It looks like we have a Pokémon master on our hands. Can we get a round of applause for New Yorker, Nick Johnson? Possibly a physical therapist for his predictably aching hands, arms and legs? Johnson notes he is the first person to collect every Pokémon for Pokémon Go in the states, according to his Reddit post. This means he successfully filled his Pokédex with all 142 Pokémon known to reside in the United States. Technically he is still missing a few little buddies in his Pokédex but relax. He's still a hero in the eyes of those who haven't accused him of cheating. Can't the man just live?

The Pokémon still on the loose are either roaming around internationally or reside in a location that's not yet known, Business Insider also notes.

Of course, we all want to know how he did it. It took massive amounts of determination in our opinion. Johnson would begin his trek right after work which he says sometimes lasted up to eight flippin' hours! How do your fingers not fall off at that point? Honestly, we get it, though. Put us in a mall and we'll walk around for the same amount of time. The master says he'll "probably sleep more" now that his quest is over, and we fully support that choice.

As we mentioned, some of the remaining Pokémon can only be found in faraway destinations like Austrailia, New Zealand, Asia and Europe. What's he going to do to truly catch 'em all? Look for someone to sponsor his world tour, of course. Get it! Flip through his Pokédex screenshots above and prepare to be more motivated than ever to live your Poké-dreams.
