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!

I wonder if the game would allow me to nickname a Girafarig “Buttsnack”
Would anyone else like a battle?
sure
Ok…give me a second to do this trade with ShinyNoivern
Ok, let’s rumble
http://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/784/6814/original.jpg
Some guy posted this earlier. The Shuckle this seems strange.
I don’t want this to happen…
ehh fake
Wow the energy trio’s abilities are amaaaazing
you mean hoopa,volcanion, and diancie or zekrom,reshiram, and kyurem?
zek/resh/kyure aren’t the energy trio. Volcanion & friends are.
i know they are the tao trio, but thy are sometimes called the energy trio
Over glorified Mold Breakers….and Pressure
I don’t see those increasing. Most people don’t even know what Mold Breaker does lol.
But Diancie…. I NEED IT NOW. that ability >>> well pretty much all of them have great abilities. Finally exclusive abilties that no other pokes have
I actually thought you were talking about Zekrom/Reshiram/Kyurem.
I wouldn’t call those guys a trio yet, because we don’t know if they are related in any way…But yeh, energy trio does make sense
thats what i thought 😀
What is Diancie’s ability?
Look above 🙂
What are the abilities?
– Hoopa’s ability is Impractical, which makes opponents moves miss every other turn. This ability can be bypassed by Mold Breaker, Teravolt, and Turboblaze.
– Volcanion’s ability is supposedly Steamed-Up, which gives an extra 40% boost to its STAB moves.
– Diancie’s ability is Shining Jewel, which powers up special moves if there are no weather effects in play.
TOO OP
Missing every other turn?? That basically forces you to switch or doing non-damaging move!
Plus hoopas signature move, it will be untouchable
Every Hoopa will probably be running “Protect” as well :/
Source?
Hmmm..sounds interesting…But Steamed Up is just a slightly weaker Adaptability
combined with its signature move, its deadly tho!!
What’s it’s signature move?…seriously where are you getting this from.?
facebook screenshots. I forget the name of its signature move cause I closed out but it’s basically a Hydro Pump that can burn you (and has 100% accuracy)
a stronger scald
or scald on steroids
this!
Woah…if that’s true i predicted something like that.
Yep. Volcanion’s signature move is called Steam Eruption, Diancie’s is called Diamond Storm (a rock type special move), and Hoopa has Hyperspace Hole (psychic). All have 5 PP
Hmm…are these screenshots legit? Any chance that they’ve been faked?
I’m gonna hate Hoopa so much
Protect + Impracticle = OP
= Banned by Smogon.
Meh…Toxic that b****
Hoopa is the definiteion of hell
Dem pesky ghosts! Giratina hates it BTW (it used to be the only ghost legendary).
WAIT U HAVE THEM?
pfft i wished. But apparently Hoopa leaked already, a few people on facebook have been saying they got swept by one by random passersby (japanese)
5 seconds later game bricks
it cant…
yes it can, hacking a pokemon can ruin your game
I was gonna blame Smealum but apparently someone else figured out how to take their 3ds apart and hack it.
i know how…. but i choose not too
did you ever change a japanese 3ds into an english one 😀
i told u.. i dont mess with that sutff
ah i thught you meant just hacking.
hmmm i heard about that game his name is ADUSAM

Damn it
The one chance to test Facade
Flame Orb + Guts + Facade + Stab = GG
but no stab on Mamoswine
I had an empty slot so why not turn the tables when I get burned
what moves have you got on yours. Mine has Earthquake, Ice Shard, Icicle Spear, and Stealth Rocks
Equake
Ishard
Stodge
and Facade
I wonder if anyone has saw what energy trio’s signature moves look like by using Metronome
Wasn’t there a move called Lights of Ruin in the Hotel?
yep I remember reading something about it in the playthrough. I wonder who gets this move !!!
I’m guessing it’s AZ’s Floette.
if so, wouldnt it already be on youtube
true.. I wonder if certain moves are blocked from metronome. Like “Lights of Ruin”
Secret Sword, Relic Song, and Techno Blast were, not sure if they still are. I’m sure these moves are blocked too.
Gamefreak has gone pretty far to cover up their secret tracks
ahh I never knew those were blocked! Makes sense then!!!
Is this what the three secret kalos legendaries are being called now?
Yeah. I forget the explanation behind it though lol. There was a really good one
It’s ok, I can come up with my own theory.
yep they represent Geothermal, and some other 2. I remember a jungler posted something on it
How Hoopa represents energy is beyond me.
probably something to do with the afterlife, since its a ghost/psychic type. Energy of the dead or something lol. I wish I still had that amazing theory on why they were called the energy trio
yep i remembr seeing it too. It was really cool
Cosmic Energy….obviously
AHHHHHHHH total sense!!!! And their is a cosmic looking power plant as well!!
Cosmic and Gamma energy is OP as fuck. Everything will just develop cancer as soon as it’s sent into battle…
bad energy?? 😛
Chances are somebody would have seen them.
misclicks are the bane of my competitive career….
Misclicks and Over Predictions…getting a prediction right however, is the best feeling in the world
but then the attack misses and you die….
Thats the worst, when you predict correctly and miss the damn will-o-wisp
AGAINST POISON HEAL GLISCOR!!!!
Oh God….worst feeling in the world…because you know how close you were to crippling the most annoying Pokemon ever….so close…
happened to me so many times against regi XD
@thegreatcarbinkle:disqus Thanks! 😀
Thanks, the greatcarbinkle. That Cottonee has 5IV as well. 🙂
Thank you Huge Powered Stab Quick Attack with Silk Scarf
Which poke?
guess
I was going to say Mega Pincir, but I’m not sure if it has Huge Power.
mega pinsir has aerialate
It has Aerilate: turns Normal moves into Fly ones
Who else has Huge power other than Azumarril?
but they don;t habe QA or get stab from it
*Likes to dig*
diggersby
Forgot about him
Forget you!
Oo, oo, ooo
I guess the change in my pocket
Wasn’t enough I’m like,
Forget you!
And forget her too!
if you get the reference
Nope, sorry
Forget You by cee lo green
another rabbit probably
I just 3-0 swept a team with my Gliscor. I’m a bad person…
Normally, I would say, “Shame on you”, but it’s your birthday. You can do whatever you want
Hooray! 🙂
true dat
ANIME RELATED:
Does anyone have a link to the most recent episode in eng subs?
@shinylickitung:disqus Get online so i can trade you the absol lol
@Igneous what ability did you want?
I want Justify, please. Thank you so much.
Alright, sending invite :3
Ithsme are you there?
He just left to eat dinner
Just saw the spewpa scatterbug anime episode. Its anime Wario XD
Link me please!
I’ve counted 3 locked doors in Power Plant. Some people say theres 4 but I can’t find a 4th locked door. IMO these 3 doors are concealing the energy trio. We’ll probably get Event Key Items distributed to unlock them like “Power Plant Key #1” etc…
“Lights of Ruin” is probably going to be an event exclusive move given to AZ’s Floette.
sounds good. its like how everybody wondered about the concealed door in canalave for darkrai
good times good times 🙂
Well do or die I always say
GG.
Yep
One day I’ll make KFS
Thank you ShinyNoivern, the Litwick I gave you has 5 IV. 🙂
@thegreatcarbinkle:disqus Thanks!
With everybody wondering about the locked doors in the power plant, rememebr the membership card in canalave?
Or the white rock
I remember both.
both were mysteries that were unlocked through mystery gift so , i woud give it 5 months
What did the white rock do?
with oaks letter, it unlocked flower paridise which held shaymin
Oh… I AR’d both of them.
i r4d the events
DEFENSIVE i was looking for you want a 5IV yamask ith toxic spikes and NP?
Sure. I’m experimenting with different sets so that would be great!

Okay. Hold on.
What do you want in return?
Shiny Saturday at its best *refresh*
