Your timezone and usual hours of availability: GMT. Around 6PM till about 3-4AM

What tier do you want to learn?: BW2 OU

Tell us a little about yourself: I've been an avid Pokemon fan since Red and have been playing through the newer games with the same huge smile since then!
I came upon the online aspect a while back with D/P but kinda fell outta the battling area a few months before B/W were announced.. I recently got back into it and I'm kinda struggling to keep up with others due to my poor team-building skills.

I know I don't have 25 posts yet which is partially due to me only just remembering I had made this account back in the days of Gen 4 and also partially due to the fact I just didn't have the knowledge of this new metagame to provide a good enough rate for some of the other users here..

Your timezone and usual hours of availability: GMT. Everyday except for Thursday and Friday. 7pm-10:30pm
What tier do you want to learn?: 4th gen OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I have a good grasp of Generation 5 OU. I eventually plan to compete in Smogon Tours so I will need all of the OUs. Last round I received a Tutor, we had a few sessions but unfortunately he had to undergo surgery and his computer broke halfway through the round. I feel I have improved since he tutored me, but I definitely need more help in this tier. Particulalry in team building. The tutor Reverb has agreed to teach me for this round.

[ScoobyDoom]

Username: ScoobyDoom
Age: 15
Pokemon Online/Pokemon Showdown/Shoddy Username: ScoobyDoom
Your timezone and usual hours of availability: Any time EST
What tier do you want to learn?: BW2 OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I love to play pokemon competitively, and I found myself incompetent with playing OU, which is why I am signing up. Aside from pokemon, I love to play ping pong and swimming. I feel as though a strong tutor can be a plus for me since BW2 was released.

Reason to be tutor (under 25 posts): I have been contributing to many charity organizations which have hindered my availability on smogon. However, I have taken a break for a while which has opened up my availability to be tutored/more active on smogon. I will be a strong candidate for a tutee and I feel that I absorb a lot of information, especially pertaining to pokemon. I have also been skipped twice in the last two tutor sign ups if it matters for anything.

I have spoken to BKC, and he has agreed to be my tutor

What tier do you want to learn?: Gen 5 UU
Tell us a little about yourself: I like offensive teams. I've already asked psych071c if he could tutor me, and he agreed. Pokemon is a nice hobby that I enjoy next to sports and other trivial things. I hope I learn something from this.
<25 posts: When you're bad at Pokemon, you don't have much to post. Therefore, I don't have many posts, although I do get on this site everyday usually. I try to post when I can but that's just not possible when you want to look intelligent.

Your timezone and usual hours of availability: GMT -4. I'm available any weekday before 4:00 PM and sometimes later.
What tier do you want to learn?: BW2 OU, BW2 Uber, or BW2 UU
Tell us a little about yourself: I'm just a semi normal teenager. I've been playing Pokemon since it was first came out with RBY so that and the show was a major influence on my childhood. I'm pretty athletic. Throughout high school ive thrown javelin, ran cross country, and wrestled. Now I spend most of my time playing this game and volleyball.
Brief explanation: I've been playing competitive since the beginning of BW and still haven't quite grasped it. Every time I feel like I'm getting it the whole meta changes. I entered the BW2 tournament and lost in the second round, badly. And I don't want that to happen again. I don't post much because I don't want to sound stupid. Also by being tutored and having a better understanding of this game I want to be able to contribute more to the smogon community and make friends. Thanks for your consideration.

What tier do you want to learn?: BW2 OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I've been into competitive battle since July 2011 and found it very entertaining. I would like to learn more about battle strategy and team building. I lurk around smogon at times, to check out new strategy's. My first pokemon game is Pokemon Yellow, and since then, I've enjoyed the pokemon games. I'm pretty calm, I don't get mad over lost battles, and yeah that's it.
Why Should I Be Tutored (Less Than 25 Posts): I Have under 25 posts because at the time I just feel like I should learn more about BW/BW2 OU before posting.

Got skipped last round.

Your timezone and usual hours of availability: GMT 0; 11:00am to 3:00am
What tier do you want to learn?: BW2 OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I'm a linoone fanatic, I wouldn't dream of creating a team without him. That's where my problem is, however. I'm stubborn towards 5th generation Pokémon because I much prefer the older generations, but I'm willing to change. The problem wouldn't be teaching me more about meta-game but rather, trying to make me try something new.
Why I should be tutored: I'm like a charmander. If you work hard enough with me, great things will become of me.

My Timezone: EST (GMT-4) Very flexible schedule, Just PM me.
What tier do I want to learn: Either BW2 Ubers -or- BW2 OU -or- BW2 UU
Tell us about yourself: I have been battling for about a year now, just aboutwhen Black & White came out. I mainly focused on OU but as time progressed, it seemed that the metagame became worse and worse, so now I want to focus on other tiers, and learn how to become a better battler in other tiers. So I can have a better grasp on all tiers and levels of battle. Thank you for your time!
Why I should be tutored: I feel I should be tutored so I can be an all around better battler and I would like to learn how to build a team to a better caliber. Thank you for the consideration!

Your timezone and usual hours of availability: most days from 23:00 onwards (GMT+1).
What tier do you want to learn?: DPP OU/ ADV OU/ BW2 LC (whichever is available, with DPP OU taking priority if possible).
Tell us a little about yourself: I am about to start my GCSE course here in England and have been playing competitive Pokemon (VGC) since the release of Black and White. I like table tennis a lot and play for a club but don't lIke any other sports. Other than that I like reading and making VERY big things out of lego (king kong). I was skipped in round 62 when signing up for BW RU tutoring.

[Skitten]

User Name: Skitten
Age: 19
Pokemon Showdown Username: Skitten
Time Zone and Availibity: I live in Eastern time zone. For August I am compeletly free from the 11th to the 19th. For the rest of the month I'm available between 10:00pm and 1:00am. I don't know what September will be like for me, but I bet Wednesdays and Fridays from 1:00pm to 10:00pm will work fine. I will do my absolute best to meet my tutor's schedule.
Tiers I would like to learn: LC! I would really, really like to learn LC for BW2. If that's not possible I would like to learn any of the following BW2 Tiers: OU, NU, UU, or RU.
A Little Bit About Me: Um, well I'm compassionate, get compared to Luna Lovegood, Skitty and Delcatty alot; and love reading, cats, fire emblem, politics, and old disney movies. I also tend to come off as younger then I am.
Why I Should Be Tutored: I absolutly adore playing pokemon. Win or lose, it makes me happier then just about anything. However, given how much time I spend playing it, I'd like to win a little more. However, just about all of my experience is in VGC so I don't really know anything about these tiers or metagames. Because of this I feel like I can't contribute much to smogon, but I really want to be more involved. Plus, getting a tutor is one of the reasons I signed up for smogon in the first place :)

Your timezone and usual hours of availability: -3(Brazil), usually at night, from 19:00 to 23:00
What tier do you want to learn?: BW OU. I have decent knowledge about prediction and game planning, but my teambuilding isn't good at all and I think that getting tutored can help me to be a better player.
Tell us a little about yourself: I have recently graduated in law, but I'm still studying to start a masters degree, etc. I'm a nice guy and I want to be an active part in the SU community (:


Huh, I have more than 25 posts, but I'll post why I should get tutored.

I have been an user here for almost a year and I've already learned many things about this game, but I think I can improve a lot and getting in touch with some of the best is the way to do it.
