A little about myself: I am a German boy who likes every sport. Football und basketball are my favourite sports. I like reading books an play Pokemon.
But Pokemon wasn't the most important thing in my life. But since I read something about competitive play it became more important and now it#s like a hobby. I am good in remebering things and learning. I want to know as much as possible and I won't forget it fast.

Time zone: GMT (-8:00)
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): 9pm-12am
Experience level: Above average
Tiers I need help in (in order of preference): OU only
A little about myself: I'm a 17 year old girl who likes reading history and politics way too much.
I've been around the forums for awhile but until very recently I did not play the standard OU metagame that most of the community seems familiar with. I need help ingratiating myself more into it, mostly needing assistance with team building, so I can do well on the ladder. Because I've been playing BL and some UU for most of D/P, I tend to use Pokemon and movesets that are considered weak or gimmicky but work for me, so I would like to request a flexible tutor in this department. My playing skill is not bad, but it does need a little work.

Stumbled upon competitive Pokemon battling via YouTube. Looked really interesting and fun to play. 1990 baby, I was brought up on the Pokemon you could say, and I guess I'm not all poke'd out. I've been following the competitive Pokemon battling scene for a bit now and I'm interested to learn more. I don't like to lose.
 
Shoddy Battle nick: Naeyth
Age: 16
Time zone: GMT (London)
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): 6PM-9PM mainly. During the weekends I hop on whenever I got no homework or coursework.
Experience level: I would classify myself as an average battler. I understand the current metagame to a relatively high stanard (predicting moves/ movesets). Only recently have I started commenting on RMT threads and generally the feedback I give goes down well. During the last couple of weeks I have been experimenting on only OU teams. My UU knowledge is limited.
Tiers I need help in (in order of preference): OU is the main tier which I want to home in on my skills, UU is a bonus but I'm commited to both tiers.
A little about myself: Hmms, where to begin? Well, my name is Charlie and i'm Chinese/ British. I'm about to start college in the next week and enjoy Mathematics and Pokemon equally.
I just obtained very good GCSEs results scoring 7x A*s, 4x As and 1x B. I am extremely proud of my results because it allowed me to get the subjects I desperately wanted and not one of those 'optional' subjects.
I actuall remembered watching Pokemon when I was a kid- laughing at Brock's eyes most of the time even though I have the same -_-. I've played all the Pokemon games you can think of except the Pokemon Ranches series and Pokemon Snap. When I heard that you could start battling people online I immediantly Google'ed what allowed me to do that. The search came up with Pokemon and Pearl. I rushed to my local Game store and pre-ordered one straight away but unfortunantly the queue as huge. It came in the post on the release date and I was thrilled. My eyes was drawn towards Piplup and I chose it. I started EVing training it although it was extremely hard at the start of the game. I think by the time I got to the Elite 4 it had 176 HP/ 252 S.Atk and some in speed/def/s.def =[. I still have this Empoleon with me today. O WAIT>.....!!1 I think I typed to much :D <3
I'm also a sport loving person playing sports for roughly 2 hours daily during the weekdays and 3 hours+ during the weekends. M favourite sport has to be football.

As an ending note I would like to thank my tutor in advance for giving me his/her time to mentoring me :D Oh and I remembered Kevin Garrett saying he would mentor me if I signed up for the apprenticeship. He's the main reason why I signed up for round forty-two :D

A little about myself: I thought I was bad ass when I used to play Red and Gold versions, but now that I've finally gotten back into the series and discovered EVs and such, I realized that I suck. I really want to learn the strategy and have someone to bounce stupid ideas and questions off of, in hopes that they aren't stupid by the end of the three week period.

Age:16
Time zone: GMT-7
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!):Probably about 9-11 pm on weeknights, and usually 2-6 pm on weekends.
Experience level: Slightly above average. At one point, i was about 40th on the leaderboard, but i have recently been in a bad slump, and nothing really wants to work.
Tiers I need help in (in order of preference): OU, but i always wanted to learn UU.
A little about myself: I always played the earlier pokemon games, and about 6 months ago, I got nostalgic. A couple of google searches later, I ended up here. I play volleyball in soccer in my spare time, and I consider myself a fairly nice guy.

Shoddy Battle nick: Sparko

Age: 18

Time zone: CET (GMT + 2:00 ~ becomes GMT + 1:00 in winter)

Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): 3 PM - 11 PM my time (9 AM - 5 PM in EST time) (am online alot in weekends, and from october onwards I'll be available only on weekends)

Experience level: Pretty average, I normally manage a decent win streak getting me at around 1450+ CRE on the shoddy smogon server and occasionally I pull off impressive wins against top trainers, yet I can't get beyond the 1500 mark :/ I guess I lack the consistency and long term thinking that are needed to become a top player... I think I need help in team building, and deciding what moves to use at what time in the battle, I'm also not bad at prediction though it could use some tweaking... I also know a little about heavy offence and I've been using this style of play lately... I would really like to reach the top 50 list so I guess this tutor program would really help me out =]

Tiers I need help in (in order of preference): OU mostly (wouldn't mind learning about UU though :D)

A little about myself: well I'm starting university in october so I won't be on as much as now, but I'll find time to pkmn I guess... I'm a pretty average guy, I like sports (of course since I'm from Europe Football is like a way of life here), partying, clubbing and hanging out with friends =] I play pkmn to keep my mind fresh due to the mind games that are involved in battles :)

Age: 16
Time Zone: EST
Regular Online Hours: 5 PM-Whenever on Weekdays, all times on Weekends.
Experience Level: Decent, I stay at around 1300 CRE when active in OU. OU is really the only tier I have experimented in, though recently I have dabbled in Ubers and Suspect for fun. I primarily play balance teams, though I have had success with heavy stall and rain dance teams, as well as all out offense. Needless to say, I like to experiment.
Tiers I need help In (Order of Preference): OU, UU, Uber
A little about myself: I'm a long distance runner and an avid pokefan! I have played since the First Generation, however I stopped at the end of the second generation for a while. Recently I have come back and beat both Emerald and Diamond for fun. I'm really interested in competetive pokemon battling, and would love to learn some more.

Tiers I need help in (in order of preference): I'm too much of a noob to know what a tier is.
A little about myself:I've been playing pokemon since the Red and Blue versions. I have Red, Blue, yellow, Silver, Crystal, Ruby Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. I want to know all about pokemon battle strategies so I can go online and have some fun (but I want to win). I'm a good learner and I know a thing or two with EV's and IV's. I live near Montreal, Canada and I speek french and english, but I prefer english for some unknown reason.
