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!

NNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!! I’m so done!!! 3/4 of 100!! 75% 75 eggs!!! I’m freaking so sick of this! Anyone want a ****** with HP Atk Def SpDef Spe? I got about 60!! Please help!
What is it?
Who is it?
I dont wanna say, but I guess I kinda have to, so cleffa.
Ah! I have one already 😛 Does it have egg moves?
Yeah mine has aromatherapy.
Oh so a Cleric? Are you running only one attack or more?
One atk. Stored power.
So let me guess, MB, CP, ML and Aromatherapy? You’re going to get walled by Steels and Darks
I dont do well with arconyms. Idk what they are. Cosmic power, stored power, aromatherapy, and moonlight. I was also thinking maybe moonblst.
Yeah thats what the acronyms stood for lol didnt want to give away you set or anything. You have the same set as mine minus the Aroma. I have Moonblast instead. Aromatherapy would work well with Wish
is wish an egg move?
Yeah unfortunately :/
I’ll take anything that’s IV bred
OOOOOO YES PLEASE! 😀
Does anyone actually watch Pokemon GET TV?
No, maybe i dont want tv. 🙁
But. Es tv 😮
I rarely watch TV
Its the show that replaced smash
Some guys profile message was “Misty is Hot” LOL xD
es not me.
mine is “may is hot”
Lol I seen one that had “NO GAYE NICKS”
Wow darkrai from Pmd is really disturbing, he attempts to destroy the world,kill the main character, 0_______0 darkrai= psychopath
do you not mean dusknoir??
lol
did you ever visit dark crater?
um no… so i didnt finish the game… noooooo… 🙁
nope, if you completed the after game with darkrai and cresselia plot , wait can i spoil the game?
i know what happens lol XD pmd be my jam. but both darkrai AND dusknoir did the same.
SPOILERS IF YOU DIDNT FINISH GAME DONT READ
true, but darkrai really had anger problems to try and make both dialga and palkia destroy the main characters
so basically rise of darkrai?
Im so suprised the evil looking pokemon does evil stuff
yep yet everybody claimed he was a “good guy” -___-
My first capture
A SKARMORY!
thanks for the nidoran ShinyNoivern 🙂 I’m using it to try and hatch an IV bred shiny one. First egg in and I already hatched a Timid HA Perfect one (non shiny) 31/X/31/31/31/31
I cant type.xD using keyboards in the dark ftw.
that was a while ago, but you’re welcome. Good luck IV Masuda breeding
Yeah I was going through my PC trying to find good IV pokes to breed with my ditto and stumbled upon your nidoran that you blessed me with lol. Thanks again.
Nidorans are a pain to breed xD
yeah since it’s two different pokes hatching from an egg I bet it’ll be a while before I find a shiny :/
Shiny? No. Female. q.q the feels.
I was texting for 4 hours straight. There goes some drastic Super Mario 3D World gameplay time.
I don’t have friends
all my friends are dead
I killed all of my friends
Finally! Finished The Narritive of Fredrick Douglas!
The only thing I hate about this rom
is how slow the gameplay is
fgo into the settings and speed the rom up
Anyone want a porygon? I have 4 spares

I do!!!
Do they have Trace? What nature?
Random natures. Some have trace.

Has anybody ever played the original Pmd red or blue rescue team with Xatu and team Meanies?
YES

you should do the after game, it gfets really interesting ……..
100 floor dungeons are too long
no not those, there are plot twist with dungeons only 40floors
you mean the entei and friends one?
nope i mean murky cave, where they reveal who was the boy who became a pokemon after ninetails
ughhhhhhhhhhh………………
once i beat the celebi dungeon I called it quits
did you do murky cave?
I cant remember i just know pokemon and rougelikes dont mix well
well lets just say murky cave reveals a plot twist and solves a mystery
In all honesty I hated that game even though it was so addicting
0______0 how does one hate mystery dungeon
too many annoying things about it
Hunger
cheap moves
annoying recruit system
100 floor dungeons
but i really liked the story
and music
the gengar one and where you find out the truth?
Yes.
Did anybody else skip pokemon mystery dungeon’s post games not knowing there was one?
which post game?
both red/blue and the explorers
Nope :p
i never did but some people dont know about darkrai,or murky cave from the originals
ShinyNoivern for one of the Porygon’s ill trade ya a 5IV Scizor (adamant/max evd)
Does anybody have a 5iv+ male pokemon in the field group that I can borrow?
preferably missing Sp. Atk
I might 😛 hold on
Is nidoking field?
yes
If skiddo doesn’t have any, i’ll loan you my nidoking

I’ll be getting this back later right???
Yes at the latest I’ll give it back tomorrow 🙂
Ok thanks! 😀
I had PMD Blue 2 years before I even got my DS… it was my most anticipated game and its still one of my favs
i still have mine, plus i got one on my emulatorwith cheats such as no hunger all items 😀 with those it was a breeze
lol. i faced the hardships of hunger and my 6 year old brain was somehow able to complete the game
if jirachi wins the give away we should get it in the egg from the movie.
dont think thats possible… maybe if thr coding allows it
the manaphy egg happened.
why can this?
and aura sphere riolu happend
Anyone FC swap?
@heavymetallamb:disqus
They’re not iv bred xD
that’s completely fine. I still needed one lol
Okay :3 Trace or download?
uhmm…. hmm… I’ll take download
Got it. Thanks for the Scizor!
Yep thanks for pory! :
Are there any left?
Yes. 3 left
Can I get one? IV bred Froakie with Protean good?

Sure. Friend code?
Flashcards are a gift and a curse :i
i blame them for my 2 ds lites not working one of them was the D/P Black DS Lite
really, with an r4i my 3ds worked perfectly
lol.
yep r4 was the best for me, only thing was that it felt wrong to have
Lol you guys want Porygon?
I have one.
Sorry.
I’m giving em out xD
Yeah I noticed.
Why is it when I distribute the same pokemon you distribute later on, people go to you?
Weird.
I don’t know. If you want an IV bred cottonee tell me, cause i’m prolly giving those out next
You gave me one I think.
Or was that a normal one?
Not sure. The ones right now have Prankster and 4 IVs i think with Timid nature.
Does anyone think that XY will get sequels like BW?
either sequels or DLC updates.
I think sequels because of the Hex Maniac saying You’re not the one or something like that in Lumiose, similar to how the Lass suddenly disappeared on the what ever bridge it was in BW without an explanation about her 😛
then in bw2 its explained
which is why I think sequels 😛
so true
refresh for pic
about to reach the 80 mark . . . .whoop-de-doo. 🙁
can I haz one please?
Yeah sure. . . its a cleffa and its missing sp.atk. I got about 60 now. Gimme a couple mins, ok?
Me two please?
Of course! 🙂
Yay! *withdraws Toarkoal from GTS*
70+ Furfrous
No shiny
it can take up to 900 for one shiny
5 – furfrous. Perfect on 5th egg. 😉
honestly 70 isn’t that much…
Try 300+ Espurrs with no shiny. My first ever Masuda attempt.
