theory makes a lot of sense, but we still don't know if it was deliberate until we get confirmation from Cheritz. But since I'm sure they put a lot of thought into all of the details in Mystic Messenger, it probably was intentional. This is mostly just my opinion on it anyways. I hope you guys still enjoy this post though!

Why does Seven call himself 707? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post. While playing Mystic Messenger, you can see Seven referred to as Seven or 707 many times. But why did he choose that specific alias? Well, some people think that it's because of the error code 707, and other people think it's because 707 is LOL upside down. Although both of these would make sense, it's hard to tell if one or both of these reasons are actually true. It could be for a lot of different reasons as well. But since he works with computers a lot, the error code theory would make sense. But because he uses the term LOL a lot while he's in the chatroom, that would also make sense. But, it could also be because the number 7 is supposed to be lucky. However, this one is doubtful since he doesn't like that nickname. The reason he chose that specific nickname is a mystery to all of us MCs. Until we get some confirmation on the reason he chose this name by Cheritz, there's no way we could tell why he chose it. But, this is mostly just my opinion anyways. I hope you guys still like this post though! As a little bonus, I will include a picture of Seven down below. Enjoy!

It's Free Comic Book Day! Once a year every year, comic book shops give away free comic books made especially for this occasion. It also happens every first Saturday in May. But what does this have to do with Anime or manga? Well, even popular manga companies like Viz have special manga made for this day! There are even popular ones like Pokémon Sun And Moon and My Hero Academia available! There are lots of other comics available too, so there's something for everyone! I personally look forward to this day every year, because then I can see which comics will be available. If any of you guys are interested in Free Comic Book Day, I will include the link for the official Free Comic Book Day website below. It's only for today though, so you better hurry if you want to make it in time!

Are Pokémon actually humans? Well that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post. I've actually heard this theory before, so I'll be giving my thoughts on it too. First of all, this theory basically states that humans and Pokémon are the same thing in the Pokémon world. Although this seems pretty ridiculous at first, there's actually evidence of this. Although it's more common with ghost type Pokémon, multiple Pokedex entries have stated that some Pokémon used to be humans. This is seen with Pokémon like Yamask, whose Pokedex entry actually says that it used to be a human who passed away, and that the mask it carries is its face from when it was a human. It even retains its memories from when it was a human. Another example of this is Phantump, who is a stump that is possessed by children who died while they were lost in the forest. Even Kadabra was revealed to have once been a boy with extrasensory powers who woke up one morning as a Kadabra. But if this is true, then why can't humans be captured by a Pokeball? Although it currently isn't explained in the games or Anime, it's most likely because a Pokeball is designed specifically for catching wild Pokémon. Since humans aren't exactly wild, it wouldn't work on them. This would actually make sense because a Pokémon that is already owned by a trainer can't be caught either. But then why don't humans have special powers? Well, some actually do. There are multiple gym leaders with psychic powers. The most well-known example of this is Sabrina from the Anime, who has very powerful psychic powers. So, I believe that it is very possible for humans to be evolved from Pokémon. But, this is just a theory anyways. This is mostly just my opinion too. But, I will still be providing the links I used for this down below so you guys can check it out for yourself. Enjoy!

The blog post for today will be about the Sanrio character Pochacco. Pochacco is a curious puppy, and he loves going for walks. He also loves eating banana flavored ice cream. He is a great basketball player, and he's a pretty good soccer goalie too. However, I unfortunately couldn't find very much more information about him. This is basically all it says on the official Sanrio website, and it's hard to say how much of the information on the wiki is true without using some other sources. But, I did find Sanrio's official timeline website that gives us a little more information. Apparently, he is also quite clumsy, and he sometimes puts his nose where it isn't wanted. He is as tall as four cups of his favorite ice cream too. He weighs as much as three carrots from the carrot patch in Fuwafuwa Town as well. He also lives in Ugulsu Alley, which is just outside of Fuwafuwa Town. Although he's not as popular as some of the other characters, I have been seeing some of his merchandise popping up in stores lately. I have personally liked this character for quite a while too, so I'm pleased to see that he still has a decent amount of merchandise right now. As I mentioned before, I got most of this information from Sanrio's official websites. So, I will be linking both of them below. Enjoy!

For today's blog post, I will be talking about the six Pokémon I would have on my Pokémon team if I was a trainer. I'll also be explaining why I'm choosing the Pokémon I choose. Although I've seen other people talk about what kind of Pokémon gym they would have, I don't think I would be a very good gym leader. So, I'll just be talking about my team instead. Now then, on with the list!

1.) Eevee (Normal type) - Although Eevee isn't one of the strongest Pokémon, it's still my favorite. So, there's no way it wouldn't be on my team! It's always good to have a normal type on your team anyways.

2.) Umbreon (Dark type) - This one is actually my favorite Eeveelution. It's also pretty cool, and its dark type could come in handy.

3.) Gallade (Psychic/Fighting type) - Although Gallade's counterpart Gardevoir is more popular, I think it would be cool to have a Gallade on my team instead. Plus, Gallade wouldn't create a black hole if I was in danger.

4.) Mimikyu (Ghost/Fairy type) - This mysterious little Pokémon is very cute. It's also pretty powerful, and its dual-typing is quite interesting.

5.) Arcanine (Fire type) - Its always a good idea to have a fire type Pokémon on your team. This Pokémon is also pretty strong, and its large stature and amazing speed may be helpful with transportation.

6.) Vaporeon (Water type) - I honestly wasn't sure which Pokémon to choose for this one. But, I figured a water type would be a good idea for my team. So, I picked Vaporeon. It's a cool Pokémon, and I really like Eeveelutions!
