"It is a game that has huge physical health benefits, leading you to explore your environment and go that extra mile to make a catch or battle a rival gym."
Once again he's sponsored by Inter City - which is taking him from Cape Reinga to Stewart Island "and everywhere in between' - and today landed in Whangarei.
"I've got about 30 different trains, buses, planes, ferries. The transport's all covered .. But I've only got $1000 to last two months."
While he's got transport sorted, he hasn't got any accommodation planned over the next two months - including tonight - so asked anyone who was keen to contact him on social media, or tom@passiton.nz or donate to his online patreon account.
Over the past year he's bought a camera, drone, lap top and wills tart, a videolog on YouTube, to document all his travels.
"Just anybody that's interested in the adventure I've undertaken. If it aligns with something they'd be interested in then get in touch and help out. With the YouTube channel I'd be happy to do shout outs and advertising and all that stuff."
He said despite the slowdown in publicity, Pokemon Go was still popular and had just reached 700 million downloads.
"It's got 65 million monthly players at this stage, worldwide, 700 million downloads they've just hit, the company that made it has made $1.2 billion in revenue the past 12 months, so it's still huge. It's still the number one mobile app of all time."
He believes the app will be even more popular this summer as new features are added, including player vs player battling and trading.
He said Pokemon Go still had its groups of fans in most towns, all of whom he hoped to catch up with during his travels.
As for the future, Currie hopes to one day make a living off his favourite game.
"I'll keep doing the YouTube channel so if that goes well then can source income from that.
"I would love to travel the world with it because there's Pokemon that you can only get in specific countries of the world ...so my dream, as a Pokemon trainer, is to travel overseas and catch all the other Pokemon."
