Currently I am #2 w/ 1388 Cre behind Wobbs. On PS LC Ladder I am #3 (I'm Get Donked ) with a record 73 - 15. I can play both metas well. I was in the POCL playing LC for the Hamburg Heracross and ended with a record of 4-3 (My last match was haxy so that's how I ended). I am in the LCPL on smogon as TehMexicanDewd playing for Deino Unchained w/ a current record of 2-1 (It's only week 3 atm). Did a LC CCAT on smogon and I think I finished #2 (Idk the forums aren't up). Also I've won a subforum tour here.

    Previous Involvement with the PO League: Were you previously a Gym Leader or Elite Four? n.

    Time-Zone: Which GMT time zone are you on? edt (-4:00)

    References: List at least two references who are in high standing within the community, and can attest to your battling skill personality. References are the first thing we will look at when picking Gym Leaders, so make sure they're good. jorgen, mdragon, casedvictory, finchinator, undisputa, (n)hot sxy (and unsurprisingly) available, treecko, dual blades kirito.

    About Me and Accomplishments: Here is where you can tell us a little about yourself and list any and all accomplishments, ladder peaks, and the like. nah. i got a positive record in RBY in this powc. 3 teams wanted me this powc and had to say no to 2 of them. used to tutor a lot at smogon fer dpp, idk why i still have the badge. managing the robogroudons of UPL this season. ladder accomplishments to me mean absolutely nothing on the older-gen ladders since 90% of the people there aren't very good at all though i think that is why UKI wanted me to GSC for them since at the time i peaked #1 and was consistently in the top 3, at which time, i would say the top 5 was any decent at GSC. went 3-3-1 in spl 3 for tigers across a buncha tiers. 10-4 in POWC. 1-0 in GSC. 2-1 in DPP and rest in RBY.

    Gym positions you wish to apply to: RBY. CC. the two luck-based ones since i just like playing ballsy. if im a gym leader, i cbf actually building serious teams, i just want to use gimmicks and have fun. i could do DPP too, but dont expect me to actually use many srs teams if i get that.

    Hey, I'm pretty new, but very passionate about Pokémon. I am very familiar the Kanto region, and the Pokémon therein, but not as familiar with the other regions. I would appreciate going under your wing, so to speak, as your apprentice. I am 16 and I also live in the West Coast of the beautiful USA. My favorite Pokémon would have to be Ivysaur, with Sandlash/Sandshrew as a close second. I learn fast and I like to think that I humble enough to recognize when somebody is a better trainer than myself. I hope to ascend the ranks and one day be a Pokémon Master. I am a good loser and I show good sportsmanship. Please respond whenever you can. I am typically on the Academy channel, but if you don't find me there, my phone number [nope].

    About Me and Accomplishments: Well, I can do most tiers quite well, Monotype being my best. I hover around the first page on the ladder when I'm not testing. Peaked in OU at almost 1400. Peaked on the first page in LU, I have a solid UU team, I just never really play it, and I also peaked in LC on the first page.

    Blimlax

    I loved our match in POWC and discussions! Thank you so much for your vouch!​

    Bugzinator:

    1. "Having spent plenty of time battling and working in the Wifi Ubers tier, Msyu has vast knowledge and experience with the Ubers matagame. Because of this knowledge they are able to utilise a wide variety of team styles and are therefore extremely versatile in this tier."

    2. "Msyu is right up there with the very best that I have faced. We have had many battles together and I have also watched their matches, going toe-to-toe with and defeating many notable players, I know that Msyu won't be defeated by anyone who doesn't bring their A-game."

    3. "Msyu is the architect of some revolutionary ideas in Ubers, having achieved great success with their Trick Room team. Ideas like these is something that cements Msyu's position as a real leader in the development of the Ubers metagame."

    /in tears ;_; I am so touched and flattered too.​

    CasedVictory

    Thank you for your vouch and letting me ramble on about how perfect Utau is. <3​

    Captain:

    1. "Msyu is not only a pro Ubers player and a nice friendly user, but I heard **Removed by Request**"

    2. "okay dont put the bear* part."

    *Apparently he heard that I grotesquely beat a bear to death with my "BEAR HANDS" ("ohohoh pun"), and somehow this rumor will make me more qualified to be a Gym Leader... Please note and be reassured that I am completely innocent of this crime to nature and cute wildlife.​

    Carl Murray

    If the all-powerful Carl Murray believes in me... this could mean something...!​

    Finchinator:

    "Msyu is a very nice user and also an unconventional, but effective battler."

    Yay! Thank you so much for vouching for me and you're really nice too and a crazy battler and community leader and team-builder... but perhaps maybe a bit lacking when it comes to being cool. :<​

    Hannah:

    "I think Msyu is an amazing battler and a spectacular candidate for ubers gym leader. Their activity on the server is great and a swell person to have around. Gives constant help for Ubers team building and is an all around good buddy. A perfect candidate for ubers gym leader."

    Thank you so much for your vouch and kind words!!​

    Luck>Skill

    Thank you so much for your vouch. :o​

    MasterxLeon

    Thank you for your vouch!!​

    Maxedofhaxed (Wifi Ubers player in Team Canada):

    "Msyu is extremely kind and an excellent battler."

    You are too and certainly one amazing human bullet shield in POWC! I can't thank you enough!​

    MeowMix:

    "Msyu backs up potent skill with the ability to crit everything that could possibly be a threat :D"

    Wow, thanks for this accurate quote! The ability to control critical hits pretty much makes up for however under-qualified I may be for the Gym Leader position, right? Thank you so much for your vouch!​

    MewtwoHidden:

    "Msyu is a strong Ubers player."

    Likewise. Thank you for your vouch. : )​

    Mibuchiha

    My gosh, you made me work so hard just to put your name here. I'm not even going to hold back on describing how much you slaved me for this vouch. You better be prepared for the worse...

    First I had to...
    Entertain you without getting forced into agreeing that Clannad is apparently a god-tier anime (Only Shugo Chara can claim this title), just to carry out a conversation with you. Next I had to...
    Confess that I was an evil, manipulative person who ONLY befriended you for references. Then I had to do the impossible in trying to...
    Explain the reasons behind making such an application when Problems is already guaranteed the gym...
    Then I had a task which was apparently a hundred times more inexplicably illogical than the last by attempting to...
    Convince you of all that I just did and said was actually a farce, and that I was just innocently...
    Trying my hardest to make you laugh in this dark, dreary, and gloomy world... because I like you you don't seem to get enough of that from people around here. But then even worse is when you ignored all my good intentions and insensitively stated...
    "Time out, I don't think I get this fully" To which I was forced to explain once more...
    "It's a joke, why don't you get that I'm trying my very best, out of my normal, just to entertain you?" And then you started to...
    Tell me that my honest stabs made you more confused than entertained, to which I... I... just couldn't bear it anymore and...
    Cried my heart out. But instead of comforting me you decided to...
    Criticize my jokes and all my effort, stating that it wasn't "dark" enough for you, which is...
    Dumb really, especially when you started preaching on how you think comedy REALLY works. So as helpless as I was, I did the only thing I could and...
    Went to the "Goddess of Comedy", Mashiro Rima-chan, and fervently begged for any guidance and mercy she had for me, to which you, upon seeing this, decided to tantalizingly mock me by...
    Testing my commitment to the "Shugo Chara Cult" with an...
    Evilly advanced theological question known only to the freaking members in priesthood (apparently you are one of them), and the question was...
    "What's the meaning of Amu's name?", which was despicable of you, knowing that I... [hide]Am obviously not a participant of the "Shugo Chara Cult", or any cult for that matter, but even worse is when you... [hide]Decided that I had nothing more to say that could possibly entertain you any longer. So you threw me into the trash and went back to your so called, "lurker mode", and therefore basically... [hide]Completely ignored all my heartfelt emotions and efforts to [s]seduce[/s] entice you into [s]being one of my many slaves[/s] vouching for me, but actually... [hide]You're not that bad... and vouched for me after all. As promised, I gave you the free $1,999,999.99 at 30% interest (compounded every five minutes) for the [s]rest of your life[/s] next twenty years, retail priced gift I mentioned earlier in the "LIGHT" joke even (what a steal)... [hide]Which, if you're sooo curious to know as to what it was, reader... you should click the next "Secret" tag. [hide]A mind-blowingly impressive snuggle. [hide]... I can tell you're rather disappointed, but let me tell you this first... [hide]Leading a conversation to just the right moment, just to ask of a vouch from people... is a case by case, isolated scenario! It is an extremely tedious, time-consuming, and humbling vanity of tasks. And I have learnt never to do this again or risk my sanity and charming good looks... [hide]Just kidding (reassuringly not about my good looks or my sanity for that matter)! It was a lot of fun using this opportunity to talk to a lot of users! Some people, I knew very well, while others I didn't know too well and just had to sell myself (entrepreneurially). But it just adds so much data to my obsessive user profiling! Thanks for clicking all these "Secret" tags! I hope you enjoyed [s]getting manipulated by me (at the very least into clicking excessively on all these little tags)[/s] this little (true) story of mine![/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide][/hide]

    Michael

    "You're really good at ubers, i saw a lot of your battles. Unconventional teams too."

    Thank you very much for your vouch! ^^​

    Problems:

    PROBS: You're the only guy whos I played
    PROBS: And lost 'fair' to*

    *In Pokémon Online World Cup.

    Omgsh, god of Wifi Ubers. /worships​

    Texas Cloverleaf (Captain of Team Canada):

    1. "dis nigga da bess"

    2. "Msyu went undefeated* in Ubers for Team Canada in POWC. Their team style is limited, but has perfected the play in the tier. No higher recommendation for Gym Leader."

    *In the qualifiers.

    My boss! <3​

    Windblown (Well Shoutout):

    "...Also a champion Ubers battler even though you’re really weak* to my teams for some reason lol"

    *I share and discuss all my team's intimate details with Windblown, so you know who to go to if you want to counter me.

    -.- I will only give you this much.​

    About Me and Accomplishments: Hi! I am Msyu and I have been playing Pokémon competitively since the release of Black/White 2. I spend a lot of time battling others and developing my skills in the Wifi Ubers tier. I really love the learning relationship between players, so I tutor others (some from my POWC team and others from here and there) and am tutored myself by notable players of the tier such as Project Oppenheimer, MasterxLeon, and MewtwoHidden frequently.

    POWC: I have many teams that work well for me competitively. I am currently Co-Captain for Team Canada in POWC and it's a lot of fun convening with teammates, as well as meeting many great players from around the world - especially those from my tier such as Blimlax and Problems. I have a healthy win/loss ratio at 8:1 (undefeated in qualifiers). Although it was only a few matches (and more to come), they've given me an unforgettable competitive experience.

    Ladder: In terms of laddering, I've done a few thousand matches at least. I've gotten 1600+ a few times (peaked ladder at 1683) on various alternate accounts. As I only use the ladder for team-building purposes, I'm not sure how much of an accomplishment these peaks may be, but I've had my lot in the tier.

    Teams/Style: I really really love my teams and I put a lot of meticulous thought and designing into them. I tend to lean towards unorthodox play and team styles, while more fragile and delicate to play and develop, can be much more rewarding once a solid understanding is established. I'm not completely sure how this mentality started, but it has been the dominant way I approach Pokémon.

    Thank you for taking the time to read and consider my application. If there are any further inquiries in regards to the position, I am best reached through the forum's private messaging system or on the Pokémon Online Server in the channel #Shugo Chara.

    About Me and Accomplishments: I've been playing pokes for about 3 years now, tournaments wise I won quite a lot, played in all the major tournaments on both PO and Smogon (POWC, SPL, WCoP, POWC), I'm a jack of all trades, I haven't really specialized in any tier, I find restricting yourself to a single tier quite boring, pokemon is a funny game because it is vast! I don't ladder so yeah, I have no ladder accomplishment to show off, the last time I laddered with the intent of getting high I got to like 1560 in Wifi OU (was top 10 at the time) in about 50 battles

    About Me and Accomplishments: Once I wanted to draw the Unown alphabet, so I googled it and found Serebii. Serebii's PotW was my first glimpse into competitive. Sometimes they quoted Smogon, so I checked that out and I got onto Shoddy Battle. I got trained to the meta there until it closed a year later. That's when I moved to PO and continued to train for the past two years. I have skills in teambuilding and strategy development. Heather Star also made me MU one or two years ago but I doubt she remembers.
    On V1 I oftentimes topped the CC ladder but I haven't bothered much on V2. Shortly after Battle Factory was introduced, I got up to about #2 or #3 on the same day. I haven't won any major tournaments, but I often win #Tournaments, usually Fun Tiers, OU, or Ubers.
    I enjoy showing around people around PO or giving crash courses to complete newcomers on competitive battling. I am also known for my politeness and patience. I make an effort to push myself as a supportive person.

    About Me and Accomplishments: I will focus only on the accomplishments that are relevant to the position to which I am applying.

    With over 11 years of experience, I am one of the longest-tenured players of the competitive Pokemon community. I started out on GameFAQs, where, in 2003, I set the record for most tournaments won in one calendar year with 13. In these tournaments I was able to secure wins against the likes of Nitro200, undone, Hipmonlee, JMC, Lesm, kuleguy18, VietStriker, metalscyther, and other well-known fossils from antiquity. However, while most of these players either faded into obscurity or rested on their laurels at Smogon where they were protected by sycophants, I forged a reputation as one of the greatest RBYers of all time. After GameFAQs died in 2005 I created my own RBY community, THE Alternative, which is by far the most successful RBY community ever. From December 2005 to May 2008, THE Alternative hosted 30 tournaments--no other community to this day (not even RBY2K10) witnessed this much RBY tournament activity in this time period. I was a focal point of THE Alternative, having won over 15 of these tournaments against RBY greats such as Slayer, SamG, HcM, and Yellow. In addition to THE Alternative's dedicated userbase, famous players from Smogon and Germany such as ViL, peter pan, Majin Tupac Z, Picollo, Cloggerdude, and others also participated in our tournaments.

    Although I left an indelible mark on English-speaking forums, I am also known for wanting to broaden my horizons. In 2006 I made my debut in the German circuit, where I participated in Pokemonexperte's first RBY tournament. I was able to defeat top players Cerberus and Robo on my way to the finals, where I met the legend himself, peter pan. I won the BO3 in three games, becoming the first American to have won a tournament in Pokemonexperte. Later that year, I entered a multi-gen team tournament with peter pan as one of my partners. Peter pan was the captain, and he recognized my RBY skills by choosing me as the RBY player. I was the only member of our team to have gone undefeated in that tournament, a tournament in which I defeated a young jira in the finals. In 2007 I won both an RBY UU tournament and an RBY tradebacks tournament to complete the RBY cycle (OU, UU, trades).

    I also completed the cycle at Pokefans, where I won an UU tournament in 2007 and then tournaments in the other two modes in 2008. In these tournaments I defeated the best that the German circuit had to offer, such as jira, Majin, Sapientia, GG, cune, Binabik, Michiele, DerDomme, and others. Despite the fact that, until my recent tournament victory in May, I did not play in an RBY tournament at Pokefans for five years, I am still first on the won tournament list. I participated in 6 RBY tournaments, winning 4 of them. If you combine my record at Pokemonexperte, I've won 7 out of 10 RBY tournaments in a two-year period (not including the team tournament).

    In 2010, I joined RBY2K10 as the veteran player against the new generation of RBY. For the most part my luck was rather bad in a few tournaments, but I do have the distinction of having won the first tournament in the site's history. Nonetheless, my time at RBY2K10 taught me that it's always a good idea to change things up. Several players knew that, with rare exceptions, I never changed my team. My famous tournament team that had won me 30 tournaments or so had ran its course--it was a time for a change. However, I was burned out from Pokemon in 2011, having competed so much for nine years. I went on hiatus for about a year. In 2012 I made a comeback on Netbattle's server, where I had three consecutive seven-game winning streaks against the RBY regulars. My success on Netbattle served as the impetus for my urge to compete at Pokemon Online. By December I started competing on the ladder, where I reached the #2 rank with two different accounts before leaving for a bit. In March of 2013 I returned to the ladder as a man on a mission. In less than a week I took the #1 spot and held it for three weeks before losing it because of inactivity. I recently regained it, peaking with a score of 1400+. I have used the same team on the ladder, a team which had a record of 102-28 before I stopped counting.

    My success was not limited to the ladder, however. In May I entered my first RBY tournament on Pokefans in five years. In the semi-finals I faced Conflict, who is considered by many to be the best German player today. I won the third game of the BO3 in what is a sure-fire candidate for match of the year. More importantly, I would also win this tournament.

    I don't know what more I could accomplish in this metagame. I still play it because I enjoy it for its simplicity, yet I do find that, more often than not, games will be won by the better player. Being a PO gym leader will give me the opportunity to play other people, possibly learn some new things, and hopefully have some memorable games. Most of all, though, it will give me the chance to share my knowledge with other players. I'd like to help people who want to become better, whether it be by playing them or giving them advice.
