It's post time! Many fans of Animal Crossing New Horizons have wondered where players get the books and magazines villagers are often seen reading. These are obtainable from Redd's Raffle on Harv's Island, and there are a few different versions you can get. There are five different books and four different magazines, and they can be used forever without breaking. You can get doubles, since it's random. However, you can also take the books and magazines to Cyrus, who is also on Harv's Island, and he'll customize them for you. These items are called the pocketbook and the pocket magazine, as well. They can be tedious to get because it's random, but being able to customize it makes it much easier to get them all. I wanted to talk about this since a lot of players still don't know where you can get them. As always, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's St. Patrick's Day! So for today's blog post, I will be listing five green grass-type Pokemon, along with a picture of each. I thought this would be a good way to celebrate the holiday. So, let's get on with the list! Enjoy! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

1.) Celebi

2.) Chikorita

3.) Petilil

4.) Skiploom

5.) Budew

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Twisted Wonderland Nesoberi Mega plush. I was recently able to buy one of these, and it just arrived today so I wanted to talk about it. I obviously got the Lilia Vanrouge one, so that's what I'll be talking about. This plushie was quite a bit bigger than I expected, so that was a nice surprise. Most of it is dye-printed, which means the designs are dyed directly onto the fabric. It's extremely detailed as well, which was also a nice surprise. Even details that are hidden by his clothes were still included on the plushie. The fabric for his hair and face is soft, but the rest of it is mostly felt or a type of slippery fabric similar to an athletic jacket. His ears are pointed, but they're a little too round in my opinion. The biggest complaint I have with this plushie is that the streaks in his hair are vinyl. I really don't like this because vinyl always peels eventually. It would've been better to use fabric for it, especially since the streaks are much too light. They should be a darker pink than they actually are. This could be manually fixed with fabric, I just don't understand why they would use fabric and dye for everything else and then use this vinyl for the streaks. If they'd used actual fabric for it, he'd get a perfect score. But as it is, this plushie is an 8/10 for me. Especially since this plushie costs at least thirty dollars. As always, I'll be including a picture of the plushie below so you all can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

Why do anime fans dislike live action remakes? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! A lot of anime fans don't like live action versions of anime series for a few reasons. First of all, a lot of people watch anime because it's anime. Anime has a really good art style that many people love, so making it live action ruins that. It's also difficult to recreate many scenes in a way that makes it look as good as it did in animation. Live action versions are also just unnecessary. Why make the same thing twice? Along with this, a lot of live action projects are just cheap cash grabs being made by people who don't watch, like, or appreciate the original source material. It's almost always awful and most of them are just trying to get money from something that already has fans. I'm looking at you, Netflix Death Note. Anime fans like anime because it's anime, not because we secretly want to watch real people try to cosplay as the thing we'd rather be watching. I think companies should just give up the live action thing and just let us enjoy things as they are. 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 talking about Pokemon games. Since Pokemon has been around for a long time now, the games have gotten a bit confusing. So, I'll explain. With Pokemon games, there are mainline games, and spin-off games. Mainline games are story-based and usually take a lot longer to make. Spin-off games are more for exploring the world instead. There are spin-off games that are like mainline games, since they have a similar format but are set in different time periods or alternate universes. There's more to it than this, but these are the basics, so I'll end it here. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Since today is Friday the 13th again, I'd like to talk about Pokemon. Since there aren't really any bad luck Pokemon, I think it would be a good idea if ghost-type Pokemon were more common on Friday the 13th. It would make sense for ghost-type Pokemon to become more common on days associated with bad luck, especially since a lot of ghost Pokemon are associated with superstitions and causing mischief. Although I'd like to see actual bad luck Pokemon, I don't think that'll happen any time soon. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Was Harv's Island unnecessary in Animal Crossing New Horizons? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Harv's Island is where all of the shops that aren't on your island are. However, I think it wasn't needed. There's more than enough space on the main island for these shops. But even if you don't want them all at once, they could switch out throughout the week. You could have a few shops on your island at a time, one building with multiple shops, or even just all of the shops at once. But instead, you have to fly to a different island every time you need anything from a different shop. It's a waste of time, and it's extremely tedious. Because of this, I think Harv's Island shouldn't have existed. Especially since the creators could've just made the main island bigger if they were worried the shops would take up too much space. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about items in Animal Crossing New Horizons. One of my biggest pet peeves with this game is items that have different colors, but can't be customized normally. There are items in the game that come in different colors, but the colors can't be changed at a regular workbench. Instead, you either have to wait for the different color to pop up in the store, which is basically not ever going to happen, or you have to buy it and take it to Cyrus on Harv's Island. This is so frustrating because it means you have to go all the way to a different island every time you want something in a different color. You can almost never just buy it that way, and you can't do it yourself either. I don't understand why we can customize some things and not others. It makes no sense and it would've been easier to just make everything like this customizable. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! One of the things fans were looking forward to with the newest Animal Crossing New Horizons update was the possibility of more custom design slots. There's a surprisingly small amount of custom design spaces in this game. Since they only cover one tile when you use them for your island, many things require multiple custom design spaces to make one full design. This means you can run out of spaces extremely fast. Not only this, but you can run out of custom clothing spaces pretty fast too. But unfortunately, we weren't given more design slots. In fact, fans didn't get very much of anything with the update, and we likely won't get anything else since Nintendo is pushing the next game in the series instead. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

What is heterochromia? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! This is something that's somewhat common to see in anime, since it's a good way to make a character stand out. Heterochromia is when each eye is a different color. It's a real condition, but you'll see it much more often in anime than you will in real life. Characters with different colored eyes are usually very popular, since it's a popular design choice. It's a good way to make a character look unique, so many artists like to give their characters these eyes. As always, here's a picture of Obanai Iguro from Demon Slayer as an example. Enjoy!

Does Sanrio have too many collaborations? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Sanrio partners up with other brands all the time, so there are a lot of different things that Sanrio has made by now. This is good for some reasons, like if someone likes Sanrio and something else, there's a good chance it exists. However, this makes it nearly impossible for collectors. By this point, there's just no way anyone could collect everything Sanrio has made, there's too much of it. This means anyone who collects Sanrio will have to be causal collectors, because no one could ever collect everything. Because of this, I think the question of whether they have too many collaborations or not really depends on the person. Personally I think there is way too much sometimes, but other times I like some of their new merchandise. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Should there be more animal-like Pokemon? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! One of the most common complaints from Pokemon fans are Pokemon who don't look like animals. There are Pokemon who look human-like, ones who look like objects, ones that look like food, and ones that don't really look like anything. Even though some fans complain about this, I think this is what makes them interesting. You never know what to expect. Pokemon have never been animals, they're literally Pocket Monsters. Even though the name was changed, we shouldn't forget that Pokemon can be anything. There are animal-like Pokemon, but Pokemon aren't animals; so I don't think there should be more of them that look like animals when there are already so many that do. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

 It's time to post! For a while now, the Pokemon company has started making Pokemon who are beautiful to look at, but are actually very dangerous and terrifying. Why is this? Well, this is actually very common to see in real animals. Since a lot of Pokemon fans are older now, it makes it much easier to include these scary details in Pokedex entries. Many children don't read Pokedex entries, so they're really more for older fans now. I think this allows the creators to be more creative with the traits they give Pokemon. It allows them to lean into more darker themes, as well. I think this is why dangerous Pokemon have become more common to see with time. 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 a long time, game companies have been forcing fans to buy new consoles by only releasing games for the new consoles. Not only does this push away current fans, but it also makes it so people feel pressured to spend money they may not even have. This is why a lot of people are starting to prefer computer games. Many computer games can be played even on older computers, and now most modern controllers are compatible with computers too. Why buy a new system when you can play on something you already own? Even mobile games have gotten better these days, and a lot of them are free to play; which makes it even easier to play a different game instead of the ones that may not be available to you. If gaming companies want people to buy their games, then they should make it so everyone can buy and play them instead of immediately pushing away their current fans as soon as they release a new console. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time for another new blog post! For today's blog post, I'd like to talk about how people watch anime in the community. A lot of anime fans only watch mainstream anime, but they ignore the less popular ones. Other anime fans are the opposite of this. But as anime continues to grow in popularity, I think it's important for fans to explore a lot of different types of anime. Many good series get overlooked and forgotten because people ignore them. Because of this, I think if an anime sounds interesting, it should be watched regardless of how popular it is. Some fans only want safe popular things, and others want unique things. But I think anime should be enjoyed regardless of how many people like it. It doesn't really matter if something is popular or not, or what other people think about it, what matters is if you like 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! For a long time, fans of Fate/Grand Order have debated about the gender of Enkidu. Most of the fans agree he's a man, others think he's genderless, and some think he's a girl. If you've noticed, I'm calling him a male. This is because recently this year's Chaldea Boys collection has been revealed, and one of the featured characters is Enkidu. That's right, the game itself has finally confirmed that Enkidu is a male. This is especially true because the announcement specified that this collection is for males only. So to put the argument to rest, Enkidu is a male. This won't change much in the fandom, but I wanted to talk about it anyways. Fans have asked about this quite a bit before, so it's nice to finally have an answer. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post! And in case you don't believe me, here's a screenshot from the official announcement. Enjoy!

Will there ever be a new Pokemon type? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! We haven't gotten a new permanent Pokemon type in a very long time. This is likely because the ones we have are enough. However, there are a lot of things that would make a good new type. Adding a new type would also make the games more interesting. Many fans complain about the fact that battles have become stale. No matter what a Pokemon is, if you know its type, you can easily win battles with it. Because of this, I think adding even one more new type would bring people back to the games. Despite this, I think it's very unlikely that this will ever happen. New types have almost never been added because they change the games too much. I think we may never get a new type, mainly because it would be too much work to add it; and the Pokemon company does not seem to like extra work. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why are games announced so long before their release dates? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Games have always been announced months before they actually come out. This is so they can advertise the game and get fans excited for it, because then they're more likely to buy it right away. However, recently they've been announcing games years in advance. This is a really bad marketing decision. Nobody wants to wait that long for anything, and many people end up just forgetting about it after months of waiting. Not only this, but it gives people too much time to raise their expectations. Fans will always be disappointed by anything that makes them wait that long. This is because people believe if you have to wait that long, it must be for a really amazing reason. So if a game is just an average game, even if it's a good game, people will always find something wrong with it. Because of this, I don't know why companies think it's a good idea to announce their games this far in advance; especially since it will only cause the game to fall short of expectations. 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 talking about Raymond's glasses in Animal Crossing New Horizons. For those of you who don't know, Raymond wears special glasses that you can't actually get in the game. This has always bothered me because those are actually based on a very popular type of glasses. It wouldn't be difficult to add them to the game either, because the simple sunglasses already use these frames. All they would have to do is remove the lenses from those frames, which I think is likely what they did for Raymond's glasses, since they look almost exactly like the simple sunglasses. It's so disappointing to know they could have added this popular glasses shape to the game, but they didn't. I also hate the argument that they could add it to a later game because not everyone can afford to immediately buy the next game, especially with recent prices. It's also difficult to just move on to a whole new game after spending so much time and effort building the island and becoming friends with the villagers. Why does it matter if the next game has it if this game doesn't, when this game is the one everyone already owns? But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. As always, I'll be including a picture of the simple sunglasses below, as well as a picture of Raymond for comparison. Enjoy!

Pokemon Winds and Pokemon Waves has been announced! As always, this means the new starter Pokemon have been revealed! The games won't be coming out for another year, so there's no point getting excited about them yet. Because of this, I'll be talking about the new starter Pokemon today. There are three starters, and they are the grass starter Browt, the fire starter Pombon, and the water starter Gecqua. Browt is a chick, Pombon is a puppy, and Gecqua is a gecko. They're pretty adorable, and I actually like all of the designs this time. Other fans are also excited to see them, and I can see why. My favorite this time is Pombon, but they're all very cute. I only hope their evolutions don't ruin them. As always, here's a picture of the three new starters. Enjoy!

Why do Pokemon fans want to see a new Eevee evolution? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For a while, Eevee was getting new evolutions pretty often. But since then, we haven't gotten another one in a long time. Despite this, fans are still hoping it'll happen. This is because Eevee is the evolution Pokemon. It's supposed to be able to change based on its environment, which is why it's odd for it to only have a few evolutions. There's still a lot of types that are available for Eevee evolutions, too. For example, there isn't an Eevee evolution for one of my favorite types, the ghost type. There are so many things that could be done with this Pokemon that it feels like a waste to stop with only a handful of evolutions. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why are otaku characters usually unemployed in anime and manga? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Within this media, it's common to see characters who like anime or videogames without jobs. This is because in Japan, people who like these things are usually seen as shut-ins or hermits. They're often shown to be living off of family or friends, and they usually don't do anything; including chores or outdoor activities. There are some otaku characters that do have jobs, but they usually don't. This is a stereotype that made it all the way to America, since real life otakus are often portrayed like this too. But if anime has gotten more popular, why is this still a stereotype? Well, many people who say they like anime, manga, or videogames are either casual fans, or only say they like them to look cool. They don't actually see themselves as a fan, so they don't care about the stereotype. Others who are real anime fans see this and say "I'm not like that, so I think it's funny". Because of this, even though there are a lot of anime fans who aren't like this, no one really cares enough to change this common character trope. The unemployed otaku has become such a common thing to see in Japanese media that no one cares about it anymore, and it isn't seen as hurtful or disrespectful like it originally was. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time to post! This year will be Pokemon's 30th anniversary, which means the Pokemon Company is already getting ready to celebrate. There's been new merchandise made for it, and the celebration has been talked about ever since the year began. At the moment, it's unclear what all is being planned for this year's big celebration, but I'm sure it'll be something amazing. I think this would also be a good opportunity for the Pokemon Company to surprise the fans with a new Eevee evolution. Fans have been asking for a new Eevee evolution for a long time now, so this anniversary would be a good time to release one. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time to post! Now that the Resort Hotel has been available for a while in Animal Crossing New Horizons, I'd like to talk about it. Firstly, I get a lot of repeat villagers. I see the same villagers often, which can get boring. It's also very easy to see how repetitive the dialogue can get in this game. All of the different villagers say the same exact things as the other villagers of their personality type. With the constantly changing villagers, it gets tedious, fast. The villagers also just don't remember you if you've met them outside of the Resort Hotel. For example, if you make a villager a house in Happy Home Paradise, they'll remember you the next time they see you even if they're visiting your campsite. But if a new villager visits your campsite, they'll act like they've never met you and reintroduce themselves when they stay at the hotel. It really breaks the immersion, and forces you to meet the same villager twice. Talking to hotel villagers also doesn't count towards Nook Miles or anything, even if you already know them. Hotel villagers don't learn your character's name, either. All in all, the hotel feels incomplete. It doesn't really have a purpose at all. The villagers don't know you, they only remember you if they visit the hotel more than once, they'll never learn your character's name, and they don't even count as villagers. I don't know why the hotel is even there. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Are humanoid Pokemon too strange? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Some Pokemon fans complain about humanoid Pokemon for being unnatural or weird. They also dislike when more animal-like Pokemon end up with a more human-like final evolution. However, I don't think there's anything wrong with these types of Pokemon. First of all, Pokemon aren't animals, so there's nothing really unnatural about them. I can also see why some Pokemon end up more human-like, and a lot of them end up having nice designs. I can understand why some fans don't like these Pokemon, but that's their opinion. There's nothing wrong with the majority of the humanoid Pokemon we have at the moment. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time for another list! For today's blog post, I will be listing five brightly colored Animal Crossing villagers, along with a picture of each. There are quite a few villagers to choose from now, so I decided to list a few of the more colorful ones for you all today. Now then, on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Judy

2.) Sasha

3.) Stitches

4.) Fuchsia

5.) Marina

Why do people dislike the Vocaloid song Mimukauwa Nice Try? Well, there what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! This song got a lot of negative attention when it first came out even though the song itself was pretty well liked. This is because during the music video, Miku was dressed in a skimpy outfit. People started claiming that it was wrong because the art style makes Miku look young in this video. That's a pretty dumb argument. A lot of songs and videos featuring Miku are way worse than this one. Why this one was singled out is beyond me. The creator can't help it if this is their art style. All of their music videos look like this, so claiming they're intentionally making Miku look young is wrong. The art style is just rounder and more chibi-like. Arguing that this video is wrong just because Miku wears a maid outfit is not only insulting this creator's art style, but also perpetuating the belief that people who look young have no right being depicted in any even vaguely inappropriate ways. This belief makes it so real people who look young get harassed for being in relationships because they look young, as if it's their fault they look that way. I hate the argument that a certain art style is banned from showing even adult characters in certain outfits just because it looks bad. This is just the Lucky Star art style, which was also complained about often when it was released. I think people should just let it go, it's not that big of a deal when there are songs featuring Rin in a worse way than Miku in a maid outfit. 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 listing five colorful anime series. I haven't made a list in a while, and I wanted to list a few series with a lot of colors since many anime series are usually darker and more serious. The series I'll be listing will be more lighthearted, as well. Now then, let's get on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Hamtaro

2.) Pokemon

3.) Himouto Umaru-Chan

4.) Yo-Kai Watch

5.) The Disastrous Life Of Saiki K.

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Animal Crossing New Horizons. Recently this game was updated, and the problem with crafting was finally fixed. Now you can craft multiple things at a time. However, that was the only thing they fixed! You can craft multiple things at once, but everything else can still only be done one at a time. You can only grab one thing, buy one thing, and give one thing. Things you can buy multiples of are only buy one, or buy it in bulk. This is ridiculous! Being able to choose the amount of things is just such a basic game mechanic that I have never even thought about what a game would be like without it. Why can't you choose how many things you can buy? It's frustrating, it's angering, and it's exhausting! I can't even buy Bell Vouchers because it's so tedious. Players have spent literally hours exchanging their Nook Miles for Bell Vouchers. This was a very common complaint within the fandom and all the developers did was fix one problem and ignore the rest! Now it's even more obvious how frustrating this problem is. Please, Nintendo, developers, fix this. It's not fun going through the same text over a hundred times to be able to buy things. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I don't usually outright complain about anything on this blog, but I absolutely hate this. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

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!

 It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the combat system in Honkai Star Rail. As far as I know, Honkai Star Rail is currently the only HoYoverse game that doesn't have an open world combat system. Instead, it has a turn-based system. That means every character, including enemies, get one turn each. Your characters finish their turns, then the enemies each get a turn, and this continues until the battle is finished. Extra actions can be done at any point regardless of whose turn it is. This sounds interesting, but it's actually very boring and tedious. It gets old very fast, and I personally prefer the combat in the other games. The animations are nice, but the voice lines repeat every time, which just makes it worse. I'm not sure what could be done to fix this, especially since it's been like this for a long time now. I just wanted to talk about this because I've been playing Honkai Star Rail recently and the battles just about put me to sleep whenever I have to fight a strong enemy. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I'm sure this is because this game focuses on the story more than anything, it just bothers me. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

3, 2, 1, post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the genders of the Aeons in Honkai Star Rail. For those of you who don't know, Aeons are godlike beings, and they're all canonically genderless. This is likely because they just have no reason to have a gender. No matter how masculine or feminine one looks, they're still genderless beings. However, the one argued over the most is Yaoshi. Even though Yaoshi is one of the most ambiguous Aeons, players often argue with each other over Yaoshi being a female. This is just completely ridiculous, since Yaoshi is actually supposed to look genderless. They have both masculine and feminine traits, and they're noticeably lacking anything that would absolutely confirm their gender. For example, Yaoshi has soft features, but they have a flat chest and somewhat more masculine torso. There's masculine and feminine traits for Yaoshi, so it feels silly to argue about it just because people don't want to say "they". The Aeons aren't humans, so this shouldn't even be an argument. Many people bring up quotes from trailers that supposedly use gendered pronouns, but these are often mistranslated; because the original lines always use the genderless terms for gods when referring to Aeons. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I wanted to talk about this because it's such a silly argument to have over fictional gods who are genderless. Real genderless gods exist in religions, so I don't understand why this is even an argument. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about character types in Zenless Zone Zero. One of the reasons I like this game is because it has such a wide variety of different characters. There are so many unique designs, even if they're just background characters. However, many people believe there are only a few different types of characters in this game. The three main groups are humans, thirens, and intelligent constructs. I disagree with this though. There are a lot of different characters that aren't any of these three things, and it isn't really explained why. Because of this, I think the human category is actually human-like things. Instead of it including only humans, it includes anything that looks like a human, but doesn't fit into the other two options. This would make a lot more sense, especially since other characters are still being revealed. This would make it easier to sort characters until all of them are officially confirmed. 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 talking about the HoYoPlay launcher. It's pretty well-known that HoYoverse is the one who makes Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero. But did you know you can easily download any HoyoVerse game you want on your computer? If you download the HoYoPlay launcher, you can easily download, remove, or update any HoYoverse game you want. Their games are all free to play, so this makes it even easier to play them. You can download the HoYoPlay launcher easily on your computer, as well. I highly recommend this for anyone who plays more than one HoYoverse game on their computer. As always, I'll be including a link for the download page below. Enjoy!

Why are Hatsune Miku, Akita Neru, and Kasane Teto used together so often? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! It's really common to see these three singing together in songs, especially recently. It started with the song Triple Baka, and they've been used together ever since. There are a few reasons why they're used together so often. Firstly, they're recognizable. Their colors also match well together, since they represent the primary colors. Along with this, they each represent something different. Hatsune Miku is a Vocaloid, Kasane Teto is an Utauloid, and Akita Neru is a fan-made Vocaloid. So using them all together is like using every part of the Vocaloid fandom. This is why they're often used for songs even to this day. Since they've been showing up together more often again, I wanted to talk about this today. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

What is Hamtaro? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Hamtaro was an anime series where cute hamsters go on adventures. It's named after the main character, as well. The show only ran for a few years, and unfortunately it didn't do very well outside of Japan after the episodes stopped getting English dubbed. However, it was still very popular in the early 2000's, and you could find it on the internet pretty often. It was another big part of kawaii culture, too. Many people think it faded away and disappeared, but it didn't. In Japan, you can still get Hamtaro merchandise even to this day. Hamtaro is still pretty popular if you know where to look. Since Hamtaro is starting to become popular again, I wanted to talk about it today. I highly recommend it, since it's always been one of my favorite series. As a little bonus, here's a picture from the Hamtaro anime. Enjoy!

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be listing five purple ghost-type Pokemon, along with a picture of each. I haven't listed Pokemon in a while, so I wanted to list a few today. I also tried to include ones I haven't mentioned very much before. Now then, let's get on with the list! Enjoy! 

1.) Gengar

2.) Sableye

3.) Drifblim

4.) Spiritomb

5.) Ceruledge

It's post time! Recently another human-like robot has been created in China. She's extremely realistic, and her name is Moya. Some people are excited, others are creeped out. This is a common problem with human-like robots. Because of this, I think these robots shouldn't look exactly like humans. Instead, I think they should look like anime characters. A big reason why anime is popular is because the characters are attractive. They're like humans, without being an exact match. I think using a face resembling anime would get rid of most of the uncanny valley effect. Not only this, but it would allow things like Vocaloids to get physical bodies so they can perform better and meet fans in real life. I also think there would be a bigger use for anime-like robots than realistic ones; like conventions, meet and greets, or fan gatherings. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why are there suddenly alien cats everywhere? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Alien cats have started widely spreading through multiple fandoms. So what are they and where did they come from? This is actually a pretty easy answer. This started with a Roblox game called Regretevator. It features an alien character called Gnarpy, who also looks like a cat. Their original design is the one seen the most often, but their design has been changed since then. Their original simple design inspired other people to make art of alien cats, and it's spread quickly because of how easy it is. This, along with the edit of the real cat that was made to look like an alien cat, is likely where all of this started. Now there are alien cats everywhere. Normally I would be including a picture of the original Gnarpy below, but their creator is in quite a bit of trouble, and I'd rather not support them. So, I'll be including a picture of their redesign instead. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post! Enjoy!

It's post time! Fans of Animal Crossing New Horizons may notice that there's a bean tossing kit in the seasonal items in the Nook Stop. These beans are for Setsubun, but a lot of players don't know what it's for. Setsubun is a traditional Japanese holiday that's meant to bring good fortune into the new year. It was originally celebrated at the start of spring, and the beans are important to the holiday. The beans are used because beans chase away oni, which are thought to bring misfortune. So tossing beans chases away the bad luck, and then good luck is invited in. There's a lot more to this holiday, but I just wanted to talk about the basics for this post. I highly recommend doing more research on this holiday, because it's very interesting. I only wanted to talk about it for anyone who was curious about the bean tossing kit in Animal Crossing New Horizons, since most players don't know what it's for. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why is Undertale so popular in the anime fandom? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For those of you who don't know, Undertale is an indie game from 2015. It was, and still is, extremely popular. However, it isn't exactly anime. Not even close, actually. Despite this, it managed to become popular with anime fans. Why is this? Well, it's partially because Undertale contains a lot of anime references. This makes playing it as an anime fan kind of like a treasure hunt. The characters also match the anime art style really well. This makes it easy for artists to draw Undertale characters, which just pushes it further into the anime fandom. There were many anime-like animations, as well. All of this makes it seem like it was only a matter of time before Undertale became an anime thing. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time for another new blog post! Today's blog post will be about something I found on the official Pokemon Center website. For those of you who don't know, the Pokemon Center website is where the official Pokemon merchandise is sold. Earlier today I was looking through their plush section, and I found out they have an Eevee collection, which includes Eevee and its evolutions. But what I found, were these cute little purses. These small bags come with a long strap for carrying, and they are shaped like the heads of the Eevee evolutions. There's one available for every Eeveelution, and one for Eevee as well. I really like these bags because they look like something you'd see in the games or the anime. I like when Pokemon releases merchandise that looks like something from the series, because that makes being a fan feel more immersive. I think that's a big part of why I like these bags. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. If any of you are interested in these, they're available on the Pokemon Center website for twenty five dollars each. I'll also be including a picture of all of them below so you all can see what they look like. Enjoy!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the Pokemon Raichu's mega evolutions. Raichu actually got two mega evolutions this time around, which was a bit of a surprise. I didn't really like the Alolan version of Raichu very much, because it looked too soft and different. The mega evolutions look much more like Raichu. However, it also looks a bit too much like Pikachu. Raichu is often overlooked and pushed aside because of Pikachu, since Pikachu is more popular. This is so sad, because Raichu is actually a good evolution! So to see both mega evolutions for it are borrowing design traits from Pikachu is even more disappointing. This poor thing will never be able to get past its pre-evolution. I can understand why it was done, it's just sad to see. I was hoping Raichu would get a unique design when it was finally able to mega evolve, but it looks more like they just wanted to give Pikachu more attention. They're good designs, I just think they could have been better. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. As always, here's pictures of both mega evolutions so you all can see what they look like. Enjoy!

Mega Raichu X

Mega Raichu Y

Why does Doctor Eggman have two names in the Sonic series? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Long-time Sonic fans may remember Doctor Eggman as Doctor Ivo Robotnik, so it must have been confusing when he was suddenly called Doctor Eggman later in the games and animations. However, in Japan, his name was always Doctor Eggman. But when the series was localized, Doctor Eggman sounded too silly, so his name was changed. Eventually they decided to start translating his name correctly, but this was confusing a lot of fans. To correct this, they decided to confirm that his real name is Doctor Ivo Robotnik, and Doctor Eggman was a nickname Sonic gave him to mock his appearance. Doctor Eggman adopted the nickname permanently out of spite, and it's stayed that way ever since. This is still a common question in the Sonic fandom, so I wanted to explain it today. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about what I like about mega evolutions in Pokemon. Mega evolutions have always been popular, but I don't talk about them very often. However, I do like them. Not only is it fun to see what a mega evolved Pokemon will look like, but it's also temporary. I like that it isn't permanent for a few reasons. First of all, I don't think it would be as special if you could see it all the time. Along with this, if you don't like a Pokemon's mega evolution, you can still use it without being stuck with it. There are a few mega evolutions that I don't like, but making them temporary means they can still be used for extra power without ruining the Pokemon forever. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I wanted to talk about this just because I don't talk about mega evolutions very often. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why are cozy games so popular? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Games like Animal Crossing have always been really popular, but why is this? I think it's because games are often used as an escape. Even though cozy games can be boring for a lot of people, they're also really relaxing. It can be nice to have a place to decorate without all the hard work, or to be able to just exist without worrying about work, school, or bills. Even if some cozy games still include things like work, it's done in a more relaxing and less stressful way. I think this is why they've gotten more popular as time has passed. It also gives people a way to have friends or family without worrying about things going wrong. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

How does the VIP room work in Animal Crossing New Horizons? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For those of you who don't know, the new Resort Hotel has a secret special VIP room. This room unlocks after you complete all of the other rooms, and it's for guests invited by an Amiibo. It will need to be redecorated every time a guest is invited, since it's reset every time a guest leaves. Inviting a villager to this room lets them walk around the island like regular hotel guests, as well. Along with this, you can still invite a villager to the campsite if you want to invite two villagers at the same time. This is a good way for people to decide whether or not they'd like a villager to stay on their island if they have multiple villagers they'd like to meet. But remember, hotel guests can't be asked to stay, only campers can. I just wanted to talk about this to explain how this room works, since it is different from a regular hotel room. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Flareon's body heat. Flareon is known for its high temperatures, so a lot of people think it would be a dangerous Pokemon to have. However, it isn't. Flareon can cool itself off by fluffing its fur collar, which releases its extra heat into the air around it. Because of this, Flareon can be used as a natural heater. Many fans also believe this makes it very huggable, since this means Flareon can control its body heat. Although I haven't seen anything about its ability to control its body heat in any of the Pokedex entries, I think it would make sense if it could. This would mean Flareon is a good Pokemon to have in cold climates, or during winter; making it one of the best fluffy companions. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! Recently Nintendo announced that they would be making a real life version of the talking flower from Super Mario Bros Wonder. This flower will say random things throughout the day, and some things will be based on the time of day or the weather. It's not very interactive, it's more like a companion that will randomly say things throughout the day. You can also make it say something by pressing its button. It doesn't move, it only talks. I think it's pretty interesting, it may be fun to have around. Especially since you can turn it off if you need to. It's only available for pre-order right now, as well. The only problem I have with this is, it costs thirty five dollars. I feel like that's a lot of money for something that literally only talks. Maybe if it did something else, it would be worth it. But thirty five dollars for a flower that talks sometimes feels like too much. I think twenty five dollars would be more fair, or even just twenty dollars. But, those are mostly just my thoughts. As always, I'll be including the link for the official product page below for anyone who may be interested. Enjoy! 

The link for the talking flower website page: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/talking-flower-120835/?utm_source=SW-AAA&utm_medium=sotwnoa&utm_campaign=S1021-01&utm_id=S1021-01&utm_content=100009579724208

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Celeste from Animal Crossing New Horizons. Celeste is Blathers' sister. She can appear on your island like Kicks or Redd, and she'll appear randomly. She shows up at night, on nights when there are shooting stars. When she's there, she'll wander around like a villager. Talking to her will get you a DIY recipe relating to stars. When you run out of recipes, she'll start giving you star fragments instead. She's actually pretty useful, so it's always nice to see her. I wanted to talk about this in case anyone didn't know that she still gives you things even after you run out of DIY recipes. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

Why are there human-like Pokemon? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! This may be an odd question, but some fans think it's weird for there to be human-like Pokemon. It's actually normal for the Pokemon world though. Humans are evolved from Pokemon in the Pokemon world, so human-like Pokemon are just Pokemon who aren't quite human. They're still intelligent, some can learn how to talk, and they're closer to being humans than Pokemon. Some human-like Pokemon even used to be humans! Because of this, it's not that unusual for these Pokemon to exist. Although they're still treated like Pokemon, a lot of trainers treat them more like friends. The more human-like a Pokemon is, the more they're treated like a human. Sometimes they're still treated like normal Pokemon, but I think it just depends on who their trainer is. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. With more human-like Pokemon being added to the games, I wanted to talk about this. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I'll be explaining how hotel guests work in Animal Crossing New Horizons. The hotel was a bit confusing when it was first released, so today I wanted to talk about how it works. Firstly, guests can only stay in completed rooms. The main rooms are permanent, but the VIP room will need to be redecorated every time someone stays in it. Each day, one random villager will stay in a completed room. They'll leave after the day is over. There's only one villager per room, as well. The more rooms you have completed, the more villagers can stay in your hotel. However, this doesn't mean every open room will be filled. Villagers invited with an Amiibo can stay in the VIP room, too. As of right now, you can't have permanent hotel guests, nor can you invite regular hotel guests to stay on the island. Those are the basics, so I'll end the post here. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why are mega evolutions so popular in the Pokemon community? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Mega evolutions have been very popular ever since they were first released. But why is this? I think it's because they aren't a permanent evolution. Mega evolutions are also a good way to refresh an older Pokemon without changing its already existing evolutions. It doesn't need an explanation either, since mega evolution can only be triggered under special circumstances. It's fun to see an upgraded version of a final evolution, too. It's also gained even more popularity after so many new mega evolutions were released. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why aren't there any adult Pokemon trainers in the Pokemon games? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Firstly, I'm talking about the player characters specifically. Of course there have been adults throughout the series who are still Pokemon trainers. But there's actually a simple explanation for why the player characters are always children. The biggest reason would be that the games are aimed towards children. However, there's more than that. The games always start at the very beginning of the trainer's journey. It's unusual for people in the Pokemon world to start later in life, so the game always starts with a child. There is one Pokemon game that has the player character as an adult, which is Pokemon Go. However, this isn't a mainline game, and it wasn't aimed towards children. It was created to encourage older fans to explore, which would be dangerous for kids. I think if there's enough of a demand for it, the Pokemon company will eventually make a game that starts with an adult character. Pokemon fans are getting older, and the Pokemon company actually does try to appeal to both older and younger fans when they can. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

What's the difference between a regional variant and a regular Pokemon? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! With the addition of a few different types of Pokemon, it can be difficult to remember what the differences are. The most confusing ones are regional variants, which aren't the same as the original Pokemon. Regional variants are pre-existing Pokemon that have a different form in different places. This is because they're raised in different environments, which changes the way they look, evolve, or act. For example, a Vulpix isn't the same as an Alolan Vulpix even though they both started out the same way. Instead, they're now two different Pokemon. It isn't the same as evolving, since they are automatically different from the time they're born. There are regional variants that do evolve, but that line will still be completely different from the original. But, that's all I have to say about this topic for now. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

The official online Disney store is now selling international merchandise! For those of you who don't know, Disney has previously released merchandise that could only be found in Japan or China. Although things like Tsum Tsums, which are from the Japanese branch of Disney, did eventually get a global release, most of the merchandise doesn't. This makes it very difficult for fans to get Japanese Disney products. But now it's easier! The current section is very small, but hopefully they'll be adding more products soon. I also hope this means they'll be adding things from their Japanese branch, like more Tsum Tsums and some Twisted Wonderland merchandise. Obviously it's impossible to know if the official Disney store will ever add Twisted Wonderland merchandise, but I can still hope! Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

The Animal Crossing New Horizons update has been out for one day now, so today's blog post will be a short list of some of the problems I have with it. I think if fans are more honest with their opinions, maybe the creators will notice it. These are also small issues, so they'd be easy to fix if they ever wanted to. Now then, let's get on with the list! 

1.) You can't get a loan to upgrade your storage. This makes it difficult for anyone who wanted to get a bigger storage right away, since now they'll have to earn the bells first. 

2.) Items are still purchased one at a time. Would it be so horrible for there to be a choice of how many you can buy at a time? This is just a basic game mechanic and they still haven't added it.

3.) Wall partitions still don't connect. That annoying corner gap hasn't gone away, which is a bigger problem now that you have to design the hotel rooms.

4.) The hotel does NOT allow permanent guests. You can't invite current guests to stay, and inviting a guest to stay kicks someone else off of the island. So you basically just get attached to villagers who will stay for one day and you'll probably never see again. What was the point of adding a hotel at all?

5.) You're still limited to only ten permanent villagers. I thought adding the hotel was their way of fixing this problem. But as I said above, it's not. You still only get ten villagers.

The Animal Crossing New Horizons update has been released a day early! This is an unexpected surprise, since people were expecting it to be released tomorrow instead. I won't talk about it too much to avoid spoilers, but so far things don't look too much different. The game seems to still be running smoothly as well, and I haven't experienced any problems with the new additions either. I will say, things like bell vouchers still have to be bought one at a time. This is a bit disappointing. I was hoping being able to craft multiple items at once would mean you could also buy multiple items at once. Buying things like bell vouchers and Nook Miles Tickets has always been a tedious task, so I assumed they would fix it with the update. It's just a small thing though. Everything else looks good, and I'm sure a lot of fans will be happy to see everything that's been added. For anyone who's interested, here's a link to the official Nintendo website explaining the new additions that are coming with the update. Enjoy!

It's post time! The update for Animal Crossing New Horizons will be coming out in just a few days now. Most fans are excited, but even though it hasn't even released yet, some fans are already disappointed with it. They don't want the hotel, or new villagers. I personally don't understand this. I suppose a hotel could look weird on some islands, but it's on the dock and out of the way. It can be completely hidden from the main island area if you'd rather not see it. Not only this, but fans were asking for more villagers for years. A lot of people thought ten villagers weren't enough, and the hotel will allow more villagers to stay on your island. I know you can't please everyone, but I don't understand why this is a bad thing at all. Fans have waited years for this update, and you can really tell that the creators were trying to fix the biggest issues fans had. So for people to already dislike it before it even comes out feels like an insult. This is a major update, and it's free for everyone. Sometimes I don't understand people at all. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

3, 2, 1, post time! Recently, I have realized the creators of Fate/Grand Order do not like men. The longer you play, the more obvious it is. Most of the characters are girls or women, the feminine men are referred to as they/them so their gender is unknown, and some of the men in the game are treated extremely poorly. In comparison, the women are allowed to be anything, even masculine, and it doesn't change anything. This game dislikes men so much that it finds ways to turn men into women. It's actually kind of disturbing. It's gotten to the point where if a character is referred to as they/them, fans already know that character is a man who is either too feminine, or likes men. Men in this game aren't allowed to be anything but stereotypes. It's really frustrating if you prefer the male characters, because they're either going to be ignored or insulted every time they're around. I hope the creators eventually listen to the fans, since I'm not the only one who dislikes this part of the game. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! With the new year finally here, I've decided to see if there has been any new updates regarding Hatoful Boyfriend: Mirror. There hasn't. But I can only hope this will be the year for Hatoful Boyfriend. The creator hasn't given up on this series yet, since new merchandise and new pictures are still being made. Hato Moa has just been taking a break recently, which is understandable because she was helping with Sushi Ben. I can understand why fans would be frustrated about the fact that Mirror still hasn't been released, but I'm sure there's a good reason why it hasn't been yet. Other than the fact it isn't finished, which it wasn't the last time it was mentioned. I can only hope some news will be released soon so we can know what's going on with this game. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! Recently I published my 3,400th blog post. This will actually be my 3,411th post! I usually do a celebratory post on the day, but I had a hard time deciding what to talk about for such a specific number. So for today's blog post, I will be talking about the 34th and the 340th Pokemon. I know the Pokedex numbers can change between games, so I'm basing this on the official Pokedex on the Pokemon website. This is actually a bit of a funny one, because these two Pokemon couldn't be more different if they tried. The 34th Pokemon is Nidoking, and the 340th Pokemon is Whiscash. Although they're really different, they're both surprisingly violent. It feels like this is becoming way too common with Pokemon these days. I'm surprised humans can even survive in the Pokemon world at this point. I do think Whiscash is a lot cuter than Nidoking though, and it has a lot less thoughts behind its eyes too. Nidoking would be good for a cool or strong looking team, but Whiscash would be good for a silly fish team. They both have their strengths, even though they're very different from each other. Of course, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post anyways, and thank you for reading. As always, here are pictures of Nidoking and Whiscash. Enjoy!

Nidoking

Is anime meant for kids? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! It's been a long-running belief that anime is meant for children just because it's animated. Firstly, this is a ridiculous assumption, since even regular cartoons have series that are only meant for adults. Believing that anything animated is automatically meant for children just exposes children to things they aren't ready for. There are anime series that are made specifically for kids, but it's up to the parents to know what those are. The majority of anime isn't made for children, especially the mainstream anime that kids will want to watch because they see it everywhere. There is anime that's safe for kids, but most anime is made with adults in mind. It's important to remember this because entertainment does influence how children grow, and anime with adult themes can really damage a child. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! With the new free update for Animal Crossing New Horizons coming in a week, a lot of fans are getting really excited. I can understand why, since a lot of people have been waiting years for this. Fans are preparing their islands, and they're gathering needed materials for the upcoming update. But remember! Some of the upcoming features are for Nintendo Switch Online only! Not very many of them are, but a few will be. There will also be Amiibo only things, as well. Many of the new additions will be completely free and available though, so anyone can look forward to it! One of the biggest new features will be the Resort Hotel, which will allow more villagers to wander your island. This is a great thing for longtime fans, since people have been saying we needed more villagers on the islands for years now. Of course there are a lot of things being added to the game, I just wanted to remind everyone that some things won't be automatically available. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time to post! Today's blog post will be about child servants from Fate/Grand Order. Now, there aren't very many child servants in the game at the moment. However, the ones that are there confuse me. Of course some of them are just children, but others are adults that look like children. But despite being adults, they are still referred to as children and left with the actual children. Not only this, but Taisui is both a child and an adult, since he can switch between forms. It's implied that he is an adult who conserves his power by staying in a smaller form. Since he's a god, it does make sense. But in the game itself, he's still referred to as a child. It's so difficult to tell which ones are actually children and which ones are small adults because they are collectively referred to as children. It's really confusing and I'm not sure why they did this. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I wanted to talk about this because I've never understood why they did this, even though it's just a small problem. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! With anime's steady rise in popularity, American corporations have decided to cash in on this trend. They do this by taking pre-existing franchises and turning them into an anime. Either through a special movie, or a spin-off series. Firstly, since it's American it technically isn't an anime to begin with. But if you want to ignore that fact, it also isn't going over well. Anime fans don't want it because it isn't really anime, and cartoon fans aren't interested because it isn't the same thing. Not everything can be an anime, and it feels cheap. Not only this, but it's kind of a waste. People pretty much never talk about these after they're released because people just aren't interested. The worst part is, these series would likely do well if they weren't attached to something that already exists. Instead of remembering something as a unique American anime, everyone remembers it as a cheap cash grab. It's so disappointing. I don't understand why companies don't see that original things usually do better. People want original things. And anime fans don't care if an anime comes from outside of Japan as long as it's good. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I wanted to talk about this because it's so frustrating hearing about an interesting show and knowing it won't go over well because they're tying it to a different series. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! A lot of people are excited about the upcoming Animal Crossing New Horizons update. It'll be the first one in years, and it's less than two weeks away now. It'll also be a free update, which is a nice surprise. However, it's important to remember this update wasn't a guarantee. Animal Crossing New Horizons was never supposed to get another update, so the fact that it's happening at all is amazing. If there are things missing from the update, we shouldn't be upset about it. We should enjoy what we do have. This may also open the door for new updates as well, so maybe other things will be added later. In the meantime, we should be looking forward to what will be added, instead of trying to guess about what might be added. We're already getting a lot of new content, so fans should be focusing on that right now. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why are Moomins so popular in the anime fandom? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Firstly, Moomins aren't Japanese at all. They're actually Finnish. Despite this, they became very popular in Japan. Eventually a lot of people started thinking they were Japanese, even though they aren't. There was, however, a Moomin anime that was released in the 90's. It's the most well-known adaptation of the Moomins, and it's also the most popular. People are still watching it even to this day. Even though the Moomins were never Japanese, it's easy to see why it's become so popular in the anime community. For those of you who don't know what Moomins even are, here's a picture from the 90's series. Enjoy!
