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.

Username: blarajan
Areas of Expertise: Little Cup, Contributions & Corrections, Rarelyused, IRC, being cute

Background: I am the Little Cup tier leader. I'm 19 years old, attend the University of Maryland College Park, and double major in Psychology and Criminology. I want to be a defense attorney. I am also the best Indian on this site.

Hobbies: Listening to music, playing this stupid game, board games (diplomacy, risk, axis and allies, etc...I started a club at school with my roommate), video games, reading, television (I watch Glee am I more or less fabulous than Oglemi?), MOCK TRIAL, being with friends

Favorite Pokemon: Ampharos

Good Questions to Ask Me: If you have any questions at all about Little Cup or anything related to it, I got you. I play all of the Gen 5 tiers though, and can probably just answer any Smogon related question anyways. I'm good with C&C and run the Little Cup stuff with it, and am a C&C mod. I'm involved with most official tournaments and can answer questions. Really just ask whatever.

who the fuck let you mod in the first place

when did you pop up anyways? you were gen 5 y/y
 
what is, in your opinion, the best new pokemon in little cup?
out of the gen 6 pokemon? swirlix, in my opinion. it is the most potent sweeper and is capable of tearing apart teams with ease. out of all of the pokemon? sneasel and gligar are the biggest cunts.

when is sneasel getting banned?
shhhh

How do you plan to lead gen 6 lc
Is there a pre-ban list or so(aside from sneasel and scyther lolol)
1) I plan to lead Gen 6 LC as well as I possibly can. I am trying to give the community as much power in tiering as possible by allowing them to choose the suspects via ladder requirement, selecting four individuals from the pool that voted to join the council for a particular vote, and by changing the council members when more qualified individuals arise. I am trying to keep Little Cup as fresh and exciting as possible, and as welcoming as possible by actively talking with other members and making sure Little Cup players feel welcome discussing and participating.

2) Yeah it's here, along with all of the other gen 6 rules. An introduction thread to Little Cup can be found here. Also, Sneasel wasn't included in the preban list. Only Scyther, Dragon Rage, and Sonicboom were (Moody is claused).

What is the main draw to LC as a tier?

Would you recommend it for someone to learn it as their first tier? If so, why so? If not, why not?
 
Do you think the knock off buff has changed LC for the better or worse?

Why does your avatar feature purple monsters killing an Aron?

Who are some of the most recent players to join LC (last couple of months or so) that have shown a lot of potential to contribute towards the tier and community?

How would you like the staple LC playerbase to help you make LC a good and successful community in XY?

I think that Little Cup is quite fun. That's really it, personally. Pokemon is a game we play for fun, and Little Cup is a refreshing change of pace with adorable monsters that are really fun to play with. It's new and exciting.

I probably wouldn't recommend it as a first tier to be quite honest since the mechanics are so different, but if it is your first tier really, more power for you.

FUCK KNOCK OFF IT'S SHITTY

My avatar is a picture made by Yilx about my Ubers team that I laddered obsessively with to the enjoyment of most of #pokemon. It only used Little Cup Pokemon (the team was Aron, Hippopotas, Lileep, Koffing, Misdreavus, and Tentacool). I had an over 50% win rate.

why do you feel that people judge LC as a lesser tier?
I genuinely don't know. The majority of individuals that bash the tier don't actually even play it. I feel as if that's just an overall Smogon culture that's difficult to get around, and frankly it's quite disappointing and upsetting.

Thoughts on Skrelp in LC?
1) n
2) I think the tier is balanced. I do not think anything makes anything else unviable. I just wish it was more fun. I wish the leaders were more active at the time and that more concern was given for the players.
3) be less shitty
4) yes
5) ADAPTABILITY WHY

y r u so trash n_n

1) i like ssin and sparktrain and a lot of new guys, they're great
2) Just participate as much as you can. Start as many projects as you can, get as many people playing as you can. Just have as much fun as you can.

Why is Yanma so underrated among the freed mons when it is pro af?

Do you actually trust Oglemi's fashion advice when he admits that he has no sense of fashion? Do you think that makes him a terrible gay?

What was your favorite LC pokemon to in gen 5? Has that changed for gen 6?

Why are people with half op status in #rarelyused so amazing?
