Join us for the J2XY!
We’re now almost a month away from Pokémon X & Pokémon Y releasing internationally, and it’s time for us to have some fun. Over the next five or so weeks we’re going to be running a series of articles following the Journey to X & Y. There’s no need to worry, the usual Journey to X & Y episodes will still run, but we’ve decided to expand the title to an entire series of articles. After all, the journey truly begins now, right?
It’s no coincidence that five is not only the number of weeks remaining until the game release, but also the number of Generations of Pokémon games we have had up until X & Y. That’s exactly what our weekly themes will be!
Leading up to October 12 each week we will publish daily articles featuring on a generation of Pokémon, beginning with the first and ending with then fifth. After the fifth week our extensive Pokémon X & Y coverage will begin, including unique features and articles. This set of weekly generation themed articles will begin later this week.
What can you expect to see? That’s simple: a variety of content over various posts. We’ll have some discussion based articles, like Dae Asks and JungleTalk, some new opinion-based articles, competitive-centric features and even a collection of generation theme fan art from all over the net. Our usual weekly coverage of news will also resume, expect to see Corocoro, Smash and tomorrows Pokémon Direct coverage. It’s just our original content features and that will take on these weekly generation themes.
That’s not all though! It wouldn’t be PokéJungle if we didn’t ask you, the reader, what you’d like to see from us in the upcoming weeks. Is there something you’d like us to explore in a specific week? Or even a question you’d like us to pose to the community? Let us know and we’ll do our best to fulfil your wishes!
As always, a friendly reminder for our readers to Like us on Facebook, Follow us on Twitter and get tweeting about the #J2XY! And for even more Pokémon related goodness check out our forums too!
39 Days Remaining Until
Kalos is shaped like a 5-pointed star! 😉
my body is ready for 2 things. starter evos and some hint of the story
I mean come on. They dont have to show the last evo of the starters. They can just show the first evo and I will be happy
My hopes for Nintendo Direct:
– STARTER EVOS!!!
– NEW GYM LEADER(S)!!!
– NEW POKEMON!!!
– NEW MEGAS!!!
– But most importantly…
US ESHOP DEMOS! WHO’S WITH ME! But really, starter evos better happen. Or Oorotto as well, since that thing hasn’t been mentioned in months! Possibly an…
EARLY GAME LEAK??????? 😀
Despite the fact that the Early Game Leak won’t happen, or the ESHOP demo for the US, a guy can dream. I will try to be on the forums more often and catch up with X/Y news since just 39 short days until the release! :D:D:D:D
^this
Wat?
I’m agreeing with you about everything you said c:
Oh, great! 😀
this. I need a eshop demo NOW.
I don’t see why they wouldn’t…the only reason I could see why not is because they want it to be “exclusive” or something..
ahem. they are “trollfreak”. of course they wouldnt let us people who couldnt make it to pax ect have an eshop demo
NOW. TODAY. IMMEDIATELY.
ME NEED GAME DEMO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes. Yes. Yes. Sure. AWW HECK YEAH! 😀 Gives me something to satisfy me and not destroy everything in my house. I would replay that demo over and over and over again. I would never get tired of it.
…..Does that mean I have a problem? D:
OH WELL.
ummm not to bust your bubble but wouldnt you then run outta demo plays. 🙁 if the demos were like psvita demos than OH YEAA
D: NOOOOO I can’t run out of demo plays…..I would go insane! D: Unlimited demo plays for everyone 😀
….NOOOOO. I would go insane too. itd be like not having caffine for a day(not that I drink coffee). the more I think about it the mroe I will get crazy and blow my hoiuse up. NOOO. PLease gf copy vita and make the first unlimited demo
(nooo. I have gone so crazy that I have made several typos. nooo. typos are embarrisssing)
Oh, that’d suck. 🙁
yeeep. But u wanna know whatd suck more? Not getting a demo AT ALL. So all in all I dont care how many times we can play the demo as along as we get it lol
No, it doesn’t! 😀
ANNNNDDDDDD new mechanics
With an emphasis on NEW MECHANICS
YES, YES, YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(KAWAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
all i want are starter evos
Oh. YES.
thats what we all want but mean gamefreak WANT EVEN show us a hint of em. golly.
*trollfreak
yes. I forgot to add trollfreak lol.
If we don’t get them tomorrow, we’ll probably get them in this month’s corocoro, because the corocoro that comes out before the next gen game has them in it..(or atleast when the one before gen 5 came out did..)
I forgot all bout corocoro. when exactly is it getting leaked?
Probably ~Sept. 12th
heh. bout a week or less from now. great. will accept the leak with open hands
With the couple days I will have to play X and Y, I will stay up all night. Then my grades will start dropping. Thanks GameFreak! 🙂 < 🙁
This. Last school year I played games ALL DAY EVERY DAY. And still passed
By “passed”, do you mean D or higher? XD
yeeeep. actually the only d I had was in math. But that was for other reasons he heh
(yoiu can thank lady luck for me passing lol)
I personally have no problems with math; I got A’s through Algebra and am now in Geometry Honors. God damn I need to stop bragging about that!
heh heh. I am good in math too. the reason I near failed was cuz I was…was……LAZY. And kept losing all my bellringers. and kept failing the tests for some reason……
Dude got all A’s in Algebra and Geometry. English and History TERRIBLE! But I some how manage to get into 11th.
^this. i somehow Got to 12th. I dunno how. I did nothing in chemistry so i was sure I was gonna fail that. N english lol. was the main reason I failed 11th the first time. 🙁
Wow I can’t believe that I’m in high school now and I’m so close to finishing school! Well, probably 2020 will be my college grad year, but that’s only seven years!
psh college. I am so scared secretly of going to college. mainly cuz of all them essays I expect to be written 🙁
The pain of writing essays. I wouldn’t last a week in college!
I love pokemon too much!
ahshhahahahahahaha. *rofl* I wouldnt last a DAY in colllege. (but I wouldt mind the lonly tiems in college. can do whatever I want and “look” at whatever I want)
Am I the only one who can write 2000 words in one sitting easily?
Probably yes, I can’t even write 200 words unless its about pokemon -_-.
I can write a book on pokemon. I have even memorized EVERY stat of pokemon. k not really. i have just memorized which pokemon’s stats is the best
HOW. I can barely write 100. you their sir? sorry bad with genders on net. you their must be the next mark twain
Once my teacher told us to write at least 1000 words on our paper, and I has already written about 1750, so I then started to wrap it up xD
:(. Than I am gonna spam email you till u write me this essay I need turned in tommorow just kidding
sides I dunnot even know your adress and dont want to know it
Haha I still have Biology and History homework to do tonight, it’s not just you who is lazy.
I hate my english teacher so much! Gives us a reading that makes no sense.
Ohohohoho. I am WAY lazier than meets the eye.
i had to write a 4000 word essay this summer for IB. In high school. Yeah but enough of that and back to pokemon
oh no. its happening. all this lame boring stuff has made a school pokemon in the shape of a teacher form
hey guys college isnt all that bad ill be playing pokemon during my breaks as long as i have my work done which it usually is
You can simply try your hardest while still fitting in time for the things you love (Pokemon)
but I CANT Lol. aint cuz of pokemon. its cuz of my lame brain. Why right now I am post to be writing an essay for my 12th grade englis class. I just lack the skills to write.
Well like I said, it’s not your fault if you can’t comprehend every topic; most people are built that way. So cheer up and be the very best like no one ever was! 😀
Math and science rock!
^video games rock. Video game class and I would have a million plus
sigh. now my self esteem has dropped even more. oh well. I have been like this since elemntry. Its always been that I cant write a singe thing hardly but othrs in my classes can with ease
Don’t worry I’m way worse than you. I’m like a regigigas, I got that slow start ability. Essays won’t get started until the last minute.
heh heh. 🙁 I seem to be able to write with a “trigger” but even that doesnt help. heh. ah oh well. why da front door or we even talkin bout essays on a pokemon place anyway lol? OOO. What if their was an essay pokemon
Dude no! Its because school is impeding us from our true desire POKEMON!
(or mabye its obama care…)
But we must find harmony between the things we love and the things we must fulfill. That’s probably a quote from N.
screw the things thy must fufill. Love overcomes oru(or*) fufills…..Okay that was dumb and random
Aww.
atashi wa kashik……wait da heck? where did tha come from lol
I’m going to respond to my own comment here and suggest that we stop the comment chain below me. We just saw the guidelines yesterday and we must respect the rules by limiting useless comments. Just sayin’.
i probably wont get X and Y until december because i have to worry about college apps and other school work
I’m going to play it on my breaks at college!
who all is gettin x and or y and or both on the first day?
I know I am. If I dont Ima get my old slave whip out on my parents(jk)
I’m getting X
yes. power to x.
(and for those all who has this thought in their mind it is not gay to get x if your a guy. had trolls on pokemon showdown saying that)
So am I; it will be my main game until I get Y as my side game
Depends on pokemon that are game specific. currently Y… but we’ll see
Fairy = Power. X for life
Both 😀 I have to have both Chespin and Fennekin
I love the forest background in the intro in X. It’s so different, and I like it. I’m getting X. But I’ll probably get Y later.
Fairy type analysis!
Something I want to see is actually in the green header bar: links to the forums, Twitter, Facebook(), and the new Community Guidelines should all be available from the front page, I think.
You know, I have no idea why that still hasn’t happened. Just realised since the new theme there’s not even a link to the forums any more.
you know what would be just as good as starters……FOSSIL MONS. We need the fossil mons showned. (and the trio)
Maybe they might reveal new fossil Pokemon: Rock/Ice Saber Tooth and Rock/Electric Raptor.
And NOT fire/fighting Litleo evolution
litleo evo: fire fighting
sbr tooth: fire fighting
raptor pkmn: fire fighting
heliptile evo: fire fighting
clauncher evo: fire fighting
Potato Chip Pokemon: Fire/Fighting
spicy kick’n forme
Then they need a Fire/Grass form for the Jalapeño flavor 😀
it’s like you want a grass/fire type pokemon lol
fire fighting for everyone….YAAAY!
i mean come on..whats a generation without a Fire/Fighting pokemon nowadays..am i right or am i right?
right on bro
sadly you are correct.
Sabertooth YES. All of my YES
You know how we are all saying that we want to see the new Trio or the new this and that? We really don’t know how many old ideas will carry on through this generation, so at this point anything goes. Your wildest dreams could come true in the new world of Pokemon 😀
More Gen 1 sounds for attacks.
Well, there is the potential for new trends, definitely, or even breaking trends. We may not have a Lucario/Zoroark counterpart this generation for instance, there has been absolutely no promotion of anything that could be, maybe because Zoroark wasn’t quite as resounding in popularity as Lucario was *though, I do like Zoroark, but the counterpart factor to Lucario could have been seen a bit forced* but I’d think we will DEFINITELY have a Legendary Trio. Had one since Gen I, it is as core to the series as starters are I’d think.
I do think, though, we should try and dissect Pokemon dialogue more. I saw a Pokememes that remarked that someone in Pokemon BW2 actually brought up wanting to ride Pokemon instead of bikes. And they SO often say something in earlier games that come true later. So we should compile a list of interesting ‘possible things in the future’ that haven’t happened yet.
Very well said. The fun thing about this open speculation for X and Y is that any ideas we have could carry on in the future, with any luck.
So are people going to post pictures of some unique things they discover in X and Y here on pokejungle at/after October 12th? Someone is definitely gonna find a shiny starter. They should post a picture here.
Well, we’ve seen Shiny Starters, people got them during the Demos. I don’t remember where the pictures are, though they could probably easily be searched for, but Fennekin was Purple primarily, and Froakie green. There wasn’t much of a change on Chespin it appeared, kind of a blueish tint to his shell I think. *unless confirmed fake, which evidentially they were, so I’m just talking completely ignorantly*
That’s not confirmed. Most people think it’s photoshopped
I’m not sure about Chespin, but the other starters were fake.
Chespin was fake 😀
Well that’s good, if that’s all that had been done to Chespin, I was going to be extremely disappointed.
Me too, Chespin could definitely have way cooler colors than a few shades darker.
Ok then, I thought so. Sylveon’s shiny is real right?
I think Sylveon shiny is real because it was twittered live directly from the demo so they never had time to photoshop
The person who made those shinies –> http://krocf4.deviantart.com/gallery/41538338 says that Sylveon is real and that the ones that don’t say “FAKE” are real possibly.
And I was about to edit that in. I hadn’t been around a few days, so if they were confirmed fake, then I hadn’t heard.
I made a post about this earlier and they were all fake. http://krocf4.deviantart.com/gallery/41538338 <— those were some of the shinies. The person says that Sylveon is real though and the other ones that don't say "FAKE" over their picture.
Alright, thanks. Also, they have a Skiddo shiny on there, which looks mostly like they are using the colors of the shiny Gogoat we saw much earlier as a basis for it. How much you want to bet that Skiddo will completely do something entirely different for no reason, despite that being a logical shiny. Wouldn’t be the first time. Unless of course that shiny IS confirmed. They also have that skrelp, where did that one come from.
http://i.imgur.com/q806spE.jpg
They aren’t confirmed, I don’t think they are real until they are confirmed.
Wait, so Fennekin is fake? I’ve never seen Chespin’s or Froakie’s so I’m a bit confused, nor have I seen Flabebe’s.
EDIT:
WHO PROVED THE MEGA SHINIES REAL?
No one xD
The Chespin picture was taken by one of our fellow readers here, and they claimed they weren’t fake. I trusted his word, too, so I hope he didn’t actually deceive us!
Really? 😮
I think it would be interesting post a few new polls every week to go along with each generation’s coverage. They could be as basic as, “Do you think this generation was an improvement over the last?” or they could be something more deeply related to that generation in particular, like, “Which game or games from this generation were an improvement?” or, “Which game or games did you like best from this generation?” It’s an easy and fun way to get the community to interact with the site without having to leave comments.
Today is the day the all-new Pokémon Direct starts in a few hours:)
I’d like to see a article about the Safari Zone and its variations throughout the years. That, or the Game Corner throughout the years.
This sounds like quite the ambitious project, I’m surprised you would try something like this. That being said, it sounds like it should be fun! Good luck, hopefully it turns out to be five weeks of exceptional articles.
