A gaming enthusiast is claiming to be the first in the UK to catch all the Pokemon Go characters available in the country.
Sam Clark, 33, has posted a video on YouTube showing his haul of 143 of the virtual characters which he had found while playing the hit game.
Mr Clark, who works for Cyberjam Gaming in Southampton, Hampshire, wrote in his video description: “I think this to be the first full set in the UK but I could be wrong.”
The electrical engineer said that he had spent almost “every waking hour” playing the game since it was launched on July 6, during which time he had walked around much of Southampton and Gosport.
The app is an online augmented reality game which involves finding the virtual characters in real world locations.
In the video, Mr Clark explained that he had collected all of the 142 characters available in the UK, but had also managed to hatch an extra character, Tauros, which is normally only available in the US, from an egg.
