Brooklyn ’s Nick Johnson may have just become the world ’s firstPokémon Gograndmaster . He had previouslysnagged all 142 Pokémon usable in the United States , but that was n’t enough for a honest passe-partout . He left about a week ago to trip the world and complete his Pokédex .
In addition to the 142 Pokémon he had already captured , there are four Pokémon only usable in specific region of the world , making a journey of this nature necessary for any completistPokémon Goplayer . ( Though Niantic has not formally confirmed these are regionally specific , it has basically been confirmed by user around the world . ) With a trip to Paris , Hong Kong and Sydney , Johnson has managed to carry out what some conceive unacceptable , and others had n’t really look at doing .
It seems like a crazy thing to do , hire a whirlwind trip across the orb to capture Pokémon , but worthwhile when Marriott was covering his adjustment and Expedia paid for the airfare .

His trip was complicated by arriving in Paris , the first stop on his journey , on the solar day thatNiantic pushed out an update to the appthat made catch Pokémon more difficult than it had been previously . Finding Mr. Mime , only available in Europe , was made special difficult because of that change . But get at a hotel where an employee greeted him in a Pikachu snuggie had to ease his bother a footling .
In Hong Kong , he almost did n’t recover Farfetch’d and had to be raced around in a car by Expedia to keep his trip on agenda .
In Australia , he says there was a genuine dash to at long last capture Kangaskhan , but he made it befall . That put his Pokédex at 145 Pokémon , pull in it the first report complete Pokédex in the world .
