Not open for further replies.
Welcome to round 64 of Battling 101. If you were tutored last round, make sure you send in you tutor evaluations. Our tutors dedicate a lot of time to this program and the evaluations help us assess their contributions. If you are seeking a tutor, you're in the right place. Fill out the information below to be assigned a tutor.

To clear up any confusion, here is an example of what my application would look like:

Username: Kevin Garrett
Age: 20
Shoddy Username: Kevin Garrett
Your timezone and usual hours of availability: GMT-5, 4:00PM-2:00AM
What tier do you want to learn?: BW2 UU
Tell us a little about yourself: I am the reason luvdiscs were implemented on Smogon. Aside from that, I deleted all of my posts because they were all terrible. I really want to learn how to play Pokemon the right way because I have struggled with it for so long and put in a lot of time to get better, but can't improve at all.

YOU MUST PROVIDE A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF WHY YOU SHOULD BE TUTORED IF YOU HAVE FEWER THAN 25 POSTS. Additionally, you must be able to use Pokémon Online, Pokémon Showdown or at least Shoddy Battle (if you only wish to learn DPP OU).

Important: In addition, after your time of tutoring, please take the time to fill in the evaluation form and send it to the entire tutoring staff. This helps us on so many levels! All tutees from previous rounds are expected to submit evaluations of their tutors as well.

One more thing: If you were skipped in the round before this one, make a note somewhere in your sign-up post that this was the case. It makes it easier for us when we do the pairings.

Tell us a little about yourself: I've started playing Pokemon in november but didn't enjoy BW OU that much so I quitted for a few months then came back and learned ADV and played that for another few months then stopped for exams and stuff.. Now I'm back and ready to learn seriously BW2 OU! Other then that, I'm an asian guy who likes video games, sports, breakdance, mangas/anime.

Locopoke told me to request him but if he can't take anymore tutees that's fine.

Tell us a little about yourself: I'm a 14 year old pokemon player, I'm on all day because I have little to do in real life, I watch NFL every sunday, and am a falcons fan. I'de like to think I'm an above average battler I don't really ladder, when I try I get abput 200 which is why I need the help. I was #1 on the monotype ladder of smogon before the first ladder reset, and I've had laddering success in NU RU and LU, and I want to do better in OU

I signed up in rounds 62, 60, and 59 where I didn't get a tutor, and I missed round 61, Signed up in round 63 got a tutor he didn't respond to any of my messages and literally didn't say a word to me

Nachos garunteed me a tutor "Known to be reliable"
Idk if proof is required but if it is
Nachos said:
Keep PMing him. If he doesn't bother to answer, PM me again. I'll guarantee you a tutor who is known to be reliable next round.

What tier do you want to learn?: BW2 OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I'm a really competitive player and i always aim to win. I guess i'm alright at this game, but I really struggle with team building because in my opinion, the OU meta game is crazy but that's my favorite tier so I wish to get a tutor that can teach me how to build good teams and how to get better in this game.
I would like to request for reverb or mostwanted.

What tier do you want to learn?: ADV OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I am a teen from England and I like hanging out with friends, playing video games, and other stuff.
I suck at ADV OU and I wanna learn it because I find it intersting. I have told Nachos about my past tutors, how they were busy and
that I was only properly tutored by EspyJoel, but that was for DPP which wasn't a priority tier to learn. This will probably be the
last time I sign up for Battling 101 so I hope I get assigned a tutor.

SkyNet has agreed to tutor me apparently.

Big Proofinator:
[24/07/2012 20:39:30] Matt: Yo could you tutor me for the next battling 101 round?
[24/07/2012 20:40:28] SkyNet: Yeah sure!

What tier do you want to learn?: BW2 OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I'm 15 years old, I live in Saudi Arabia, but originally from the UK.
I learned a lot from SkyNet in round 62, but I still need help with teambuilding. I built a lot of teams
using SkyNet's method, but the teams don't seem to work as well as I think they would.

I have less than 25 posts because I am more of a lurker than a poster.

BKC agreed to tutor me. If he is unavailable, I would like to request Delko.


Proof that BKC agreed: [7/29/2012 2:24:41 PM] GearFlow: Hey Kevin, I was wondering if you could be my tutor for round 64, I want to improve my team building skills as i feel they are not very good and all round help in general. I know you are a good battler & tutor.
[7/29/2012 2:24:49 PM] Kevin: sure

What tier do you want to learn?: BW2 OU
Tell us a little about yourself:

First time poster, long time lurker. I have been playing on and off since late gen 4 while also browsing the smogon forums, so I'm not that new. My main reason for joining the tutor program is because I want to get better. I've never gotten very far on the ladder much to my frustration. I have tried on my own, borrowed some good teams from the RMT section but alas, no success. I'm not stupid, I did read and know lots about competitive play but it seems I just can't put the theory into practice. Now in the summer vacation I want to try again, with some good help hopefully. I usually play a balance style, sometimes semi-stall and I'm a big fan of originality.

Some personal information; I study Public Administration at a renounced Dutch university. My interests are social science, politics, football and the news in general. From time to time I play videogames though not as often as when I was younger. I work part-time as a mail carrier. This is probably enough for now.

Tell us a little about yourself: I’ve played every single Pokemon game but I’m just getting into the competitive scene. I enjoy playing video games (Xbox and Nintendo systems), hanging out with friends, and making music on my guitar and saxophone. I do have a job with a somewhat irregular schedule but I always have time to go online in evenings.

Like I said, I’m just getting started and I could really use the help offered in this program. I already have a BW OU team created but it definitely needs improvement. This program is perfect for me and I promise I will be a long term battler on Smogon!

Tell us a little bit about yourself: I really enjoy playing Pokemon competitvely, but dislike OU heavily. I have been playing UU a lot for about a month now, and I am starting to get to grips with the tier-but I’m struggling to make a good team. I just started to play RU and I’m really enjoying it, but obviously I’d love to have some help. Also, I could do with some tips on teambuilding as a whole-it would help me get to grips with the basic mons in any tier, and I’d love to be able to get high up on the ladder. In general, I’m a friendly person, and I would really enjoy helping out here on Smogon.

Tell us a little about yourself:

Long-time Pokemon fan, on-and-off lurker. I tried competitive battling before but wasn't very good at it. I've been trying out different teams over the past few days and have been met with mixed success, so I'd like to learn some more about teambuilding.

I think I should be tutored because I'm generally a fast learner, and don't mind taking advice or criticism from others.

What tier do you want to learn? Wifi OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I like to watch lots of anime, play varsity tennis for my school St. Charles Preparatory, and play videogames (mostly COD on the 360). This is sort of random, but I work at McDonald’s. So, if you live in the Westerville area I could hook you up with a discount ;). I took breakdancing lessons for 3 years from 7th grade through freshmen year. I enjoy learning about anything useful except for history because it makes me fall asleep. The main reason why I have not posted anything on smogon is because I am new to the scene of competitive pokemon, and so, I would rather not embarrass myself just yet with nonsensical posts. Also, I would like to be tutored because I really want to get better at pokemon. I have put in many of hours watching youtube guides, reading smogon forums, and making my own sloppy teams. I feel that a one on one situation would allow me to learn the most about competitive pokemon, and it would help me create a unique team that fits my playing style. Once I am finished with my tutoring sessions, I would definitely give back to the community by tutoring others or posting tons of strategy guides about competitive pokemon. I think I have ranted enough about myself so I will just end it with this. 

Tell us a little about yourself I have been a member of Smogon for about two years. I have posted intermittently in the Rate My Team forum, and these are more or less my only posts. A large reason why I have signed up for this Tutoring program is because I really want to become more integrated with the community. I feel as if I have for so long just taken and taken from Smogon (things like looking at the Pokedex and reading all of the articles), and I never have been able to give back enough. I have always wanted to be able to contribute to C&C, but I have forever found the entire forum confusing for me to understand exactly how I could help. I would also like to have a tutor who could help me with my team rates as well. I hope that you would be able to give me a tutor who could do this for me. In the fourth generation, I had an astounding tutor, Bloo. Sadly, I never made the use of his near-celestial abilities. I guess in all, I am just a member who wants to learn enough about battling and about how to contribute enough to kinda pay back for everything that I have used the site for. Thank you.
