Pokemon Go Player Catches (Almost) Every Pokemon in Game

If you've been playing Pokemon Go since its launch two weeks ago, you probably have somewhere between 50-100 Pokemon depending on where you live and how often you can get to "Pokemon diverse" areas (aka not the Drowsee infested wasteland that is Ohio). However, one player has officially caught every Pokemon that's available to catch in North America.

/u/ftb_hodor, a member of the Pokemon Go community on Reddit, showed off all 142 Pokemon in his collection. According to the Pokemon Go master, he caught over 4,250 Pokemon, had to walk over 153 kilometers and reached Level 31 while completing his collection of catchable Pokemon. Helping him complete the collection so quickly was that he lives near an area of Central Park that has four PokeStops clustered together. You can check out his entire Pokedex here.

Of course, you may notice that he doesn't have a complete collection of the original 150 (or 151 if you count Mew) Pokemon. All four of the Legendary Pokemon (five if you count Mew) are unavailable in the wild in Pokemon Go and it's widely believed Niantic is saving them for special events in the game.

Also missing from his collection are Kangaskhan, Mr. Mime, and Farfetch'd, which are rumored to be somewhat exclusive to certain continents (but still available by hatching eggs). He's also missing Ditto, which has yet to appear in the game and is either hiding as a different Pokemon or being saved for one of Niantic's events.

Still, catching 142 different species of Pokemon is pretty impressive, especially in a two week period. Congratulations to /u/ftb_hodor on his accomplishment!
