Samir has been covering news, curating listicles, and compiling guides at Sportskeeda as a Pokemon gaming journalist since a year. Incidentally, this franchise is what got him into video games in the first place.

After completing his Bachelor of Social Work course, Samir decided to honor his love for gaming and writing, getting inspired by the success of content creators like Shroud, Chad, and chocoTaco. For content creation, he combines in-game research with a thorough fact-checking process to ensure that his articles are relevant and accurate.

Samir encountered the Pokémon franchise as a child, so it holds nostalgic value for him. He is a regular player of Pokémon GO and Scarlet and Violet, but MMO games have recently caught his attention. Given a Jumanji-type scenario, he would dive head-first into Palworld to tame the gun-wielding monsters.

In his free time, Samir can be found writing songs, reading books, or playing with his dogs. He is also an avid traveler who finds joy in exploring the unknown and making new friends.
