As you walk around your city, you'll find Pokémon hiding in all sorts of places — in public parks, on the sidewalk, and at the beach.

As it turns out, people have been finding Pokémon is some pretty strange and hilarious places, too. And, because it's 2016, they've been posting these fabulous pictures on social media for the world to see.

Take a look.

Someone accompanied their mom to the hospital, when they just happened to notice an Ekans was there, too. Alright, this is a little heartless, but we can't really blame them. I mean, someone has to catch it, right?

Pokémon aren't just hiding inside public buildings, either.

Not that we officially recommend this in any way or anything, but we kind of admire this dude's dedication.

Since 'Pokémon GO' uses a city's landmarks as part of the game, some people were worried about whether it would work in rural areas. An abandoned hot dog stand is kind of a landmark, right?

We also appreciate the creative naming of Bidet, the Squirtle someone caught in their bathroom.

Would it be too cruel to name this one Sushi, then?

This Goldeen clearly must be named after Ice Cube, America's finest rapper/"Law and Order" actor.

Someone else found a Magikarp at the gym that definitely skipped leg day.

If there's one thing people love more than Pokémon, it's pictures of their own dogs. We're happy "Pokémon GO" is enabling these two worlds to collide so spectacularly.

Forget that old meme of unlikely animal friendships, because there's just no topping a dog being friends with a Pidgey. We can all go home now.
