You'd have thought the first person to have caught every single Pokemon on Pokemon GO would be some high-flyer traveling across the globe.

But it turns out one man from Southampton has achieved the seemingly impossible.

33-year-old Sam Clark, who runs Cyberjam Gaming, has amassed 143 characters.

Clark said he has spent "every waking hour" on the popular app since it's UK launch on July 6.

His last catch was a Lapras he found round the back of a Primark.

The achievement stretches beyond the imaginary, as Clark says he has lost two stone from doing the rounds in his hometown catching Pokemon.

"I think I am the first person in the UK to have the full set," he told Mirror Online.

"I pretty much played every hour I could. If I saw Pokemon in the street outside my house in the night I would run outside in socks to chase after it.

"This is the game I've waited for for 20 years. It's taken this long for the technology to catch up.

"It brings people together - there is no competition, everyone is just chuffed if you catch them. It's unreal - when you are in the park you can tell who is looking for them and everyone smiles and waves."

Fair play, Sam. You can check out his video-proof right here.
