Pokémon Meet-Ups and Black & White 2 Launch Events in Canada

Are you looking for reasons to meet up with other Pokémon fans aside from the Video Game Championships? With the release of Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2 around the corner, Nintendo has some plans in the works to promote the game. Canadians in the following areas can meet up and receive free swag while hanging out and trading or battling with other trainers. Additionally, those in Montreal and the Greater Toronto Area will get launch parties to celebrate the game with activities and of course copies of Black 2 and White 2 to play. If you’re thinking of attending one, let us know in the comments!
