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!

Oh no, im getting mauled by a starly O_____0 what pokemon should i choose
Caterpie
its chimchar turtqwig or piplup
Either Chimmy or Twigster
PIPPIE GETS NO LOVE:(
I’ve never chosen a Water Starter
Ever since I lost my Blastoise from Blue
!_______! but water starters rock ,
mudkip,oshawott,piplup,totodile ,froakie are beast
You know me
I LIKE TO GET PHYSICAL WITH DA FIRE TYPES
or in X’s case Chespin
technically, feraligator is a physical attacker
and swampert
Swampert is a different case…..
I loved Totodile as a kid
Now with sheer froce, it can wreck pretty hard
piplup
yep thats what id choose 😀
Does anyone have a Camerupt they’d be willing to trade?
for data or for keeps?
For the breedings, ja.
Yip! FC 4399-0432-3487! 🙂 Yours?
5172-0282-1393, thank you.
First Poke I find in the wild
Kadabra!
are u nuzlocking
It’s a randomized rom
with the rom in other words a randomized nuzlocke
Nope! not a clue…..I think it is
My buddy Rob downloaded it for me
no a nuzlocke is a challenge you set for your self with certain rules
Any Pokémon that faints is considered dead, and must be released.
The player may only catch the first Pokémon encountered in each area, and none else. If the first Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances. If the first encounter in the area is a Double Battle in dark grass, the player may choose which of the two Pokémon they would like to catch -from bulbapedia
OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH
No this rom completely Randomizes the Pokemon
Like I just found a Level 2 Shelgon
so a normal randomized playthrough?
yes
i know its just a randomizer, you can add the rules during your hunt making it a randomizer nuzlocke
Delibird
Corsola
Kadabra
so… what do i do now?
from what?
idk.. i dont have access to my pc and now im stuck browsing this place with my wiiu
Find every tm
Catch every pokemon in kalos dex
Create your gym leader team for steel
playing Pokemon BlazeBlack 2 The starters become Grass/Dragon, Fire/Ground, Water/Fighting
ikr. i loved that change… makes so much sense too
I could never get my ds emulator to work…
Which one u have
I deleted it awhile ago
Desume works u have to play with the settings
try No$GBA if Desmume doesnt work
@BigGuyI:disqus u using Emerald Randomizer Program?
Yeeeeess
restarting a new random emerald Nuzlocke
serperior woulda been so much much more loved if it was Grass/Dragon
mega serperior grass dragon ability contrary
lol. true that
Earthen do u keep the palettes unchanged.. what does random colors do
I have no Idea
I don’t know how it works since a friend downloaded it for me
it just randomized the pokemon
well somehow random colors changes the colors completely to like a black Seel
They should release an Event Serperior that comes with Event Move Draco Meteor and HA Contrary… since non-dragons can’t learn Draco Meteor :/ (unless your Event Jirachi)
or at least dragon pulse
DM would be too OP on serperior
lol exactly why I want it 😛
leaf storm
that aint enough
tutor move? I want Draco Meteor since it can benefit from contrary
*sigh* 70 eggs . . .
I just reached 40 eggs. Trying to hatch shiny nidoran. I didn’t begin hatching the 40 yet gonna collect a few more
ithsme is breeding for a perfect pokemon not shiny
I’m breeding for a perfect….shiny.
thats IMPOSSIBRU… but possibru
Just so ya know, even 2 6 IV parents produce another 6 IV every 32 eggs or so. One 6 IV and 5 IV have a 1.8 percent of making a 6 IV, or 55 eggs, but it could take up to 200-500 eggs
5 IV with bad sp.atk, and 6 IV, my goal is 5 IV without atk.
I have no idea how you haven’t gotten one after 70 eggs then
Random colors are so cool i saw red and gold beldum
Technically theonly good contrary move on serperior is leaf storm :i
Contrary Superpower Malamar is pretty good! A different option.
Contrary V-create Spinda is pretty dope too, but hard to set up.
V-create?! lol
yeah lol. Spinda learns “Assist”. Make sure Victini and Spinda are your last two Pokemon, and Victini’s only move is V-Create.
That way you use Assist and copy V-create from victini
how does does spinda get v create lol
read below lol
Ah i see. Its as good as sketch on smeargle. Smergle with dark void
There’s a kid spamming this chat LF a dark void smeargle at the moment lol
I want one with Geomancy. I accidentally traded mine away I think cause its not in my pc lol
white herb smeragle with geomancy 0_____o TOO OP
with baton pass. my kind of poke
Nicknamed Troll
(refresh) how it works 😀
looks like dragon fruit
totally… slurpuff must be drooling at this point
I’d eat it!
Fun Fact number 182
I LOVE FRUIT
never had that fruit but it does look tasty
its ehhh. not as tasy as thought to be. you dont eat the outside, you eat the white and black inside.
oh
Duhhhh
Just like the delicious outer of a Coconut!
Also I’ve landed myself in the ER from cutting melon
okay…
All of my ER trips are fruit related!
My starter:PF Changs the Houndoom
So i was texting a friend cause she asked me for an HA vulpix. I replied in trollish grammar. So she calls out the bad grammar. To which i reply “Much like my milkshakes, better than yours” xD
OH SNAP

chesnaughtninja’d
The world of Pokemon would explode
Mega Smeargle.
I always wanted that Smeargle from Pokestar studios that had the bow-tie :/
Well if you want to break your game, you can hack one in
I saw! If it was transferable to XY I would’ve got someone to do it for me somehow lol
I would hack in Primal Dialga
oh you can i think
0_____0 MUST HAVE IT

i know its the only thing stopping me
whats a primal dialga?
