Tell us a little about yourself: I'm just a regular guy currently studying for a degree in Geology at Plymouth University. I enjoy playing Pokemon now and again, of course. I've had a keen interest in the game ever since I got given Pokemon Blue as a birthday present god knows how many years ago. I'm also a very keen Rugby player/fan.

Why I Have Fewer Than 25 Posts: I've been playing Pokemon competitively since ADV, being brought up on Serebii and Marriland forums. I sucked back then though, and didn't really acquire much skill until early DP, where I used to do pretty well on Shoddy Battle's ladder. However, all my old friends left the game relatively early on and I gradually gravitated away from the game due to a combination of factors (though mostly because of falling school grades).

I made a brief comeback some time around 2009, which is when I finally registered on Smogon despite knowing about it for longer. I never really got far with it though, and mostly lurked due to the alienation of a wholly different community to one I remembered before. Only recently have I started to make a full comeback, now that I'm at an academically stable situation where I can have a reasonable balance between work, social life and online activities.

I think I would be suitable as a tutee because I believe I have great potential as a player due to my extensive theoretical knowledge, but have never quite mastered the intricacies of team building and battling strategy.
