A gamer is making a 15,000 mile roundtrip from his home in Chile to catch Pokemon at a special event in Chester.

David Robles, who lives in Santiago, says: 鈥淢y mum says 鈥榶ou are crazy鈥�. Actually someone on the internet, because many people comment 鈥業 am from Sweden鈥�, so I commented 鈥業 am from Chile鈥� and someone commented 鈥榦h you are insane!鈥�.

The event, taking place over the weekend, has been organized by The Pokemon Company and the UK heritage organization, Big Heritage. Organisers hope it will encourage people to see the city鈥檚 historic sights.

But David says that, for him, this is only the start. 鈥淚n the future I want to go to Australia and to America for special Pokemon because some Pokemon you can only find in a specific region.鈥�
