Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokèmon: How are they the same?

You might think that Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokèmon are the same exact thing: a collecting card game. This is not true.

If you look at a Pokèmon card, this is what you will see:

(name of the card) (health)(types)
(name of the attack)(however much damage it does)
(name of the attack)(however much damage it does)
         (special effects)

However, If you look at a Yu-Gi-Oh! card, you will see something like this:

(name of the card)
(level of the card)
(attributes and types)
(optional: special effects)
(attack strength)(defense strength)

I will now discuss the similarities of these two card games.

#1) Collections

One of the main similarities between Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokèmon is that they are both cards for collecting. You mainly buy both of them in mystery booster packs that you do not know what they will come with, but you can also buy them in individual decks that tell you what is in them.

People trade both of them, and trade either so that they can battle each other, or so that they can brag to their friends on how many of the cards they have. シ

#2) Effects

Another thing that these two card games have in common is that they both have special effects that can help you in-game. Even though these effects can vary by game, from poisoning in Pokèmon to summoning monsters back from the GY in Yu-Gi-Oh!.

The effects also both depend on what kind of type the card is, which is the next thing that I am going to talk about.

#3) Types

Yet another similarity between the two collecting games is the different types.

In Pokemon the types are mostly elemental, like fire, water, and ice, but in Yu-Gi-Oh! types are based on what the monster is, so there are fairy, dragon, and warrior types.

The types are kind of like a difference in a similarity of course, so it will also be on my next list, the differences between these two card games.

A Sleepy Sunday

           On Sunday, August 20th, 2017, I woke up very sleepy.  I arrived at church and drew some pictures.            During one of the speaker's talks I fell asleep singing to myself. My Mom woke me up to clean up some notecards that were on the floor.           I then fell asleep again on my Mom's lap. When I woke up it was time for me to go to Primary.  I was the only one in my class so we watched a movie.            During that movie I fell asleep three times. Next I went to sharing time and singing time. I fell asleep once during singing time and twice during sharing time, which means I fell asleep 8 times in all. When I got home I was cold even though it was summer. My Dad read my temperature. I was sick!         I rested and the next morning I was fine and I ate a lot of breakfast and went to school.

Lego Ninjago 70653 Firstbourne Review

          One day I was looking through the LEGO Ninjago sets on Amazon and I spotted something I didn't see every day. Firstbourne, a $70 dollar set in the US, was selling for only $45!            Of course I immediately bought it, because, as many will know, I have been a big Ninjago fan since 2013. I had not picked up any dragons before this one, so it was a welcome change. Also, at 800+ pieces, this should have been at and 80 dollar price point in the first place.            Anyway, you've got the story, now for the review. This set comes with Kai, Cole, Chew Toy, Jet Jack,  Muzzle, and Heavy Metal. Unfortunately, all of these come in another set, so no minifigures you can't get elsewhere. As far as function goes, this set is pretty great. It comes with a helicopter with stud shooters and a gear that you can spin to move the rotor, which I think is exclusive to this set. I forget. Anyway...
