It’s Video Game Week here at SB Nation, and in the midst of my playing Pokémon Sword, I had a half-baked idea: “What if the Habs were Pokémon?”
In the interest of saving myself a lot of time, I’m opting to limit this task to the first 151 Pokémon created, because otherwise I’d likely be spending the better part of a month attempting to research all of this. What follows is the ruminations of a 29-year-old adult channeling his 10-year-old self to help fill this long void between games of hockey. So please enjoy the Montreal Canadiens as Pokémon!
