What tier do you want to learn?: BW2 OU
Tell us a little about yourself:
I am a teenager living on the West Coast of the United States who enjoys chess, philospohy and subjects that pertain to abstract thinking. I have been playing competitive Pokemon since DPP, where I played UU (this is still my best tier to date). I have recently become interested in BW2 OU, as I believe the metagame is in a transition phase due to the new Pokemon from Black 2 and White 2. However, I am not as proficient in OU as in UU and lack the courage to get involved with the community in order to become better. Thus, I find that Battling 101 would be the perfect way for me to both learn the tier and get involved with the site.
Why I should be tutored despite having less than 25 posts:
I have had reasonable success in DPP UU and BW UU, Both of which I have defeated prominent players and done well in the ladder (In DPP UU, my highest ranking was 49, but I made teams every week and all of them had a reasonable degree of success. In BW UU, I peaked at #4 on Pokemon Online during the Deo-D metagame). I also would be dedicated towards learning Pokemon, as I have been extremely active as of late and have been lurking not only the BW OU forum, but most forums on the site. I also am willing to give back to the community once I feel I know enough to comment I would be willing to contribute to parts of the forum such as the RMT forum, the C&C forum, and the Main BW2 OU forum. However, I respect that you have the right to forgo me for other people and will not get angry if you chose to do so. I also acknowledge that I write far too much for an entry post and this gives you considerable grounds to skip over me.
I wish the best of luck to fellow members of the Smogon Community who are applying for a tutor this round.
