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!

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?

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 😀

Didn’t want to risk the speed tie.
thanks for the drought boost.
I hated you for that…
Specs galvantula ftw!
funfact
x and y mascots were created by two people when Sugimori got a artist block
lol that’s funny
Oooh the skill swap now its useless…
In terms of popularity, do you believe Greninja is the new Charizard?
No.
i never found out why charizard was so popular
cause:
1st gen
fire
and a dragon
WHAT MORE CAN A PERSON ASK FOR?
..well lots of things, but as a kid, i bet that was super cool LOL
well bulbasaur was the first and only duel type starter… that goes all the way to final
but hes a lil .. thing. i think people appealed more to charmander’s dragon/reptile traits ? dunno o.o
I wonder why that is. I find it odd.
Not really.
Charizard was popular?
Wow, is this even a question?!
not very close xD; i dont see lots of people fangirling over greninja . i still see people weirded out by his tongue
lol at first i thought the tongue was the scarf.
I thought so too. Many people did.
Fair enough. I questioned this more people seem to pick Froakie as a starter than the others, like Charmander in Gen 1. Also, I often see Greninja used in wifi battles, but not Delphox or Chesnaught.
mostly its design wise. at the beginning, everyone wanted fennekin most, because its just a regular little fox and the evos couldve went down so many cool trails. chespin had the short end of the stick for having a derpy second evo but then in the end, lots of people likes chesnaught a lot. however, greninja’s hidden ability is what makes most people want him more than the other two.
i think people probably went for charmander in gen 1 because “dragons being cool” ..even if he wasnt one XD just predicting
I remember those days (Fennekin being the popular one at the time). I was originally going to pick Fenniken, but my bro got dibs on it first. However, I have a second chance with the sequels!
In terms of Greninja’s design, yeah, it’s awesome! A water ninja frog? Are you freaking kidding me!?!? YES!!!
no
Never
Free swords dance!
I’m doing horrible. My Pokemon have not learned all their moves yet.
Its ok. everyone does horribly their first few battles.You just gain experience win or loose!

How is your Excadrill faster than Esp?
Max speed.

Nature?

Did you draw your avatar? ^^
nuu, i found it on tumblr c: its very hard finding good korrina art…too many people draw her in fetish-based pics ._.
well u gotta please everyone 😀
That. A Shiny Search or filter cause people can put shines asking for shinies and end up getting ripped off.
and an IV searcher.
and summary checker, move checker, and being able to say yes or no to offers 😀
That too. Multiple offers.
So people don’t get ripped when others advertise as “6 IVS!”
and Ability search too, Pretty much everything in bank.xD
yes :c
THANK YOU!
You’re welcome. Enjoy the Cottonee :3

Should I raise a Vulpix with drought?
Of course.
Hmmmm, I’ll need a Gale Wing Fletchling with priority Brave Bird… Do you know who has one? With good iv’s…
