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!
Username: SuperJOCKE
Areas of Expertise: Contributions & Corrections, The Smog, Orange Islands, RarelyUsed
Background: I joined in June 2010, and began posting somewhat regularly in Uncharted Territory later that year when Black & White were on their way. In, let's say, May I started actively contribute to this site by writing analyses for BW UU; after that I went on to write RU analyses, and then NU analyses as well. Later in 2011 I began my GP checking, and made the team fairly quick. I've written a fair ammount of analyses, and I've done a lot of GP work around the site; I've done so for a while now. At some point in early 2012 I began working with the Smog, mostly GP checking articles. After a while I also started writing some articles of my own (three of them together with my friend and fellow mentor, sandshrewz) for the webzine, which you can now read onsite. That's pretty much the bulk of my contributions to this site. My competitive history as been a bit of a rollercoaster; I started playing more seriously with BW UU, then went on to add RU and NU to the list. I later started to dislike the RU metagame, and I stopped playing it while continuing on with NU mainly. Some time went by and I grew to dislike both UU and NU more and more for different reasons, and RU and its community started to appeal to me once again. I went back to playing RU exclusively, dropping NU and UU completely. If you wanna know more (like my true origins of this site) well, you'll have to ask me.
Hobbies: Videogames, videogames, and videogames. Oh, did I mention that I like playing videogames? I'm also a big fan of speedrunning and I love to watch both videos and live streams of them. I might also pick up it myself sometime in the future.
Favorite Pokemon: Scrafty
Good Questions to Ask Me: If you are looking for a helping hand when it comes to writing analyses or articles, or if you are interested in joining me and my fellow GP checkers in checking other peoples analyses and articles for grammatical errors, I make a pretty darn good choice.
