Toronto, Aug 20 (IBNS): The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE), which began on Friday, added Pokémon Go to its long list of attractions.

There are 31 Pokestops and four Pokémon gyms to bait the digital creatures such as Venusaur, Charizard and Pikachu.

Toronto born, 25-year-old Andrea Schwiz said, “When I was a child, we often came to the Ex with family or school friends. But as I graduated, I lost interest. However, I am surely going over this weekend because of Pokémon Go .”

Virginia Ludy, General Manager of CNE,  believes Pokemon will surely boost up the festive spirit of the Exhibition. “They're at different attractions around the site —  the midway, the Rose Garden, Bandshell Park." she said. "Everyone seems to enjoy the game so might as well join them," she added.

The 138th edition of the exhibition opened with a colourful ceremonial procession on Friday and will continue until September 5.
