Your timezone and usual hours of availability: GMT+10(Currently DST so +11) I can get on at almost any time.
What tier do you want to learn?: BW OU or BW UU maybe a bit of BW LC depending on tutor.
Tell us a little about yourself: Used to be well known around here. Then I never got into the BW metagames. So I'm back and hoping to get better.

Have signed up for a tutor on numerous occassions and never gotten one. (I think 4 times over the last 10-15-ish rounds. (Part of why I left, found it too difficult to play myself into the new metagames.) Also signed up in the old R58 thread.

Can I request one of the tutors I don't know well? If I wanted informal-esque help I wouldn't be in B101.

Tell us a little about yourself: Noo! My set of random comments in the previous thread are gone! Anyways, here's a few old ones I could remember, and a few new ones I tossed in. if you type "now" on IRC, you might accidentally highlight me. One Piece is the best of the Big Three. Canada will forever be afflicted by the disease that is Justin Beiber. Michael Bay is a terrible director. Peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Roses are red, violets are blue, NWO is great, and Bloo is poo cool. Palpitoad is strongth. This post has no logic in it.

And b.s. reposting this thread while I was at a hockey game T.T

EDIT: I would also be up for learning BW UU/ BW Ubers if I can't get an ADV OU/ DPP OU tutor.

Tell us a little about yourself: I am a second degree black belt in Tang Soo Do. I play soccer for my school. I love playing Xbox 360 with my friends, and playing my 3DS on my free time. I love to draw, and use my imagination to write stories. I am ok at battling but I have A LOT to learn and am willing to do so. I need help in team building because I cannot do that to save my life. Also, I have been competitive battling since 4th generation, so I have a grasp of how to play the game pretty well.

I think I deserve a tutor because I would like to become an advanced battler, and what better way to start, but with one of the great tutors. I would like to be able to show other battlers that I can be a force to be reckoned with. I am a decent battler, like I know the basics. I am a little rusty at predicting and team building. I think a tutor should choose me because I'm an easy going, go with the flow, kind of guy, and it isn't too difficult to teach me things since I have a grasp of the metagame.

What tier do you want to learn?: BW OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I'm just your average college kid who enjoys playing video games, drawing, and hanging out with friends. I've been playing pokemon competitively over a year now and I've developed a lot of skill and prediction in battle through self taught, reading The Smog, play testing teams on PO and learning the relevant metagame but I feel that there is always room for improvement.

After lurking for quite some time, a friend of mine recommended that I should come here to improve my skills. So the reason why I came here is because I want to sharpen my skills further to the next level and become professional like Earthworm. My team building skills for UU and RU are alright but in OU, it's "meh" and so I want to improve on that. I already have the basic knowledge of team building in OU but it's just that I want to learn the core concept instead of just scratching the mere surface of it. I'm a fast learner and I'm pretty good with people.

I want to learn the ropes of building OU teams to pass on the knowledge I've learned to others so that they will become advanced players as well. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I'll be happy with any tutor I'm given so long as they provide me with the essential knowledge I need.

Tell us a little about yourself: I'm a fairly decent battler in BW OU, but I struggle like crazy in the lower metagames, and would like to round out my knowledge of these other metagames and tiers.

Love hockey (Canada, eh?), and basically nothing out of the norm for any average Canadian High school Student.

I posted in the last thread, but it went poof in about 10 minutes after.

Tell us a little about yourself: I know the basics of battling but I know that I could be better. I don't really care too much about the ladder, I just want to be able to battle the best I can. I've been a fan of pokemon since the first season of pokemon and first games came out. Gradually came into competitive battling and now I want to try be the best I can.

I was tutored by Lamppost last round, but we were limited because he had finals. If I get another tutor, hopefully I get the full experience this time.

Tell us a little about yourself: Overall, I feel like I still have room to improve as a competitive Pokemon player. I want to ultimately make the transition from "slightly above-average player" to "good player" with the help of an experienced player. SDS's tutoring back in Round 53 helped my improve my ability to build teams, but I still have trouble playing against well-made, well-played stall teams and I cannot usually build teams that can defeat them. I'd like to use this program to patch up my weaknesses as a player and to further improve my teambuilding skills.

What tier do you want to learn?: BW OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I'm a freshmen at University of Michigan, and I'm majoring in Chemistry and psychology. I'm a huge sports fan, especially of the Red Wings. In my spare time, I ski, compose music, and (obviously) play video games. Besides pokemon, my favorite games are Final Fantasy X and Super Smash Bros.
I first got into competitive pokemon at the start of Gen IV. I got pretty good at DPP, but found that B/W was a whole new ballgame. Despite what my first Gen V RMT would indicate, I'm actually decent at building teams. Rather, when I lose it's usually because I make a stupid mistake that gives my opponent an insurmountable advantage, a trend I'm hoping a tutor can fix.

Tell us a little bit about yourself: I am a British 13 year old who knows quite a lot about the metagame, but I have problems with teambuilding and predicting correctly. I wish to upload more battles on Youtube, but I often mess up a lot so tutoring me would really help me boost my confidence as well as skill at this game.

Why I have less than 25 posts: I am often inactive here a lot, and I'm not really interested in posting stuff on this site, as I dont really have anything to share or post that is new on this site, although with the help of being tutored I could possibly achieve a pretty good ranking on the ladder, which may lead to me posting more.
