We like to have a strong interaction with our readers here on PokéJungle, and although we do get involved in the discussions with you guys in the comments, we don’t always get the opportunity to hear from each of you directly. We’re going to trial something new here: Ask PokéJungle. Dae Asks you, so why shouldn’t you ask us?
The title should make it pretty clear what this is about, but for those who haven’t quite grasped that yet: we want questions from you guys. Questions about anything, this is your chance to get the answers to any burning questions you have. We will do our best to answer as many as we can, assuming they’re suitable of course (if anyone asks anything that we perceive as unsuitable we will ignore and remove it). If this takes off you can expect to see it published as a monthly feature on the site, with a little focus on the latest Pokémon news in the future. We will also feature our favourite questions in the next post.
If you have questions for a specific staff member make it known so that we can get them in to answer for you. So, yeah? Have at it! Questions about absolutely anything, Pokémon related or not, fire away! This is your chance to get to know a little more about us, or anything you can think of.

You have one Pokemon that you picked as your starter…this Pokemon then gives you an idea (it can’t speak tho) of becoming a superhero based off of your starter. What would be your starter and what powers would you have as an *insert superhero Pokémon related name here*?
Rotom. Which essentially makes me Danny Phantom, but I’m much cooler. I’d be some sort of electric-poltergeist. Plasmaman, not to be confused with Plasma-dan. Maybe Plasman?
Definitely Rotom, and definitely electrical powers. I really like this idea.
Hi, I was hoping you guys could tell me which past X and Y rumours were confirmed by all the recent news. I know thta there were a bunch of rumours that started circulating during the slow news period and now that some have been confirmed I think we should revisit them. So which rumours can we confirm are true now?
Well, we still can’t fully confirm rumours as there’s a chance some stuff was thrown in there to flesh things up. We’ve definitely seen things like sky battles confirmed. I think we could get a post up of this, so look out for that, rather than us running through them all in comments!
Did you email me about this? Sorry, I know someone did and I’ve been super busy with school so I didn’t get a chance to respond. Pokebeach did a decent write up of it already so you can check it out there if you want 🙂
What are your expectations for the anime (if you follow it)?
Will there be new sections over the next 6 months?
I don’t follow the anime, but I think I may begin watching when the XY seasons begin.
What do you mean by new sections?
New columns, trivia, things like that.
Oh, most definitely! Things are a little slow at the moment, just waiting for things to shift into gear then everyone should be getting new content out. Don’t forget, if you’ve got any ideas or things you want to see in articles you can always let us know, either in the comments or through email.
There’ll definitely be something new for XY, I think it’ll start by October in Japan 🙂
To be honest I don’t watch it :s
I don’t follow the anime anymore. The last time I got my hopes up was the Unova League battle against the Eeeveelution trainer. Was so disappointed by that episode that I stopped caring for all the rest.
Not really a question but I just want to let you guys know I really appreciate your website. This is a pokemon site BY FANS FOR FANS.
Thank you <3
If you guys were asked to be a Gym Leader of ANY region what region would you pick and why? For additional information, you can add what type you would center around, what Pokemon you are going to have in your team, and how strong are you going to be. Number wise like the first gym leader, or like the last. 😀
Johto. They need a Grass-type gym and I’ve always liked the region.
I’d probably run a Sunny Day style team with Cherrim/Exeggutor/Tropius/Castforme
Sinnoh, and I would probably go for Electric. Replace Volkner and be 179% more awesome 😉
Hoenn. I’d be a fairly strong trainer (between 6 and 8) but I’d take vacation all the time 😀
I don’t rly have a ”burning” question so i’ll just ask something simple. What are your Favorite Pokemon!? mines Vaporeon 🙂
I love Cherrim, Carnivine, Sewaddle, Leavanny, Parasect and some others which I can’t remember right now :S
Like I said before, definitely Rotom, closely followed by Quagsire 🙂
Cloyster, Whimsicott, Conkeldurr, Darmanitan
Woah, that’s a hard one..
Feraligatr has always been one of my big favorites, same with Yanma and Remoraid. I’ve loved Scolipede and Toxicroak since I’ve first seen them as well.
And I absolutely love Clauncher, he’s my favorite new Pokemon.
How do you think Hidden Power Fairy will work this gen and what IVs will it based around?
Hmmmm… not a clue D:
I’m guessing they’ll make HP auto-70 damage and make the type selectable, or they don’t add fairy to HP and leave it alone. I think that the damage being dependent on IV’s is ridiculous. Only two pokemon that are Special attackers benefit( Mr. Mime and Roseraid that is, having Technician), and even though those who wasted hours trying to get the right IV might have just done it for nothing, I think it’s way better in the long run.
What are you guys personally looking forward to in X&Y and the future of the Pokemon series?
The new cel-shaded battles 🙂
Same here, and what feature are you most impressed by so far?
I’m not entirely sure. I’m just excited for all of it! As for the future I want to see how they could mix up the long followed game format.
I see, I’m just excited to see what the future holds for the franchise.
What feature are you most impressed by (from any generation) so far?
Hmmm, that’s something difficult to answer. I can remember when they sort of introduced the 3D-ish cutscenes in Diamond and Pearl I was really impressed, then as they got better leading up to BW2 I grew even more impressed. Sure they weren’t really spectacular compared to the graphics of other games, but it was the first time we’d seen something like it in handheld Pokémon.
I think X & Y will definitely introduce even more cutscenes. Something I’m quite looking forward to I guess!
I’m really looking forward to the Pokemon, honestly. I’m having such a fun figuring out the bases of each one, and they’ve shown off a ton of unique new animals I’ve been waiting for!
Everything is exciting, especially new Pokémon. I’d have to say 3D battles are definitely the stand out thing atm. When I saw the original trailer at college I could barely contain my excitement. I think everyone in the college library was giving me funny looks. As for the future I would really like to see the 8 gyms and elite 4 structure change. I don’t mind the gym thing so much, but I would prefer a tournament for the final like in the anime.
what do you think the odds are that one of the starters might end up as part fairy
Slim to none 🙁
Yeah, probably zero chance. I guess there’s a slim possibility…
This gen? Very small chance. They kinda want to balance the starters, and making one a Fairy can make it too favourable compared to the other two.
But the gens after this? It’s possible, although unlikely.
Not this gen, but I can see the addition of Fairy type possibly allowing us to have a dragon-type final starter in a future generation– since Dragon now has more weaknesses.
How did you come up with the idea of making this website? Did you ever think it would be this popular?
When I was in middle school I’d read other Pokemon sites for news and whatnot and really wanted to make one myself 🙂
I didn’t really count on it being around almost 10 years later haha
That’s cool. And thank you! 🙂
With the recent Rhythm Hunter: Harmoknight, and some other games like Drill Dozer and Pulseman, what kind of non-pokemon game would you guys like to play out of Game Freak studios?
I’d like to try HarmoKnight, but sadly haven’t had the time 🙁
Harmoknight is pretty fun, my friend actually owns the game and we’ve both had a ton of fun with it.
I’m going to try HarmoKnight when I get a 3DS later this year. I’m generally a sucker for a good rhythm game, so something more rhythm based would be lovely.
Drill Dozer. I really want to play that game; I love Top Gear Go-Go-Go.
An adult Pokémon game that’s not called Pokémon so then it’s not a Pokémon game 😛
So a more gritty and realized game similar to Pokemon? That’d be great, plus no one would get heckled for playing it.
Yeah pretty much. Have completely different ‘Pokémon’ which fit to the style of the game, although I wouldn’t mind seeing twisted forms for cute Pokémon like Pikachu lol.
I love Pokémon, I used to be ashamed of it, but now I’m ashamed that I used to be ashamed. I’m open about my love for it now. I mean I don’t go around telling everyone, but if it came up in convo I wouldn’t shy away from it. But I would love a gritty version with deaths, murders, proper evil villains and a proper storyline that pulls on the heart strings. They could introduce many features to complement the adult theme too… I feel a new article coming on, watch this space XD
I LOVE Emolga .. but when do they typically reveal the new regions electrical mouse??? I like Pikachu but I can’t wait to see if the next one is the best =]
I’d guess it’ll be in the next CoroCoro, but that’s kind of optimistic.
Oh thank you.. I had looked through all the post as soon as I posted it and refreshed and didn’t see my question, guess it just took a lil minute to show up =]
I asked when do they reveal the regions new electric mouse pokemon but it seems to have disappeared.. =[
PJ answered below? Not sure if you can see it?
Know that you can switch between ‘Newest’ and ‘Best’ in the Disqus control panel. It’s standard on best, so your posts gets dropped down seeing as it is fairly new.
What happened to ozymandis?
I engulfed his soul.
(I think he was just busy with school and stuff, not entirely sure where he is now though. Possibly out celebrating every night ;))
Quick, hide the body!
What attack moves would you really like to see in Gen VI? Personally i think rock is somewhat lacking in Special attack moves with only Power Gem @ 70 attack being the best to offer… which also really makes me want to see a new rock type that is special attack based for Gen VI 😀
A decent poison move is the only thing I think we’re really lacking in pokemon games in my opinion. I think what we have in terms of moves is pretty balanced with the exception of dragon moves; hopefully fairy will clean that up.
When does corocoro.. if that’s how you spell it.. come out? Is it on a specific day each month?
It’s the 15th of each month. It leaks usually three days in advance, but not on Sundays.
Hey pokejungle – what is your favorite pokemon type?
I personally like Ice types. I think there needs to be more ice-typed pokemon. What about you guys?
I don’t really have a big favourite, it’s more a combination of Electric, Ice, Ground and Steel. I’d like more Ice-Type Pokémon though 🙁
Like moving I don’t have a favourite as such, it depends on the Pokémon.
I totally love the Dragon type. I can’t find a single dragon type which isn’t cool– same with the bug type!
Each type has fantastic Pokemon though.
Whats the best Pokémon movie ? I personally think Arceus and the Jewel of life is.
The original and Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. Both made me tear up a little lol.
I like Giratina and the Sky Warrior. I’m a fan of Shaymin Sky Forme though. Arceus and the Jewel of Life is pretty good though.
I have another question for you guys: what pokemon-themed characters, stages or items do you think might make the cut for Super Smash Bros Wii U/3DS?
Difficult to say without knowing too much about X&Y. Based on the last gen we could see Zoroark, however I’m not sure he’s quite as impactful as Lucario was. We could see Mewtwo return I guess.
I think that with Mewtwo’s new forme, he could definitely return! As for Black and White, my money is on Zoroark or Victini. I’d also like to see a Pokemon Trainer with a different set of starters than the Kanto ones featured in ‘Brawl’.
I may have missed it, but: Who founded PokéJungle and how do you become so successful in the Pokémon business?
That would be PJ/pokejungle/Paul. As for being successful, I don’t really want to comment on that, it’s more for PJ to answer. But I know that being unique is something that has made this site what it is.
All of the success comes from us being the coolest staff ever.

Psst, someone with full admin privileges needs to delete the accidental comment I made.
Spheal with it.
To anyone of you who reads this, what are your favorite books, movies, tv shows, and songs?
Favorite book would be Count of Monte Cristo or Brave New World. Favorite movie would probably be Forrest Gump. Don’t really have any favorite shows or songs.
Two questions:
What’s your favourite Pokemon?
and What do you look forward to seeing in X and Y? (for me, i’d like to see the return of the VS seeker)
Favorite pokemon would be Ludicolo for me. I look forward in XY to seeing a LOT more interesting type combinations. Can’t wait.
The site really sux after the remodeling, too slow, old news, bad images, poor interface, etc. What is it happened?
I’m hoping to release a new layout around the time XY are released 🙂
