Samuel Otero

Samuel Otero is the creator of the Android/Flash game Pokemon Tower Defense released in March 2011. Due to a recent interview with Sam, He stated how he came up with the idea for Pokemon Tower Defense, saying:



"I really like Pokemon and always wanted to make a Pokemon game but was discouraged from finishing them due to various reasons. When I got into the Android Marketplace I noticed a lot of apps that used Nintendo Characters or other characters so I though why not. The game started originally as a virtual pet simulator. I started planning it out on paper and I realized it was going to be a lot of work for just a pet sim, and at the time I looked at what the most popular paid game was. It was a tower defense game so I immediately thought about capturing your enemy and leveling up your towers like pokemon."

On a side note he has been confirmed to have a 3DS.

Sam is 25 and works as a programmer at home. His email is sotero86@gmail.com and other than a picture of Sam, this is the only information known about Sam right now.

It is also said in one of the PTD Fanforum chats that a Sam Otero Sprite created by the twitter user, Mario18010, will indeed be in the game, confirming that Sam himself will be in Pokemon Tower Defense. His avatar is in Rocket Hideout when you battle him.
