As one of many (probably millions) of lapsed Pokémon GO players, GO Fest 2023 could have easily passed me by. But with the recent launch of Pokemon Sleep and the Pokemon GO Plus+ I've gotten back into Pokemon GO in a big way for the first time since the initial hype back in 2016, and at just the right time, because this was the first time ever that GO Fest took place in the UK, at Brockwell Park in London!

ABOUT KEVIN CHAPMAN
I used to be a daily family vlogger but now all my kids have grown up and left home and I've found myself at 41 years old with a lot more spare time on my hands than I was used to - so it's time to see the world!

Loving the content Kev, hope this channel booms like it deserves to

[@bmmckenzie1]

I found me! Great content dude! Hope you had a good time!

[@Styx771]

I did Saturday there, it was brilliant. Classic British rain and wonderful shinies. It was amazing.

[@frankbombaci4977]

Love British humor and mentality Keep up the great work

[@Soeldner13]

Nice to see such an event. Unfortunately we don't see much Pokémon go action anymore here. Keep up the great videos

[@MoreKevinChapman]

Yeah, I hadn’t seen anything like this since the initial launch hype. It was certainly fun to go and immerse myself in for the weekend!

[@officialdazlaar]

I was at the event and thought to myself, why do I know this guy. Now I bloody realised loool. Hope you had a good day fella! Was a fun day for sure!

[@TinQulion]

ive always loved alakazam, i remember playing pokemon silver on gameboy color and i met someone at summer vacay playing gold, that meant me beeing able to evolve kadabra to alakazam thru trading.

[@mattsrailwayadventures]

I was at Go Fest as well, city play Saturday morning and Sunday, Brockwell Park Sat afternoon. Weather was shocking but had a great time, back to London Saturday for Global Go Fest day 1!

[@adamgreen4810]

I did wonder why you was online so much! 🤣 sent you plenty off gifts! Wish I went!

[@AlexiiRoblox]

I did it on Sunday afternoon it was raining like mad, it was thundering and my family and me were stuck under a tree for like 30 mins.... But it was so fun i enjoyed it so much! We got a lot of merchandise so I'm really happy, I'm a massive pokemon fan! Got loads of shinys, completed all the research. I loved the pokemon bus! ❤

[@DMMoore1313]

I got back into it again when I went home on vacation, because it's an easier area to play in. It's been fun completing years old side quests!!

[@MoreKevinChapman]

Oh yeah, some of the ones I've got outstanding still are 3-4 years old!

[@PirateDrive]

I still see the odd group of people out and about playing on community days but yeah, 2016 was something else. People who weren't even into Pokemon were playing and going out for no other reason than just to play. It was like the act of walking was invented in 2016.

[@MoreKevinChapman]

Playing Pokemon that summer will forever be one of my favourite gaming memories. I wish there was a way to make it happen again.

[@demort5]

Another channel subscribed to wish you all the best Kev followed you for years now. I also started Pokémon go about 2 weeks ago again since the initial release due to exercise reasons and motivation. Favourite Pokémon is Snorlax

[@selexis222]

It’s really hard picking a favorite pokemon, cubone, riolu, rayquaza, and snorlax.

[@freddiegrhm]

Looks like a lot of fun

[@Gbearguy89]

Did Sunday afternoon, loved every single minute of it. I’m a massive Lucario fan.

[@AlexiiRoblox]

it rained like mad didn't it?

[@Gbearguy89]

Sunday was quite dry if I remember correctly.

[@AlexiiRoblox]

@@Gbearguy89 it rained like for half an hour for the first bit of it

[@EmilyWalters]

I loved the vid! I saw you put a Lure on in London during the weekend near some pub. It was so cool to see that many players at raids.

[@MoreKevinChapman]

I put on a few lures across London over the course of the weekend! Was this the one at the pub next to the park? We stopped in there for a drink on the way out of the park.

[@EmilyWalters]

The one I saw was in walking distance of a premier inn. I hope you go to more Pokémon/nerdy events :)

[@MoreKevinChapman]

I’m in London during Global Go Fest, so might film some of that one of the days. Also considering the Barcelona Ciy Safari later in the year.

[@Espeo]

I was at the Go Fest in London too! It was a great, amazing time, just a shame the weather was.. not the best lmao I didn't catch any shinies at the event, however, I did end up getting the Rayquaza from the city raid event and it was a shiny so that more than made up for it

[@MoreKevinChapman]

I got a shiny Rayquaza too - it’s very cool!

[@katrinavoshell2486]

I too stopped playing for a while. There just weren’t many poke stops and gyms in my small city and it was getting ridiculous spending the gas money to drive to a bigger city just to walk around and catch pokemon. I got bored a couple months ago and downloaded it again and there is a lot more in my city now and lots of cool events.

[@craigmcfc1764]

Similar to you i only started playing again recently but the pain of storage 😂

[@MoreKevinChapman]

Yeah, I threw some money at the game before I went to avoid that problem over the weekend

[@craigmcfc1764]

@@MoreKevinChapman fairs

[@Treatrunk]

Favorites are the Abra evolutionary line and the Gibble line.

[@badnews2222]

I was there friday morning. Gutted that I didn't see you. Got like 20 shinies in the end

[@TristanBailey]

Thanks for sharing what the london event looked like. I was traveling that day so didn’t visit.

[@MoreKevinChapman]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@taker31698]

I'm jealous of the shiny dendene, the only one i saw all weekend ran away

[@chrisavelino2201]

Love your video

[@elliotlikesbeys]

Nice video. Chesnaught is my favourite Pokèmon.

[@ligavasara-brakmane4051]

My favourite is Glaceon.

[@Arcane2080x]

My GoFest ticket was Saturday AM for the park :) was a great day even in the pouring rain!

[@MoreKevinChapman]

Yeah, I was doing some of the city wide stuff Saturday morning, it was pretty wet!

[@Arcane2080x]

@@MoreKevinChapman I managed 31 shinies on Saturday, walked 14 miles (31,700 steps).

[@cheeseballs8u]

Will there be one next year ( this summer)

[@thanglv567]

Hi Kevin, love the video, i am pretty i saw you at the park on the day :D How was the next day for you? Also, just curios, what camera did you use for the day? looks like its very compact and no weight to the thing

[@MoreKevinChapman]

It’s a DJI Pocket. Ideal for things like this where I’m very active and don’t want to carry a big camera around.

[@ellietownsend7484]

Rayquaza is hands down my favourite.

[@34Hooper34]

Same

[@benwaters818]

Charmander is my fav

[@theonenonly06]

Didn't realise you were going to go fest 👀 That would have been a nice surprise if I bumped into you. I went down for the whole 3 day event.

[@MoreKevinChapman]

Follow me on Twitter! I tweeted about it loads in the run up to the event!

[@theonenonly06]

@KevinChapmanTravel already do, it probably just got flooded under all the other pokemon tweets 👀🤣

[@crazycat1166]

Algorithm comment to boost new chanel. I did play Pokémon go during lockdown which kept me busy and getting exercise. Im not good with big social events though (autism =crowds, noise ect). Not quite enough of fan to put myself though it 🤣

[@giraffariodev]

i love skitty.

[@dripvegetaultraego8717]

My favorite Pokémon is Mewtwo

[@Joel-B]

Enjoyed the TV show more than the games so my favourite ones were those that had a bit of sass towards Ash, like Chikorita

[@ruttedbobcat]

Kev are you doing Go fest Global at the end of the month as well?

[@MoreKevinChapman]

I’ve got a ticket but it’s the same weekend as AEW All In at Wembley so I’ll be more focussed on the wrestling!

[@xxmearcatxx7716]

Love how this is one of not very many videos Sheepdog is allowed to be in the background just starting at his phone. And of course he is a satchel person rather than a sensible back pack person

[@MoreKevinChapman]

I'll never understand the satchel thing. He's a strange chap.

[@sharvagya]

didn't know pokemon go was still this big in 2023

[@MoreKevinChapman]

Neither did I. It was like being back in 2016 again walking around London at the weekend.

[@carlovercammen1939]

finaly pogo stuff

[@FryV2]

I had the saturday afternoon park ticket just as the heavy rain started. which did ruin it a bit.

[@MoreKevinChapman]

Yeah, I was at a football match over in west London Saturday afternoon and the rain was mad. Not much shelter at Go Fest either…

[@mattquiney8]

Such a pair of nerds. I feel like it 2014 again

[@PokeJake7]

Hey bud! I’m a VERY new channel, something I’ve become really passionate about and I would love to know what camera you’re using to film, it looks small an compact with great quality too! My first video (which is coming this week!) is a mixture of screen records and stills but no decent self filming 😢! But some advice on the camera would be amazing!

[@MoreKevinChapman]

I used a DJI Pocket for this video. It’s not great indoors or in low light, but for videos like this where it’s all outside and I’m moving around a lot so don’t want to be carrying anything big and bulky it’s ideal.

[@PokeJake7]

@@MoreKevinChapman Thankyou so much bud, this as you say is perfect for carrying something subtle and light, but looks like it does a great job, that’s more for what I want when I’m out and about! Thankyou very much for that advice! And loving the 2 vids I’ve seen so far I’ll be definitely keeping up to date with your stuff

[@jc8451]

Commenting so more people see the channel. My favourite Pokémon is…..erm…….Joan. 🤷🏻‍♂️ No idea.

[@MoreKevinChapman]

Joan is pretty good

[@EmmaJones925]

Great Video Kev, I’m a Picachu fan myself boring I know this fits in with the travel theme of the channel mind, aa you did have to travel to London, over 1k followers already great stuff

[@honestjohn7513]

Feed the algorithm comment!

[@VIPmanYT]

This isn’t meant to sound hateful, more helpful. But I think if you’re trying to build a travel audience. Maybe focus on travel content here and use the old channel or something for vids like this. I’ll watch anything as I’ve watched the vlogs for ages and enjoy your personality But I don’t think everyone who would watch travel stuff like going to cities or on holidays would click or watch pokemon stuff may get confusing for KZbin to know who to suggest your content to again. This might do well but I just don’t see it being the same audience as most the other stuff you’re planning, if your plan is travel vids like on the old channel idk just my thoughts / feedback. Something to at least keep an eye on as you don’t want to have the same issue with multiple audiences for different niches on one channel

[@MoreKevinChapman]

The plan is the same as it’s been for the last 6 months - travel videos, events, days out, conventions. Travel for nerds. I don’t expect this video to do well, and that’s fine. The key is I won’t have to see people in the comments asking for the daily vlog to come back or asking where Andy is.

[@VIPmanYT]

@@MoreKevinChapmanfair enough then keep up the good content I hope this channel does do well and isn’t full of people asking for the daily vlog or old content back! 👍

[@Chefarchiepope]

Mewtwo

[@JannaPants]

its just a big house 😆

[@5afety]

Glad you enjoyed GoFest. I also went to London GoFest (my first inperson GoFest). My favorite pokémon is my pfp 😆. I hope that your channel grows in the future because you are a very genuine and nice guy!

[@rebieroo99]

oh it giving you rounte in the app a time sheepdog can use pokemon go as hes chosen map

[@MoreKevinChapman]

He’d still find a way to go to the wrong place…

Travel days please 😊

[@MoreKevinChapman]

There'll be plenty of them when I'm travelling!

Great video Kev. Loving the content. I've always love the gyranados.

Snorlax for me but my son is obsessed with nacli. If you every see one there's an autistic 7 year old here who would go nuts!
