Pokemon GO has dominated the collective imagination for three months now, rekindling memories of youth for children of the 90s and reawakening the spirit of playtime for other generations. Some have argued Pokemon GO fascination borders on obsession with a suggestion that obsession is something new. Here at the Game Obsession Expo in Mannum, we're being reminded that obsession predates Pokemon and will outlive it too. But can it be healthy? Let's find out with the man behind the expo, secretary of the Mannum Show, Gavin Pitman.
