The Pokémon World Championships is weeks away from starting and, after qualifying for the tournament, the Argentine player “Martogalde” chatted with geeky culture about his achievement and how is the day to day of a player of pokemon go competitive.
Martin “Marto” Galderisi traveled a glorious path at a competitive level before the covidwhich had it as the top 1 in the world ranking of the web The Silph Road, where different communities organize unofficial and face-to-face tournaments. However, the passion for Pokemon comes from before “I always liked it and when it was announced that I was going to be able to catch Pokémon in real life, it blew my mind, I needed to play it. I started, but in 2017 I left because I was bored, until in 2018 I came back”commented on its beginnings.
“It’s a pretty big change. Before the tournaments were put together from the pocket of the community and the dream was always that they become official. Perhaps, since four years had passed since the launch, it had lost the desire a bit, and the pandemic just hit. Now that they are official, it is crazy, it was not expected to be announced.confessed about the competitions of the game of Niantic.
Precisely, in relation to the developer and the news of its product, the Buenos Aires native expressed: “It’s complicated. I feel like they always have that challenge of keeping players and attracting new ones. I think the future is in PVP and it’s going to be up to them to keep the game fun and refreshing.”. To complete, he gives his opinion of what they should polish: “Pokémon Go has bugs that ruin the experience and the frustration of its public is due to that. Part of the problem is that they don’t have communication with us, so we don’t know where they put their resources or their address.”.
For those newer or those with a more casual style of play, martus recommends these keys to improve in PVP: “There are streamers and youtubers who teach you basic and advanced things, with a lot of content. Also, you have couches that help you improve your level personally”.
Qualifying for an international competition is, for any player, a very special feeling and for our representative in the Pokémon World Championships is not very different. “A lot of things in the game can change, I’m going to try to prepare as best I can. Just now I’m assimilating that I’m going to go to a World Cup “asserted the young man who has Azumarill as one of his victory cards.
Regarding his preparations, the young man commented: “I can think a lot about a team, but if everything (the meta) is changed, I’m going to have to change it back. I play Go Battle League every day and maybe I’ll join a tournament to practice, but I’m still not very sure what I’m going to do “.
To end, Martogalde explains why he became champion in the Pokemon Go Championship Series disputed in Mexico: “I don’t know either. I made my team the day before, I didn’t prepare much. I had played a tournament in Chile and I left in the first round, but for this I chose a team with which I felt more comfortable. I still can not believe it”. However, the humility it brings is noticeable: “I feel like any result is going to be fine. Obviously the dream is to be a champion, but it is very difficult “. How do you think he will do between August 18 and 21 in the Excel London of London?
