PokéJungle Recaps 2013

by

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!

<3 PJ

  4. A better look
    THE NEW REGION. By MayorSKiddo( NOT A CRACK HEAD)

    The Berry theory(Founded by Marriland)

    In the Official Pokémon Guide there is a section on berries. Seems normal right but look closely at the saying 14 more berries aren’t found in kalos but in other regions. YOU HEARD THAT OTHER REGIONS. People would say oh we can get it from past gen games and such. BUT REMEMBER THAT POKEBANK DOESN’T TRANSFER ITEMS: D. so basically theses myster berries are found in the east region of Kalos.

    The Shellos line( heavy theory)

    Notice something Shellos only comes in west form but not east. This hints right away that another region will form in the next games since Kalos is on the west side while the other region is on the the east side where green shellos are found.

    THE WOLF LEGENDARY

    Npcs around Kalos talked about a strange Ice-type wolf. Out of the Pokémon we seen we haven’t seen a wolf in gen 6 that even an ice-type. Maybe they were talking about the suppose other region next to kalos where the legend could be hiding

    The next Region based off Germany

    The next region could be based off Germany since it’s on the right side of France( Kalos is based off). To the most far that Snowbell city one of the cities closest to the edge and that Snow mountain are closed to this other region where Germany is heavily snows during the winter hinting why those areas are covered in the snow.

    THE HIKER

    The Mister Hiker who says he’s from an other region that not part of the last five gens. What Region could he be from. If u keeps talking to him he will gladly talk about then give you a special survinior which shape of the legendary from that region. Possible the wolf Legendary if u thinks about.

  12. Just my 2 cents. I want the next Region to be based on Russia and for Chernobyl to feature as a radioactive area that causes certain Pokemon to evolve when levelled up in that area

  13. @MayorSkiddo:disqus talked about an Ice wolf Legendary, The only interesting thing i found when googling was

    “The sixth hint is an old “leak” where a number of pokemon were revealed.
    Among others, this rumor had Meowstic, Braixen and even Zygarde well
    before they were officially confirmed. This rumor also had this:
    Burigaron
    (ブリガロン) — Maybe a
    blizzard wolf: buri (ブリ) from blizzard
    (burizaado) + garo (ガロ / 牙狼)
    meaning fanged wolf. It could also come from garou
    (餓狼) meaning starving wolf.”

    This was interesting.

  14. Although we have an immense amount of proof to theorize that indeed, GF does have a Eastern region for Poke’Trainers to go through, the subject that we could be dealing with might be larger than we think. Remember the destructive time in history and it all began in Germany. Yes, I’m talking about that time. Could GF finally be attempting a story at the true nature of War? If so, the almost lack-luster story in X and Y… is that just a set up? A set up for something truly bigger? A story to end all stories? A game to end all games? POKEMON XZ? POKEMON YZ? POKEMON Z?

  15. Any thoughts suggestions
    Coalbra the Ignition Snake Pokemon Fire starter
    When frightened by predators, coalbra ignites the flames around its neck. Each flame is a strong as 1,000 manlight fires
