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.

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...
