It’s already been announced for a while, but I’ll use this opportunity to give you a friendly reminder that a brand new Nintendo Direct is set to air tomorrow. Nintendo have said they will ‘provide updates on upcoming 3DS and Wii U games launching this year’. This means you don’t have to go expecting new Smash Bros details or Mario Kart, but you never know with Nintendo. There is a possibility that they will give us a new English XY trailer, hopefully with new footage and a Pokémon reveal or two (Orot please?).
As of now, we will not cover it live, but rather provide a write-up an hour after the Nintendo Direct has aired. If any Pokémon news breaks however, we will bring you the news as fast as we can. International times are the following (with countries listed rather than confusing time zones):
7 am Pacific, 10 am Eastern, 3 pm United Kingdom, 4 pm Mainland Europe, 11 pm Japan time.
Note: 01/10 uses the correct formatting for dates and is as such October 1st and not January 10th.
In addition, continuing the debate about our comment policy after the site’s activity has boomed, some people think we were too strict enforcing our new Community Guidelines. I shall now provide some further clarification on them and introduce some slight change to make it easier for everyone.
First of all, you most likely know the comment activity has grown a lot. Where we barely got 100 comments on uninteresting two years ago, such things get 1500+ comments nowadays. This poses a few problems. Where those 100 comments were usually meaningful additions, a huge part of those 1500 were borderline spammy. Also, whenever people started talking off-topic, the thread usually derailed into everything but the topic they should discuss. It’s sad to see a Dae asks becoming a ask-everyone-everything, because that was never the purpose of Dae asks.
Naturally, we had to enforce some kind of guidelines. I’m normally against such things, because I don’t believe in an overly abusive police state. Yet, you guys showed me you could not behave without a guiding moderator. I had to unfortunately resort to threatening people with bans so they could calm down. Some people complained it was weird that people could get banned for talking off-topic, and I have to agree it is something I would rather not do. However, you should also keep in mind that the only people I’ve banned were annoying and verbally offensive trolls. I also believe we should be a bit more forgiving in the future, but at the same time enforce some slightly stricter regulation against pure spam. Therefore I have proposed the following:
Is the article a news article? Go ahead, just comment whatever you want. However, refrain from posting spam (you should at least put 5 seconds of effort into your comment). This includes short comments like ‘XD’, image captions (memes) that have nothing to do with Pokémon and things that are better said in general chat (I’m going to bed now). Ignore the trolls, and if something goes on a spam rampage, hit me up here so I can sort it out. Also, if you are a leaker, please provide some proof, and know it’s not hard for me to know what your real account is.
Is the article an opinion piece, or does it ask for relevant opinions? Please try to stay on-topic. Off-topic posts will get deleted if there’s a chance the thread could derail. However, no bans will be issued unless you persevere in posting irrelevant comments. Did some important news leak, like Hoenn remakes or X2 & Y2 or a totally new Pokémon, that’s totally fine to put it in there. If you really want to discuss something else, go to our forums, the latest news article at hand or just wait for a new one to arrive (there will be always some sort of news, and I’m sure you won’t die if you don’t know immediately which starters everyone is going to pick).
If you still have some remarks or something else you want to discuss, just hit me up in the comments. My job is mostly to talk with you guys, and listening to our readers is also a vital part of the site. Remember, we are Pokejungle.net, which means we really try to be a network or community where everyone is free to give their opinion.

Are we really likely to get any major xy news now seeing as the launch is so close.
Would be cool if we did, I’m just not sure we will.
I think just because launch is so close we are more likely to get major news.
I suppose, It just feels to me like GF might keep the rest of their cards close to their chest so that there are still lots of surprises.
I’m still hopeful that we find out the final starter evos first though. XD
I’m confused, so we are probably going to get major news, but don’t get your hopes up, or?
Don’t get your hopes up for other Nintendo franchises, like Smash Bros, Bayonetta and X.
I wasn’t, but what I am asking is: is it worth it to wake up at 7:00 to watch it or not?
I’d say yes. ND are usually great fun (except August, yes I’m looking at you August)
Lol ok, settng my alarm 🙂
I think we’ve probably had the last of the major news. If we’re lucky we might get a new trailer and at most the final start evolutions, but I wouldn’t hold your breath.
No es fake
ok, all joking aside, I feel like we will get some new stuff tomorrow, not Pokemon-Wise, but gameplay wise. Maybe it can reveal to us if we get any other starters and if they will MegaEvolve? Oh well, we’ll wait and see.
The legendary Pokemon, Bowser. So gonna catch it
Mega Venustoise!
they already revealed the Kalos starters, along with all Kalos pokemon, will not mega evolve
I will 100% catch Bowser! He is a Fire/Dragon type right? Anyways, no Kalos Pokemon will Mega Evolve! Only Generation 1 to 5 can Mega Evolve!
Sorry. I worded it wrong, what I meant was starters from other regions, like how they revealed we could get the Kano starters, then revealed the mega evolutions of them.
No way is Bowser Fire/Dragon. Fairy type duh.
It has been confirmed that none of the pokemon introduced in this generation will have Mega Evolutions.
I really wanted Fennekin (yes I’m being biased) to get a mega-evolution. :C
Eh, I guess it wouldn’t be fair for new Pokemon to get Mega Evolutions and then GF leaving some of the older Pokemon in their dust.
If they make a Pokemon Z some kalos pokemon will probably have mega evo’s including Xerneas and Yveltal, like black kyurem and white kyurem
It makes sense though, they want us to warm up and get used to the new 6th gen pokes before they just go and give us a mega evo without even knowing what their capable of.
In Black/White, only Gens 1-4 got dreamworld abilities while Gen 5 had to wait until B2W2
I expect this direct to be more about games that we already know about like Wii Fit U, Wii Sports Club, Windwaker physical copy, donkey kong country, Mario 3D Land, maybe pokemon x and y.
I highly doubt we get new on stuff like smash bros. or mario kart or stuff releasing in 2014.
(I still want surprises though….)
Maybe few screenshots of Pokemon Trainer following an X and Y trailer like they did with Luigi?
I want, but doubt
Chances are there will be at least 1 surprise, because come on … it’s Nintendo we’re talking about.
It’s quite sad how this still has to be said, oh well, people’ll learn one day…..or not
Hopefully they will reveal some X & Y news that’s of some importance
Can’t wait for info on SSBB tho, great game (although I wish the battles were more like Kid Icarus, such great graphics)
are you referring to 3DS smash bros? I never played icarus, but do you think it has better graphics than smash bros 3ds?
x and y graphics are top notch
Kid Icarus graphics are amazing, one of the best 3DS games for graphics IMO
One of the reasons I play online more, hopefully they’ll make a sequel in the future
doubt it maybe nintendo afterall
maybe they will show silohettues (excuse my spelling) of the starters evos or another pokemon
I hope so. I miss silhouettes…they reveal a bit without spoiling anything. Plus, making and looking at all of the fan art for them is just completely time consuming and fun!
Yes, so we can finally put a rest to starter speculation and rumors….
Until everyone and their mother starts filling in the silhouettes and we get confused all over again. Remember Pokebeach’s Unova silhouettes?

yeah but at least we could prove whether greninja is fake or not
wouldn’t it be awesome if they showed a trailer with a fast collage of silhouetted Pokemon just to tease everyone. I would love for Nintendo to do that.
That’d actually be pretty great.
Just please be something not fake!
There is no way this can have the tag “rumor” or “fake” attached to it!
What?
I meant that nintendo directs can’t be fake
who thought that
Oh, yeah
dae when did you join pokejungle offtopic i know but where else can i aske unless you have pokejungle origins
2010
oh ok
our fate coincides
i dont get wat regi is saying
wat do you meam not fake
Okay, I’m glad it’s clearer now about the comments. Hopefully they will be easier to deal with!
Nintendo Direct…hm….
I’m hoping for something, anything really! It will be exciting to know something else before release.
Luckily, I’ll be in school, so I’ll be up to hear about it!
I cannot wait for this direct as the last one made me cringe in joy!
Pokemon is great, but what I really, really, really want to hear about is Monster Hunter 4 localisation PLEEEAAASE!!!
I would be so happy… 🙂
I really wouldn’t mind if they dropped in some quick screenshots from Smash Bros revealing a veteran like they did with Luigi back in July (or was it August), but I don’t expect a new character. If the Direct is focusing on games that are coming out this holiday season, there’s not much that could excite me (besides X/Y stuff) because I’ve already got the games I want planned out and don’t expect surprises.
I do want Nintendo to reveal a Pokemon character for Smash Bros around 10/12 though to match Olimar and Toon Link’s reveals. If it is a veteran, then I can see it maybe getting the Luigi treatment and getting a few pictures in the Direct. If it’s a new one thoguh, I think they’ll save it for 10/11 (they don’t update on Saturdays) and give the new character a trailer like the other newcomers.
I’m betting on 10/11 after the toon link reveal on release date.
Also, our 10/11 is Japan’s 10/12, so it is the actual day they get X and Y. Please, something either new or Pokemon Trainer.
Everyone is clamoring for ridley and mewtwo for smash…xD
I want both (I’m not a Metroid fan, but I can see Ridley working), but seriously, my most wanted character is Pokemon Trainer. He’s so underrated, but he’s a blast to play as! I wouldn’t mind them giving him different Pokemon, but I would much rather have Squirtle/Ivysaur/Charizard, especially since their appearance in XY makes them much more relevant.
I want Pokemon trainer to stay, he was so unique
I’d personally like to see a Mechanic where you can change skins and have like a Pokemon Trainer Johto, Pokemon Trainer Hoenn etc.
And I want the Hoenn guy to have Treecko, Combusken and Swampert. That would pretty much MAKE smash bros for me. Getting it anyway because I loved Brawl (Melee was just before my time) but yeah.
I have a feeling they are going to feature a new female. Either Roselia or Palutena. God I hope Palutena is on there!
http://images1.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Final-Smash-Trophy-super-smash-bros-brawl-1046606_400_315.jpg
I’m a guy but I want more female characters…I would really like Palutena
Palutena is my 2nd most wanted newcomer (right after FE’s Robin). I don’t see a reason for her to be revealed soon though (but she’d be awesome), especially with Pokemon, DK, and Sonic all releasing new games around the same time. I do think that she’ll be one of the first newcomers revealed though.
I want a FE character that has a lance or axe or tome. Seriously why does every FE character have a sword!
why roselia? she doesn’t seem very prominent
I think he meant Rosalina from the Mario Galaxy Series. She’d be a great addition, but I think her time has passed and we’ll already get a heavy female magic user out of Palutena.
LMAO yeah, typo!
“Unlike some of our competitors who mostly use their site to boost their own ego”
Ouch, Dae. Throw that shade, gurl.
I don’t think we’ll get more than a new trailer (if we’re lucky) and a reminder that X & Y are coming out on the 12th. That being said, it is Nintendo so I expect everything and nothing.
Maybe we’ll get the launch trailer for the games. That would be call. Maybe no new Pokemon, but some new scenes instead. Like of the Carnac Stones and the desert area.
“OOOH the shade, the shade of it awwll.” Latrice Royale
I LOVE RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE!!
Get those nuts away from my face!!!
Sashay away.
*snap* *snap* *snap*
A “Z-Snap” has been heard. A sound usually heard after the throwing of the aforementioned “shade”.
Im hoping for nothing so if they do reveal something my expectations will be broken!
Im hoping for new pokemon reveals and Monhun 4/DQ7 Localization…..oh and Bravely Default or any new rpg
Bravely Default, now that’s a game that needs to come over to the West soon. It looks fantastic, but I guess that I’m glad that we’re not getting it yet- it gives me more time to focus on X and Y!
I hope they finally reveal orotto
I bet they’ll show a trailer with him in without revealing him. Again.
Again… I hope Orotto is the evolution of Sudowoodo. ;D
Orotto was shown to be weak to Fire moves, so I don’t find it particularly likely, unless they did away with its Rock typing altogether.
I don’t think a rock type would evolve into a Grass/Ghost type. Besides, sudowoodo isn’t a tree, its an imitation of one.
Knowing trollfreak….probably not
At this point, I bet they won’t reveal him til Corocoro. Meaning when the games are out.
I bet that if they are to do their weekly “reveal” this week then it should be him because everyone basically knows about him. The “reveal” this week should be in the Direct tomorrow. Perfect time to do it!
We’ve gotten evolutions during the weekly reveals so far, enough times for me to consider that a trend, so I’d see an evolution for helioptile, or even spritzee and swirlx getting their evos revealed first.
Logically speaking, I wouldn’t be surprised if it is Helioptile’s evolution or the proposed middle evolution of Fletchling and Talonflame.
I’m more interested in Helioptile, as the only thing to see with the Fletchling line is to see how said middle stage is elementally, if it’s a fire type yet or not. Helioptile, it’s to see if this Normal subtype trend continues, because if it does, that almost certainly means we are getting an influx of Normal type combinations to help combat Ghosts, who got a buff.
Good point. Considering that Pyroar kept its Normal type after evolving from Litleo, I wouldn’t be surprised if Helioptile’s evolution ends up being Electric/Normal as well. Yet again you never know. I’m hoping it’s Electric/Dark personally.
I have a random feeling Helioptile could be Eletric/Fire because Helioptile uses the sun to generate energy.
i really feel like it’s english name will be horroot (horror + root) mostly because it’s close to it’s jap name and they’ve been close lately. (Yancham and Pancham)
I quite like that!
I can’t wait! Hopefully, the show some X & Y info! Maybe, a new trailer or gameplay! Just to get us pumped before Oct. 12! ;D
In really want a new trailer as much as anyone else here, but wouldn’t they have done a pokemon direct instead if x and y news was to be showcased? I remember almost a month ago a Nintendo direct aired a few days before the kanto mega evolution direct and no new info was shown.
I bet they’ll start with a Pokemon segment for X and Y, then Zelda segmen, then Japanese Ports segment, followed by Mario segment and Donkey Kong segment and at least 1 surprise at the end!
I hope that means all those “See you in the morning” and “Make me an avatar” will stop. It’s always frustrating when I’m trying to find some interesting comment when all I see is the same people over and over commenting nonsense.
I guess after the Nintendo Direct tomorrow the next thing to look forward to are the reviews for X and Y. Will there be an article with all the reviews in one place later this week or early next week?
It they do reveal anything new about Pokemon X and Y in the Direct, I just hope it’s new footage rather than new Pokemon, because I want to see more of the region itself and get an idea of just how vast the Kalos region really is.
Yea I wouldn’t mind seeing more of Mountain Kalos, because we’ve got some idea of what Coastal and Central Kalos looks like.
I would think that you’d get those fossils in the mountains, if not underground. Imagine, a first-ever underground city of sorts. Maybe not a city, but maybe an underground route, a hidden one unmarked in Kalos.
Maybe there’s a town or city hidden in the mountain itself. That would be cool. Maybe a Rock Gym could be in that town/city as well. This would make Mountain Kalos quite a big portion of Kalos in general.
Grant is a rock climber
The part about some other site owners made me laugh, so true. I was hoping we might see some new SSB footage, but you pointed out how its focus is on games coming out this year, so nevermind. I do believe we’ll get some sort of new trailer for X & Y, though I’m not holding my breath for it to be anything major. However, perhaps we’ll find out the exact date that Pokémon Bank will be released in America. That won’t be terribly exciting, but it would be nice to know.
I think there will be Pokemon news somewhere in the Direct, even if they mention it in passing. There could be Pokemon related news related to SSB maybe. Who knows?
Pokejungle will always be special in Pokemon fandom, different from others, down to earth. This deviantart pretty sums everything:

11 Days 2 Hours 50 Minutes and 46 Seconds till X and Y in UK!
I’m happy because by then I’ll be out of school
This article makes me feel guilty…
where is it being aired youtube or a certain website?
There going to show the Direct on Nintendo.com (or there Direct Page). Then they will upload it on Youtube for others who missed it! That’s how it works! ;D
Well guys this is it we are about to enter into the month where Pokemon X and Pokemon Y are waiting for us can i get a Booyeah Pokemon X and Pokemon Y!
