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 😀
Want a New Year’s Resolution?
I’m going to shamelessly suggest that you make it your resolution to join our GREAT forum and post regularly 😀 It’s rather quiet right now, but we’ve got some great members and the commenters here would feel at home there. Hope to see you at Mt. Moon Community in 2014!

OK… Mike. 😀
Are you Jaclyn?
Yes. Playing as a girl. THANK YOU!
You’re welcome :3
Do you like Porygon? Maybe you could evolve it… XD
That stat…
Me. Got it from GTS
Level 1, got it from Wonder Trade.
I’ll brb bout to go cry for a little bit
Don’t forget the tissues.
What’s wrong?
So by recommendation, I guess I will look into Bravely Default and Tales of the Abyss (already have other suggestions).
I swear… hidden in Doublade’s cry is Facebook’s message notification sound or something very similar.
@shinyxatu:disqus tales of the abyss has AMAZING stroyline, plot twists, and great music one of the themes is below. I HIGHLY recomend it its also on ps2
I’m very interested now 😀 I’ll go for the 3DS one because it’s my primary console.
I wanted to get it too but i settled for 4 Ps3 games at the price of 1
theres one for the 3ds you know
I know
I’m weird…
I find it fun to breed egg moves on to a Poke. Even if you don’t plan on using it.
The fact that you can erase egg moves and can relearn them in 6th gen is so dope.
I’m glad. I bred something in gen 5 for egg moves, got everything perfect. I evolved it and accidentally made it forget the egg move and it couldn’t learn it again…
IKR!! Later tonight I will be breeding for adamant mudkip, gonna chain the egg moves Yawn, Avalanche, Bite, & Curse on to it.
Could I have one of your many spares?
yeah. I still have a bunch of spare of Adamant Totodile (males & females) with Metal Claw, Crunch, Dragon Dance, & Ice Punch. If you wanted one of those as well I got ya 😉
I’m missing both Totodile and Mudkip so that would be great 😀
Whaaaa?!
You could get paid good pokes for your hobby. I hate breeding for egg moves…
I love doing it. I already got the parents ready for the chain breeding with their moves. I’ll have fun with it later. I just pray I don’t do something foolish like be drunk enough to wonder trade shiny mudkip or something (if i hatch 1) since I’ll be a loose cannon once I come back from my friends party lol.
That would suck! Lol!
Your shiny Treecko avatar is taunting me…
Haha. I was gonna put my shiny Totodile as my av but Amie doesn’t really show off its blue spikes lol.
I really hope that Shiny Charm text is a mistranslation. It better affects breeding…
If I hatch shiny mudkip tonight then I’m convinced it may indeed work…
Breeders Rock! They are at the Base of EVERY Good Trainer! ; )
@slipperysceptile:disqus Ready :3
Yep we can do it continuously
I have an extra Porygon and Cottonee if you want them
ill tai the extra cottonee
Okay :3
Slaking is ready to pose
Gonna name it “Mm Gurrl Pls”
Slaking dominated in my b2 team. In X and Y he will be even stronger 🙂 Along with shiny zorack and sceptile 🙁 pokebank come sooner
I never battled competitively xD
The only REAL Pokemon game i owned was Diamond and LeafGreen. I played all the gameboy and Gba ones cause i borrowed them from friends. The rest of them i got on and Flashcart for the DS. I finally bought a physical copy of B2 for bank. I did manage to find Gold and Blue at two different stores.
i never really competitive battled either since my wifi didnt let but my team never fainted and consisted of those three
Yeah the 3ds wifi is more flexible than the Ds lite wifi
what flash cart?
R4. It lets you play Roms on a ds.
i have one too 😀 it even has cheats
I usually used it for questionable games xD and Pokemon. I had a GBC and NES emulator on it :3
Mine had black, white ,soul silver, i never had problems breeding, catching, or leveling up lol
Same lol I also used it to play rom hacks like Volt White
im getting a new one next week to make up for my parents throwing away platinum
Awesome but why would they do such a thing D:
found it in the living room closet thought i didnt need it and threw it away 3 monthes ago
Wow ._. coulda asked.
This Feebas has TOO much potential! It passed the IV test with flying colors! It has the potential to get 31 IV’s on all it’s stats except it’s HP which is 15 IV’s.
HP Is it’s most reliable stat, you need hp if I was you
Yeah. Although it’s sp. def is quite high as well. That 31 IV in def is going to come in handy to wall physical sweepers. With walls put up by Sylvee and Esp, it’s going to be amazing.
REALLY? lol I didn’t bother checking the
Ivs
OMFG!!! THANK YOU SHINYNOIVERN!!! MY FEEBAS HAS A PERFECT DEF AND SP. DEF VALUE OF 31!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You’re welcome :3
The demo of that Bravely Default game that Reggie advertised, with the exclusive content, comes out on the 2nd. Since you guys seem to recommend it, I will try it out.
I haven’t played it but it’s Square Enix and similar to Final Fantasy :3
I haven’t played any of the Final Fantasy games. It’s a genre that I am thinking of entering in 2014.
It’s a great game. If you have a Ps3 theres a demo up on the PSN for Final Fantasy 13. The game is $10 at Gamestop
I do have a PS3 as a matter of fact. And THERE ARE 13 GAMES???
Yup.xD
Well, 15. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3xKbPooKAo

I dont… know….
Do you know what I’m excited for in 2014? Another great year for the 3DS. The system has been churning out great games since 2011!
I remember when everyone said the 3ds was going to fail
Next year the Wii U will succeed, I can just feel it.
flashcarts are actually pretty cool
Milotic, F. (Competitive/Marvel)
Leftover
Ice Beam
Surf
Rest
Sleep Talk
Watcha think? Any suggestions?
Why Surf?
stab
Oh, alright then.
Scald is so much better, deals with physical attackers sometimes
is it a tank then definately yes
Which one do you think is better?
Milotic, leftovers
Recover
Substitute
Surf
Ice Beam/Attract
The first one.
first
Thank you! ;D
no problem:D

@shinyxatu:disqus 15 Main games actually.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3xKbPooKAo
That…that is unbelievable.
The new one is like God of War, Uncharted and Devil May cry ._. It’s beautiful.
So of these “JRPGs” as I assume they are called, Tales of the Abyss and Bravely Default are the two most notable?
On the 3DS that is.
Yes. Not AS amazing as FF. But still good :3

Anyone have a Prism Scale? Anyone want to trade it to me? You can find it in Couriway Town, Up the stairs east of the Route 19 Gate (hidden)
Why can’t you get one, also you can get them from trash cans, find one wobbling and safe before it and keep trying till you get one
I restarted my game all over. I just beat the first gym.
Oh well for milotic, I run toxic, scald, protect and recover
It rapes special attackers
Scald can counter physical attackers and giving leftovers heps since you can protect for a little heal
Sorry if spam but does anybody have Electivire, MAgmortar, Tangrowth, Togekiss,Dusknoir
Did you need the final evos of the Gen 2-5 starters?
I have the starters but i could use them
okay. Keep the Cottonee. I’ll give you the data for those and Whimsicott

I’m gonna make an evolutionary line, it’s going to be based on a jay and a quetzal for the bird specie and pheonix as it’s lore
