About MattSimplified
I'm Matt Oxlade, the Pokémon GO player behind MattSimplified. I've played since launch day in 2016, and since November 2024 I've been making guides that cut through the noise for casual, new and returning players.
Every week I go through the events, raids, research and news, then boil it down to what's actually worth your time. No jargon, no spreadsheets, just straight answers from Brisbane, Australia.
