Roberto Vazquez, a Toronto man, spent 3.5 weeks trying to catch all the Pokemon. The unexpected result for Mr. Vazquez was that he lost 11 kg during this search.

According to CBC News, Mr. Vazquez currently owns all 142 Pokemon present in the United States.

“At first, I was just playing like everyone else. But the closer I got to the number I wanted, the stronger my desire to find all the Pokemon became,” Mr. Vazquez shared.

Mr. Vazquez's weight loss case is not the first in the world.

In Finland, a man named Ali Hokk lost 10 kg in just 2 weeks of searching for Pokemon, according to FlashNord.

"Losing weight has been my plan for a long time. Playing Pokémon Go, I noticed that my weight started to decrease," said Ali Hokk.

According to Mr. Hokk, the positive aspect of Pokémon Go is that it makes it easier for people to communicate with those around them while searching for the game's virtual Pokémon.

Perhaps the secret to Pokemon Go is that it gives players, who are usually sedentary and glued to their laptops, a chance to exercise.
