It's New Year's Eve! So to help celebrate, I will be listing three New Year's-themed anime pictures below. I would also like to mention that these pictures don't belong to me, so please support the original artists. Now that that's out of the way, let's get on with the pictures! Happy New Year everyone!

Ready for another new post? The blog post for today will be about the Pokemon Mudkip. Mudkip is a water-type Pokemon, and it is the pre-evolution of the Pokemon Marshtomp. It is also the pre-evolution of the Pokemon Swampert. This Pokemon can lift large boulders on land. Along with this, Mudkip can use the gills on its cheeks to breath underwater. The fin on Mudkip's head is a highly sensitive radar as well, and Mudkip can use it to sense the movements of wind and air. This allows Mudkip to determine what's going on without using its eyes. As always, I will be including a picture of Mudkip below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

What time is it? Post time! Today's blog post will be about the Pokemon Teddiursa. Teddiursa is a normal-type Pokemon, and it is the pre-evolution of the Pokemon Ursaring. This Pokemon is constantly licking its paws. This is because its paws are always covered in honey. If Teddiursa finds honey, its crescent mark will glow. Along with this, Teddiursa can make its own honey by blending the fruits and pollen collected by Beedrill. Teddiursa will hoard its food and hide it in many locations before the wintertime, as well. As always, I will be including a picture of Teddiursa below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

It's time to post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Astro Boy. Astro Boy is a series that started as a manga in the 1950's. Although it's not very popular now, it has had several adaptations. There have been many anime adaptations for it, and there was even a CGI movie made in the USA in 2009. Every adaptation follows Astro Boy in his daily adventures. Astro Boy himself is a robot boy who has many powers because of his robotics. Although things change from adaptation to adaptation, most of the story tends to stay roughly the same. There is quite a bit to say about this series, but I won't be going into too much detail so this post doesn't get too long. However, I will be including a picture of the original Astro Boy from the 1960's anime below so you guys can see what he looks like. Enjoy!

It's post time! The blog post for today will be about the Pokemon Altaria. Altaria is a dragon/flying-type Pokemon, and it is the evolution of the Pokemon Swablu. This Pokemon floats along in a relaxed manner, and it performs a humming song as it flies. Altaria has a very kind disposition, as well. However, it will let out a shrill cry and attack its foes mercilessly if it is ever provoked. As always, I will be including a picture of Altaria below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

New day, new post! Today's blog post will be about the Pokemon Swablu. Swablu is a normal/flying-type Pokemon, and it is the pre-evolution of the Pokemon Altaria. This Pokemon has very light and fluffy wings. This is because they are mostly made of air. Swablu takes great care of its wings, as well. Swablu's cloud-like appearance sometimes makes it hard to find too, which makes it difficult for its foes. It is said its wings became white after many generations. As always, I will be including a picture of Swablu below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

It's Christmas! That means it's time for my annual special Christmas post! For this year's post, I will be including three Christmas-themed anime pictures below. Although it isn't very much, I hope this post helps everyone get into the Christmas spirit! I would once again like to say none of this art belongs to me, so please support the original artists! Now then, on with the post! Merry Christmas!

It's Christmas Eve! That means it's time for a special pre-Christmas post! There are a lot of ways to get into the Christmas spirit, so for today's blog post I'll be talking about the holiday selection on the official Pokemon Center website. There are a lot of holiday-themed products available on the Pokemon Center's website right now, and a lot of them would be nice for any Pokemon fan. Although it's a bit late to order things, the products they have listed on their website would help anyone get into the holiday spirit.

It is also the pre-evolution of the Pokemon Staraptor. This Pokemon is weak on its own. Because of this, it is usually part of a large flock. However, they will start to bicker if the flock is too big. Starly gathers around mountains and fields as well, and they chase after bug Pokemon. Starly can also flap its wings with great power, too. As always, I will be including a picture of Starly below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

Death Note will once again be making a return next year! A new compilation of Death Note short stories is set to release in Japan on February 4th, 2021. The book will be called Death Note: Short Stories, and it will be created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. There isn't very much known about this upcoming compilation at the moment, but it is set to be 226 pages long.

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Pokemon Flapple. Flapple is a grass/dragon-type Pokemon, and it is the evolution of the Pokemon Applin. This Pokemon can make itself look like an apple. Along with this, eating a sour apple is what caused its evolution. Flapple can fly on wings of apple skin, and it stores powerful acid in its cheeks. It can spit this acid as well, and the acid can cause terrible chemical burns. As always, I will be including a picture of Flapple below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

This Pokemon has spots that can emit light, and it uses these spots to communicate with others. It can also use these blinking spots to draw prey to it as well; and it will wrap its prey up with its tentacles and hold it in place when it comes close enough. Inkay can daze its opponents with its flashing spots too, and it will use the opportunity to scuttle away to safety. As always, I will be including a picture of Inkay below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

New day, new post! The blog post for today will be about the Pokemon Deerling. Deerling is a normal/grass-type Pokemon, and it is the pre-evolution of the Pokemon Sawsbuck. This Pokemon's fur changes color with the seasons. Because of this, it has four different forms. These are the spring, summer, autumn, and winter forms. Their scent also changes with the seasons, and many people use them to tell the seasons. The color of Deerling's fur can be affected slightly by the temperature and humidity, as well. As always, I will be including a picture of all four Deerling forms below so you guys can see what they all look like. Enjoy!

As always, I will be including a picture of Swanna below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

Ready for another new post? Today's blog post will be about the Pokemon Ducklett. Ducklett is a water/flying-type Pokemon, and it is the pre-evolution of the Pokemon Swanna. This Pokemon can swim better than it can fly. Along with this, it will happily eat its favorite food, peat moss, as it dives underwater. If Ducklett is ever attacked, it will splash its opponent with water and escape in the spray. As always, I will be including a picture of Ducklett below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

What time is it? Post time! The blog post for today will be about Sumikko Gurashi. Sumikko Gurashi is a set of cute San- X characters who live their lives in corners. Along with this, they live quiet, solitary lives. They calm down while they are in corners as well, and they will rush back to their corners if they are ever taken to the center of the room. They dislike being in the center of the room, too. As always, I will be including a picture of Sumikko Gurashi below so you guys can see what they look like. Enjoy!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be listing five Vocaloid or Utauloid songs that are often used for animation memes. Animation memes are popular short animations that are usually repetitive and synced with songs. Because of this, there are a lot of songs that have been used for animation memes. Many Vocaloid and Utauloid songs have been used for these short animations as well, so I decided to make a list of a few of the songs. As always, I will also be including the links for the songs. Now then, let's get on with the list! Enjoy!

New day, new post! Today's blog post will be about the Pokemon Shellos. Shellos is a water-type Pokemon, and it is the pre-evolution of the Pokemon Gastrodon. This Pokemon has two forms. These are the East Sea and West Sea forms, and its appearance is said to change based on its environment. Along with this, the West Sea form of Shellos is thought to be caused by warm water; whereas the East Sea form is thought to be caused by cold water. The West Sea form of Shellos will secrete a sticky purple fluid if it is subjected to a strong force, as well. As always, I will be including pictures for the West Sea and East Sea forms of Shellos below so you guys can see what they look like. Enjoy!

It's time to post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the different Pokemon Go teams. Although I have talked about the teams before, today's post will focus more on their popularity. As you all may or may not know, Pokemon Go has three teams you can choose from. These teams are Team Mystic, Team Valor, and Team Instinct. Although Team Instinct ended up with a lot of memes when it was revealed, it's actually the least popular team in the game. The most popular team is Team Mystic, with Team Valor coming in a close second. Because of this, it's much easier to find gyms claimed by Mystic and Valor rather than Team Instinct. I myself personally prefer Team Instinct; and if any of you would like to join the team with the memes, you can change your team with a Team Medallion from the shop. As a little bonus, I will be including a picture of the Pokemon Go team leaders below. Enjoy!

I'm back to talk about some more shiny Pokemon! It's been a while since I've talked about shiny Pokemon on here, so I've decided to make a post about shiny Buneary and shiny Lopunny. These two shiny Pokemon have largely the same color scheme. Their original forms have dark brown fur with cream-colored puffs of fur. However, the shiny versions of these Pokemon have a slightly lighter shade of brown and pink-colored puffs of fur. This distinct change in color makes the shiny versions stand out against its normal forms, and the pink puffs make these Pokemon look even more feminine than their original forms. Although some shiny Pokemon can be difficult to find because of their small color changes, shiny Buneary and shiny Lopunny stand out very well from their original counterparts. Along with this, I personally think the pink puffs and lighter brown fur mixes very well with their designs. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. As always, I will be including a picture of the shiny and normal forms of Buneary and Lopunny below so you guys can see what they look like. Enjoy!

From left to right is normal Buneary, shiny Buneary, normal Lopunny, and shiny Lopunny.

It's post time! Today's blog post will be about the Pokemon Vanilluxe. Vanilluxe is an ice-type Pokemon, and it is the evolution of the Pokemon Vanillish. It is also the evolution of the Pokemon Vanillite. This Pokemon can make snow clouds inside of its body. Along with this, it can create snow anywhere. Vanilluxe is created when two half-melted Vanillish become stuck together and freeze that way as well, and each Vanilluxe head has its own brain because of this. If both heads are angered, they will attack with a violent blizzard. As always, I will be including a picture of Vanilluxe below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

Ready for another new blog post? The blog post for today will be about Mad Father. Mad Father is a game developed by Sen, and it was originally released in 2012. It is also a survival/horror puzzle game, and it's still surprisingly popular. It has recently been remade, as well. This game follows Aya Drevis as she uncovers the horrible secrets that are held in her family's mansion, and as she reveals the truth behind the awful experiments held there. The remake of this game has added completely new graphics, new scenes, and an added story mode that is unlocked after the first play-through. Since this is a horror game, there are more mature themes such as excess blood and mature story themes. If any of you are interested in trying this game, it is available for the computer and Nintendo Switch. As always, I will be including a picture from Mad Father below so you guys can see what it looks like. As a little bonus, I will also be including the link to the Steam page below. Enjoy!

The Pokemon Company is making an officially licensed Ditto chair! This Ditto chair will be like a beanbag chair, and as of right now it will only be released in Japan. Despite this, many fans are already asking where they can get this chair for themselves. The Ditto chair is priced at approximately 250 US dollars, as well. This chair is not being sold outside of Japan, and the website who sells it will not ship the chair overseas. Along with this, it's hard to say if it will ever get a global release. Nonetheless, I will still be including the link for the website below. As always, I will also be including a picture of the new Ditto chair below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

New day, new post! The blog post for today will be about the Galarian form of the Pokemon Rapidash.

Along with this, it airily runs through the forest. Its light steps are helped by the psychic energy stored in its fur, as well.

As always, I will be including a picture of Galarian Rapidash below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

It's time for yet another new blog post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Brandy from Hamtaro. Brandy is Laura's dog, and he is introduced in the first episode of the anime. Brandy is a lazy dog who is usually seen napping in his dog house. Along with this, Hamtaro lands on Brandy's head every time he slides down the pipe that leads outside. Although he doesn't usually do very much, Brandy is a good friend to the Ham-Hams. Brandy's full name is Brandon, as well. As always, I will be including a picture of Brandy below so you guys can see what he looks like. Enjoy!

It's time to post! Today's blog post will be about the Pokemon Linoone. Linoone is a normal-type Pokemon, and it is the evolution of the Pokemon Zigzagoon. This Pokemon can run very quickly, but only while it is running in a straight line. Linoone can run at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour as well, but it has to come to a full stop before it can turn. Along with this, Linoone cannot run on curving roads. If it comes across an obstacle, it will make a sharp right turn to avoid it. As always, I will be including a picture of Linoone below so you guys can see what it looks like. Enjoy!
