Tell us a little about yourself: I feel as though I'm an average battler and I want to take my battling skill to the next level. I'm a fast learner and I enjoy teambuilding very much so I also wish to polish that up as well. (I have posted an RMT before and it got some very postive feedback)
I currently have a low post count but I am getting more involved with the discussion threads as well as the RMT threads, as I am usually reading the in-depth descriptions/analysis'. I also upload Pokemon WiFi/PO battles frequently on my YT Channel.

I wasn't fortunate to get a tutor last round, so here is hoping.

Tell us a little about yourself: I'm from Germany and play Pokemon for 2 years now.
In my freetime I'm playing football or do something with friends. I want to improve my battling skills and reach a higher level. I like creative teams but most of them are not that solid and thats why I need some help in teambuilding.

I signed up round 56 and 57 but missed the chance to get a tutor. :(

What tiers do you want to learn?: BW LC
Tell us a little about yourself: I'm a 15 years old guy from Stockholm,Sweden, and I've always had an interest in pokemon since I was around 5-6 years old. Lurked around on smogon since late gen.4, but I've taken some breaks, and now I'm back again, and I'm here to stay. Been playing LC these past two weeks, and i think I got a semi-good grip around the metagame.

Why should you tutor me? I think that I got some understanding of the metagame after playing it for two weeks, and I think I learn pretty quick. And since the LC community is rather small, another player can't be bad. I need some help with teambuilding and thinking outsside the box when it comes to countering threats and discovering new ones.

EDIT: Signed up in the removed thread too.

Tell us a little about yourself: I started playing Pokemon seriously in late 2010 and besides that, I'm an ordinary teenager who likes playing soccer, listening to music or hanging out with friends in my freetime.

Tell us a little about yourself: SIGNING UP ONCE AGAIN! I'm a pretty decent player that has managed to get high on the ladder. Anyways, I currently lack the skills and confidence needed to succeed in tournaments. The main things I want to improve are my team building skills and my ability to make smarter plays. Oh, and it'd also be cool to learn how to use stall if that's possible.

ShakeItUp has agreed to tutor me.

Tell us a little about yourself: i'm a 17 year old guy from the netherlands who loves the competitive aspect of pokemon. I've been into competitive battling since black and white came out but it seems I stopped improving by myself. Therefore I hope this program will help me.
I have signed up in the removed threat too. I was post #22.

I would like to request Taylor since we have matching timezones and he wants to take it to the next level and so do I.

Your time zone and usual hours of availability: GMT+0, from 5pm to around half 9 on weekdays, and most of the time on weekends if Im not with my friends or doing homework, on the smogon server very often.

What tier do you want to learn:BW UU, RU, and LC
Tell us a little about yourself: I'm a 13 year old Londoner, in year 9 at secondary school. (I think that's grade 8? Idk, I know nothing about the American schooling system ;P)

I have been playing competitive Pokemon since around July, I'm not too shabby at uu, but despite having tried out many teams, I'm pretty rubbish at OU, struggling to get any higher than 1150 or so. i am also fairly decent at NU, peaking 4th recently.This is mainly down to two factors which I am not particularly good at: team building, and consistent laddering (I tend to have massive downwards spirals after a loss or two). I have okish prediction skills IMO , but I often tend to overlook some key factors causing me to lose a match. I quite like playing either stall or balanced teams, heavy offence just isn't my thing.


Aside from Pokemon I enjoy music a lot, and I have an extremely diverse taste in music, ranging from heavy metal to psychedelic folk to African salsa. I also enjoy hanging out with friends, playing other ds games (mainly RPGs) and playing the guitar.
Really into NU at the moment.
I go onto IRC fairly regularly, mainly on #pokemon and #neverused.
