How much do you know of each Pokemon? Names and types lol. I don't know every single move and stat of every single pokemon, but I get the idea for most of them.
How's your maths?
I'm pretty good at math. That doesn't mean I haven't had my head explode from seeing a big as formula before.

Because I said please?
What changes do you think should be made to the current metagame?
I'm pretty sure stealth rock is a given. Wiping out half the health of a pokemon just because it ENTERS THE BATTLE isn't okay. Aside from that, I think steel could use a bit of nerfing, either with additional weaknesses or with lowered defense. And Blissey, what with its insane amounts of health and all. Also, it strikes me as pointless to have a pokemon like Tropius, who is *okay* in special attack as well as attack, when you could get an Alakazam, who is aweshum in Special Attack, and a Machamp, who is Aweshum in Attack.

How much competitive battling experience do you have? Competitive? A few battles. I play PO from time to time.
How much do you know of each Pokemon?Basic memorisation of typings, secondary effects, abilities, but not as far as IV calculation or movepool memorization. I can point out common competitive sets; ie. Rapid spin Cloyster, Toxic vaporeon, etc
How's your maths? Grade 12 advanced functions and physics.
Why do you think you would be useful when testing the PU metagame?
Active on forums for over a year, active in irc, competitive personality, completionist, tired of the current metagame.
What changes do you think should be made to the current metagame?
Im tired of having battles become a formula. Its no longer about strategising, but memorising plays and responses to your oppnents plays. I want the game to let you play a rogue party, and have a good chance of winning, and rebalancing the pokes is a step in that direction.

i know most type macthups and every Pokemon except Pokemon from Pokemon from black and white
How's your maths?
pretty good i am the so far the best in my class. but i am in 6th grade learning integers for the end of the year stuff. but i am getting into avid (most of you probably don't know what it is) so i will be learning 7th,8th,and i think 9th grade stuff so i am smarts with math.
Why do you think you would be useful when testing the PU metagame?
to suggest some weaknesses and advantages to some Pokemon i guess (or whatever it is with type macthups and stuff)
What changes do you think should be made to the current metagame?
i have know idea i have never played or tested it before(or whatever)
if it is only a certain age and up i would understand that but i wont be on all the time because of school and family stuff(A.K.A at my grandmas where there is no internet or when summer vacation comes and i go to my aunts for most of it and stuff like that)

How much competitive battling experience do you have?
I played PokeLab for a while, then not much after that, but I know of basic strategies, and have experimented with my own, having some success.
How much do you know of each Pokemon?
Like many others, I have a small amount of experience with Gen V Pokemon. However, I know quite a bit about the other generations.
-Do you know names and types? Cool! But it'd be better if you knew their movepool and competitive sets.
In response to this, I do know some of the highly used movesets of some OU Pokemon and a few others
How's your maths?
I'm in 8th grade, and I am taking Geometry (honors). Currently we are working with volume and surface area of solids, which is probably one of the easiest things we've done all year. I know formulas and theorems and all that jazz. Overall, math comes easy to me.
-Bet you're wishing you passed that last exam.
I did, and, not to brag, but I haven't gotten anything lower than an A in any math class so far.
Why do you think you would be useful when testing the PU metagame?
Why do you think we should pick you?
Like I've said before, I have experience in competitive play, and with multiple Pokemon. I wouldn't mind doing some testing, and would love to help with the game.

Do you think there are big balance concerns in standard Pokemon?
Ninjask is one of my least favorite Pokemon to come up against. It is predictable, but may be slightly overpowered. The main thing is its ability to outspeed every Pokemon. If its speed were slightly reduced so that some Pokemon could get a first hit on it, I believe it could be balanced out to where it could still be very useful, but not a Pokemon that would be used on nearly every team.
