The top four games that I want to see in the near future.

No 4: An open world pokemon game.
Pokemon is a popular game in its own right. And with the recent release of Detective Pikachu, it is still highly talked about. So what I would like to see is a game similar to that of Skyrim online or World of Warcraft. Where you can freely walk about, collecting pokemons, building gyms or towns, and challenging and trading with other players. This would be a massive successful game if done right. Minecraft had something similar to this called Pixelmon. But it is sadly no longer around.

No 3: Creepypasta and/or Godzilla Go.
With the success of mobile games like Pokemon Go and Jurassic World Alive, then I wouldn't be surprised if other franchises would try and cash in on their successes. I would like to have two based on the Godzilla and the Creepypasta franchises. Where you travel around and collect the characters.

No 2: A Friday the 13th style game but with other slasher killers.
I love the Friday the 13th game and I want to see other similar games like it in the future. But perhaps one where you can play as other slasher killers from other horror movies (like The Burning, Madman, Nightmare on Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, Child's Play, My Bloody Valentine, and others). And perhaps something like you can create your own slasher killer and even name them as well. But this could just be a DLC for the Friday the 13th game.

No 1: An open world superhero game.
A open world game where you can create and name your own superhero would be amazing. One where you can play with other players and can even form superhero teams. Something similar to GTA online perhaps.

Anime Review: Pokemon

See the source image
Release date: April 1st 1997 - present. (22 seasons, 1020 episodes, 20 movies, 48 specials).

Story: The many adventures of Ash Ketchum as he travels around the Pokémon world with his friends and his trusty Pikachu. taking on foes like Team Rocket, visiting new places, meeting new people, earning new badges, battling Pokémon, and ever reaching for his dream of becoming a Pokémon Master.

My thoughts: This is a really great show for all ages. The Pokémon franchise started out as a series of games from Nintendo which evolved into a card game and then evolved into a successful anime. Everybody wanted to be Ash and his friends when this was first released and there have been fan art, fan fiction, fan made games, and mountains of merchandise. And it has only gotten bigger with the release of Pokémon Go two years ago. Like I said it is a great show and I would recommend you watch at least a few shows.

My score: Five stars.

Game Reviews: Pokemon Go

Image result for pokemon go

Yesterday I had purchased the Pokemon App for my phone. And I have to say that I really enjoy it. The app in question allows you to travel around your local airers and (while using your GPS on your phone) you would encounter pokemons. And you are given the option to either battle them, capture them, or just leave them. I just tried it out yesterday and I had captured five pokemons. They are two Rattatas, a Pidgey, a Staryu (in a forest which was weird because they are water types), A Weedil, and a Squirtle (which I accidently picked as my starter pokemon). And just today I took it around the town and now I got a Pidgeyot, a Clafairy, a Abra, and another Rattata.

I have to say that this is a really good app. It would make walks more interesting for everyone. But sadly there are downsides to this as well. Like the fact that you have to have a clear WIFI and GPS signal at all times. And the fact that there might be pokemons in places that are out of bounds or dangerous (like back alleyways, swamps, in peoples back gardens, etc). And also you'll get stories about criminals who are using the app to locate victims or those who get into accidents. So if you do get this app always remember to look up more often and be weary of other people. Also the fact that you have to spend real money to get Poke dollars so that you can buy more stuff for your back pack.

But apart from that, I love this app. It makes me feel great to walk around my local airer and capturing wild pokemon. I am searching for the ones on my top twenty favourite pokemons list (like Gengar, Muk, and Raichu). Plus its an opportunity for families to go for walks if you have this. You would also come across gyms, pokemon centres, and poke shops along the way (although they are just random things like buildings, statues, ordainments, a pub sign in my case). But unless you are a level 5 or up, you cannot battle others.

So in conclusion, this is a must have for Pokemon fans of all ages. But do be careful about where you go and don't do it at night, while you are driving, or if you are about to do things like crossing the road.

The Score: Five stars and ten happy faces.

What if pokemon were real?

Everyone who is a pokemon fan has always wondered what life would be like if pokemon were real. And I also have been wondering about this. Riding on the back of a Charizard, seeking out a Haunter in a abandoned house, fishing for Magikarp, battling other trainers with a Pikachu, the list goes on. But then I have discovered a lot of downsides of having pokemons in the real life. So theses are the pros and cons of having pokemon in the real world.

Pro 1: The different varieties.
Pokemon come in all different shapes and sizes. From mammals, reptiles, and fish to insects, plants and ghosts. You'll have a lot of different varieties of these creatures to choose from. Also this would give people the opportunity to collect them.

Con 1: Earth's other animals.
Our world has a lot of animals. Monkeys, cows, horses, fish, dogs, cats, and many others. I feel that if pokemon were real, then they would be confrontation with our own animals. Ok there might be times when they could get on well with each other (cows and tauros for example). But then some might end up fighting for space. This would be disastrous.

Pro 2: They would be popular.
I would happy to have a Raichu, a Muk, a Gengar, a Dragonite, a Primeape, and a Lapras on my team as we battle other trainers and gym leaders. And many other people would be happy to have their favourite pokemons with them. And you might have collectors who want to have at least one of every type. You could have zoos, safari parks, farms, ranches, and even circuses.

Con 2: How to house them and move them.
I know that in the games and in the anime that you house them in pokeballs. But then what if you want to have a farm or a pokemon ranch? Then you have the problem of housing them. It would be ok for smaller pokemons like the starters but what about the likes of big pokemons like Onyxs, Rhydon, or Steelix? Then you have to build large barns for them. And then comes the problem of transporting them. Again there are the pokeballs. But then again you have to build special animal transportation carriages for them.

Pro 3: The Battles.
Pokemon are (sadly) used to battle each other in battle tournaments. Usually there is just one trainer against another trainer but most of the time you get things like world cup tournaments where hundreds of trainers battle each other from all over the world. If there are pokemon in the real world then you'll have people battling each other. There have to be some rules to this. First of all you can not battle in public airers (market squares, housing states, streets where there are major shops) and you have to have a judge on hand incase of cheating or misuse of the pokemon that are battling. You could even get gyms and pokemon centres popping up everywhere. Also people would build their own gyms and Pokemon centres as well.

Con 3: Animal rights movements.
There are laws on the mistreatment of animals. Especially those who have been forced to fight each other. And there are many organisations to inforce those laws. How would they reacted if pokemon were real. People like PETA would have a field day prosecuting trainers and gym leaders for a number of reasons.

Pro 4: The trainers.
You would get loads of people who would like to travel the world and battle/collect pokemons. It would be something different to do. Getting people out in the fresh air, meeting new friends, and getting some exercise.

Con 4: The trainers.
In the pokemon world, those who reach the age of ten are legally aloud to start traveling with pokemons. This would not be aloud in our world. Sending ten year olds out into the world on their own with dangerous creatures would not be aloud. It would be wise for them to finish school and then take a special collage course in how to handle pokemon. And then give the person a pokemon insurance, some extra stuff, and then send them out. Better safe then sorry.

Pro 5: They could be more than useful.
Pokemon could be more useful apart from battling. Electric type could power buildings, water types could help firefighters and life guards, plant types could look after the environment, and so on. Although they will need rest and refreshment now and then.

Con 5: The down side of usefulness.
Sadly there is always a downside with everything. Pokemon could be useful for those who want to help others. But what about those who don't. Terrorists and criminals would also use pokemons to their advantages. Terror attacks would have more horrifying results. We could have our own Team Rocket, Team Plasma, Team Galatica, or Team Flare on our hands.

Results:
Well it would be nice if pokemon were real. I would have so much fun with them. But then again I have to take into account the downsides of them being as well. But what do you think? Leave a comment below and tell me what do you think about pokemon being real?
