  copyright: Pokemon is property of Nintendo and Gamefreak, all rights reserved. brevity and ethics: i have no affiliation, im just a fan. Today, Nintendo celebrates a remarkable milestone: Pokémon , the monster-catching adventure RPG, turns 30. Thirty years of exploring worlds, catching creatures, facing God-like beings, confronting shadowy mafias, and even taking on terrorists a franchise that has truly done it all. I wanted to take a moment to look back at some of the stories that have stayed closest to my heart over the years, reflecting on the games that shaped my experiences though I’ll be skipping Generation 4, as it doesn’t hold the same personal connection for me as the others.

But I did grow up watching the Pokémon anime, and I absolutely loved it enough that my brothers took notic...

It’s practically a gaming rite of passage. Like many players, my formal introduction to the series came through Ocarina of Time . Yet I vividly remember the moment I first experienced the original the grandfather of Hylian, “definitely-not-an-elf” adventures. My entry point, however, wasn’t an NES or an SNES. It was the Game Boy Advance. Picture it: Christmas morning, the mid-2000s. My grandmother knew I loved video games, even if she didn’t quite know which ones. What she did know was that I “had a Nintendo,” and that was enough. Under the tree were a few new games and among them was the Game Boy Advance re-release of the very first Legend of Zelda . At the time, I didn’t realize I was unwrapping a piece of gaming history. I just knew I was about to begin an adventure, one that, decades later, s...
