What Tier do you want to learn?: OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I've played and had a passion for pokemon since the Red version, and having recently been playing showdown on the OU metagame, I've fallen in love with the theory and strategy of the game as a whole, it's very exciting. I feel if I can fill in the knowledge gaps for team building and specifically battling, I can contribute a lot to the theory and help others along the way as well, enriching the community hopefully. I want to make it to the top!
Will you be willing to do tutee talk threads on your tutors?: For sure!

Your timezone and usual hours of availability: Timezone: GMT. Any time before 9:00 PM GMT on Mondays / Fridays / Tuesdays. Any time otherwise, but I'm not able to do Saturdays.
What tier do you want to learn?: Any BW2 (UU / RU preference)
Tell us a little about yourself: I've been watching Pokémon battles for a couple of years now. My heart almost broke when TheKillerNacho (the guy I first started watching) stopped battling, but I watch a bunch of different battles nowadays and I've tried battling now and then, but I really need some counseling, especially when it comes to team building.
Will you be willing to do tutee talk threads on your tutors?: Absolutely!
Why should I be tutored with less than 25 posts?: I am a fast learner, I've been in love with Pokémon for almost half of my life now and I love the match of minds behind a Pokémon battle, so I really want to improve and perhaps, if I get there, give a little back to the community.

What tier do you want to learn?: BW2 OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I have been playing Pokemon for about two thirds of my life but I’ve just recently gotten into competitive play.
I have a very competitive nature, as long as I like something I really get into it, so obviously it would be a good idea to get a better insight with a tutor.
In my freetime I enjoy lots of TV shows and anime/manga, videogames, hanging out with friends and going to conventions, I’m the outgoing nerdy kind of guy. Currently I am working on finishing my training as a programmer, but my workplace is pretty laid-back, so I am technically available from 8 AM – 4 PM (though only to chat in this timeslot) as well.
Will you be willing to do tutee talk threads on your tutors?: Of course.
Why should I be tutored with less than 25 posts?: As I’ve already stated above, I’ve just recently joined the ranks of competitive battlers and I prefer to lurk (in IRC and on the forums) before posting about something I might not fully understand.

What tier do you want to learn?: UU
Tell us a little about yourself: I've always been interested in playing pokemon though I developed my interest for competetive play later, during the time that DPPt came out. I've quitting that when Gen V came out because I didn't like the style of it. And now I miss it :p. Anyway, my name is Tim, I am Dutch and am currently finishing my thesis. In my free time I play football, go out with friends, do stuff with my gf and play games.
Will you be willing to do tutee talk threads on your tutors?: Yea
Why should I be tutored with less than 25 posts?: I've been member for a long time but never actually posted, been watching some threads about competetive battling in the meantime. And with X and Y upcoming I really want to get back into it. During battles on Pokemon Online I really experience that I lack some knowledge of when to switch in certain pokemon, or when not to. The art of predicting is hard ;)

Tell us a little about yourself: I'm a brazilian guy majoring in history because I'm too insane to study psychology. Due to a strike that happened last year in Brazil's universities, the calendar was fucked up, and thus I'm not on vacations :/ I play mostly RU, NU, LC and monotype, but sometimes I also play OU and Challenge Cup, and I want to improve the amount of tiers I know. I like to study languages (9 on count) and 80's and 90's anime. I also like Yugioh, Ace Attorney, Prof. Layton and trick-taking card games, such as Sueca (no one can beat me there unless with luck!), Truco and Spades.
Will you be willing to do tutee talk threads on your tutors?: Of course! I got skipped in the last two rounds for UU

I'm a competitive Magic: The Gathering player and reached of Top 100 in North America for the previous season. I'm interested in getting better at Pokemon because I really enjoy competing and playing games of all kinds.
Will you be willing to do tutee talk threads on your tutors?: Of course.
Why I'm under 25 posts: I've been lurking around Smogon without signing up, I'm not one to post unless I have something to contribute. I finally decided to sign up when I saw this thread and hoped I could get in.

Apparently I was accepted into the program back in round 70 but I somehow missed it. Sorry to whom ever was supposed to tutor me o_O

Tell us a little about yourself: I used to tutor for a year (2009); played for two years; wrote a team building article; contributed to the smog and moderated on then-Shoddy. Also used to rate and helped established RMT tutor system. Used to rank high back in DPPt until I left in 2011 (consistent top 10). Now I'm back hoping to learn the new game since I hadn't been able to grasp it beforehand (a reason for why I left). I mainly require metagame teaching more or less. IRL I'm headed to university next year to study for a BSc in Economics. I'm male and enjoy playing basketball.

Now my friends are starting to have tournaments and I would like to improve my skill to face them in those tournaments. On a final remark i guess I can only say i realy want to learn more about competitive pokemon :D

Tell us a little about yourself: I started playing competitively when I was about 14 and during high school I stopped. Now I am trying to learn again, however the metagame has changed a lot and so I believe I need help. Also I believe I should be tutored even though I have less than 25 posts because I am just getting back into the game and I figured that this was a good opportunity to do so that I can start battling competitively again.

Will you be willing to do tutee talk threads on your tutors?: I am willing.
Under 25 Postcount Message: As I just recently discovered the fun of pokemon batteling, I have little to no knowledge on the subject. As such, I felt that posting on the forum would be a bit hard due to my lack of understanding on many of the topics. Hopefully I will be able to get into the community more when I recieve some more training
