Pokemon Go: Sam Clark claims to have caught all UK characters

A Pokemon Go player from Southampton has claimed to have become the first to catch all the characters available in the UK.

Sam Clark, 33, said he has spent "pretty much every waking hour" on the app since it was launched and has lost more than two stone in the process.

He posted a video online showing he had collected 143 of the virtual creatures.

The lifelong gaming enthusiast said he had spent hours walking around Southampton's city centre parks to try and track down the creatures.
