Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences):
I’ve been playing Pokémon showdown since I first discovered competitive in gen 6, and as such I’ve played to obtain a skill level to give my favorite YouTubers a run for their money— despite how unrealistic of a dream that’s been. My goals, however, shifted after scraping into top 500 in randomized formats like gens 3, 5, 6, and 9, to achieving it in gen 3 OU, peaking at around top 50 (albeit it with a premade kingdra para spam team). Now that I see just how large the gap truly is, I’m hoping to take my journey far more seriously by actually understand the complexities of the game like proper team building, exploring any additional formats as directed, and play at a level showing considerably decent tournament participation that shows I hold my own in a pinch.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences):
one of my first of matches was playing a game of ADV AND ORAS. out of all meta games I have played I realized that I enjoyed adv whether it be from the intricacies and details from before the physical special split and unique sets and niches can have.As for ORAS it was the best tier I ever laddered in reaching a 1500elo once. I realized I not only want to have fun in playing these old metagames I actually want to be better at it.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I've played showdown very casually since 2021, but didn't try to improve until about 8-12 months ago, courtesy of Jimothy Cool and BKC on youtube. I feel ok about my skills, but I want to go from just pushing buttons well and mostly stealing teams to being a skilled teambuilder and having better vision in battle. I've signed up for these tiers because I want to play in the Smogon Classic, and I want to pick up another tier besides ADV.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I got onroaded to ADV about six months ago, have a bit of tour experience but not really satisfied with my skill level and looking to improve. I've played some of and been interested in DPP and BW for a while and really want to improve at those as well. I play almost every OU every now and then but I'm particularly focused on improving at these three oldgens. I really enjoy teambuilding in all three, and would like to reach a skill level where I can do it more comfortably.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): So i started early 2024 with RBY and have been learning and playing the entire time. While I havent had any notable tournament placements Ive had some wins against players way better than me, which i get doesnt mean much, but im still proud of it. Im decent at rby, currently going 4-0 in the undraft ADPL slot, which again doesnt mean much, but still. And i want to try and branch out to other tiers. BW and GSC are the only other 2 gens i can play at all,so those are the ones i want to sign up for.
