The Journey to X & Y Truly Begins Here!

by

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!

  1. So this is the something new huh? Sounds like a great idea
    Personally, I would love to see articles on fanmade artwork from each gen or maybe info about the staff’s favourite Pokemon from each gen and why

  3. What does PokeJungle think about the “Leaked Kalos Dex” that’s been going around?

    I’ve seen it passed around and it looks interesting like Melkor’s pre-BW leak. It originated on /vp/ though I believe, with the post explaining more about where it originated. Here’s the original thread: https://archive.foolz.us/vp/thread/13602130/

    I think it’s fake, but I’d like to see PokeJungle break it down like they do with most rumors. It didn’t leave much breathing room, and we may see it confirmed/deconfirmed tommorow.

  5. I personally feel that the direct tomorrow will showcase “transfer your shiny dialga/palkia/giratina event from B2W2 over to X and Y and you’ll unlock the elusive *inserts new pokemon name here*

    MY BODY IS READY

  6. Id like to see an article for each gen about what team each member of staff would make using Pokemon from each gen. Then we could all discuss our teams in the comments. Then in the week of XY release we can comment about how our team’s are shaping up as we play the games.

  7. Just a question to the staff, if something like a leaked pokedex or art of the starter evos shows up, will that be hidden in spoilers? I know that was done with the B/W release, so I’m curious if that will be the case again. If not, I’ll have to go into hiding when something like that happens. 😛

  9. I think they may introduce how to transfer Pokemon from BW/B2W2. That or another new mechanic on how to evolve Pokemon. I think we’ll see Pancham’s and Inkay’s evolution methods.

  11. I know that this is a bit off topic (sort of) but.. Do you think they might introduce a playable character for Smash Bros. from Pokemon?

  12. This doesnt apply to pre-launch, but I would like to see a main article going up the day before release(when Nintendo World Store shoppers can get the game IIRC, and Japan will have it almost 24 hours before anyone in the US can get it except at that one store in NYC), that will be updated with each new Pokemon found and its location. Readers can post pictures and sources in the comments, and together we can hopefully put together a rough Pokedex within the first 2 days of release! (since AFAIK there isnt a way to strip the data out of the game card)

    • What did you mean by ” exept one store in nyc”? If there is a place to get the games early in ny ill need to drive up there that weekend!

      Reply

      • Sorry I should have been clearer on that- I heard either Nintendo World or it could be a Pokemon Center either one, in New York gets them the day before or at midnight, dont remember which one. Im sure you could google it and find out more, but its just for people that pre ordered it im sure!

        Reply

        • Ohh okay. I thought you meant like a significant amount of time earlier. My local gamestop does the midnight release but i always end getting the new games 3-7 days before release anyways here in MD

          Reply

          • Nah, just a day. Is gamestop doing midnight release for these as well? I thought they couldnt do that with Nintendo titles for some reason? What store can you get the game that far in advance??? 0_o

          • Idk i never heard that before but i know my local gamestop is for x and y. Its a little import store here in MD i use to date the owners daughter i only got b/w a few days early but d/p i ended up getting the Japanese. Version 5 days before it released in japan. Lol

  13. Could you guys do an article on favorite everythings? Ex: Fav Pokémon, Gym Leader, Elite Four Member, Rival, Champion, Evil Team, ect.

  14. OMG!!!! I LOVE THIS IDEAAAA!!! I WANT TO CRY :’D IT’LL BE REALLY AWESOME PJ!! I want to remember all the pokemon games 😀 thanks a lot for the gift

  18. I have a question and sorry it’s out of topic but I live in Dominican Republic and the time right now here is 7:16 pm! I want to know when the news about pokemon x and y start tomorrow?

  20. I’m fine and cool with anything that will keep me from destroying everything for having to wait so long, yet so short of a time as October 12th. But, if I think about it, I would like something like a region breakdown or something about the stories of the games. That can be kinda cool. But whatever’s fine 😀

  25. I would like a comparison of the past 6 generations and how much information we had at this point. It might be difficult to find reliable info for the first/second generations but surely the most recent ones can provide us some insight.
