“Pokémon Let’s Go” Review

Many fans were apprehensive of the new Pokémon titles for the Nintendo Switch when they were first announced. Most fans were eagerly awaiting a new main series Pokémon game when these remakes of Pokémon Yellow were announced. Further, these new games seem to add Pokémon Go game mechanics to the Pokémon Kanto storyline, a radical departure from the main series games.

Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! were criticized for being too easy, catering too much to casual fans who first got into the series with the mobile app game, Pokémon Go. These games, some long-time hardcore fans claimed, were simply trying to cash in on the Pokémon Go craze. They had nothing to offer real fans of the series.

Despite these criticisms, I was excited for this new take on the Kanto region storyline. This is the first Pokémon experience for Nintendo Switch (aside from the Pokken re-release for Switch and the Switch port of the free mobile spin-off game Pokémon Quest, whatever the heck that’s supposed to be). I was excited to start capturing Pokémon and collecting gym badges on the Nintendo Switch, even if it is a watered-down version of the series. Plus, the Poké Ball Plus controller looked like a lot of fun. I couldn’t wait to return to finally return to Kanto after so many years

BellaBeat Leaf Review: Getting Started With the Leaf Fitness and Health Tracker

The Leaf by BellaBeat is a health and fitness tracker designed especially for women, and it is my favorite fitness tracker among those I have tried. It is stylishly designed to look more like jewelry than like a fitness tracker. There is no screen and it syncs to an app on your smartphone. It is simple to use and stylish enough to blend into your everyday work wardrobe, so you can track your activity throughout the day.

Not only does it track your activity levels, it can also predict your stress levels, track meditation progress, and track your menstrual cycle via the accompanying BellaBeat Health app, which is available on iPhone and Android. The Leaf is designed especially for busy women and helps you to live a healthier life.

While there are some aspects of the BellaBeat Health app that could be improved in future updates, the Leaf, with its accompanying mobile app, is a solid fitness tracker that seamlessly fits the lifestyle of busy women.

The 10 Best Yuri Anime Series

Yuri is a term for Japanese anime and manga featuring lesbian relationships as a main plot point. Yuri focuses may focus primarily on the sexual orientation or the romantic orientation aspects of the relationship, or sometimes both. Yuri is also sometimes called shōjo-ai, or “girls love,” by the Western fandom

Yuri as a genre has its roots in the Japanese lesbian fiction of the early twentieth century. However, it wasn’t until the 1970s that lesbian-themed works began to appear in manga. More Yuri-themed content began appearing in both manga and in anime in the 1990s. Yuri anime and manga continues to be popular with both male and female fans.

Many Yuri anime series focus primarily on the romantic aspects of the relationship between two female characters. These series may feature relationships between two younger girls, such as middle schoolers, or adult women. These types of anime series are suitable for all ages. There are also “adult” series that are more focused on the sexual aspects of such relationships between adult women, which should only be watched by adult viewers who are interested in watching that type of series.

Elfen Lied – Anime Review

Elfen Lied

Here is a review of the anime series, Elfen Lied, that I wrote. This is one of my favorite anime series, and I have watched both the dubbed and subbed versions several times.

A Review of the Anime Elfen Lied

Though many reviews of the anime series Elfen Lied on the Internet criticize the series as being little more than senseless violence and nudity for the sake of shock value, I have found that there is much more to this series than the surface level shock content. Elfen Lied is an excellent anime series about the darker, and often inhumane and inhuman, side of humanity.

Elfen Lied is a short anime series about a race of mutants, called Diclonii. Diclonii, as a species, are highly motivated to kill human beings and destroy all of mankind in order to create a new world for their own species. Diclonii are mutated humans who are born to humans who have been infected by a Diclonius. The main physical differences between Diclonii and humans are that Diclonii have two horn-like protrusions coming out of their heads, as well as invisible “arms” called vectors, which they can use to manipulate objects around them. Diclonii often use their vectors to kill their human victims.
