Recently, the comment section has been engaging in discussion of a PJN tournament, where we go all out and fight for #1, whether it be with the best Pokémon or with your favorites. As such, the staff chat has been bustling with discussion over it, with all of us bouncing and throwing ideas out at each other. The idea of a PJN tournament is definitely not a new one, but with the advent of Super Training, and other advances in the way you raise Pokemon (special thanks to Destiny Knot!), we think that this is the perfect time for us to see who really has the best battling skills in our community
Right now, details are still in the works but we hope to share more information with you soon. However, we would like to share a few anticipated questions, for better discussion in the comments.
When will this be held?
We don’t have an exact date. Expect it to be around the holiday season this year though.
Is this a Competitive-centric tournament?
Yes. With Super Training, we believe that even those who have no idea how to EV train the old-fashion way can still participate, and we see no reason as to splitting tiers and such. We understand some readers would like us to host this tournament using online Battle Simulators, at this point we will use only Pokémon X & Pokémon Y. It is possible we will allow the use of online battle simulators in future tournaments.
What are the Tournament Rules/Banned Pokemon and moves/Clauses/Tiers?
We’re still throwing ideas around at this point. Most of the staff are pushing for just the standard flat rules and clauses present in the game, with a hope of maybe doing 4 on 4 doubles and not 6 on 6/ 3 on 3 singles. Discussion would be widely appreciated regarding this.
Will there be any prizes for the winners?
Again, in the works. We would like to hear what you guys would like for a prize 🙂
How can I help out?
Tell your friends and share your ideas or concerns in the comments!
Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, it’s safe to let the comments begin. Input on anything regarding this tournament is welcome and very appreciated, we all look forward to reading them! 🙂
Note from moving: Some of you may have been involved in the initial discussion with me about this a few days back, that small chat was what has kickstarted this into action. The sooner more of your express your interest in participation in this tournament the sooner sign-ups will be opened and we can begin sorting battle arrangements. Ideally we would open sign-ups this coming weekend and begin formatting early next week.
welp gg

Favorite Pokemon Movie? I want to watch one tomorrow.
Noone
The Lugia one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqpXrDuLqE0
…..
Leaves from the vine….
The Movie 2000.
That one’s in my top 5. :3 Watched it all the time as a kid.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLfvM6Z5Fj4 :3
Pokemon Heroes (I cry every time), Pokemon the Movie 2000-The Power of one. I love Lugia’s song. I also liked the Darkrai movie because of this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OB6SJkc1sGg
The Lucario one was pretty cool imo. One of the first influences I had with Pokemon.
I LOVE Pokemon heroes. That’s like my 4th favorite (although it’s hard to rank them. My top 5 are Destiny Deoxys, Jirachi Wishmaker (I luv Hoenn if you can’t already tell), 2000, Heroes, and the last one changes depending on the day you ask me. 😛
Heroes
The First Movie. That was all I ever wanted to rent from blockbuster.
That was a pretty nostalgic comment. First you mention the movie, then you mention blockbuster. XD
Someone get me some tissues! I’m crying nostalgia tears :'(
where
there is a lot of nostalgic energy flowing, this is not good…
@_@..
If GenWunners come, then we are fudged.
Genwunners are not the only ones we’ll need to worry about, people will get overtly bitchy towards newer shows, blaming them for cancelling their favorite shows when they had no intent to, acting like their older shows were as perfect as jesus when they have a lot of noticeable flaws, and people will make absolutely daft petitions to wage wars on tv network companies, the horror, THE HORROR!!
yep people are just overly critical nowadays
It is very good 🙂
you don’t understand, people get ignorant because of nostalgia, they put on their “nostalgia glasses” and see their childhood shows as perfect and all of the new shows as waste of space tripe
Anyone have a normal ditto safari?
noone
Just Askin a question tryin to get a shiny ditto
I like your avatar.
Thanks I got it from a person here I don’t remember who tho
don’t, just….don’t
Hey, they are so useful.
So after three days of intense battles, I successfully move on to the second round of the school tournament.
Good work! 😀
Too bad you’re not in it. Good thing nobody seems to use a talonflame.
Hahaha, well I might be a part of the Pokejungle tournament 🙂
My first opponent was a stall team kinda guy. Blissey, mega aggron, ferrothorn, dusclops, tentacruel, and vaporeon.
Definitely a lot of bulk there, how’d that battle go? What happened?
A lot of switching, a lot of stalling.
Point taken xD
He kept trying to burn me, and I tried to spin away his rocks but his dusclops kept blocking me. I knew his dusclops was going for a will o wisp, and the only thing I had left that wouldn’t be crippled was my volcorona, but stealth rocks were still up. I took the chance, quiver danced, got cursed, and fiery danced his dusclops out. The next turn I got one solid hit in before the curse killed me. Eventually I killed tentacruel with donphan, who was equipped with an assault vest, and knocked out vaporeon with helioisk. With his roaring vaporeon and dusclops out of the way, I used scolipede to rack up boosts, then baton passed to heracross, who proceeded to mow through like a redneck on a motorized lawnmower.
Thanks for the details! Quite the battle you had, and taking that chance with Volcarona paid off. Also, very awesome strategy passing the Speed Boosts to that monster! There’s just no stopping it at that point unless there’s a Talonflame with Gale Wings xD
u have a tournament at ur school?
Yes sir.
I want to go to your school! XD
y dont more people at my school like pokemon? I know like 6 out of a whole lot :/
lucky, I only know like 2, and they don’t do competitive
The ones I know only talk competitive. Sometimes I think “why can’t you guys just enjoy it without saying it’s not good cause it’s this type or it has too many weakness or it doesn’t have good stats?” that’s seriously all I hear
I know one person from school who miht have the game, but he does internet school and i have not seen him in months.
I go to a public school in Portland. Portland kids like video games. There’s competitive melee in the cafeteria.
where’s Portland again? Washington? I’m sorry I’m really tired, as I said in my Bio if you hover over my avatar :p
Oregon.
oh ok 🙂 I knew that i’m so tired i tend to forget things when this happens and i tend to talk funnily
thats not correct grammar usage
Nostalgia rush!

Sigh… Everyone’s being nostalgic but me…
