Forum Username: NRFMatt Server Names: NO FEAR, Last_Chance Tiers you wish to teach: Wifi OU, DPP OU, Wifi UU About Me: Been playing competitive pokes for over a year, and I have learned a lot along the way. I have broken the 1500 mark on the Wifi OU ladder and got into the top 10 on the DPP OU and Wifi UU ladders. I'm very active so I shouldn't have any trouble meeting up with tutees. Aside from that, I'm a super chill guy who can get along with just about everyone. Won a good amount of battles in the Smogon Tour. A very unlucky battler.

Forum username: Blimlax Server names: Blimlax Tiers you wish to teach: Wifi Ubers About me: I'm an experienced uber player whose been playing since the start of generation 5. I have over three thousand total uber battles [dw and wifi combined] on the beta server. I've peaked #1 in DW Ubers and #2 in Wifi Ubers. Besides my ladder experience, am also an experienced tournament player. My records include going 4-1 In team showdown while playing wifi ubers, and going 7-1 in the POCl while playing wifi ubers for the sunderland seakings. I have an excellent knowledge of the uber metagame and I think I can help anyone improve in ubers, wheather they're a beginner or advanced player.

Forum username: Photoshop or [Hero]Photoshop Server names: Pokemon Online Tiers you wish to teach: Wifi UU About me: Honed the techniques of stall/balance/and hyper offensive techniques in the Wifi UU Tier. I have been playing UU exclusively since October 2011 and I love the metagame til this day. I have peaked in the ladder at 1516 in October 2012~November 2012. I have won some tournaments however I'm not very active in the Tournament channel. In terms of reality, I am 21 years old, currently going to a University and had several positions as a teaching assistant. I am a very friendly person, patient, and a hard worker. As a tutor, I will help those understand the synergy in their teams by creating original teams with the Pokemon they enjoy and bring them success to the UU ladder.

I peaked #1 PBC, #3 PO and #1 on the Smogon Standard OU ladder. In general, I like tutoring and I've been doing this for over a year as a hobby aswell. I'm known as a good battler and i want to share experience and skills with others. Although I never get luck, it's still fun to watch me play and learn and also build teams with me or test my teams out. I'd tutor anyone who wants to be a good Wifi OU player. :]] At all, i can also be a good friend at the same time. People say I'm a nice guy anyway, I was even nominated for the nicest IMP member in 2011. xd References: Luck>Skill, NRFMatt, VuvuzelaBzz, Key, SOMALIA, Suhnny, problems, Lavos Spawn, Moet, HugoTheHuge, Jin Of The Gale, TML, Z+V, Blimlax Timezone: GMT+1

While i have not tutored in this program, i did unofficially help someone, and he reached top 20 in the dw uber ladder. I pretty much know ubers inside out.

I'm pretty patient with tutees. I'm not going to teach 6 standard rain stall; if you want that, go to Donkey. I generally use different, "gimmicky" sets that are fun to play with.

Forum username: Orcelot Server names: Orcelot Tiers you wish to teach: Wifi UU. About me: I've topped the ladder in all of UU / LU / NU and I held the #1 and #2 positions on the UU ladder at the same time at one point. I'm one of the UU tier leaders and also do UU QC for the Wiki. In scripted tournaments on the server, I got first place on the leaderboard and the gold medal award the first month I actually bothered to try and I got the other two awards in the following two months, being the second person to earn all three medals. I also had a 6-1 W/L record in the POCL. That's pretty much it... I play Pokemon a lot, and I have plenty of free time so I can easily work around the timetable of whoever I tutor References: Gl4ss, xdevo Timezone: GMT +0
When, if ever, does this round begin? Wasn't the deadline quite a while ago? EDIT- Nevermind, apparently the deadline has been extended... again.
Next time I will put Pokemon before my real life responsibilities and I will try to not get sick in the only couple of free days I had. If we hadn't extended the random and basically meaningless deadline we would have less tutors (and less tutor applications) for no reason because next round is not starting before January, because most people are too busy in December to tutor / be tutored. But ok, your completely useless complaint is really helping us to get things done!
I'm not going to get into an argument with you since you'll just pull the auth card and end up infracting me for some undeserved bullshit but you and I both know that A. my post was not directed at you and not a personal attack and B. PO organization in virtually every aspect, including but not limited to the academy, is suboptimal. I couldn't possibly care even a microscopic little bit less about your opinion of me but my complaint was perfectly valid and the most useless thing posted in this thread, not to mention off topic, is what YOU just posted. That's the end of this conversation from my end but if you'd feel better by getting the last word in since teenagers tend to do that go ahead and reply.
ah! CALLOUS strikes again, only you would call a post that explains why the deadline has been extended off-topic after making two completely useless posts. Anyway discussing with you is pointless so I did a favor to both of us and deleted your tutor application, because you obviously dislike the system too much.
Forum username: Incon Server names: Incon Tiers you wish to teach: Wifi Nu About me: Ive been playing Nu for about nine months now, most of that time on Smogon. I had some #1 peaks on Smogon and most recent peaked #7 in Nu on Po. I have pretty good knowledge for the metagame. I love using Underused or Underrated mons in the tier and creating new and effective sets, as seen by my Rmt. Most recently, i was accepted as an Nu Battle Factory reviewer. Im easy to get along with and love talking about the tier. References: Luck>Skill, Michael, Celestial Phantom, Royalty Timezone: Gmt -4/5 Approved by Kneesocks

I've played LU since around May during the PO WC, a lot of my server tour wins are pretty much LU anymore, and while going 0-3 in the POCL, I had three great matches against Mysterion, Mfhoundoom, and Insane Soul. Also, I peaked at #3 and #4 over the last 2 months on the ladder.

Forum username: lol Server names: Froggy, [gk]Froggy Tiers you wish to teach: Wifi UU About me: I have basically been teaching people how to play the tiers i am good at for the last few months anyways, so i decided having an actual title behind it would be fun! I like to think I a good at Wifi UU, It's been my favorite tier for as long as i can remember, and I consistently win scripted server tours in this tier. Before they got rid of tier leaderboards I Had first on the wifi UU's leaderboard by almost double the points of the next person, and have had 1st seed since seeds came out. The highlight of my tours though would be when I won 2 straight 32+ player wifi UU event tours in the same day. Now I decided since I would be doing uu for tutor that i would actually try laddering for once, and managed with little effort to peak at 8st place (1514) in a few hours after starting. I also played and won the UU leg in the GK vs. Xclus clan war ;D which we won 3-2.

As for Shanai Cup I have been playing it for almost a year now and fully understand all the viable combinations of the tier. For all the other tiers I like to see myself as a well-rounded player who can adapt to any metagame. I'm active and will be enthusiastic about teaching beginners.

Forum username: Treecko Server names: Treecko Tiers you wish to teach: Wifi OU About me: Hi. I've been playing ou since it was created. I can and have gotten high ladder peaks, but I haven't done so in a long time because tbh I don't care about the ladder. I did peak at #1 in ubers on smogon a long time ago, and got to the top 10 on po before I got bored. I do well in the tournaments I actually care about, such as the pocl and a couple tours on smogon. I was tutored twice before, so I know I can do a good job tutoring people. Besides this stuff, I'm a 17 y/o kid from CT who for some strange reason likes to play pokemon.
