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.

I have some predictions:
– Pokemon X and Y will introduce:
1) 120 – 160 new Pokemon
2) 50 – 80 new Mega Evolutions
3) 30-40 new Fairy-types (amongst the 120-160)
That’s a lot of fairies
True. Maybe I gotta take it a bit lower.
haha, it’s 25%!!
Maybe like…15%! (20-25) That would be a lot, but I do agree that fairy type should be featured this generation.
There were like…less than five for dark and steel types in gen two but maybe they’ll decide to do more fairies to balance the board? Back then there weren’t a lot of Pokemon as there are now, so less reason to balance.
Is anybody on? Feeling bored
I wish they reviled a new Pokemon and trailer possibly the last till the games.
Nintendo directs are really short. Going by the E3 one, Pokemon got the limelight for about three minutes. They won’t show much but a new trailer and gameplay footage would be nice.
I found this on Pokebeach Forums. Apparently the original source is /vp/ in 4chan. It looks legit to me, but I’m no expert.

this looks crazy!
Its adorubu X3 Too bad its mostly likely a fake. If it wasn’t It said Either Psychic, Fairy, or Steel or combination of two of the three
It looks ridiculous, but in a good way.
Chimecho Mega???
it’s fake. He postd a picture of moves set and the “a” is rounded and not pointed
Shame. Do you have a link to the moveset?
Ok, this looks kind of legit to me:
The person posted the image on the left first, then the one on the right after. This was found on /vp/ so it may or may not be real. I am calling it as real until final confirmation 😛 Link to thread: http://boards.4chan.org/vp/res/14096462
looks more legit than other pictures, and i like it… a lot(please be real)
Chimecho has some competition
maybe it’s an evolution for chimecho
I usually don’t like object pokemon, but with this, I certainly don’t have any OBJECTions.
I can’t quite place what it is, but something about it is screaming fake to me.
The shading looks very off.
It’s fake, the artist admitted it.
Well guys the countdown for Pokemon X and Pokemon Y Begins:) so how much time left until the big Pokemon day?
depends on you region, but around 11/12 days
MERRRRRRYYYYYYY OCTOBER EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT WAS ONCE NINE MONTHS IS NOW ELEVEN DAYS LEFT!!!!!!
Cant belive it’s already October
Wait, does the final corocoro leak after the games are released? Or if there is another leak at all?
The next Corocoro (the November 2013 issue) comes out on the 15th. Leaks usually happen 3-4 days before, so it will most likely leak either the day before X & Y are released, or on release day itself.
OK thanks 🙂
11 days until the big party in New Yorks’s Nintendo Super Center!!!
AND IM OFF
Can we put memes that have something to do about pokemon?
we can calling alot of things fake that can actually be real….
But with the embargo in place it’s highly unlikely we’ll get leaks before the 4th. If we get any after that, they won’t be much, so the best thing to do is call everything fake until it’s officially revealed.
Did it start?? I don’t even know!!!!
7 am Pacific, 10 am Eastern, 3 pm United Kingdom, 4 pm Mainland Europe, 11 pm Japan time
While waiting for Nintendo direct, check out what I found, these cards with alternate art of the original 151. Which are… interesting, to say the least. And kind of more creepy in a few cases, specifically the ones that are clearly trying to EAT each other. Ones of note for me are Charmander, whose eyes are disturbingly narrow, and also proves that the original Charmander DID have spikes on his back, the Pikachu art actually falls in line with the original sprite too, so for the most part, these are probably what the sprites were made from, as Pikachu has a white belly, the Diglett is kind of cool because it’s being shown as it’s digging into the ground, instead of just going up and down like a whack-a-mole, and lastly, cubone. That is the best look under that skull I think we’ve ever had.

I really love the spike back Charmander. why did they have to get rid of it D: wouldve been a nice touch for charmeleon and charizard.
Psyduck seems to be getting beaten up in quite a few
Yeah, he does seem to have the short end of the stick. The Krabby family apparently hate ditto as well.
what about Golem/Electrode/Goffing explosion?
Charmender has no spikes, It’s its right hand. Just perspective.
.. Uh, no it’s not. For one thing, one easy way to disprove that is just go look at the Dratini image. Where both arms are clearly visible, and the spike is too. Charmander had spikes.
Dratini looks a lot more angry/evil
Nidorina swallowing Voltorb is quite scary. What if it explodes in her stomach? Guts everywhere fatality style.
Also nidoqueen with additional spikes all over her body, Nidoking with a spiral spring on his horn, and Primeape with 4 arms is quite scary. I’m glad most of these pokes underwent changes.
If these were reprinted, they would ban caterpie right away
Oh boy i cant wait my way to pass the time along is watch longplays of others.
My ? is:What do you do to pass the time along?
Why isn’t Wartortle a Water/Fairy or Water/Flying lol. I mean what the hell are those little wings for?
They’re not wings, they’re Wartortle’s ears. Although Water/Fairy does sound cool.
Ahh… cause dragonair has them too.
True, but Dragonair’s ears look more like wings than Wartortle’s. They remind me of that greek god (I think his name was Pan?) who had shoes with wings on them. Compare Wartortle to Raichu, they both have very curly ears, but they’re definitely ears.
So that this isn’t completely off-topic, do you think we’ll see Orotto in an hour’s time?
I have a feeling we will get a new launch trailer for X and Y and it will show Orotto sneakily, but I don’t think they are going to reveal its english name/debut haha
will coro-coro leak before oct 12? will it contain leaks?
yes it will most likely leak on the 9th like they always do, and this time it says its going to contain up to 20 pages of information on Mega Evolution
The reason it was leaked on the 9th before was because of a holiday or festivity in the country, doesn’t normally
It’s released on the 15th, leaks are usually 2-3 days before, likely it’ll leak when the game comes out so technically they wont be leaks
we should get a post on Mega Evo’s and what Mega’s could possibly do for a bunch of Pokes. I just realized that Mega Blaziken can legally use Baton Pass with its ability now. Trade a Gen 3 torchic all the way up with baton pass, make it hold the stone, and waa-laa! Ahh mega evo’s going to be so much fun.
Someone uses thunder wave on your absol, you mega evolve and magic bounce it back and set up a free swords dance, dude, absol/blaziken are going to WRECK
What time is the nintendo direct coming on, and is there a link to it? It is 904 am where i live
Starts in 53 minutes, we’ll be doing a post right here where you can watch it 🙂
aweeeeesssooome!!
