A New York man is unofficially the first Pokemon Go player to catch ’em all.

Nick Johnson has become the first to catch all 142 Pokemon characters in the North American version of the game.   Johnson, who is currently employed and works 50 hours a week, says he spent his nights over the past two weeks playing the augmented reality game on his phone. He says his childhood love of Pokemon and his interest in how the game works is what drew him to it. But he also admits that it was a good excuse to go outside for long walks every night and claims to have walked 129 miles and lost eight pounds. (PCmagazine)
