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!

WHY MUST EVERY RHYHORN I HATCH HAVE LIGHTNING ROD!!!
It’ll be killer in doubles w/ lightning rod at least. Stop all dem dischargers
Unless I’m using a Gyrados or Mantine I have zero use for it
It’ll help with Kabutops, Barbaracle, and other Water/Flying Rocks.
cuz you’re attractive..
hurhurhur
QUICK
SOMEBODY USE THUNDER ON THE HORN!!!
That reminds me, Why can’t Rhyperior learn Wild Charge?
It only has Take Down and Double Edge for it’s HA Reckless
If I had a Rhyperior with Wild Charge…..
Head Smash Ryperior for gen 7
@Jiro Uchiha:disqus Ready! 🙂
Jiro I’m ready!!! 😀
Me 2.
Let me trade w/ TC first
ok!
Hey, could I ask you for a cloned ditto just like the one you gave Ithsme? I understand if you cant, but it would be a really great help, and i would appreciate it immensely.
Aight, i accepted the request
First Jordin’s, then I’ll trade you the Espeon 😀
Okay! Is the Espeon a keeper, or a cloner, because It’ll take a while to clone, and i dont wanna keep ithsme waiting too long
A cloner 🙂 Take your time, no rush!
Wait, can I trade real quick before you clone it? Or does it happen during the trade?
i need two dses, so we can trade first
Okay. THanks! Ill make sure to get the original back to you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH JIRO! :’)
No problem
Stupid downvoter. . .
THIS IS EXCITING. This is very cool. I approve.
DO NOT SCROLL DOWN
Will it mean less energy on PJN? I so, I don’t approve.
oh… “its” back…
OBJECTION!
(to the downvoter)
he’s downvoting at a rather “sonic” speed…
Volt, is this you?
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
10,000 “Volts” will take a lot out of ya!
Oh boy. PhantumpDownvoter is back.
Greattt
No comment
Govnah, is it you?
You commented by saying no comment! MUHAHAHAHA!!!
If the downvoter evolves, it will become a TrevenantUpvoter.
….
Okay listen. They are just downvotes. It IS NOT the end of the world. Can we all just please ignore them? Why feed the troll? And also, why are you all assuming it’s VoltSonic? It could be anyone else.
But… nobody said it was VoltSonic…
Correction two people
Even you Jordin. Lol jk. I dont even pay attention to the votes honestly
I’m freaking sick of all the hate towards volt.
Me too. The guy can’t even come on here without certain people fighting him off.
I guess we went at him a bit too hard…
How would it feel to not be able to visit and comment on here without people accusing you of harassment and all that? It’s not such a good feeling.
This “PhantumpDownvoter” could be ANYONE. Innocent until proven guilty.
The sad thing is I know how he feels. . . how that feels. Remember me? Itsme?
what happened?
I realize he gets off topic, but dont we all? I’m careful to be super nice to him when hes here. PJN shouldn’t be a place where someone doesnt feel welcome. I know from experience, when I was a guest.
Well said…
I pay more attention to upvotes than downvotes.
JIRO YOU ARE THE BOMB THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
BOMB??? WHERE!?
Just kidding BTW xD
No prblem, glad to help
you think you get all the ladies?
king dedede says otherwise.

PENGUIN PLAYA
Are they bringing back everyone from Brawl?
I heard they were having a shortened character list this year
NNNOOOOO!!!!!
Every game is trying to be simpler
so what the fighters are going to be more polished and balance plus there would be a lack of palette swaps
That is good
Brawl players were not balanced at all
META KNIGHT!
i think they will cut metaknight. 2 op 4 me.
He just has too many advantages!
you could kill someone just by pressing “a” numerous times.
hes definitely not coming back
King Dedede is about to give them the D D D
Does anyone have a Vullaby to trade?
I gave mine away when I found out I couldn’t name it Asshole.
Did you know that when you use a Kee BErry and Natural gift, the Kee berry makes it a 100BP physical Fairy move? Das Pimp
I thought it was 80 BP
The second fairy type move
How dangerous would Rhyperior be if its HA was Sap Sipper?
He’d be Ubers almost. The solarbeams boosting him. Too op
A good amount
*uses water gun*
Bring it on the ever common spore/leech seed….and Boom
Or water absorb
That makes no sense
It can barely use Reckless and since Rhinos are herbivores
Either Sap Sipper or Sheer Force

Jiro I have the same exact ditto you have, must be super cloned from serebii’s chat lol
-____- cloning strikes again
Really? THat’s surprising.
yep, timid, japanese, lvl 100, impostor, 6 ivs.
damn. At least i can clone it and make people here happy. I got mine from Wt. Howd you get yours?
serebii’s chat room
Never been there. Dont like the Serebii community. Pokejungle’s better
of course it is lol. serebii’s chat room is full of snobs, but if you go there on the late night you can find some good trades.
Sounds interesting. Maybe I’ll check it out later.
can someone clone one for me?
Ill see if i have an extra one. let me clone TC’s Espeon for myself and then ill get ditto cloning again
alright take your time 🙂
O RLY!?
Yes. Yes it is.
do you have meloetta keldeo or manaphy? im sorry if its spamming
I told you 3 times now that I didn’t.
This is Just a test dont take this seriously as it for my friend still…
STOP DOWNVOTING US SERIOUSLY YOU ARE JUST SO MEAN!!!
JUST KIDDING lol you almost flipped 😛
I am bad
i read coments from bottom to top
You troll
gotta love the PhantumpDownvoter
>:(
Jiro is the ditto Japanese?
Yus
What should I breed first?
Turtwig
ohmygod yes.
did you get the 6iv ditto ?! 😀
Sure did! Jiro is cloning them. They’re timid and japenese too! 😀
anyone got a meloetta keldeo or manaphy?
It’s times like these that make me wonder why there even is a dislike button. Why cant there just be flagging?
Because there would be Flagging trolls That is no bueno
there already is flagging. I just think that disliking shouldn’t exist! Like its just There
I think so to if you do not like what someone said don’t dislike them because they seems… childish (not the right word)
And if someone said something hurtful then flag them
You only flag if there is offensive comments. False flagging VoltSonic is not the answer.
I never flag
or spam. You can flag spam.
I’m not talking about those hurtful comments he made BTW.
seems like that i cant go into edit profile
with the dex done and arceus obtain, its time for the journey to collect all plates 😀
would you take a shiny goldeen for that arceus? lol
jk lol
4 of them?
I have 3 left now, I gave one to Leloucha cause he was low on shinies.
i dont have a single shiny yet but i wanna find it myself
thats how I am. I like my shinies to have my own trainer ID
it feels wrong to clim other peoples shinies as your own
claim
sorry 🙁 maybe after poke bank comes ill give you my spare 😀
lol nah i’m good.. when pokebank comes i’ll have my 6IV Arceus 🙂
And ill have my original and shiny(yes it has hacked)
Happy Friday guys! 😀 Hope everyone is having a good day. Does anyone want to battle? Constructing a new team and i need to test it out, any takers?
Plus, What’s this Ditto talk about?
jiro is cloning 6iv dittos i believe
Really? Is he giving them away to everyone?
But of course.
Could I have one Jiro?
I need a break from breeding
Ok! Let me get ready and Ill send the invite!
@jirouchiha:disqus may i also have a 6iv ditto? i have one but its english 🙁
Sure. Give me a while to clone them all.
Sure i can take one tomorrow
Alright, just remind me tomorrow that you wanted one.
ok thanks 😀
Ditto pls
goomy plz
Suppose the ditto is cloned…
Can I have one please?
Fo sho.
Are you giving them away to everyone?
Basically everyone, yeah
Yay
