This year was certainly a memorable one in the Poké-verse. Almost a full year ago we were treated to a Pokémon direct that revealed Generation VI of the main series. Many had wondered what other colors or gems there were left to use for their names, but The Pokémon Company surprised us all by announcing Pokémon X & Pokémon Y. These two new games boasted features fans had only dreamed of, including 3D graphics, trainer customization, and a global release. Then came the 9 months of waiting for them to come out. We all persevered however and everyone was kept up to date on all the minute revalations right here at PJN 😉
Along with Generation VI, 2013 also saw a new Pokémon movie, Genesect and the Legend Awakened, as well as a new anime season featuring the cast of Pokémon X & Y. New TCG sets based on the game also debuted.

Staff: Favorite Moments of 2013
PJ: My favorite Pokémon memory of 2013 was probably getting to go to the Pokémon Game Show. It was a first for the series and the event was super fun. I also got a chance to play Pokémon X & Y early which was a blast (but made me even more impatient)! Obviously another great moment was the release of X & Y. They’re great games and being able to start my own adventure was something I had waited to do since they were announced. Lastly, I’d just like to say that 2013 was a year of exciting growth for this site and it really has been a privilege to deliver news to all of you and read your comments on all our posts. I’ve also really enjoyed working alongside all of the staff here. Here’s to a great 2014!
moving: 2013 has been a pretty big year for me. My activity and work on the site increased hugely and it now feels like I’ve become a proper part of the site (hopefully the other staff and visitors agree!), and I’m proud to say I’ve been a part of PokéJungle.nets biggest and busiest year yet. It’s difficult to fit all of my highlights of the year into a couple of sentences, so I won’t even try… However one of my favourite moments was in the week before X & Y released, the staff were all up in arms about who would be doing what and who would get their copy of the game first. Then, two days early I received my game shortly after Sammydodger and properly kicked off our in-depth coverage. There’s absolutely loads I could pick, but that will do for now, perhaps more in the comments… 2014? Bring it on!
Visitors: Favorite Moments of 2013
Your turn! We here at PJN would like to hear about your favorite things from this past year. We’ve also prepared a small list of questions to inspire you 😉
- What piece of news made you most excited for Pokémon X & Y?
- What was your favorite Pokémon that was introduced this year?
- Any non-Pokémon things that were memorable for you in 2013?
Looking Forward to 2014
A new year means new possibilities. We already know of one release we’ll get: Pokémon Bank. After it’s rocky launch and subsequent removal in Japan, only time will tell when it will be released worldwide. Hopefully soon though! The next year could also bring new surprises for fans. Spin-offs? Remakes? Who knows what will be announced. One thing’s for sure though… we’ll do our best here at PJN to report it first! So we hope you’ll stick with us and come along for the ride 😀

Very unlikely
Nope, it’s a dysfunctional Metapod.
is it serious nature? tahts the best
If its female, catch it!
You can breed the move String Shot on to it from a Kakuna.
im 155 away from shiny charm 😀
No it was a Wonder Trade XD
Love that avatar
thanks 🙂
Evolve dat ho into sceptile. O-O<— your face when you see shiny sceptile
I’m asking again. Does anyone have a Feebas yet?
Yes! DOES ANYONE HAVE A FEEEBAS? I NEEED ONEE!!!!!!!
Tales otaco has one! 😀
I have feebas
Ooh! Can you breed one please?
Sure :3
Yay! What’d you want for it?
It’s free. I finished my dex already xD
Ooh! Yay! Okay! When can you trade?
After it hatches :3
I won’t be available for another hour at least.
Well whenever you’re on
CAN YOU PLEASE BREED ONE FOR ME??? GOOD NATURE AND MOVESET PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I can’t promise a good nature and moveset but i can promise a Feebas xD
That’s all I need. TY
My FC is 1864-9244-2288
Did you still want a Buneary? I have a crap ton.
ok im gonna trade away my yeveltal. if mr.snivy doesn’t have HA i will flip my shit!
You do that.
i will if it doesn’t.
I don’t like trading my legendaries. It feels wrong.
no no!!! first put up a totodile (or diff starter, but toto worked for me) and request an yveltal.
then use the yveltal that comes through as bait. Cause your likely gonna get ripped off. I got ripped off 2-3 times from GTS liars.
i read that as “flip my shirt”
not anymore…
I WAS going to be generous with my trades, but I have got absolutely nothing useful back so far.
I got a lvl 1 Charmander with Jolly nature. Scratch, Outrage, Dragon Dance, and Growl.
I JUST GOT A CHARMANDER
By the powers of Arceus…
We got it from the same guy!
Charles?
Did it say “Big Service”?
Is the owner Charles?
IT FITS THAT DESCRIPTION PERFECTLY
I’ve gotten one of those too.
That awkward moment when you put two pokemon in the daycare, step out and theres an egg instantly waiting for you ._.
Caught in the act
The ditto must be very sexy to my Whimsicott
General rule of thumb: Don’t trust GTS trade promises
Star Bits will learn….
I’ve definitely learned.
I’m honest with mine
:3
The japanese on the GTS are honest too.
There are exceptions to every rule
True.

in the pokedex why is their a pokeball instead of three kalos symbol
cause its not native to Kalos region
and the pokeball is ugly.
My last 5 Noibat eggs PLEASE HOLD A SHNY NOIBAT AT LEAST ONE!!
*keeps fingers crossed*
uses Shiny O-Power
thats real?
BAH! I wish!
How do you think he found his shinies?
*crosses finger*
Shiny Pumpkaboo! Was aiming for shiny Shuppet but Ok…
with shiny charm how long did it take to find a shiny in safari? I haven’t tried yet….
Yesterday wasn’t exactly my day.. .spent 4 hours in safari with no luck.
Today however, it only took 30 minutes+
I feel like Shiny Charm probably only effects the actual normal in-game wild, and probably doesn’t effect fish chaining, masuda, or friend safari.
Then I guess I will try Shiny Charm with horde battles using Sweet Scent.
4 seviper,
1 shiny Zangoose
that music for completing the dex
So people find legendaries and shinies on Wonder Trade? I can’t see it happening.
It’s happened.
Not to me of course.
When I finished getting all the legends from GTS I wonder traded away Azelf & Reshiram
my friend got a zygarde for a weedle
Haha that’s awesome.
GOT A SMEARAGLE.
Why do the Japanese get all of the distributions.
It’s not fair man.
It’s just not fair.
;(
WT americans are all beginners trading the monkeys, Flecthling and pikachu
Got a Fletchling and Panpour
because of a stupid pokeball symbol i dont have a crown on my poked. I still got the oval charm but the crown is cool:(
What?
I first had the 3 golden stars on them.
But when I got to 705 they turned into 3 golden crowns.
Stars? Oh, I guess at that point you have seen them all. I never got the stars because I caught them all for the Kalos dexes, I got the crowns instead.
same
1 EGG LEFT PLEASE!!!!!!!
dont give up grasshopper its your destiny
YOU MUST SELL YOUR SOUL TO MOTHER XATU!
I always get my hopes up when I find a Japanese person, with the idea that they will trade non-native Pokemon…
…I just got a Weedle from one of them.
Das so rares
I like French pokes. Nothing was more disappointing than expecting something fabulous and it turn out to be a Magicarpe
Its not shiny… I guess it was destined for me not to find a shiny noibat
Disappointment
sorry bud :/
have you tried a noibat safari?
I have none
Tip people!
i did 4 times
Tip until you’ve reached 10,000.
I tipped $40,000
Ooh. Okay.
