I've known about competitive Pokemon battling for quite a while, but I have never really gotten the chance to play it until recently.

I spend a little time with friends but I spend the majority of my time with my fiancee. I live in Atlanta. I make money by busting my ass in construction but that's all I can get atm.

[Magnum]

Shoddy Battle nick:justcallmemagnum

Age: 24, all of you make me feel so old

Time zone: PST (GMT -8)

Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): 8pm-12am nightly on weekdays (preferably Monday, Thursday, Friday), any time on weekends

Experience level: So green it isn't even funny. I've only become interested in competitive Pokemon very recently.

Tiers I need help in (in order of preference): OU, UU

A little about myself: I'm a freelance developer as well as a student of cognitive science - I experiment on brains for the good of science. I'm from Vancouver, Canada where I live with one human, two cats, and a troll.

So you want to mould yourself a protege? I learn fast and I'm more or less a blank slate. I'd like a lot of tutoring on team building and basic strategy for popular movesets so that I can start being creative with the options I'll have. I'm online a lot via Google Talk, so even if we're not battling and you want to talk shop or give me more things to think about that is always an option too.

[Impulsive]

Shoddy Battle nick: Madrid
Age: 21
Time zone: PST (GMT -8)
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): 1am-4am EST, 3PM -10PM EST (I really cant tell 100% but for the next few weeks I should be pretty open
Experience level: Played since RBY came out. I've beaten every game, so i'm pretty well versed in what pokemon there are out there and their movepools. It wasnt until 2008 when i got into Competitive Battling and I havent had Wi-Fi for awhile so I haven't had much one-on-one experience with others. I have made a couple teams myself, but mostly consist of sweepers and a few walls/tanks.
Tiers I need help in (in order of preference): I have zero interest in the uber tier. Mostly my interest is in OU. I need the most help in tactics and understanding team dynamics.
A little about myself: I'm currently looking for work right now as a Pharmacy Technician to start making a decent amount of money and support myself. In my free time I like to fence(the sport, not the walls separating houses) and play games such as Morrowind and Age of Mythology, and of course, Pokemon.

Thank you for your consideration.

All tutors have been assigned. Sorry to those who missed out -- we had a very limited number of tutors this round.

Good luck and happy tutoring.
