In the past couple of days, a new mobile game named "Pokémon Go" has taken the world by storm. Children, teens and yes, even adults have downloaded this new game. As a '90s child, Pokémon played a huge role in my childhood and was probably one of my favorite things growing up. Of course, when I heard about the release of the game and that people actually enjoyed it I had to download it immediately.

Right away I was hooked by "Pokémon Go,." It was like a childhood dream come true. Even though having real Pokémon is not possible this is the best next thing. Pokémon fans in America, Australia, and New Zealand have all been introduced to this game. Hopefully with the success of "Pokémon Go" the game will be available to many more countries worldwide.

To my surprise I was actually quite shocked by how many people have been playing the game. Considering I haven't watched or played with Pokémon since I was like 10, I was also surprised by how excited I was to actually play again. This game has definitely done an amazing job bringing nostalgia to my life.

Now I know many people are quite skeptical about what makes this Pokémon game so great, but in its defense this game is so different from any other video or mobile game I have ever played. Not only does this game make you feel like there are Pokémon in the real world, this game also encourages the players to exercise. In the game, the only way you can find more Pokémon is to go outside and walk around like your character had to do back in the old games. Who would have ever thought video games and exercise would go hand in hand?

The game also has other cool features that I enjoy a lot. One of my favorite options available is that you can take pictures of the Pokémon, which means you can even take selfies with them! Another aspect that I find very interesting is that the game incorporates your location into the action. For example, many of the Poké Stops are actually real places in your community like churches and stores.

It is definitely going to be interesting to see how this game will change over time, and how everyone else reacts to the game, but it is safe to say that I am a huge fan.

Time to go catch them all.
