Oh, you like Pokemon? What X speed is your 300MHz eMachine’s CD-ROM drive?
26 years ago today, Pokémon Project Studio Red and Blue were first released for PC in North America!

This program allowed the user to create Pokémon-related projects such as calendars and greeting cards.

Hi & hello — my day job is seeking content marketing writers! As the eventual boss, my preference is for freelancers I know.

Do you have a portfolio of writing popular articles? Can you write with an unmistakable author voice? Knowledge of writing to keywords nice but not necessary! DM me! ❤️

So many memories with this incredible guy, going all the way back to when we used to cover something called “E3” together 😱

Excited for whatever comes next for you Zion 👀
After nearly 7 years working with the team at Nintendo Life, I'm stepping away to try something new ✨

I'll miss my colleagues, this community, and the freedom that Nintendo Life gave me to cover whatever I found important. It's truly been a dream come true, so thank you ♥
