Brenan, 17, says it's those who grew up with the Pokemon game that are most excited about this new craze. In addition to catching Pokemon, users can catch eggs that eventually hatch into Pokemons, or partake in "gym" battles, all reminiscent of the original Pokemon game. The new Pokemon Go app has unofficially landed in Winnipeg, and for Tessa Brenan, a childhood Pokemon fan, it's bringing her childhood dreams to life. Just a few weeks ago, rummaging through some old boxes, he found his old gameboy with the Pokemon game still in it, and it kept him entertained for hours. The new app allows players to fulfil their "childhood fantasies of catching Pokemon in real life," he said.
