Welcome to Pokebeach's Trainer School! I am Joeypals!! and I will be the principal (owner) of this along with being one of the High School teachers. As my present to Pokebeach, I will make a tutoring thread for anyone and everyone to use, from people who have never used Shoddy to people who are good who need help here and there. Now, to lay out some guidelines:
1. This is a discussion group, NOT a battling clan! If you are in something else (example: Team Dimensional), you will not be forced to leave the group.
2. No spamming
3. If you just need quick help, do NOT fill out the full registration form.
I would like to now list the teachers:
Palkia Dialga Clash: Palkia Dialga Clash is the leader of Team Dimensional, currently the number one battling group on Pokebeach. PDC has plenty of accomplishments, the most recent being placing in the top 8 of the Master Cup.
Teacher Position: College Teacher
dragonexpert: dragonexpert is the co-leader of Team Dimensional along with a moderator on the site. DE has been on plenty of leaderboards, getting very high with three different teams. In the Master Cup, he would have gotten much further than he did, but unfortunately for him got haxxed by Joeypals!! in the 3rd round. Despite this, he had a perfect offseason and is excellent overall.
Teacher Position: College Teacher
Joeypals!!: Appearing on the scene a year ago, Joeypals!! has slowly caught onto how this metagame works. He is now in the 2nd highest ranking of Team Dimensional, mostly due to ranking reworking. Joeypals!! placed in the Top 16 of the Master Cup, but only because he haxxed out dragonexpert. Besides that, Joeypals!! has won two wars for Team Dimensional and placed 4th in the KO tournament, hosted by Limitless a long time ago.
Teacher Position: High School Teacher
Batui4: Batui4 came to Pokebeach only seven months ago, but has caught up to the caliber of Joeypals!!, now seeming to always fall just short of winning. Sadly, this has kept him from getting many accomplishments, only reaching round 2 of the Master Cup.
Teacher Position: High School Teacher
TheDarkLucario: TheDarkLucario started competitive battling in late 2009 as a moderate Little Cup player. At the beginning of 2010, he converted to Standard OU, where he gradually learned from watching stars like Kevin Garrett and Earthworm. Although still learning, TDL will gladly take anyone under his wing as a student. Students are free to call him TDL, or by his real name, James.
Teacher Position: Elementary School Teacher
Void: Void has tutored many people, not only new battlers but some of whom who could be considered already "good". Void specialises in teambuilding and synergy, and has constructed many solid teams. His preferred battling styles are stall and semi-stall, but he can create good offensive teams as well. In terms of personal accomplishments, he has had alts on many leaderboards, on Smogon he has had one at 1604 CRE on the OU leaderboard, 6th place at the time, and a few alts on the top 20 of the suspect leaderboard. He has been top of a few leaderboards on Pokemon Online, most of those leaderboards being OU, and has won many tournaments on both PO and Shoddy.
Teacher Position: College Teacher
Hyperbeem: Hyperbeem is a Team Dimensional Commander, the highest battling rank, with a couple years of experience. He will teach students how to play many styles and build teams for various situations. Also, Hyperbeem will teach a lesson on prediction and over prediction. Hyperbeem is a 14 year old in 9th grade and has been noted as a good teacher in not only Pokemon.
Teacher Position: Junior High Teacher
Ice_Master: Ice_Master is a member of the well known clan, Team Dimensional. He started battling less than a year ago, but has gotten better at battling and deeply improved his understanding of the metagame. Ice_Master knows how it feels to be the new person in field of battling. That's why I_M became an Elementary school teacher. He wants to show the new kids around the metagame so they can be more independant faster than he did.
Teacher Position: Elementary School Teacher
giratina487: giratina487 is the leader of Team Cypher, a newer, less popular team than Team Dimensional. He's relatively new to competitive battling but has been learning fast. He wants students to learn and understand how to battle with a team that fits their playstyle, and will require a battle to be able to help you as efficiently as possible.
Teacher Position: Junior High Teacher
I have enough teachers! However, I will still accept a few. I would like it to be Team Dimensional members OR leaders of other battling clans. Moderators such as CCloud are also eligible. Fill out the registration form below and send it to me. I will either accept or deny you.
Name:
Shoddy name:
Do you have MSN or something like that?
How do you think you can help the students:
What accomplishments do you have?
What position would you like?
Now, for those of you wanting tutoring, pay attention to this section too. I am going to layout a certain guideline set for you:
1. If you would like to move up and "graduate", you must PM your tutorer that you would like to take an exam based on what you learned. This can either be a battle or a quiz, depending on what the teacher wants. For the quiz, I would like it to be 10 questions. If the student gets 8 out of 10 correct, he may move up. If not, he/she must wait another week before retesting.
2. If you would like to drop-out, you may feel free so. However, if you do try to return, you will be placed one spot lower than last time.
I have a registration form for you. All students are welcome. Also, request where you would like to be. Bold a part of the last question to determine placement. PM this to me.
