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!
Areas of Expertise: Rate My Team, Battling 101, Competitive Discussion, Contributions & Corrections, Congregation of the Masses, Tournaments, The Smog
Background: I joined these forums in 2011 and immediately jumped into Rate My Team because the culture of the forum was appealing and I really wanted to learn to be an effective rater like San_Pellegrino and New World Order were. I was horrible at first and decided to take a break. I jumped into C&C during my RMT hiatus and soon earned my ladybug. A little while later, I discovered the Dream World metagame and started playing that competitively. I wrote analyses and eventually joined the tiering council. I got my Community Contributor and Contributor badges during this time period. However, when Dream World began to flop, Delko convinced me to pick up rating again, and I soon earned my Team Rater badge. I went on to become a moderator in possibly the most controversial period of time for RMT ever and have been a mod there ever since, even becoming a badgeleader for a period of time. I was modded in Overused at the same time of my RMT nomination for running projects; I later branched out and began to focus more on my tutoring and Overused contributions. Eventually, I became a co-leader of tutoring with Limitless under Bloo. I also started to write articles for The Smog, and frequently contributed articles about the metagame, featured Pokemon, and featured RMTs. Shortly before BW ended, I relinquished most of my duties for the future generations of Smogonites to fill. However, I still retain my position in RMT, the place where I started out!
Hobbies: Most of my waking hours are spent slacking in school, playing tennis, playing Project M, or watching TV.
Favorite Pokemon: Poochyena / Dragonite
Good Questions to Ask Me: You can honestly ask me anything (just like the title says)! I know the ropes around here and I have been active in nearly every forum.
