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 :).

Gotta represent Shiny Crew with Megas.xD
That Lickitung one is my favorite – to laugh like a madman at.
Dowannalick
OH I GET IT 😀
Who’sFlygon?
Shiny Trapinch
That’s so ugly I’ll find better ones.
Lol i looked for mega lickitung not mega mega lickilicky
the flygon is GLORIOUS
Dragonith on DeviantArt made it.
well he just drew the definition of awesome
Mega Flygon looks ugly
Such appropriate timing!
opinions are opinions…
I guess it was over-designed.
Please direct you attention to mega tyranitar
Im not digging the wing textures tho
Like a Digimon.
No, es awesome.
I didn’t know we had that many Shinies here.
I think Shiny Trapinch may have been here even before I was, I can’t remember though.
Mega Noivern is sooo boss
Have not seen it but it does NOT need a mega.xD Unless they greatly decrease speed.
I typed Greninja instead of Noivern… I dunno why he was on my mind lmfao.. but I meant Noivern… looks great
Ohhh xD I was so confused xD It needs a boost in it’s defenses.
Mega Xatu, Mega Noivern, Mega Flygon, y Mega Lickilicky.
Refresh.
Xatu got posted twice idk why
No es Mega Noivern. Es regular Noivern on a streetlamp xDD
I’m sorry for being so blunt, but that Lickilicky mega is literally the ugliest thing I have ever seen. XDXD
I said no drugs Xatu.
Such innuendo, many misinterpret. Much anger.
licklicky just had its large intestate removed

bunch of cool mega’s that I would like to see happen
Dat Mega Altaria
Dragon/Fairy preferably!!
I agree with all but the Sableye and Altaria ones.
(Design wise)
Altaria’s could’ve been better I agree
I love the crackhead grin Sableye has
LMFAO I’m still not over your crystalmeth comment from earlier
Another mega evolution for Charizard?
which looks like a fire fighting type?
JUST NO
XD
Charizidite Z – Fire/Fighting
But that doesn’t make sense that it doesn’t have wings! What if it knows the move fly! What if you megaevolve it in a sky battle!
Dat Torterra…
Mega Machamp should get a massive Attack Boost and gain the Ability Sheer Force
GEEEZUS!!!
Imagine the Dynamic Punch!
Got to be a good student again and do my HW. Ta Taaaa~
as do I
I’ve chosen to go for Bidoof. And no, I am not mentally sane XD
PMD?
OHH MM xD
It was my first-ever shiny (well, Bibarel was) back in Pearl many years ago. I erased the save file, so now I must reclaim it.
Go for Shiny Zigzagoon.
Or Furret.
Funny I have both shiny Bibarel and shiny Linoone.
You and Heavy have too many xD
Is anyone here mentally sane?
Nope, and that’s exactly why I love it!
Turtwigs made me lose my sanity. . . . O_O
I never had any sanity to begin with so it’s kewl
HAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Heheheheh I is kool.
Mega Monday!
Minds blown.
Socks blown off. Noivern don’t wear socks for noivern is not human. Noivern is referring to himself in third person cause he don’t know why.
Jovi likes that.
Jovi is very annoying in XD.
Jovi is not cute.
Who are Jovi?
XD Gale of Darkness.
Little sister.
Ah. Hulk smash shadow lugia. Kay?
I believe it’s now Monster Weenie Monday.
I prefer Weenie Hut General. The managerial staff at the other place is absolutely terrible.
I’m totally making you my new best friend.
Bye Xatu!
The top 3 would make AMAZING starters. I’m crying – I need that little water tiger SO bad. http://s24.postimg.org/x6a5msl6t/unnamed.png
I like the witch kitten. And the grass starter is so kawaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
I couldn’t figure out what that was lol… It just reminded me of a Meowth in a way..
I LOVE THE BUSH BOAR
What was the name of the Leaf Elephant we made?
Sproot
Eleplant
Ginormount
Shall i add to cunfurrmmeeed list?
well this a Grass Starter
Oh yeah .-. xD Well we gotta vote for the fire starter first cause we have more of those.
Exactly as much as I want Sproot to have a role it wouldn’t be fair if nobody had a chance
Yeah, i didn’t remember that it was for a starter but i remember adding it to the spreadsheet.
Put it in your game.
Yes!
LMFAO @ ELEPLANT!!! That’s sooooo Gamefreak!! We need that!!
Not to sound boastful but I’m really awesome when it comes to creating Fakemon designs and names
I bet. Even “Sproot” is adorable haha!!
Imagine a Chubby Pale Green Elephant Calf with large leaf ears a playful youthful face with nub tusks and a ruffle of grass around it’s neck
Yesssss we need a proper boar Pokemon!
Well it looks actually more like a Tapir
baby thunderous?
OMG I didn’t even think about him lol – I was thinking about Raikou. Still adorb though!!
OMG the water <3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5mQ5Zfi3Xg
Ooohh i came back just to share this. xD Goodnight.
😮 😮
Why do they all have aspect of white in their color scheme? 😮
Pokemon White 3 CONFIRMED
Saw that. Just making me more excited
I got Mega Latios 🙂
I hate those hackers…
:/
And he isn’t a hacker, he is a famous youtuber xD the one intergral
So I don’t run a Mega on my team. I’m worried that I should though….
You listed Scizor, didn’t you? Just go Mega Scizor.
Type?
??
What is the mega for?
The PJL or just competitive?
Competitive. I’m nowhere near done with my PJL team. :/
Use Mega Gardevoir.
Timid.
Psychic,
Shadow Ball,
Hyper Beam
Moonblast
Holding whatever the item is that helps Hyper Beam.
I’ll keep that in mind! 🙂
I’m actually really bored and pissed off and depressed and ugh all at the same time.
Why is life so complicated.
Look up on Youtube “Red Pandas playing in the snow”. That should cheer you up.
Licki, don’t be depressed. Focus on the good things in life. Family, friends, food, Pkmn, a place to live, etc. Some people in other places are living in terrible conditions, and they just have to keep moving foward. I hope all of you read this and agree. Goodnight.
LOL there’s a kid on serebii thats looking for a geomancy smeargle and a 6iv sylveon… Hmm I wonder who his inspiration is.
Do you think it’s somebody from here? 😛
I asked him if he’s ever heard of Pokejungle and he said whats that? His IGN on PSS is Freddy lol.
Maybe you battled him over WiFi or something then. Never seen another Geomancy Smeargle other than yours. Lol
Geomancy Smeargle passing it off to Sylveon? I’ve seen it before somewhere, not from you definitely.
XD
*whisper*Just to be sure, that wasn’t sarcasm. XD
Yeah come to think of it I did battle two people over at serebii’s recently so it could’ve been him…
Why do you think I hatched my Shiny Snubbull right after yours? You’re an inspiration to trainers everywhere 😛
That was so bootyful.
not as bootyful as you :X
<3
