PJM Writing Contest Winners & Art Contest Clear Up

by

Sorry for the slight delay, as I got struck with a severe headache and a bad temper. But I persevered to bring you the ultimate winners of the PJM 2014 Writing Contest!

I received 10 round two submissions, all of them which were excellent! You all did a great job guys. Choosing two winners proved to be a daunting task. But the big winner was a clear-cut case for me, as I absolutely loved his history of Pokémon before Pokémon even existed. So I hereby declare the following Pokéjungler as the absolute first winner of the PJM Writing Contest:

James Hurst with Capsule Monsters: The Pre-evolution to Pokémon

The second winner was a though choice between four favorites, but I ultimately went with:

ShinyXatu with MissingNo.: The Acceptable Glitch

Both will get contacted for further details regarding fine tuning their articles within the course of next week. And of course, we can’t forget to mention their prize. Each will get a free printed copy of the magazine, including free shipping :). The others will get the chance of seeing their articles up on the site, starting as early as next week. I’ll contact them if that’ll be the case.

While I get back to work off-screen, I would like to address the confusion that arose around the Art Contest. This is most likely my own fault as I was extremely exhausted writing the introduction article and seemingly forgot to write a general description.

The purpose of the Art Contest is to receive high quality (in technical terms) digital art commonly found on sites such as Deviantart. The winner will see his article taking up one whole page, so it has to be something suitable to be blown up so much. It will be very much like a big ad in a magazine, but without the advertising. For technical details, click here. If you still have some questions about the contest, be sure to hit me up with an email (found in the article) or just shoot it at me in the comments.

I’m off for now, my head still pounds with the force of one million suns. Happy commenting, and don’t be afraid of being banned quickly, the Headmaster wasn’t trying to intimidate anyone :).

  26. Pokejungle War Journal Entry 3

    So these last two days have been brutal.
    We lost many of our family members.
    They include many very close junglers.
    And everyone fled to the chat in fear of PJ and his mods.

    On the second day, we lost more junglers.
    Xatu went insane, and many others suffered depression.
    We also gained 2 new members on day 2.

    Day 3.
    The war is starting to end.
    People have been returning, such as Slippery. Everyone has been more calm, but we still suffered many losses.
    Hopefully this war ends soon.

  27. Here’s a small preview of who the mysterious James Hurst is. I thought I should give you guys something to read, and I hope Disqus works along. From round one:

    The Mega Discovery in Pokémon Evolution Rocks the Kalos Region

    By Pansy Alexa

    Evolution; a change all life goes through. It is natural, common and in-turn allows us all to confront life in a more confident and capable manner. However, a spotlight has been cast upon a more uncommon and mysterious method of evolution; a way few know about and only recently has come to the public eye: Mega Evolution.

    Now, those familiar with the Kalos region may know the basics regarding Mega Evolution. It affects only a small selection of Pokémon, allows fully evolved Pokémon or even those without an evolution a chance to attain a higher level of power, and is an unusual type of evolution which requires many conditions.

    It is not only the appearance of these special Pokémon that alters during the transformation; abilities, stats and even the type itself can change once the Mega Evolution process begins. What makes this evolution so unique, however, is the fact that it enables a Pokémon to transform only temporarily into this greater evolution state, only to revert back after battle or upon fainting.

    Professor Augustine Sycamore has been studying the wonders of Mega Evolution for a large portion of his life.

    Once a student dedicating his time to study at the Tower of Mastery in Shalour City, a major landmark not only for Kalos but for the history of Mega Evolution, Professor Sycamore found his pursuits were best met in the world of science and research.

    When asked regarding his research and discoveries into Pokémon Mega Evolution, Professor Sycamore said: “There are numerous Pokémon that are able to Mega Evolve: Mawile, Alakazam, Blaziken, and some of which, such as Charizard, have two Mega Evolution forms. The reason why and how this is the case is currently unknown, though it is clear there are two distinct stones for Charizard, each with different energy outputs and appearances.”

    In order for a Pokémon to Mega Evolve they must be holding the Mega Stone that corresponds with that particular Pokémon; for example, Lucario, the first Pokémon known to have Mega Evolved, would have to hold a Lucarionite to enable it to become Mega Lucario.

    Another requirement to fulfil Mega Evolution in a Pokémon is to be in possession of a Key Stone which is found within certain items such as rings, dubbed Mega Rings, and other accessories. The two stones resonate with one another and in turn provides the energy, much like the ones found in Fire or Leaf Stones, and results in an Evolution. There is one final condition however to achieve Mega Evolution and that is to possess a deep bond of trust between the Pokémon and trainer.

    Professor Sycamore continues to say: “I have contacted Professor Oak on the issue and the theory on Mega Evolution being linked to the bonds between Pokémon and humans has some shred of truth to it. The stones used have a link to most other evolution stones, though there is still a shroud of mystery we have yet to unveil. That is why my dedicated team and I are working hard to fully understand this phenomenon.

    “Why do these and only these Pokémon only evolve further? Some of those capable of evolving already have a number of evolved forms, and the Mega Stones themselves are also a rather perplexing conundrum. We are close to a breakthrough regarding the energy readings these stones emit but apart from that I am to rely on my new assistants, who are currently travelling through Kalos on their own journeys of discovery and wonder, to help further my knowledge and study into the region’s biggest Pokémon mystery.”

    Gurkinn, the Mega Evolution Guru of the Tower of Mastery which is said to hold many secrets regarding Mega Evolution, has said: “There is a lot more we do not know regarding this form of transformation, and it is theorised that there may be more Pokémon actually capable of it.”

    Professor Augustine Sycamore, in response to his current studies, will be giving a lecture on the subject of Mega Evolution Saturday 12th October at the Hotel Richissime in Lumiose City, Kalos.

  491. New concept for Pokemon X2 and Y2. NO HATE PLZ 😀

    Airplane and Train System (ideas are still Work In Progress)

    Lumiose City will be featuring the new LumiAir! Lumiose International Airport will be implemented ingame replacing the Lumiose Station, and will allow players to visit certain locations ingame inaccesible by foot or by train. Purpluff City is one of them, with more to be confirmed. The owner and founder of LIA is none other than Skyla, who makes a cameo appearance coming all the way from Unova to Kalos, and to follow in her family’s footsteps. She is battable, and will be a flight attendant alongside Flying-type Gym Leaders from the past.

    There will be new Train Systems implemented into the game, with ideas still being circulated.

    1. There will be multiple train stations with multiple stops, unlockable as you go.

    2. There will be multiple train stations with a designated stop.

    Passes are still ideas:

    1. Can be bought at ______ Station’s Train Stop

    2. Given to you after the Gym Leader is beaten, or after a designated event if no Gym Leaders are present in that location.

    3. They are collected in a similar fashion to Mega Stones in X and Y.

    You might wonder what’s so fun and realistic about Train Stations and an Airport…

    – Real time. Let’s say there was a train/airplane station from Crashnaw to the Battle Frontier, real world hours would take place. It could be as little as 10 minutes or probably as long as 5 hours, but during that time you can battle trainers, gym leaders, cameo appearances from characters in the past, activities, trading sessions, interactions with other people onboard, etc.

    – There are no cutscenes. It is a straight up flight, like in the real world. If there’s anything I hated about BW2’s Airport, and X and Y’s train and Lumi Cab, it’s the cuts. Those are so boring! You get on, pay a fee, and 3 seconds later you arrive, with a black screen (and no entertainment) before your stop. With real time, similar to the Royal Unova, you are able to get a much better and realistic experience.

    – And if you don’t like real time, you are able to change the settings. If you want to seriously grind your Pokemon, you can set the flight option to Very Slow, and take 5 real world hours to arrive to your designated location. Or you can go Very Fast if you just don’t care, and be there in 10-20 real world minutes, tops.

    – There can be twists! There could be a snowstorm, a thunderstorm, a hurricane, etc. and will leave you on a random island or something.

        • I can clone with he-who-must-not-be-named. And I don’t clone for people to have my shinies, especially ones that I hatched personally. I cloned them to have on my Y journey playthrough. And I cloned Sandshrew to give to earthen cause I know he likes ground Pokes.

            (Let’s petition for our cameo appearance in Jungle Jade as Ace Shiny Trainers!) *cough*

          • haha.. I peep your shade there bud.. you can disagree with what I clone for, and disregard me as an ace shiny trainer – but i’m more of an ace shiny trainer than you’ll ever be. 180 Pentagon Shinies, when will you?

          • Hey, you started before I did. Sure it took longer for me than it has for you, but my point was not meant to sound competitive. I just dislike cloning shinies, that’s all. I never once said you can’t do it, it’s just that you shouldn’t because that defeats the purpose of shiny.

          • I started it??? LOL are you serious dude? You blatantly tried to be McShady by “coughing” after Ace Shiny Trainer just cause I can now clone them. Did i ever once say I clone them to trade to ppl to earn better trades? Did I say I cloned them for this, that? No – I said I clone them for personal use, to play with on in-game for Y. And you have a problem with that. It doesn’t defeat the purpose of shiny, if anything – it makes my hard work pay off that much better because I spent all that time working on a palette swap when I now have 2 of them for personal use. Bye igneous – stay pressed.

          • ???
            I said you started breeding for shiny BEFORE I did. I was still training up Pokemon. That coughing was suppose to be sarcastic because you WERE the one who suggested the Ace Shiny Trainer thing in the FAN GAME as cameo appearance. I think you seriously misunderstood what I was trying to say.

  750. Evil team idea: Team Cobalt
    (Note: I haven’t really read up on the fan game towns/places/available pokemon, feel free to revise)

    Team Cobalt is a group of businessmen and women who are interested in making money and monopolizing Pokeball manufacture. Their favorite Pokemon are steel types particularly Klinklang line, electric types particularly the Eelektross line, dark types particularly the Weavile evos, Aerodactyl, Whimsur evos, Magmortar line, and Rhydon line. They have a unique Pokeball called Cobalt Ball, which the player can unlock (well actually, unlock a more reasonable price) and purchase by the end of the game.

    You first meet them selling Cobalt balls at a new shop in your third town, for a ridiculous price. Of course, their leader comes by and tells you how good they are. It’s still too expensive of course.

    Over the course of the journey, their business practices become more and more ruthless. Plots can include:
    1. Sabotaging a rival Pokeball factory (just like Laverre Town in X&Y)
    2. Threatening marts and Pokemon centers (you fend them off with a Pokemon battle)
    3. Harassing random Pokemon trainers to buy their Cobalt Balls. (“It’s overpriced!”)
    4. Taking a mayor hostage and forcing him to approve a new factory (“I can’t bulldoze the Pokemon center!”)
    5. Re-routing power to a factory of theirs (causing a blackout)

    In the final town, the leader has had it and actually succeeds in destroying a couple of buildings including a Pokemon center with either his signature pokemon (maybe Mega Aggron?) or a legendary pokemon, just as the construction crew comes in. The final town’s Pokemon center will be in a run-down building in the corner. The plan is also visible in other towns in the following ways (the prof. tells you to stop them before they get far of course):
    1. A skate park is bulldozed by Team Cobalt members
    2. A fountain is being targeted for demolition as well
    3. Some historical buildings
    4. One of the gyms

    Once you do this, Team Cobalt’s fortress becomes open and you storm it and defeat the leader, and then the regional professor gives him a verbal beatdown. He changes for the better, and agrees to help rebuild. Everything back to normal, and Cobalt Balls are now available in the Pokemon Centers and marts for a more reasonable price. Then you go ahead to the Elite 4/Champion.

  753. My plot for X2 and Y2 has changed:
    Team Flare has discovered the Cocoon of Xerneas and Yveltal, and in tandem with Evil Professor Sycamore, plans to emit Mega Stone Radiation, turning them both into Destructive Pokemon.
    Your job, with the help of the three world-class scientists Serena, Colress and Xerosic, is to stop Team Flare from discovering the cocoons and wreaking havoc across the Kalos Region.

    Postgame:
    Kalos has been destroyed, bit by bit, by Xerneas and Yveltal, thanks to Team Flare. They have fled to the nearby (insert new region name here) Region, to plot new plans for destruction. As their purpose was to destroy the Region, and potentially all people and Pokemon, the player, Serena, Colress and Xerosic still remain alive, and aware of Flare’s departure.
    In the postgame, you’ll be heading to another region in search of Team Flare, and put them to justice.

    I’d like people to comment for region names they’d like to see in X2 and Y2 alongside Kalos. Please be serious when making names. I’ll give it 25 minutes before I make a poll. Thanks for all responses!

I don’t need anyone keep telling me “its bad dont do this dont do that..” like plz argh

          • I was just speaking my opinion, you don’t need to get so hostile. Beside, what can I do if people clone? Absolutely nothing. You made me sound like a cheap person who would do anything to get a leaked legendary, which is why I was upset at that part.

    • At 30 Votes or when one outnumbers another by enough to say it’s a winner.

      Ex
      Derp1 gets 18 votes
      Derp2 gets 4 Votes.

      Derp1 gets 12 votes
      Derp2 gets 10 votes
      Derp3 gets 2 votes

      The cap is 30. If Derp 2 got the rest of the votes, Derp 1 would still win because it outnumbered it.

      for the second example: Derp three would not win because the votes are at 24/30 and if the remaining 6 votes with to Derp 3 it wouldn’t make a difference. Derp 1 and Derp2 would be close and continue until they hit 30 votes when all votes are added or one outnumbers the other.
