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 :).

This post was brought you by Silph Co., makers of the best Pokémon Capturing Devices out there.

Surprise!!
argh lol GG 🙁
Damn
Unorthodox method. 😀
Everything i do is unorthodox, some even call psychotic!
I sense a Sucker Punch…
does nothing without Huge Power 🙁
Wait, your shiny Mawile doesn’t have that?
I can save the battle! 😀
only Mega Mawile gets that lol… I have Intimidate
Ooh, right. XD
You sacrificed that with Mega Latios. (For nothing.) XD
lol yeah… I didn’t think destiny bond would still be in effect 🙁
Good game. This brightened my day after losing the stylus that I’ve kept for so long.
don’t give up hope yet… I dropped some earphones on the bus before and they were still there when I got back.. could be the case for you
I hope so, thanks. 🙂
That moment where Chaos Groudon is the only living thing in a pokemon movie to stay dead
Umm. Other living beings have died in the other movies, and stayed dead.
I want to bring back our Djja! Who’s with me?! (refresh)
ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ Djja or Riot ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Plushes. Plushes. PLUSHESSSSSSS
Here is a sketch of Jestette so far. (Refresh)
The (Male) Evolution of Manipull.
Fairy/Dark
The hands represent bags. Since it’s Joker based and Marionette based, it’s hands contain many gags and pranks. Thus the Prankster ability.
It looks almost Fairy/Fighting.
Because of the hands? xD They look like punching bags but they’re technically bags.
I can see where you’re coming from then, nice job! 😀
Thanks :3
I love its new hands 🙂
Lol Dem hands are all you can see.
This gives me disturbing Megaman 8 flashbacks… friggin’ Clownman tho.

its torso reminds me of Braixen’s… its adorable.
So you like Hands and Torsos? xD
that’s what my eyes always rest on first 🙂
I really like it! just one thing how can he use his tricks if doesnt have hands to pull them out with?
Hey guys!!! Whats new? I miss anything?
I battled Heavy’s Mega Latios.
I’m trying to bring back Djja.
So Steel/Dark doesn’t 4x resist Dark anymore? Oh well. There’s Dark/Fairy to look forward to.
That’s an odd change…but yeah, Dark/Fairy is a very good combination.
still weak against Poison & Steel though
And Fairy. 🙁
LOOOLL!! A fairy being weak against fairy. dang.
It’s just as hilarious as a Fairy being weak to a Fairy…if that Fairy is Mawile!
Screw Klefki, no one uses it offensively! XD
I guess you could say it’s
(•_•)
( •_•)>⌐■-■
(⌐■_■)
FAIRY good!
I can’t handle so much win XD
Why can’t I hold all these wins?
You need a bag for all those wins?
It’s ok. My extra jaws will hold on to them for now.
It’s like when you leave Safeway: “do you need any assistance?”
Glad to know they know ASSIST!
It’s just that very few people actually say yes XD
I guess it’s because they are INTIMIDATED!
Ugh, Heavy. You’re making me feel guilty not training up my shiny Pokemon. >.<
IKR I’m like wait Igneous has about as many shinies as I do… where are his??!
Just wait until I train up my shiny Phanpy, Darumaka, Koffing, Drilbur, etc…, then the havoc continues. XD
I’ll have my Mega Latias trained up by then 🙂
*jealousy continues to intensify*
I dont even have 1 MMed guy. TURTQOUIS!!!
You’ll get it soon!
He will come. wait for him.
I should train my shiny Piloswine, Naughty/Oblivious doesn’t come around often.
What was the Hidden Power on your shiny Sylveon, Heavy? 😮 Was it Fire?
Yep!!
GG Pokemaniacmy!!
back to finding that perfect Shape Duck, I guess.
Psyduck has some pretty nice curvature. XD
but that Shape Duck2 + Eviolite tho
2OU4me
Alright who’s Maurice
Sounds like somebody’s aunt,
its a guys name
Oh, whoops. Sorry Maurice.
LMFAO!!!
TheRece25
Now with all these Mega shenanigans out of the way, back to MM Sableye.
Watch as the one I get have Stall or Keen Eye. 🙂
XD
I told myself … “watch me hatch 5iv shiny snubbull and its lacking attack”… *goes to IV checker* Your Pokemon is outstanding in HP… Def… (SCREAMS!))
Did you use the iv calculator?
I still have yet to take it to Institute/IV Calculator thing, so even though it doesn’t have 31 in attack its still possible it could have a good 20 or something lol
Hopefully!
All I want is a shiny turtwig, not any IVs or junk. (Although it wil have them)
That’s how I was for goomy. The first ever Pokemon I MM’d on X. I did it without any IV’s…
That is exactly what happens to my shiny Gastly.
Everything except Special Attack.
I didn’t know how to react.
Heres the plan: I hatch the rest of my turtwig eggs, then I breed some guys for my Elite Four team. If I get done with that, I get more eggs.
How does one use an offensive Sableye competitively? Or can it not be done simply?
I’d think it would be good for Baton Pass.
Its hard, but my sableye can hit pretty solid.
Foul Play and Sucker Punch are some options.
it would first need a Mega Evolution that gives it +50 in Atk, and +50 in speed – then we’ll talk…
Or, or give it an evolution so Eviolite works!
That’d be so OP -_-
specially with Prankster Recover
All day everyday. XD
NO. As sableye being my second favorite, I say give it +50 Def +70 SpDef – 20 SpAtk
Definitely!! Was only saying that cause I couldn’t see sableye being used offensively… I personally want a Mega for it thats defensive still..
all I can think of is foul play and night shade
Is it really ‘lost’ if you know where that object is, technically? XD
nope only misplaced
I’m going to continue my hunt for shiny Elgyem in a little while 😀
Good luck! My shiny growlithe refuses to hatch
Thanks! Hopefully the Shiny Charm-lowered Masuda chances will come in handy.
So does turtqouise
You’ll hopefully get it soon!
Did you hatch those 6 boxes yet?
I guess you’re
(•_•)
( •_•)>⌐■-■
(⌐■_■)
not on FIRE!
Sorry.
xD I need shiny growlthe tho. It’s so HOT
I will listen to Ghibli studio’s music while hatching eggs…
I hatched a shiny before doing the same thing. 🙂
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2WtUfOnDMY
ahh sooo soothing.
I listen to the music box edition. So nostalgic and childish even, but lovely nonetheless.
40 minutes of Miyazaki is pure bliss…
almost as much as maudlin of The Well
my power was out when I got my shiny Duskull…… Imma mess with the power bracket now..
Hmm…interesting proposition…
This needs to happen..

2ND FAVORITE COME TO PAPA!!
When there’s a Dark Type Gym.
One day, Kalos received a grim reminder….
Sableye lives near Rubies, Sapphires, and Emeralds. Need I go on? XD
When Sableye does crystal meth, it begins to grow out of his body…
I only see rubies and sapphires.
Where are the emeralds?
I named my Fletchling in my nuzlocke May. I hope you see this, Djja, wherever you are.
What if the Fletchling gets KO’d D:
You don’t send it out until it’s a Talonflame XD
No.
I tried to bring him back, but all I got was a deformed creature that was barely alive, and I lost my sanity.
What?
I’m waiting until someone gets it. Hold on.
Comment of the month.
Dude. That deformed creature is djja!!
Not sure if Full Metal Alchemist reference…
It is. I wanted to say I lost a part of my body, but I thought it’s be too obvious.
That would cost you an arm and a leg.
Luckily, it wasn’t my whole body.
Full…metal…Alchemist? D:
And BINGO was his name Oh!
all I know is Full Metal Jacket…
Watch Full Metal Alchemist. It’s worth it.
How is it? I know nothing about it except for the fact that it is above FMA in alphabetical order when I search for anime to watch.
Its a really hard hitting movie about the psychological effects of war during the Vietnam War. It was one of the most challenging things i’ve ever watched.
It really is worth it!
Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team Friend Areas, Do I Buy The “Jungle”? :O
No.
You just stare at it.
So, i’m doing it right?
I miss that feature in Mystery Dungeon, being able to visit a recruit such as legendary in their signature habitat!
Yes. I miss it too, cause it made you want to do more missions to recruit pokemon.
Did anyone watch the new episode of Adventure Time?
One of the best episodes in my opinion.
Omg. I missed it. I am so very dun right now.
It was so good like OMG.
All I’m going to say is they really know how to make new characters fit into the storyline.
._. goes online to illegally download and watch the episode cause ondemand wont have it yet and cartoon netwerk won’t have it yet..xD
Netwerk lmao
But yup, you’ll have to wait :3
This is quite unfortunate D: Maybe youtube has it, they had simon and marcy before the release xD
Probably! The episode was called Betty.
I just recently rediscovered the Marine Science Museum theme…dear Goomy, it’s beautiful.
Oh Dear. I’ve gone off topic again. Oh well. Anyway, I’m off to FINALLY watch Attack on Titan!
As Georgia would say in BW, “Ta Taaaaa”!
Have fun fellow Bay-Arean!
Thank you my Bay-Arean Neighbor!
Re-watching or not done yet?
First time watching!
Enjoy! It’s Amazing ^^
I’ve heard. Thanks!
I haven’t watched it either…I’ve also been procrastinating on Fullmetal Alchemist although I love it dearly…the life of a nerd isn’t as filled with nothingness as people say.
