This Ask Me Anything (AMA) thread is a resource provided to you by the Smogon Mentorship Program. In it, feel free to ask this mentor about anything you'd like. They're most prepared to answer Smogon-related questions, but don't be afraid to ask them about their personality and life outside of this site. Have some patience when you post a question in this thread; it will likely take the mentor a few days to reply. If you're looking for our up-to-date list of mentors, check out our Mentor Profiles onsite. Read through their relevant information below, and enjoy!
Username: Superpowerdude
Areas of Expertise: Rate My Team, Little Cup, The Smog
Background: I came to smogon in early 2012, after I heard about pokemon online with the intention of having my teams rated and becoming a better Pokemon player. I spent my first few months n the rmt forum posting teams that weren't so good haha. After being there a while I decided I really wanted a badge so I starting rating teams frequently, I looked up to other users that I saw get badged after rating (Destiny Unkown, Sayonara, Jimbon, Jirachi) The rmt forum could tell that I was trying but I needed help to make my rates better, some rmt forum members gave me a lot of help and I eventually got badged on my birthday that year lol (October 8) Since then I have branched out to Little Cup, and The Smog, earning two more badges and then a few months ago I quit the site, having not as much time and other priorities. I have recently come back to the site and am resuming my duties as a mentor! :D
Hobbies Keeping fit haha the Barrstarzz are very good motivation for me and they do a lot of crazy body weight excercises check them out of youtuve if you haven't seen them, mma is another hobby of mine, hanging out with friends (of course lol) my music tastes are very broad but practically the only band I listen to at the moment is Korn lol. Oh and I have started getting into lucid dreaming but I'm not to good :O
Favourite Pokemon Its to hard to pick one and my favourites are forever changing so I'm just going to say Furfrou :P
Good Questions to Ask Me Team rating, getting involved in RMT, and The Smog, Htmling, generally my experiences with fitting into smogon culture, ask me questions about my life if you want, but its pretty boring haha ummm I ask questions about LC, in particular B/W LC since I'm very knowledgable there. I have not even bothered playing xy OU so chances are you are better than me at it :P there are a lot of mentors that play OU though so that will help :P but if you are thinking of asking a question and not sure if you should just ask! The worst thing that could happen is I don't know the answer so I will link you to another mentor that probably does. There are no stupid questions (unless you are trying to troll) lol
