Posts on Facebook and Reddit are claiming that Pokémon Go‘s first Legendary Pokémon, Articuno, has been caught in Ohio, USA.

Both sites originate with the same, unconfirmed report, but the news has nonetheless excited gamers around the world. Other users have taken to YouTube to show that it’s relatively easy to spoof fake Pokémon.

Data miners have confirmed the existence of a number of (previously) undiscovered Pokémon, including Mew, Mewtwo and more.

We’ll follow up on this story as it becomes available.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
