The constant growing population of online gaming and communication demands a smooth communication application. Currently, there are three major players: TeamSpeak, Discord, and Skype. Each have their own advantages where TeamSpeak and Discord is a server and client system. While Skype is a peer to peer system, which puts more burden onto the user's network. Skype gives the user a one to one experience, but also allows the user to create large chat rooms. On the other hand, Discord and Teamspeak have lobby rooms where many people may join at once. I believe that Teamspeak and Discord will take over Skype due to the flexibility of their chat rooms to be able to hold large amounts of people at once. It gives reliability because the servers are hosted elsewhere, so no ONE person's internet will disconnect the whole call. Therefore, having TeamSpeak and Discord's chat room system versus Skype's more telephone-like system gives variety, flexibility, and a more modern system to fit big groups for online communication.

Major Difference in Pokemon Sun and Moon Versus Older Generations of Pokemon

| The Storage Options in Older Generations |
The Pokemon Storage in Pokemon Sun and Moon
A major change in the design of the Pokemon storage box in the newest Pokemon game known as Pokemon Sun and Moon has improved the experience for hardcore players. In older generations of the game, the storage always had four options: 1) deposit Pokemon, 2) withdraw Pokemon, 3) organize boxes, and 4) organize items. In Pokemon Sun and Moon, that is no longer available because all these four options are very similar and can be condensed into one interface. As shown in the video, players are now able to do all four options to each Pokemon in one interface. For hardcore players such as myself, maintaining 32 boxes of Pokemon requires a lot of time and dedication. The option to be able to easily navigate through all your of Pokemon and organize them is very convenient. This change in the design of the box is good for the future of the game series because Pokemon is a game where players spend time playing with, and against friends in all sorts of strategic battles. No one wants to spend more time looking through a collection of 32 boxes than actually playing the game. Remember every click matters and time is money. "There is a time and placee for everything but not now" quotes Professor Oak. I for one have definitely felt the impact as I continue on with my competitive Pokemon career!
