The End of a Generation
After what seemed like an eternity of PokéJungle.net being offline, we’ve been back for a few days now and continued our theme week starting with Generation I. Sadly, we’re cutting Generation I short so we can move on to Generation II and keep within the time constraints that will allow us to finish our theme weeks with Generation VI when Pokémon X & Pokémon Y launch on October 12.
So, we announce Generation I Theme Week as after this article, and urge you to stick around for the start of the second week very soon!
Introducing… Jungle5!
Welcome to our latest column, Jungle5 (or Jungle10, from time to time!) No, we’re not forming some sort of alternative pop group, instead each article will take a look at the Top 5 according to the topic and we will then ask you to make your own list in the comments. This first article will be taking a look at the Pokémon of Generation I, and the Top 5 of each PokéJungle Staff member.

Mew, Venonat, Wartortle, Slowpoke and Psyduck, off the top of my head.
oh no wait, I prefer nidorina to wartortle
Sammydodger’s choice seems like the most popular.. I myself will stick to a close set as that of NL. Arcanine being one of my favorite designs (and I always thought of it as legendary :P) as well as Mewtwo and my first ever starter.. Blastoise.
Finally, my obsesion with Zapdos (I love the number 2 and the electric types)
1 Pidgeot
2 Jolteon
3 Seadra
4 Venomoth
5 Tentacruel
If this was a top 10: Machamp, Blastoise, Arcanine, Nidoking, and Raichu as well.
I wonder why its not Top 6 considering its Pokemon and all, I don’t think it would be too big to do either.
5. Kabutops
4. Mew
3. Aerodactyl
2. Charizard
1. Magmar
1. Blastoise
2. Alakazam
3. Kabutops
4. Lapras
5. Pidgeot
But what do I know, I’m just a Xatu.

“Feel Like A Sir”, my motto in life.
I felt like a sir when I caught a full hp shiny graveler in a luxury ball.
1- Charizard (and is also my favorite pokémon)
2- Pidgeot (Design is quite cool, so sad its not that good in battle)
3- Ninetales (I freakin’ love pokémon that are based out of legends or myths)
4- Golbat (My second favorite type is Poison, I was so excited when this guy got an evolution back in gen II).
5- Magmar and Electabuzz (I call it a tie, both of these pokémon as well as their evolutions and pre-evolutions had been in many of my teams).
just wondering, are firered and leafgreen first gen games or third gen games?
3rd gen
they are first gen remakes
1st gen remakes considered 3rd gen games
Hi! I’ve been visiting this site for about a month and I think this is a good subject to make my first comment 😉 My top 5 is:
01. Charizard
02. Staryu
03. Dragonite
04. Tauros
05. Victreebel
Welcome! And good choices!
Thanks!!

Vaporeon
Arcanine
Alakazam

My favorites when I was younger! I remember these well. I still love a few of these. Vaporeon for sure.
1. Blastoise
-He was my starter, so that’s about the only reason.
2. Vaporeon
-I remember seeing it in the anime use acid armor, and being disappointed that it didn’t actually become invisible. I even tried using it in water like in the show.
3. Articuno
-This was my favorite of the legendary birds. Probably because ice reminded me of water types, and that used to be my favorite type.
4. Haunter
-Saw Ash use it in the anime against Sabrina and I thought it was awesome. A super cool looking ghost that liked to laugh and have fun? Awesome.
5. Marowak
-I had cards of Marowak when I was a kid, and I always thought it looked really cool.

pokemon x and y demo coming to the us?
Yes. I sent a message to PokeJungle earlier about it. The demos will be available at Best Buys across the country starting the 28th.
Oh my Arceus…My life is complete! :DD I can’t go to all of those events like PAX so I can actually play the games without needing to go there. This is my dream and it would be the first time I play a Pokemon demo somewhere! :DD Thank Arceus! Sorry for my over-reaction.
It’s really tough for me to decide solidly on 5, but If I had to pick only 5 then I guess I’d go with
1)Wartortle
2)Butterfree
3)Raichu
4)Rhydon
5)Ivysaur
1) Persian
2) Ninetales
3) Arcanine
4) Arbok
5) Victreebel
Dae and ozy are closest to mine 🙂 5 was too hard, so I did 7 🙂
7) Porygon
6) Eevee
5) Snorlax
4) Nidoqueen
3) Venusaur
2) Ninetales
1) Dragonair
Arcanine and Persian are 8 and 9
D: I forgot about Oddish and Tangela! Why must these questions be soooo difficult?
A top five list? MY OPINION? Oh you guys…
In no particular order, I think…
Arcanine. This BADASS. I love its fluffy design. Super adorable, super awesome, super strong too. Since I usually ditch my starter, Growlithe took the place on my team as my fire type. Plus I always played Red…sorry Vulpix. I get you in Silver.
Articuno. I remember when I was a kid, I use to love mimicking Articuno’s digital cry. Something about this ice bird is so serene to me. Maybe it’s the tail. Or the fact it always stands with its wings spread up over its head. Don’t your wings get tired there buddy?
Pidgeotto. I have no idea why, but Pidgeotto was always my bud. I don’t mind Pidgeot but it’s not Pidgeotto. I would try to catch a Spearow instead of Pidgey to ‘spice things up’ but I never succeeded because I would fall for Pidgeotto. Plus I am a sucker for birds.
Ninetails. Something about it seems so…sinister. And I like it. Although not as boss as Arcanine, Ninetails is so pretty looking yet dangerous appearing as well. I love it when Deviantartists depict Ninetails with a devious grin. It’s the best.
Jolteon. The other badass next to Arcanine. JOLT.
well my favorite kind of pokemon are fossil pokemon..
1. kabutops
2.aerodactyl
3. farfetched
4.nidoking
scyther
In no particular order….Blastoise Snorlax Magmar Electabuzz Articuno and Mewtwo
Less than a month to go! 😀
Someone teach me how to gen 1.
1. Rapidash
2. Lapras
3. Arbok
4. Bulbasaur
5. Persian
Hmmmm I think my favorite gen1 Pokemon is Arcananie.
That’s funny, considering you’re an Ice-type. I like both Arcanine and Ninetales, but I love foxes more.
And you are a water type ;).
I dont think I ever got a Ninetails when I was playing the original games because I want even that good… I don’t even think I got a Arcananie. It just looked beautiful
Let’s see… my top 5 Gen I Pokemon?
1. Farfetch’d
2. Magmar
3. Parasect
4. Nidoqueen
5. Ivysaur

New trailer with nothing actually new but it’s cool to see the game in action.
Hopefully that’ll be localized….so we FINALLY get Oorotto’s English name…
Did Marill use Covet, if so, it changed from Normal to Fairy-type?
Also, Dedenne sounds so cute!!
No. It’s a new move called either Child’s Play or Play Around. (I found that on Serebii)
Thank you!
Marill is now water/fairy. Marill was only ever a pure water type Pokemon before. It does sound really cute. I’ll name one after my sister’s guinea pig ZigZag xD
I meant the move Covet, sorry.
Dat Draco Meteor…
I love how much those scenes they showed have improved since the first trailer. 😉
flaeron looks awesome and this is my first time that I see eevee in the game
Oorotto Is Grass Type though.. Fire Super Eff on it!.. still part dark likely
I think it was already confirmed during E3, but it’s nice to see that they’re keeping the morning, day, and night transition. I don’t think that they would get rid of it at this point though. lol
Nobody thought they’d get rid of it (at least visually) in gen 3 but they did! It’s great to see a sunset in the glorious new graphics ^-^
People, please stop saying stuff like, “Only X amount of days until release!” Each article on this site has the amount of days remaining, so it’s not like we don’t already know how long the wait will be.
Anyway, I just found out that my fall break starts the Monday after X and Y release. I will be playing it for 9 days straight. *-*
it was for me?
Lots of people have been doing it over the past few weeks. It just happened to be today that it finally broke me. It’s not you, it’s everyone who’s been doing this. (Including me- I am guilty of mentioning the countdown)
well!! they copied me >.>
5. Blastoise: A turtle with cannons. Need I say more?
4. Sandslash: Great design, love the spikes. Reminds me of a hedgehog, which is one of my favorite animals.
3. Tauros: The amount of time and effort I put into scouring the far reaches of the Safari Zone were well worth it.
2. Snorlax: One of my all-time favorite designs. Its comical signature laziness is amusing.
1. Charizard: Not only was it my first gen 1 starter and favorite pokemon as a child, but also the pokemon card with the most sentimental value. When my best friend in kindergarten told me he had to move away, he gave me his prized charizard card as a thing to remember him by. The corner where the HP would be was damaged, as if someone had peeled tape off of it. Nonetheless, 11 years later I still have that card, and I never forgot my friend.
