Tell us a little about yourself: I had a blast playing in two VGC tournaments last year but feel like I still have a lot to learn! I've recently become more involved with Pokemon with the introduction of the metagame and I want to embrace this aspect of Pokemon as much as I can. Going into my first year as a Master, I want to be prepared and battle with the best of them.

Tell us a little about yourself: I've played Pokemon for a pretty long time, and have always been attracted to the doubles format. Recently the stars aligned really well for me to start playing in VGCs (A travel opportunity to an October VGC and a spring one coming to my hometown) , and I'm getting pretty excited about it, although I have a lot to learn.

Tell us a little about yourself: I've been in VGC for two years now, went 3-4 at the 2012 Philly regionals, and I've been training and getting a lot better, but I'd like to have a little bit more help in battling. I'd also like this to help out my friend who's brand-new to VGC and competitive Pokemon, too. My priorities for tutoring aren't that high, so if the schedules are packed, I'll be fine for skipping out this time.

Tell us a little about yourself: I'm new to the competitive pokemon scene, but i've been interested in it for a while. I'd like to learn more about the game and its scene.

For my background, I play Starcraft 2 mainly. I enjoy learning the ins and outs of the games I play. I'd like to note, i'm still a complete newbie when it comes to competitive battling, so i'm hoping for someone who can teach me step by step.

Tell us a little about yourself: I'm a new college student who has been a Pokemon fan since it came to the US in the 90s. I like not so typical tactics and avoid using Pokemon I can't breed (like Legendaries). Since I'm just starting college I don't have too sound of a schedule, so I'm fine with learning across time zones (hence my hours being early for me). I've played Singles most of my Pokemon career and would love to finally break into the world of competitive VGC. I love other video games such as Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy, and I also love the Harry Potter series.
