love your content and energy Matt! im a new player and I get lost when it starts to become too technical. i also like it when you suggest who is a MUST and who is okay to skip - thats why your channel is called Mattsimplified! VERY appropriate! Keep up the great work!

Thank you for these videos. I just started playing with my fiancé a month ago and I've used your channel as a guide for both of us. This game has givin us something to do and has gotten us out of the house every weekend.

I'm new to Pokémon GO and I play it with my son. Seven months ago, I didn't know anything about Pokémon. I find that most YouTube channels about Pokémon GO are too advanced for me and not very interesting. However, this channel is perfect for beginners like me. Thank you for the great content, Matt!

I totally appreciate you candor surrounding POV of whats important and not so important in the game. You don't hear that kind of honesty coming from most content creators.
