What tier do you want to learn?: XY OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I'm a sophomore in college. I'm a psychology major. I mostly play ubers/doubles though I've always tended to neglect smogon's main tier and was hoping to get involved into ou abit since from what others have said, I am absolute garbage at it (losing to ojama in monotype tour when I was using ghost vs his fight for example) among other things. So yeah :(

What tier do you want to learn?: XY Doubles
Tell us a little about yourself: Hi, I'm an 18 years old German, about to finish school this month. I've been playing Pokemon for ages now but only Singles yet. When I arrived home from German VGC yesterday, I decided trying to get into Doubles since I begin to really love the format. At first I wanted to try it out alone but seing how I failed at VGC even though training a lot before made me think of the tutoring program and how every good VGC-player had a coach. Yes, I'm aware there's a big difference between VGC and Smogon Doubles but I like Doubles even more than VGC, so I decided I'd rather learn Doubles.

Tell us a little about yourself:I' really interested in Pokemon, as I played my first game, a fake handed-down Pokemon Ruby and I loved it.

Are you interested in playing for the Round 84 Tutee Tournament?: Alright, It'll be nice to test out the skills I will have learnt.
Explanation: I want to learn about all the tactics and such so that I can contribute to different threads on my strategies, rather than just being a person who goes by brute force.

Your timezone and usual hours of availability:Central Time Zone. Fluctuates, but I'm at my computer most of the time. Mid Afternoon to late evening 12 - 9 pm
What tier do you want to learn?: UU
Tell us a little about yourself: I'm a college student in Texas, I go to UT and I have been a big fan of pokemon since I was really young playing pokemon yellow on my gameboy color. Some of my friends are high ranked pokemon players and they seem to have a good time with it, so I want to get involved. I played pokemon showdown a lot through highschool, but never did anything super competitive. I have a basic working knowledge of the game. Other than that I am a computer science major and love playing video games and meeting people who are passionate about the same things I am!
Will you be willing to do tutee talk threads on your tutors?: For sure, that's why I'm here!
Brief explanation of why I should be tutored if I have fewer than 25 posts: I have tons of free time, and I love pokemon. I don't have 25 posts but that's only because I recently found this community and want to be a part of it because everyone seems really awesome! I'm a respectful guy and am more than willing to take constructive criticism from people who know what they are talking about! Hope you will consider me
Are you interested in playing for the Round 84 Tutee Tournament?: Sure thing, should be a good way to show what I learned from my mentor.

So I saw x and y started saving got the game a moth ago and have over 100+ hours on it now!.Brief explanation of why I should be tutored if I have fewer than 25 posts: So even though I have less than 25 posts I want a tutor because I want to learn the meta and be able to compete at the highest level as well as be an active component of this community. Most of all I suppose, I just want to have fun doing so.

Your timezone and usual hours of availability: EST Anytime since it's summer
What tier do you want to learn?: XY OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I recently, as in a few hours ago, became a Sophomore in university. Since starting university, I've had less time to dedicate to Pokémon. Now that it's Summer, I have a lot more time to devote to Pokémon. Since starting VGC, I've also had a craving to play OU again thanks to Joey/PokeaimMD. With XY OU being completely foreign to me, I decided to try and acquire a tutor to help me through the way to try and become a competent player like Joey. My hobbies include, sports, anime, cooking, manga, and fishing. Being tutored before, I love having interactions with a tutor, even if it's not about Pokémon. Hopefully, through this experience, I will not only acquire a skillful teacher, but a good friend. With this experience, I hope to branch out more on the forums such as SPL, tutoring, and or team rating.
Will you be willing to do tutee talk threads on your tutors?: Absolutely
Are you interested in playing for the Round 84 Tutee Tournament?: If I feel competent enough, I'd love to play.

Your timezone and usual hours of availability: Eastern time zone/ Typically weekday nights(9:00-on) and weekend afternoons(2:00-on) , but my work schedule isn't consistent so that may change
What tier do you want to learn?: XY OU primarily, but I'm interested in UU and RU
Tell us a little about yourself: I've been a fan of pokemon since it came to the States and since I've learned about competitive battling in Gen 3 I was always interested in getting into it. However, I didn't understand how EVs and IVs work as a kid and as a teen I found it to be too much of a time sink to really try competitive battling. Now that they've made generating good pokemon a lot easier with special training and the assortment of items, along with my discovering of Pokemon Showdown, I finally want to try to become a competitive Pokemon battler.
Will you be willing to do tutee talk threads on your tutors?: Of course
Are you interested in playing for the Round 84 Tutee Tournament?: Yeah, it sounds like an excellent chance to gain experience.
Brief explanation of why I should be tutored if I have fewer than 25 posts: This is my first post on this forum as this thread was what pushed me from being a lurker to attempting to become an active community member. Hopefully, getting a tutor can be the first step to becoming a member of the Smogon community.

What tier do you want to learn?: VGC 14
Tell us a little about yourself: I am currently studying at University and am in my final year. Pokémon Blue was the very first video game I played and I have been hooked ever since to the world that is Pokémon, buying every generation up to now. I have since been tutored in round 81 in XY doubles and am now at a level where I feel confident in my abilities, certainly with doubles. At the moment what I am struggling most with is building an effective team that suits my play style.
Will you be willing to do tutee talk threads on your tutors?: Definitely.
Are you interested in playing for the Round 83 Tutee Tournament?: I'm not very good at tournaments but I can give it a shot. Last time was a disaster.
YOU MUST PROVIDE A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF WHY YOU SHOULD BE TUTORED IF YOU HAVE FEWER THAN 25 POSTS: I tend to only post when I absolutely must, rather than post just to get my numbers up. I feel once I get into the swing of things I will post more and more.

I signed up for round 83 and was skipped

Tell us a little about yourself: I'm 23 years old and I'm a performer at Disney World for a living. I played through RBY, GSC, RSE, and then explored the DS ones briefly on emulator before I realized I really really wanted to battle online. So here I am. A week into owning Y, and beaten the Elite Four and ready to start battling but with no idea on how to create a fantastic team due to lack of experience.
Will you be willing to do tutee talk threads on your tutors?: Yes!
Are you interested in playing for the Round 84 Tutee Tournament?: Sure!

Brief explanation: I am of an extremely competitive nature. All the games I play are multiplayer online because simply put, I love the thrill of competition. have been wanting to competitively battle since I explored Pokemon on DS. I raced through the game just to be able to start IV breeding and putting teams together, and I have been pouring for days reading threads about what should go into making teams and how certain pokemon are.

Tell us a little about yourself: I was in the previous 101 tutoring with pwnemon, we were practicing doubles but my internet connection was with problems and I had to wait for a technician to come by my house to fix the modem, thats why I didn't finished my session with him. Like before I want to learn how to play competitive, got problems building a pokemon (which nature, ev's, etc.) and building a team, I'm very noob about competitive, but I'm very interested, if I have to study something first before playing competitive I'll do it.
