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!
<3 PJ

Hopefully pokebank comes out this weekend since its “gone” from eshop
If you look up “pokemon” on the eshop pokebank will be listed
Probably its a placeholder
wasnt it a placeholder before?
idk , from a jungler i heard that you cant access the trailers or something. Also when you go under pokemon x and y it wasnt there anymore
Ooh! #stayinguptill2
yep thats my plan breeding, hunting to pass time
My plan is to pester people here into helping me with the pokedex.
Anyone care to Join SkiddBury
There’s actually a person with the account PhantumpDownvoter. That’s awesome. XD

Well it’s already established that you’re awesome…
that what caused the problems that day
what type of blog does PJ use?
Bye guys see you tomorrow 😀
Uh bai bai
Someone on showdown named “thewhiterapist” asked me how old I was thro PM. I’m scared.
just ignore and deny
I did. I’m super careful to never reveal my age here or anyhting.
i agree never know whats out there
Can I have that Excadrill now PLZ?
tell him SHUT UP
say ur 67 and loving it
I’m sorry.
its alright…
I feel as if I’m being innapropriate. . .
nowhere near how bad it was before (star bits…)
What happened to Star Bits?
scroll down… IF YOU DARE
Rule 34. Pokephilia Gross.
I considered releasing my goodra…
for what?
anyone know what platform did pokejungle use for there blog
WordPress.org
One of the things i like about Retry Level, no disqus.
Still no episode 12 with english subs…
i started a website…. trying not to compete though… doing it for fun
@MasterSneasle:disqus Sorry I forgot! I’m catching one right now!
GG Earthen! What do you think?
What just happened? The pokemon broke free of a critical capture? What the heck?
The Adamant Dragonite holding a Dragon Fang broke out of a CC in Black
And I just got another c.c. and it did catch it. . .

there is a chance
for those who say in eshop when you search pokebank it pops up, it did it and have 1 question, WHERE ARE THE TRAILERS?!
same question I asked. the trailers were there a few days ago.
its probably like a placeholder so the pokebank icon and place in eshop doesn t get deleted
Non Existent.
Apparently, Either Darkrai, Jirachi, Manaphy, or Victini will be distributed to promote the new Cocoon of Destruction movie. Which is up to vote. I wish the event would come to other countries when the movie releases.
I vote all… i want them all
Manaphy is eh. I would want Dakrai the most out of all of the options. Jirachi and Victini are adorable.
Jirachi will win.
If it does, People can wish for Hoenn remakes ;D xD
Manaphy please!
Over Darkrai D:
I already have a Darkrai, and the Manaphy I have is the Ranger one at lv. 1 that I refuse to train because it’s untouched. Ugh.
Jirachi. luv dat wish maker <333
@DaMontyMole:disqus Ready, just send the request! I’m andrew!
What happened to Star Bits? O.o
Idk he was here a little bit ago.
Ah. Just noticed. I thought he got banned or something cause Evan said he posts inappropriate things. Which he does.
So Star Bits gets banned but NOT V***SONIC?
No, neither of them are banned.
OH, you *thought* he got banned. Sorry.
Excuse me, but what did volt do? I wasnt here.
I’d tell you but i’m done with Vs already.
Xatu shall tell you
I’m done with that guy. He’s a waste of humanity.
Well, i tried reasoning with him i even made a reply to him which was quite lengthy after he insited that he’s not sorry for us being mean to him. I pretty much just told him that i’m done with him. There’s just no reasoning with him, he replied to a post that i made today with “DIE BANKAI”
I dont like peps being banned
I’m going to respond to any comment he leaves with “I love you <3". I urge everybody to do the same. XD
I shall do the same but hopefully he doesn’t make an insulting comment calling you an F—-t. I’m sure some people here would get pissed off. I in fact, do not like that word.
Why isn’t he banned yet? That’s the important question. We have enough evidence to show that he is participating in verbal abuse over the Internet, and the least we can do is eliminate him from PokeJungle. We could go even more intense with punishment if we wanted to, but I am in no mood for that. That “thing” is just not worth our time. Either we ignore it, or we take action. We can’t stay in the null void, or the Jungle will focus all of its attention on this one person. Action must be taken as soon as possible.
^He follows us. JSYK. He’ll probably read this.
I think we should just leave this up to the mods.
As you just stated, it’s not worth our time to focus all our attention on One person.
as a member of my Youth Group GSA, so do I… A LOT
I’m against all the hate here. I’m mad. I know how it feels to come here and people hate you. I know how it feels.
I don’t think i remember you from when you were Itsme.
But i’m sure you didn’t insult everyone in the community by saying they have half a brain. I always try to be nice to people but it just doesn’t work with some.
‘Course I didnt. And I’m sick of his insults, but still I’m sick of it. OMG WERE NOT HAVING A SNOW DAY TODAY!!! LET’S BLAME ****!! (nothing against you, but cut it out all of you.)
Can you go to chat and Pm me?
I talked some sense into him while you were gone
But I wanted the dark meat!
You were gone…
I ate him
LICKI MINAJ I’m ready
wait u got proof?
Of?
I was just wondering what happened to him cause Evan said something about him posting inappropriate things. So i thought he got banned or something as i hadn’t seen him on here in a while. He’s not banned though.
oh ok false rumors
@ShinyXatu
I hve ur prsnt
Yay! You’re missing a couple letters in that comment though.
