Thousands of gamers joined the search -- adventurously and fun-lovingly -- for the virtual Pokemon in Sydney Harbour last weekend. The fanatics of the new mobile game, Pokemon GO, joined together on the first-ever "Pokemon GO Walk" in Sydney. Image: Sheila Lysina (James Lysina)


One of them was Sheila Lysina, a Filo who has been a fan of Pokemon since her childhood. She is one of those who took the long walk to search for the Virtual Pokemon.

 

Nothing extraordinary -- except that Sheila was on the seven month of her pregnancy -- and despite the difficulty in walking, the big event helped her do the much needed exercise, joyfully bonding with her husband.

Sheila shares her experience to producer Cybelle Diones.
