What tier do you want to learn?: (lol i forgot the tier...BW UU/OU) I want help with advanced team building and making turns to benefit you in the long run. Overall battling.
Tell us a little about yourself: Hey, I'm Rajan. I started battling late DPPt after the Salamence and Garchomp bans. I'm a junior in high school, but luckily that's almost finishing. I'm captain of debate and mock trial teams, and volunteer at a Kumon center (tutoring place). I attend the Magnet program at my high school. I'm a nice guy, and am fun to talk to. I really want to learn! :D.

Ps, I had Lamppost in the last round, and he was great. However, we didn't get to battling nearly as much as I'd have liked to, and I really want to get to that.

What tier do you want to learn?: BW UU/OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I have been into competitive battling for a while now, and I want to see how far I can get. I have got a fair grip in current OU with my rain team but thats it, I would like to build balanced and stall teams and haven't been successful yet. I think I need help from a better player in practice because while I am capable of putting my own spin on successful teams I never seem to do well with them. As for UU, I never quite got into it last gen and I don't know where to even start right now, my attempts of getting into it so far have been failures and I would like to play well in a tier besides OU.

In real life im a junior in high school, and im loving it. Even though im techincally preparing for 3 AP math classes next year, im not being overloaded with work at all, my teachers are all fun and my friends are always hilarious- they pull funny pranks all the time.

Tell us a little about yourself:I've played Pokemon since RBY but only got interested in competitive since Gen IV when wifi was introduced. I'm decent at predictions but not so much at team building since I have a lot of quirks I indulge in like refusal to use weathers and legends. Also, a semi-competitive Team Fortress 2 player :D

Tell us a little about yourself: I'm decent in battling (actually, I peaked at #28 on Smogon's server at one time). I want to learn how to build better teams because I've been in a pickle ever since I retired my Dual Screens Hyper Offense team. Some help regarding prediction in battle would also be appreciated. I'm a Sophomore with a love for Physics and other random stuff like techno and Mario Kart.

Tell us a little about yourself: I'm a 19 year old college sophomore who enjoys watching football, playing competitive Pokemon, and spending time with friends/family/etc. I would like to learn about team building and in-battle strategies from an experienced battler in either the BW or the DPPt Standard OU metagame. I'm already familiar with most of the basics of competitive Pokemon, but I think I need help improving my overall level of skill and learning about more advanced concepts.

Tell us a little about yourself: Hmm, what can I say about me.. Oh, I won't say I live in France otherwise I will be trolled .-. . I play since mid-DPP period, with a few breaks in pokemon. That I'd like to improve is my teambuilding and stuff. I had a decent level in DPP OU, I reached 1572 cre on Smogon University OU ladder on SB and I went into semi-finals in one of Smogon Tours this season, but nowadays I suck at teambuilding etc.. . I want to be better, that's all.

What tier do you want to learn?: BW OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I have been battling competitively for about three years now, and I have been playing pokemon since september 1998. I am a junior forensic chemistry major at Penn State University where I created The Intercollegiate Pokemon League. I was pretty decent in gen 4, but I cant seem to get the hang of gen 5 and I would really appreciate any help I can get. I somehow managed to win a random BW OU tournament on the smogon server, but I find it difficult to keep my team above even 1200 CRE. It would mean the world to me to be able to have the team and the skill to consistently earn 1500+

Tell us a little about yourself: I want to brush up on my teambuilding/prediction skills because I've always had trouble with them. I also want to learn how to "analyze" opponents' teams during team preview better. Personal info: My name's Matt and I live in New Jersey; I enjoy playing golf (on the HS team) and basketball and video games (best at Black Ops). I think that I'm easy to talk to and will be able to go on most times if I'm not playing golf. Also I made voting reqs for BW Little Cup.

Your timezone and usual hours of availability: GMT + 8. It's summer here for the next.. 3 weeks or so, so I'm generally available most of the time for the most part. From around 10 a.m to 12 p.m.
What tier do you want to learn?: BW OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I've been playing Pokemon since R/B/Y (IIRC it was my first RPG), however I've only been trying out competitive for a year. I always fail to create a team that I find success with, most likely due to my inexperience. My prediction skills are also mediocre. I'm certainly not good at all yet with this, but I'm eager to learn and to play.
As for myself, I'm a student living in the South Eastern part of Asia (Philippines to be precise). I'm in love with video games, literature, writing, and film. I'm not that outgoing, however I do consider myself to be very hyperactive and enthusiastic, and friendly with most people. Hope I can get tutored!

Your timezone and usual hours of availability:GMT -5. I'm available most nights after I finish homework and everything (after 9 or 10, maybe), but whether I'm available varies day to day- sometime between 7-ish and 12-ish. I'm also free most weekends.

What tier do you want to learn?: Mostly BW UU- I've enjoyed the tier a lot since it was opened, but also BW OU as I play OU a bit too.

Tell us a little about yourself: I'm a nerdy Jewish kid from Ohio. Not much to say... I swim, play golf, and do a bunch of school groups, so I don't always have tons of time, but a few months ago I started battling competitively on PO in my spare time. I'm decent, I guess, I've taught myself prediction and such but I'd really like to bring my battling skills and my teambuilding, especially, to the next level. I tend to make teams a lot because I rarely can make successful teams (I currently have 1 good UU team and maybe 4 OU teams that work well) Just looking for someone who can help me improve!

What tier do you want to learn?: VGC 2011
Tell us a little about yourself: I only use Pokémon I like. I like to think outside the box and try Pokémon that are overlooked, like Zen Mode Darmanitan and Haxorus. But I'll use overused mons if I really like them. I personally don't like simulators, and I think that they take a lot of the fun out of the game and are a bad representative of the actual metagame, but I am quite willing to use a simulator for the sake of testing out teams before I breed them in the actual game. No sense breeding it if it's not a good team, right? When I play, I can never win. I always have to ask other people what to put on the team. Even after then, I don't have the instinct that all the other battlers seem to have.

Your timezone and usual hours of availability: GMT. I play most evenings (from 7pm onwards) and weekends whenever I'm free.
What tier do you want to learn?: 4th Gen OU (if time allows, and at the tutor's discretion, perhaps moving into the 5th gen basics)
Tell us a little about yourself: I started battling mid summer 2010 when Salamence was just getting banned and I've never really settled into the OU metagame. I've recently hit a block and I can't seem to grow as a player anymore - I suspect due to my poor knowledge about the metagame.

Outside of the internet, my hobbies include cycling, squash, badminton, casual football (or soccer...), and I have on occasion done some stand-up comedy at a local bar which I really enjoyed. I consider myself easy to get along with and good company to boot.

What tier do you want to learn?: Bw OU/ Ubers. (prefer OU)
Tell us a little about yourself: Well, I've been playing pokemon competitviely for about a year now, In that time I managed to get a decent grasp of gen4 and was starting to get quite good at it when gen5 came out. I was tutored by Mekkah for while and he did a pretty damn good job of brining me from a noob to somebody who could battle competently- so I realise it's a bit greedy asking to be tutored again, but I'm really struggling with the transition to gen5. I would say I'm a competent battler, I'm not great and I've never broken 1250 on the laddeer, closest I got was around 1235. My main weaknesd is teambuilding, I have the basics of battling but I need a lot of fine tuning to push me up. I've tried practice and there just seems to be something missing y'know?

Tell us a little about yourself: I am an average nerdy teenager who plays pokemon. I am actually good at it but not quite 1450+ material on the ladder. I am new to UU however. I respond well to details and constant practice. Lately I have been getting better through obvservation and test battles that are taken seriously.
