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!

With pokebank gone from the eshop,i ask this question,
when do you think it will be put back up and released/
?.
Soon well be seeing ‘POKEBANK COMFIRMED’
PERKERBERNK CUNFURMED!!
lets hope that does not become a thing…
after Half Life 3
In other words, never.
So never.
2014…
56799
the number 715 is haunting me, nobody was or is willing to let me borrow keldeo meloetta or manaphy >:( im not a scammer yet everyone on different sites dont trust me
Wait, are heal bell and aromatherapy the same?
Yup
Heal Bell is sound based so stopped by Soundproof….otherwise yeh
Still offering Arceus rentals! Any takers?
Ok people are replying to my messages….I am waiting
i am having some insane luck today….breeding a 4IV Electike with a 2IV Ditto….and the third egg harbours me a 5IV Electrike
Ok guys stop….If you are going to reply to my messages just REPLY
? what do you mean?
Below…4 people are replying to this message…it has said that for 5 minutes now
Is there any defense boosting item?
just defense or special defense?
mostly def, but anything helps.
assault vest raises special defense but you can oly use attacking moves
Only Eviolite for not fully evolved Pokemon, and Assault Vest for Special defence, but prohibits use of status of move.
can’t think of any others
So blissey or eviolite chansey?
Blissey for lefties recovery, but CHansey for all around bulk. Most people choose chansey, as it always runs softboiled
ok, thanks
No problem!
Both are very viable…
Kee berry raises def when hit with a physical attack. thats it physically for fully evolved pokes
Remind me never to search for Machoke fanart again…
Cho Aikini…
rule 34 star bits, beware of rule 34…
I’m normally the person who posts borderline rule 34 images but a Machoke getting milked is just plain sickening.
………………………………………excuse me, Im going to gorge my eyeballs out now,,,
That’s all you saw? You must be ssensitive to the fanart. IF you think Machoke is bad, just wait till you see da Goodra
But mr.mime was the one milking.
Dat aint nothing. Wait till you see Goodra on Shauna
…I give up on everything
And the Pangoro on Ursaring, no females involved. And the Pokemon Amie, and the vore, oh the vore
*prepping airstrike on any of the #chan sites (extra payload to 4chan)*
but dat aint all tho. if you can imagine it, it likely exists.
side campaign to the netherealms of devianart…
OH…GAWD… THOSE SICK MUTHARFUCKARS
Does anybody have any bank legendaries I can have???
Does anyone want a Zorua?
Anybody got a meloetta keldeo, or manaphy(not phione) i can borrow
Sorry! 🙁

What is a Phaser?
A pokemon that forces the opponent out…with moves like whirlwind, roar, dragon tail, circle throw

http://th05.deviantart.net/fs71/200H/i/2013/324/2/3/goodra_by_kmart0614-d6uxo2c.png
I’m not gonna look… What is it?
A wet Goodra
Gooey ability
Wet or “Wet”?
Look and Find out
I am preparing to be traumatized.
It aint bad. Think of fluffy..er, gooey clouds
its devianart… take your guess…
Why are you looking at the baby stuff again? This is like a picture of pikachu cuddling a pillow compared to what i have seen
KILL IT WITH EVERYTHING POLIO AIDS EBOLA ! DIRECTION I DONT CARE
Why wait on diseases
I’d just use a Hammer and bludgeon it
I dont wanna even touch it… with anything…
You’d get close to it? I’d call my Arceus to murder it with hyper Beam. Or I’d use a machine gun.
THANK YOU JIRO YOU ARE OF THE BEST PERSON IN THIS PLACE btw that shellos has 4IVs
Thanks! Hope the ditto is useful to you!
I’ll be ready soon! 1 more battle!
Goodmorning 😀
You won’t believe what happened today.
Hey Jordin 😀 How’d the test go? Let’s take this to chat xD
Take your time!
TEAM MEMBER NUMBER ! OF MY FAIRY GYM TEAM IS COMPLETE!
team memebr 0 of my ultimate team is finished
Are you in the league (I really hope you know)
i was a gym leader but resigned
So you are going to challenge it?
yep im aiming to become cham;ion or earn a batte frontier spot. I just am not a fan of a mono type team. it feels limited
Well if you challenge i wish you luck
I will not go easy on you.
If you win you earn the Pixie badge (Copyrighted)
i wont XD
>:D in all seriousness you will lose to me!
I think i’m going to log
I gots a sickly headache
Hopefully I can find a 5-6 Male Rhyhorn with Rock Head
@Chaos, you were interested in one of the dittos? what can you offer for it?
What kind?
Timid, 6IV, Imposter, Lv 100, Ev’d, Destiny know, nothing much
0__________O i have a 6iv ditto too 😀
What ditto? Good ivs? If so I’m interested.
Look below for deatils
What do you want for it? Name your price.
hue, you dont want me to do that. you must offer, becuase i dont really want anything in specific
I don’t really have much to be honest… 4 IV Ghastly, 4IV Electrike
Hmm. How about i clone it again and give it to you for free? Can you wait a while, like an hour maybe? Will that be good?
You could do…sorry I have nothing better to offer at the moment. I won’t be here in an hour, can we do it tomorrow some time?
Sure, just remind me
Cool…thanks again
Froslass set? I want Blizzard on, and Destiny Bond.
Hmm. Snow Cloak definetely. Try Spikes, Blizzard, Shadow Ball, and Destiny Bond holding a focus sash
😀 we think alike
Yes we do
Sash
Blizzard
Destiny Bond
Spikes
Shadow Ball
I have a Klefki also. Should I scrap it, since Froslass is going to know spikes?
You could use dual screen klefki
Which is…
Light Clay
Light Screen
Reflect
Thunder Wave/Toxic
Foul play
How would I use it?
? What do you mean?
Battle scenario where I would use it. What are it’s strong points?
Maybe at like the near of the battle
And use thunder wave on those sweepers
You could use dual screens, or the signature Sub Swag set.
Ok that’s enough fan art for today. My mind feels like it’s been peeled like a potato.
It isnt over until you go directly to rule thirty four and look up pokemon.
Does the phrase “Keep it to yourself” ever occur to you?
Not really no.
you made me consider releasing my goodra…
how bout FOR-GODDAMN EVER
I was just as disturbed as you were. Apparently I have to look at the actual rule 34 goodra fanart but that is NOT happening.
Stupid mawile and excadrill stop apearing!
I want an Excadrill.
Ok, gimme a little bit Ok?
Okay!
HEY!!! Mawile isn’t stupid!!! But I know your pain. Trying to find the rare third pokémon in the safari, but you get nothing but the first two.
