Long ago, back in the year 2013, Samual (moving), Sam and I discussed our mutual love of gaming outside of Pokémon and talked about opening a site that covered all gaming news. Although I bought the domain in March of last year, I didn’t start working on it for several months. We opened up the forum to some members from Mt. Moon Community and our Facebook page (fan perks I guess) and got some initial feedback. Then I got busy again and we started covering news related to Pokémon X & Y. After that was over though… and our semester had finished… we began work again on the site. I had wanted to reveal this on the first of January, but we decided we wanted more time to fix things 🙂
What is Retry Level?
A community-centric gaming site
Although there are a lot of game news sites out there, I felt that they lacked a real sense of community integration. Over the years, PokéJungle (the site, not me) has really inspired me to focus on new media in a way which draws the reader in and makes them a part of the site they’re visiting. To this end we’ve created a gaming site which will (eventually) feature content hubs based on both news AND community threads. They will open in several weeks after we’ve had time to fill up the forum a little.
An independent unbiased source of news and commentary
There’s also the issue of independence which is an important one for me personally. I’m not a fan of sites which are run by large corporations and are driven by how much profit they can milk out of their media properties. I’m not interested in plastering ads on every inch of Retry Level and I want our team to be able to fairly review and comment on games without working about reprisal from advertisers. There have been several incidences on gaming sites in which a reviewer’s score has been called into question.
What are some cool features?
Steam integration
We’ve invested in some plugins which allow our members to login with their Steam IDs, as well as areas of the site on which you can view other gamers who are currently online and what they’re playing. Big plus for PC gamers (like myself).
Twitch integration
Game streaming has become a phenomenon. We allow our members to add their own streams so other members can watch and comment on them. Currently the PC and PlayStation 4 support Twitch streaming and the Xbox One will as well within several months.
News from your favorite PJN staffers!
If you like how we do things here, you’re going to love Retry Level as well 🙂 The tone is a bit more professional, but we’re definitely the same writers and with the same intense passion for Pokémon and gaming! A cool thing about Retry Level for us is that we’ll get to see some of our regular commenters here also post on our gaming site. Which will make us very happy 😀
We’re just getting started!
It’s true! So don’t hesitate to offer feedback! We’re guided by your opinions so be sure to share them. This is definitely an exciting time for us and we’re very happy to be branching out into the general gaming field. I hoping you all will support us and help Retry Level to become a successful gaming news site that rivals any of them currently out there. We can do it!
Thanks for all the support, not just in this endeavor, but also right here at PokéJungle. Without the experience of running this site and the encouragement of all my visitors I wouldn’t be who I am today. I really owe you all a lot and everyone here means so much to me. You guys are great!
<3 PJ

He slowly gets up every game
does this mean in gen 7 he will be on his tippie toes
He will fly
probably fall again
Normal/Flying Snorlax Mega confirmed
gen 7 snorlax will be laying down again starting the trend again
It took him 17 years just to stand up
now when chico is 34 he will be standing again
I sincerely hope so. GF’s sense of humor is one of a kind
well someone hates me today well Downvoter i dont care 😀 i actually love it that someone acually has the time to downvote my comment i feel so honored
Downvoting just so the other guy/gal (who knows) doesn’t feel lonely
jealousy is the best kind of love

BARONS AND BARONNESSES
VISCOUNT AND VISCOUNTESS

My eyes!
anorexic snorelax
Wild malnutritioned Snorlax appears!
Can’t wait to see HM Dive done in 3D…
Since XY introduced new sayings like:
“The wild Helio you stepped on attacked”
I wonder if Pokes underwater will have new wild sayings. Like:
“The wild Clampearl you swam into attacked”
or… “a Wild Tentacool once to keep you below” 0_0
When are going to see dive?
if we get RS remakes we’ll see it def.
It served no purpose in Unova region :/
besides getting us arceus plates from undella bay
But what about pokemon + and –
those are still rumored. we know we’re getting new games this year we just don’t know what they’ll be exactly.
(Sorry for the questions) but why do you think it is this and RS remakes?
well just going off history we can guarantee new games this year. they released new games every year since 2009
2009: Platinum
2010: HeartGold & SoulSilver
2011: Black & White
2012: Black2 & White2
2013: X&Y
2014: New Game(s)
we know XY will be continued with the game that has the neighboring region to it, but we can also be sure a Hoenn remake is coming at some point. We just don’t know which game’s we’ll get first.
I hope Hoenn
Thanks for answering my questions, but one last question
When do you think they will announce it because if it is may we can be sure a new game is next year
I think it’ll be announced around April-June time frame with a possible November-January release
April_June that means like 7 to 8 months of waiting that is REALLY short
U got caught to shellmer shell
I actually want them to expand with the whole ‘horde’ thing
Like:
A flock of Wingul appeared.
A swarm of Scyther appeared.
A pride of Litleo appeared
awww a pride of litleo…
“A school of Finneon appeared”
the thing is we dont know if the games are the new region or the remakes
For all we know, the hints in gen 6 could all refer to gen 7 & not 6.5
or… like Marriland predicts, gen 6 could be a perpetual generation and divided into two, for longevity and since Pokedex is getting increasingly difficult to obtain all.
This could very well be the first gen that is divided into two, release 69 new pokes one year, release the remainder 50-60 new Poke’s the next year. We’ll just have to see what Nintendo is planning. I’m pretty sure what they want to reveal is hidden inside that folder that they instagramed.
YES
NEED
INFO

I like how it’s from the same exact link.xD
yeah I just copy and pasted yours for him lol
Ah. Okay, makes more sense.xD I googled Pokemon Y instagram.
But i can’t wait to see what’s inside that folder.
Are we sure it has to too with pokemon
of course. it has a pokemon 3DS folder on it. they would’ve removed it from the photo if it didn’t have anything to do with it.
It HAS a Pokemon themed 3ds XL on top of it. There was another game that came out around that time that they could have been promoting but they weren’t.
where was this post
the post is still up on their instagram profile which is instagram.com/nintendo it was posted on december 3rd
I KNOWWWWW
When was this?
december 3rd 2013
Folder they Instagramed? When? What? Where?

Does anyone know of a poll site that limits votes to once per person? Some people abused Google docs when it came to naming the professor.
http://www.poll-maker.com/
It doesn’t limit. I made a joke poll just now. Put in the same link after a voted and voted again.
could i see
http://goo.gl/5unl95
hahha 100% yes
I needed to know.xD
wow people are saying majora mask 3d when there is a pokemon 3ds on the folder
lol yeah the pic was posted on a day when a lot of people was talking about majora mask remake
oh ok
For the revealing of the game they should open the folder and show us what is inside
Please understand……..
I’m so excited 🙂
if they do, I hope the first file/paper/image has Mega Zygarde on it lol
But are we sure it is pokemon related?
definitely. they would’ve put zelda merchandise or something i it had to do with zelda or anything else
its red a folder HURNNN!!!!!!!
Looks orange
regirock is orange HURRNNN
Plus it says that it needs signing to be official
I will sign it
it probably signed
On Nintendos Twitter yesterday:
*refresh*
And don’t get hyped up, they post this every week.
and the fact that its a 3DS on the folder… not a pokemon toy… keychain.. any other merchandise… but a 3DS leads me to believe that its definitely game news.
When does Nintendo reveal pokemon games?
Should be next year.
It always seems to differ. XY were announced 3 months after B2W2 came out. It so far has been around 3 months since XY came out. Maybe they’ll be announced for April corocoro, since March corocoro will be about which event mon will be distributed
I mean like normally game freak or pokemon directs announce new games, Has nintendo ever announced a pokemon game
It might. But it could also be something else. Don’t raise your hopes to high.
they better not disappoint. All the comments people left on it were either about hoenn remakes or majoras mask lol
Crossover!
Customize your trainer as Link in the Hoenn region.

Link with Pokemon
I want to see Majora’s Mask tbh.
3DS game news. Of course. No pokemon for Wii U. xD
Yippy! Don’t have to spend my money on a wii-u lol. Will definitely do it though just for Pokemon :/ lol
Same. But i really want that Zelda game >.>
i bet u there will be video of this folder they will show the back of the 3ds take out the 3ds game reveling the new pokemon game
Seems a bit pointless. They could just tweet the trailer for said game around time of announcement or concept art.
ehh
The is really unlikely. It’s a bit to early to announce a new PKMN game. People just got X & Y in October. But I’m willing to see what it is!
i mean like in the future
Not too early to announce. All they need to do is put up some logo art, provide little information and a Release window like Q4 2014
what folder?
people say it too early… we got x/y annouced in jan when black 2/white 2 came out for us in October
Japan got it earlier. This time, everyone got X & Y at the same time. Also, it takes GameFreak a lot of time to make a new game.
didnt work on black and white with sinnoh
They had to over increase there staff for X & Y. That’s why we got B2/W2 to keep us occupied to till they were done! Once B2/W2 was done. All of there staff came together to work on PKMN X & Y. That’s why it had a large development time of 3.5 years!
and B2W2 were announced 5 months after B1W1 were released in japan.
But B2W2 were announce in feb of 2012
BW came out September 2010 in japan
The folder probably has a troll face in it.
Troll type confirmed.
the folder has the green pokemon x and y 3ds….
The 3DS is red tho
new model duh!
The folder announces Reggie as the new protagonist for the next Pokemon Anime
It’s not too early too announce new games Afarr IMO.
B1W1 were released in japan in Sept 2011
B2W2 were announced 5 months after Feb 2012
they released in Japan in June 2012
when B2W2 came out in America, XY were announced 3 months after…
had same dates wrong just edited
lol. I’m just sayin’ nobody should get there hopes high. Cuz when you do and it ends up not being what you want. You have problems.
true. i’m already scratching at my neck fiending for Bank
actually if the folder is approved that means inside are the picture of the concept arts and in-game screenshots meaning that a trailer could be in the works as we speak
>.< what folder????
http://24.media.tumblr.com/26b6bf298615012c0a07f8c82da0d3c9/tumblr_mx9l79DiG21r8sc3ro1_1280.jpg
how old is this????? I swear I remember saying that I was afraid of gamer_boy55 months ago
That folder is empty though.
It most likely contains all Wii U games to be released in 2015.
OMFG finally got shiny Scyher!
I want Nintendo to reveal Majora’s Mask and HURREN remakes already people will just keep nagging them until they get it.
https://24.media.tumblr.com/bc59df6f42401dd953076df63fa0ceb1/tumblr_mz8ncho19M1qhxv3jo1_500.jpg
Woah. Wonder how people even get the birds eye view shots of the map.
“Santalune Forest is just Viridian Forest in 3D, whoa D:”
Also Junichi left twitter for 2 weeks cause people get spamming about bank and being rude to him.
I knew it!!!
No proof. ^ xD
Layout felt the same 😛
Hopefully it’s enough for Gen wunners.xD
i actually knew that already
Prove it
i go on the wikipedia alot
Bulbapedia. Caught you in a lie.xD
thats what i meant i forgot how to spell Bulbapedia. Plus the fact that all pokemon found in Virdian forest could be found there too
I felt so much nostalgia when I made it there. Also does that mean the mega stone was there in gen 1?????????? Prob not.
Gamegenie
there’s complainers and then there’s being an ass. these people were presumably both
i heard that people were being racist as well. What does race have to do with Pokemon Bank, honestly.
I knew something felt familiar about it…
