Same, I see you've been in the same boat I've been on. College shtuff p much.

Do what you feel is right.

Damn, it's been a long time since i've logged on smogon lmao. I've kinda quit competitive battling cause I realized that i really wont get anywhere in life with it. Irl stuff makes it impossible for me to really battle anymore or even stay active in smogon. :/ How have you been doing bro?

Lol, I see Max is more inactive then myself. :(

I'm so happy to hear that Max, that was my goal :). Of course Important real life work comes before this game, and that's what I've learned.

No I don't plan on coming back, but I'll always be checking up to see how you're doing Max, so it's good to hear from you.

I've been pretty busy over the summer so I haven't been playing much pokes. But I picked it up again and i'm really happy about how far i've come, beating big names on the OU ladder and good rankings on many alts. Tbh i've had 3 tutors, but you're the only one who really taught me something that made me improve.

How's life on your end? I'm guessing you aren't planning on coming back soon? :/

hey max how have you been

Pretty good Max, I'm glad your improving day by day.

:D thanks AndViet! I'm trying to sharpen up my team rating skills so I can eventually get a badge. I will take your tips and try my best to put them to good use.

I'm doing pretty good, i finally broke 1400 on the ladder. :) I'm improving pretty steadily. How is life going for you?

Example, you can use my format if you want.

Plus hope you're doing well.

Pointers:

Identify the threats
Identify the problem on the team
Replace the problem on the team
Justify your changes

If you got that you're good.
