When Pokémon GO came out, we started seeing photos of huge gatherings in and around Montreal Parks. But the most impressive pictures always seem to come out of the same spot.  It's no wonder this place is so popular, the area has at least 4 Pokéstops and 2 gyms. Which means there are plenty of Pokémon to catch and there are lots of opportunities to battle other Pokémon trainers.

This has become known as the single best place to play Pokémon GO in  Montreal.But If you're looking to catch even more, you can always hop on one of these bus lines:

Oh yes, prepare your ears for yet another Pokémon GO article! However, this isn't your typical Pokémon GO article. Based on personal experience I can honestly say that Pokémon GO is bringing us Montrealer's together. Not only have I witnessed this but I have also lived it.

It is fairly known that Montrealer's don't necessarily talk to one another randomly but Pokémon GO is changing that. As more and more people are playing Pokémon Go, more and more Montrealer's are socializing with one another. Half the time the conversation goes even beyond Pokémon GO! It may seem stupid and yeah some of you will comment that this is dumb but I honestly think it's a great side effect that came along with the fun of Pokémon Go.

Yesterday we must've spent 2 hours looking through the French versions of Pokémon. We just couldn't help it, it was fascinating.

Not only because someone actually took the time to rename 726 Pokémon, but we were trying to figure out why some had completely different names while others just had an added "é".

If there was one choice that defined the childhood of anyone born in the 90s and beyond, it was this: Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle?

Ever-pressing and rife with repercussions, the choice between a grass, fire, or water-type is still made by kids and adults alike today, as Pokémon is still alive and thriving, even twenty years after its North American release.

From the early days of playing Duck Hunt on the original NES, all the way to Super Smash Bros. parties with friends today, video games have been part of many of our daily lives for as long as we can remember.

Which is why an entire event dedicated to retro gaming is such a beautiful thing.

Did you grow up with Pokemon in your life?

If you're 35 or younger, chances are you owned some Pokemon cards. The good news is that unlike Beanie Babies, some rare Pokemon cards have skyrocketed in value.

If you were a kid in the 90s, nothing will blast you with a Water Gun (or Hydro Pump) of nostalgia quite like a trip down Pokemon memory lane. Hell, if you were born anytime after February 27th, 1996 until now, then you definitely went through a major Pokemon obsession.

And it's time to relive all that Poke-love you've been storing up since you put your Pokemon training days behind you.

Incase you somehow haven't heard about Pokémon GO (which is almost impossible because it's been all over everyone's newsfeeds) it's the new app that will let you become the world's greatest Pokémon trainer...in real life! That's right, Nintendo has created an app that will use GPS location services to track digital Pokémon and alert you when there's one is near you so that you can go out and catch it. This is possibly one of the greatest inventions of all time.

Now, the only thing you'll have to worry about is where to find these Pokémon , and since the game doesn't come out until 2016, we went ahead and predicted where you'll be able to find Pokémon in Montreal.
