Announcing PJN Magazine (UPD)

by

UPD: Added a survey so I can obtain some first impressions. Make sure to fill it out!

I’m proud to announce that Pokéjungle.net will get its own self-published professional magazine! It’s an idea I came up with a month or two ago and I wanted to make sure it’d be possible for us to do it. I also wanted to wait until after the launch for XY, as it will involve lots of input from the community! Let’s start with the general information first.

General information

PJN Magazine (PJNM) will be a professional looking magazine released two or three times a year available in both digital and printed editions. Page count will be big enough for substantial articles but will also be kept reasonable to keep the price down. Price is as of yet undecided, but will be kept to a minimum seeing as the magazine is intended to be non-profit. The content consists of articles which normally wouldn’t be placed on the site, with a big focus on community and behind-the-scenes stuff.

I’ll now explain it in more detail, but keep in mind these are all subject to change seeing as we’ll use a lot of community input to give the magazine shape.

Release timing

We chose a scarce release for a number of reasons. First, it gives us enough time to write the magazine so we wouldn’t feel a deadline rush, so we can give it all the care it deserves. Second, it would become expensive to buy all printed editions rather quickly, and we’re not here to suck all of your (or your parents) money out of your pockets. And as a last bit, we want to give it a special feel by it being a sort-of limited release, making it feel more likely a luxury product for our truest fans rather than a business.

Price

We don’t intend this to be a profit-making product. Therefore, we want to keep the price down as much as possible. There are however some costs involved in putting together the content and especially in assembling the printed edition. Self publishing is relatively expensive, and we also must keep international shipping in mind. However, we still aim it to be nearly the same price as a normal magazine you buy in shops. If there will be a mark-up, we will try to get your input on it, and rest assured it will be very small (<$2). I can promise the first digital edition will be distributed free of charge to give you a feeling of the quality.

Printed Edition

PJNM will be printed on the same stuff your usual gaming magazine is printed on, in full color. We think we found a way of doing this at reasonable price. We will update with more specifics closer to printing release.

Content

PJNM won’t feature the normal news you can usually read on the site. Instead, if it features news, it will be in the form of thought out opinion articles. The magazine is intended to be read anywhere, anytime, something you can pull up years later and still enjoy reading. We’ll have articles on lots of older and obscure games from the Pokémon franchise. We also want to take this opportunity to get you to know the staff a bit more. The big outlook is mostly planned out already, but I’ll keep most of it under the wraps, and it will get trickled out in further announcements regarding the magazine.

FAQ

Who is part of the team?

PJNM will be led by Daedardus (Editor-in-chief), with moving second in charge and responsible for design. The rest of the PJN staff will be responsible for providing content, and of course Pokéjungle who gave his approval for the project.

Can I contribute?

If you mean writing your own article, we’re not sure on that yet. It mostly has to do with silly copyright laws and we don’t want to get hit by copyright trolls trying to pull down the magazine. This also means we’re not sure if we can feature fan-art. We’ll communicate more on that later. But rest assured, you can help along with the general shape of the magazine and we will greatly appreciate your input.

When can we expect the first issue?

Somewhere around January/February 2014.

Will you feature ads? Can I promote my business in the magazine?

You probably can’t. We don’t want to make a profit and while it’s true ads could keep the price down, we still want to deliver the best experience to the readers. The magazine is totally intended as fanservice from my part, and I believe fanservice shouldn’t involve $$$. However, I may have a cool idea in my head, stay tuned for more info :).

Will the magazine contain a picture of the rare and elusive Daedardus?

Yes. No. Probably. Maybe. I don’t know.

This idea sucks. Pokéjungle is the worst fan site there is and I hate all the staff.

That’s fine. You can read our competitor’s magazines in the meantime.

More info pls

Soon. Like next week soon.

UPD: You can fill in a (short) survey here. I’ll use this data in an upcoming post, which may take a week however. Stay tuned! 😉

  4. It sounds good, i can’t wait to see output.

    Unexpected, to be honest, I was expecting something more reader-included when you say community-based.

    • If you throw it away in game, then bury your 3DS (Groudon),then throw it in your bathtub (Kyogre),then throw it in the air (Rayquaza), then after that set your 3DS on fire (Drought), leave it out in the rain (Drizzle), and don’t forget to throw it in the air and let it hit the ground (Air Lock) the train in lumioise will take you to Hoenn

  9. Three thoughts:
    1) This is AMAZING
    2) Why would anyone want to see Dae’s ugly face on a magazine?? <3
    3) "That’s fine. You can read our competitor’s magazines in the meantime." …. L.M.F.A.O.

  10. I totally believe your bio Dae…

    Other than that, sounds like an awesome idea, looking forward to more details and the eventual release

  14. I hope when you guys have the first issue ready, you put on the site: “FEBRUARY PJNM HAS BEGUN LEAKING!!” with little blurry pictures of the pages and details just like CoroCoro. That would be amusing.

    Reply

  15. Wow! Congrats to PJN and staff on taking this on. Been following for a while and just joined the group. Looking forward to the 1st issue.

    Reply

  16. This is such a creative and seriously ambitious idea! I really hope it works as it could be AMAZING!
    An idea for getting the community involved could be if you had a writing contest for each issue where PokeJunglers could write an opinion piece and submit it and the best piece each issue could be printed. Each issue could potentially give a theme for what is needed for the next issue and people could write based around that.

    • We’re already planning to do such a thing. 🙂
      The ‘winner’ could receive a free printed copy in exchange for written publication permission for example

  98. Is anyone else having problems when they try to battle someone on PSS whether it’s a friend or passerby? I always get a “There was a problem. The battle will be canceled” whenever I challenge someone.

  101. What I want for pokemon Z ( warning, extremely unlikely)
    A new part of kalos has been discovered! It is the area east of kalos, where it is more of an industrial place, with many coal mines, and even a town devoted to one. But when team flare catches wind of it, they band together again, to search for rare minerals in the coal mines. At first it seems like a little excavation, but turns into much more. They want to wipe out the whole population of east AND west kalos, except now not even team flare members will be safe. The ultimate weapon Lysander created runs on the minerals he collected in east kalos, and will basically wipe kalos off the map. No one will survive, except Lysander and his new partner Zachary, (who has been secretly leading this whole time) created a special way of protection for just Themselves. But when Zachay ditches lysander, and so not even lysander can escape, everyone is faced with doom. That’s when Zygarde, whom you hear many tales about and even see at one point, jumps out of the ground and demolishes the machine. He then challenges you to a battle, where you MUST catch him. Zachary then sends out his team to attack lysander, but suddenly your zygarde rescues lysander and banishes zachary from the kalos region forever. Then you beat the E4 and such. 🙂 (I’m sorry if this is terrible)

  103. In preparation for Pokemon Bank on December 27th, I’ve spent an entire 24 hours away from X/Y to complete Pokemon Emerald (Genuinely did not rush through this playthrough). I have all 3 Hoenn starters on my Emerald in which I’ll be sending to Platinum, then to Soul Silver and finally to Black 2 so they’ll be ready to transfer to X/Y on the 27th.

    To commemorate this, I’ve thought up a little event with a catch, or battle giveaway as such. I’ll be breeding them like crazy and If you want one of these Hoenn starters you must win against me in a battle. There will be a few rules of course to make winning a bit easier.

    1. The type of match will be a single battle with each person using only 3 Pokemon.
    2. Mega Evolution’s are banned.
    3. Items are also banned.
    4. Legendary Pokemon are excluded from being used.

    There’s no time limit to this, but it’ll be over once all the starters have been handed out. I’m tempted to have 3-5 of each starter available as prizes as I don’t really know the outcome of who will win. If you do end up losing your free to challenge me again until you’re able to win. I’ll come up with a chart or something to show who goes first later down the line, but for now, I’ll leave it.

    Bear in mind I don’t exactly know when I’ll have everything ready for this but I’ll be sure to keep you updated about it. For now though, please add my FC and let me know yours in the comments so at least some things are ready beforehand.

    Name: Ashley (I’m a boy xD)

    Well with that out the way, what do you think. Should I maybe do this again if it goes well?

  104. Drasna is smart as f**k! I used my Protean Greninja against her Altaria and used Ice Beam, turning me into Ice before I attack, and OHKO it. She sends out Noivern and uses Flamethrower and nearly kills my Greninja! O.O

  154. I recently caught a Goomy and I was so happy…..until I read the Pokedex entry – It is the WEAKEST dragon pokemon…….- I don’t know if I should keep it on my team. Can anyone help me here. My main team is:
    Delphox
    Talonflame
    Doublade
    Floette
    Lapras
    Aurorus
    I was going to replace Talonflame with Goomy since I have 2 fire types but I’m not sure. HELP!!!

    Reply

    • Goomy evolves into goodra, and goodra is the BEST dragon type pokrmon i’ve ever seen. goomy – lv 40 – sligoo – lvl 50 (in the rain) Goodra

      Reply

    • Goodra has awesome Sp.Defence and above average Sp.Attack
      Great mixed movepool, BoltBeam, F.Blast etc, available before 6th Gym (although you already know) so you have time to raise as opposed to Noibat which is either before 8th gym or after, making it slightly harder to train to the same level as your team, and it’s quite rare.
      Being a pseudo, incredibly slow to train tho

      Reply

    • Goodra is amazing. Has a lot of variety. I would try Hydration+Rain Dance+Outrage. Hydration will cure the confusion and he can keep sweeping. Also he can learn Thunder! So many good choices.

    • Like Pass powers in B/W
      Basically, they can assist you or your friends/passerbys with things such as Exp Gain, Discount in shops, hp restore, Crit chance increase etc for a limited time
      They come in 3 levels (getting more powerful and longer) but use more ‘energy to use’ (I think)

    • If you are using it with all attacking moves, then you are using it the wrong way. It’s meant to be defensive and use supporting moves. There are plenty of pokemon that have 4x weaknesses…they are not terrible.

        • it learns stealth rock, trick room, and is not a psychic type…I’m definitely using one. Yeah but compare with dusknoir’s defenses:

          Carbink: 50/150/150
          Dusknoir: 45/135/135

          it’s better

          Reply

          • That Steel weakness is gonna be more common in OU with the Fairy onslaught coming, so Carbink is definitely suitable for RU or maybe even UU. I could see it with Recover, and that would probably make it BL at best.

  203. So my competitive team is:
    Aggron
    Gardevoir

    Reply

  218. So I’ve tested something, if you are breeding any pokemon with ditto, you are more likely to find hatched pokemon to be of the same ability as the pokemon you bred ditto with. Example ditto + ralts (synchronize): you will find very few ralts with trace ability that are hatched.

    Some of you may already know this but I’m just going to mention it, for those that don’t.

  231. Does anyone else feel that the legendary battle music fits xerneas more than Yveltal? I mean, if you encountered a majestic, colorful, giant, eternal life deer, wouldn’t that music make more sense in that situation? Just sayin’, but I imagine Yveltal with more of a darker, scary theme, because both the pokemon AND the battle setting are dark. But xerneas has more of an exciting, whimsical appearance, so I feel it better matches it. Either way it is my favorite battle theme ever!!

  234. I’m on the Smogon forums currently, and I’ve noticed that they are having a tough time deciding to ban Megas, those pokes, or just the stones. The new balances, and the nerf to Stealth Rocks, and other moves of the same nature. Also with the nerf to Weather abilities, will Smogon not be able to handle Gen. VI?

  236. Who should be a part of SSB3DS/WIIU? Lucario + Mega? Mewtwo making a badass return with his Megas being his Final smashes? Or even Blaziken with him getting faster when in his Mega as a Final Smash?

  237. So I’m up trying to catch Yveltal, just listening to the amazing music!

    But lemme get this straight, Lysandre is pissed off at stupid people, so he wants to kill everybody. Cool.

  243. Couple questions on this, and my 2 cents.

    First, I think this is a really cool idea!

    I have a question…keep in mind I know nothing about this, but…how does it cost $$$ to have an online magazine. Seems like a ~50 page PDF should be a small fraction of site’s expenses.

    Also, about ads, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I’d prefer ads to a cost. When people online complain about ads, its those annoying popups and stuff; if there’s an ad in a magazine that I don’t wanna pay attention to, I just don’t look at it–not that annoying. Also, these things are often posted all over the internet–I’m not sure how much luck you’d have in making sure only people who pay for it can see it. Even if there is a way to do that with a pdf, can’t one take a bunch of screenshots and send it to all his friends?

    Also, about copyright issues, aren’t there anti-plagiarism softwares and such? Although granted they may be expensive for an individual to buy since the people buying them are usually schools or universities.

    Again, pardon my ignorance–I’m sorry if this post came off as ranty or selfish. =]

  244. I was so moved by Yveltal crying out for me to help that I didn’t even hurt it when trying to catch it. I just kept on chucking Premier Balls at full health.

  258. Just a note:

    If you have a Hidden Ability Male with a Ditto, it passes on the Hidden Ability.
    If you have a Hidden Ability Female with a Ditto it passes on Hidden Ability
    If you have a Hidden Ability Female with Normal male it passes on Hidden Ability.

    if you have a Hidden Ability Male with Normal Female it DOES NOT pass on Hidden Ability.

    • I have tried the following with no success using a Smeargle:

      Rapid Spin, Toxic Spikes, Stealth Rock, Drain Punch, Mach Punch, Close
      Combat, Superpower, Power Whip, Storm Throw, Focus Punch, Sucker Punch, Pursuit, Zen Headbutt, Bullet Punch, Cross Chop, Horn Leech.

      The ones I can confirm are: Spikes, Synthesis, Rollout, and Curse

      • Really, no Close Combat or Superpower? What the fuck, Gamefreak?

        Something seriously odd has happened to Egg moves this gen, I’m sure of it.

        Reply

        • Yeah, I’m very disappointed with it’s terrible choice of choosing among Brick Break or Hammer Arm and Wood Hammer or seed bomb. Who knows, maybe I’ll find something but I almost completely exhausted every single fighting and grass move. But seriously bulletproof is too good!

          Reply

          • Well my strategy is pretty much going to be Leech Seed/Spiky Shield/Leftovers, but I really wanted Revenge because Chesnaught’s speed means it would be deadly to anyone daring to attack him and leave him not knocked out. But the lack of Revenge really sadens me. Still convinced weird things are happening to Egg moves, supposedly TMs are no longer passed down either?

          • yeah, I think it’s to make in-game not as easy. Because you can find a smeargle in that route to sketch any move to pass down. With TM moves being passable it will be easier.

  263. Oh God, You can’t pet Slugma in Pokemon Amie. That’s so sad. And that little creature has no idea why you are not giving him love and asks you like “what’s wrong why don’t you pet me?”. That’s even sadder （；へ：）

  264. LOL… confide has to be one of the funniest moves I’ve heard in a while.

    “The user tells the target a secret, and the target loses its ability to concentrate. This lowers the target’s Sp. Atk. stat.”

    • If one of the pokemon that’s needed for breeding is from a different country, your chances increase….but it’s really not noticeable. You could still go days without finding a shiny or find it in a matter of minutes. It’s really luck based.

    • Masuda method- if the two parents are of different languages (So a Japanese Ditto with an English Sandshrew, for example) then the chance of a shiny is slightly higher.

    • I have a regular Noibat (Don’t know if you’re looking for a Hidden Ability) really close to evolving if that’s okay.

  272. Oh TC, have you finished E4 yet? I just did yesterday….I am so happy that you have scrappy Loudred in your friend safari xD

  287. I hope this magazine goes big, maybe you guys can give us the leaks normally only from corocoro. Exept in English.

    Because it kills us waiting for these 4 pages on bliss every four years… and half of us can’t read it XD

    Reply

  288. starting a magazine is such a stupid idea for so many reasons, but mostly because the features you run in it would be better served on the site in the post-XY lull.

    This is one of the most popular Pokemon sites around, so why branch out to a dead medium?
