Tell us a little about yourself: Not much to say. I like a ton of music and I've recently gotten into anime. I've been playing competitive pokemon since late 2009 with a couple of breaks, but I've only played BW OU for a little under 2 months. I'm a sports fan and my main issue that I would like to work on is team building.

Tell us a little about yourself: Ive been battling competitively for a little over 3 months and Im a pretty good battler but all my skills are self learned and I feel like the only way I can get better and get over this plateau is to actually learn from someone. Oh I also like basketball and lacrosse.

Tell us a little about yourself: First real hobby was Yugioh TCG (shutup :P). Got kinda sick of all the imba shit Konami kept bringing out, and people were telling me about Shoddy Battle and the Smogon tiers. I already liked Pokemon so the switch was easy enough, and the official tiering system seemed pretty awesome. So I started playing casually around the end of Gen IV, post-mence ban.

I guess I'm an ok battler at the moment, but want to get more competetive. I have trouble with building a team from scratch, and my wins tend to be rather close if they're against good battlers.

Tell us a little about yourself: I am a Filipino kid that likes to hang out with his friends in real-life and online. I was a major lurker and occasionally rated peoples teams in the RMT forum in an attempt to be involved in this community. I began playing Pokemon a few years ago when I was pretty young, then I stopped and came back in the final days of DPP. I accept all advice/constructive criticism given to me and I try my best to improve from it. My all-time favorite playstyle is STALL, but I am not half bad at using offensive and balanced teams. I'm pretty good at team building and can predict somewhat effectively, but I would like to further my knowledge and be involved in the Smogon Community.

Tell us a little about yourself: 19 years old, amazingly average at competitive Pokemon. I'll hit a bump and not want to play a lot of the time. Would just be interesting to see what could come out of this. Also, user DC and I practically started competitive battling on Shoddy together, despite him being Spanish, and the fact remains that he still sucks.

What tier do you want to learn?:BW OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I managed to get suspect test voting rights 3 times in BW OU, but I have been extremely busy as of late. I haven't been playing competitively much at all, and am in a major slump right now. I would like to be tutored in teambuilding in BW OU, but I feel confident at prediction and most metagame knowledge. Just need to catch up on what I missed in the last couple of months I guess and make myself a more solid player all around.

What tier do you want to learn?: BW UU
Tell us a little about yourself: I got into competitive battling towards the end of DPP OU and was an average battler. I battled quite frequently in early BW OU but my activity has dwindled. I recently got into UU and would love to improve my overall games, especially my prediction skills and establishing a win condition. I have signed up for tutoring several times, but unfortunately not been allocated a tutor.

I will out-do all others and smash the competition if you put in the time to teach me. I will give everything to get better if you teach me and I appreciate it. I will try to make it as convenient for you as possible.

Tell us a little about yourself: Been playing since early Gen1, and started dabbling into competitive partway through Gen3. I love the game, and I want to spread what I hope to learn from this into my local metagame. I'm tired of being tops locally due to a little more experience, and being one of the few to research.

I'm also LOVING BW OU and one of the few people who does, likely...I'm glad to see weather being a prominent aspect of battles outside Sandstorm.

I'm into game design and psychology...I love trying to read my opponent, and trying to lull them into mindgames...at least, locally I do; PO users don't seem that chatty :P

I want to half-heartedly request Bloo is a mentor (if he does this)...but primarily for comedic purposes than any REAL reason, and will be happy with whomever I get.

Tell us a little about yourself: I just turned to the battling scene in which I had a lot of fun trying out for the smogon world cup team even though I wasnt that good. It encouraged me to learn more about battling and my goal is to make the smogon world cup team as well as becoming an OU suspect voter. Im basically dying to earn that checkmark as a voter :P. I get nervous while battling and it makes me very inconsistent. Im hoping the program will boost my skill and confidence as a battler

Im heading to college this upcoming school semester so im not too sure on how committed i can be. However ill try my best to have some free time in order to learn the BW OU metagame. The times might change based on clubs and activities
