Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
It's highly likely that I won't have any internet after Friday. I would appreciate it if we could find the time to battle before then. I've made my team already; when you make yours you can find me either on here or as "dubs" on irc.
OK, so I think the best course of action to take with this mentor program, is to use Gmail. It'll allow us to contact eachother without having to be on the computer at the same time, and it'll also allow me to send you extensive feedback and allow me to attach documents if necessary. If you don't have Gmail, don't worry. It takes like 4(?) seconds to sign up.
And about your post on the Smogon Tournemanet number 7 regarding whether its a 4th or 5th gen tourney...are you blind? Can you really not read what it says on the OP?
