"In the year 1990, Nintendo would receive a mysterious package that would change the trajectory of gaming and pop culture forever. Inside the package was a blue handheld gaming console with two screens and a clamshell design. It was marked as a Nintendo DS. Along with the console itself came three game cartridges: Pocket Monsters Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, the first two words were also formed into a portmanteau: Pokémon. Copyrights and trademarks on the items indicated that they were from anywhere between fourteen and eighteen years in the future."
