Memory Pak: My Nostalgic Sonic 2 Playthrough Was A Treasured Gaming Moment © SEGA Its a big anniversary year for various Nintendo franchises, but its easy to forget that its also a whopper for SEGAs mascot, with June bringing the 30th Anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog. Well have various articles celebrating that milestone, but a little ahead of time I thought Id share a fun memory I have with the franchise; I suspect many have had similar experiences.

Memory Pak: Taking My First Starter Pokémon All The Way To The Elite Four Game Freak My first Pokémon was a Chikorita named Chicky, and I loved that tiny green horse-thing with all my heart. I came to Pokémon a little later than many of my friends and peers, having missed out on Pokémon Red and Blue by not owning a Game Boy, but I spent many hours watching others wander around Lavender Towns creepy little graveyard, or showing off Pikachus smiling face in Pokémon Yellow. I knew I wanted to...
