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 :).

I heard, will you get the shiny legends as well?
I already have Xerneas shiny, and Mega Latios… sat I’ll trade to get more..
Cool, I’m more excited for shiny celebi
He admited to using the power save in live steam
If you have both X and Y and one Pkmn Bank then can you get two Celebii? I didn’t think so but..
No.
Nope only 2 3ds
no
Rage! Eh, idc. Anyone want a rare candy?
a rare candy XD
I’m good thanks for the offer 🙂
Ok. I have no need whatsoever… Except for evolving a Sliggoo… Never mind.
I did.. but thats cause I made another nintendo ID for my little brothers 3ds, downloaded Bank on his 3ds, and got another celebi XD
well i have 2 celebiis aswell
I have 3.. 2 that I got myself, and a timid one from a trade
i have 3 XD i meant
I love my modest one I didn’t expect it. Now it’s gonna be pink xd
like this?
http://s27.postimg.org/4x9hkrsqb/unnamed.jpg
Don’t tell me it’s yours………
Will be.
Pink celebi holds a sediments feel to me. Your very lucky to have friends like those .
I have one that my uncle gave me a while back. It’s in my Pearl I think.
I used to have a 10 ANNIV shiny one on HGSS but it wasnt able to be traded to 5th gen lol.. Guessing it was hacked.
Dusknoir pink celebi and sceptile and some of my favorite pokemon. ……. You can probably. Figure out why 😉
I just got quirky…
I have careful, sassy, and timid.
Is TheNintendoChip here?
no
Why?
Anyone else realize…
Blue’s main Pkmn is from his region.
Lance is the only exception with Dragonite, non Gen 2 Pkmn.
Steven has Metagross, Gen 3.
Cynthia = Garchomp, Gen 4.
Alder = Volcarona, Gen 5.
Diantha = … Gardevoir?
Anyone thinking what I’m thinking?
HURREN CONFIRMED
Blues main pkmn is the opposite starter and HURREN CONFIRMED
Yeah, I couldn’t really pin that and YEAH!! And I guess Lance is like Wallace. He kept his main Pkmn, so you can’t blame him.
Well gen 2 didn’t introduced any dragon pokemon
Yeah, that’s true also. It’s kind of sad that the only Dragon type Pkmn Dragon Master Lance had on his team were 3 of them. They killed me in HG, though…
IMO soulsilver had the lowest challenge to me. Sinnoh and unova challenge mode wa hard
Yeah, but I got hard mode after I beat both games so…
Even iris had haxorus
And Wallace had Milotic.
Ah Wallace and his fabulous team XD
That was nice. Still liked Steven better.
Can the Powersave thingy active cheats like walk through walls?
Don’t say its name!!
I just wanna know if theres hidden areas xD
Say you-know-who then. I kid, I kid. Possibly. Anyways, I have no idea/
Not yet. The device is new and the device updates on its own with new codes
Grr i wanna see where the train leads xD
Or what’s behind the power plant doors
0_0
So much power at my grasp only when it comes…. No trade and can replace this 🙂
Volcanion!
definitely!!
Someone in one of the plazas says a hot beast thing powers lives under the city. Someone said it was probably Heatran, but then they leaked Volcanion. Steam comes out of one of the buildings, and he’s a Fire/Water so…
It actually is heatran.
Hows does yous knows?
“I hear there’s a Lava Dome Pokemon in Jaune Plaza,”
Heatran is the Lava Dome pokemon
Hmmm. Wow. No one knows. But wait. Why would they not have in game already? They had it last Gen also…
Idunno. I brought my heatran there and nothing happened.
Hmph. If there was a Mega Evo then they would’ve already found it…
the area probably not programmed into the game yet…
Don’t say that D:
Lies 🙁
I say it is, just need a item to do it.
I’m back and I bought some Coke…o..cola
Hai Why not Mountain Dew D:
I’m trying to be good this week
(And besides if my Mother saw I bought it she will literately murder me and put my head on a pike)
She’s not okay with your mountain dew addiction? 😮
especially with dis new diet
Get some Diet Mountain Dew xD
I love Diet Mtn Dew!
Bleth I say!
so I can trade you the sandshrew clone now??
What’s new?? I’m home and gotta hatch more turtwigs. . . :/
Nothing much sadly 🙁
I hope next gen we get a feature that counts our steps while our 3ds is in sleep mode and hatches our eggs according to the amount of steps we’ve taken.
I just want better places to level and Move Tutors
That too,
Which name is better??
Swagisaur

My venasaurs name is Chia Pet
My torterras name will be either Pangaea or Aurum
Yggdrasil is my trevenant
Serperior or Sceptile?
😛
Meganium or tyrantrum?
Meganium. Es Dinosaur
What part of 😛 do you not get??
But sceptile and serperior aren’t dinosaurs XD only ITS SCEPTILE XD SCEPTILE IS THE ONLY GECKO
Wait nvm
Ah cool. Andi say Pangea for torterra
I like Pangaea, but I’ve been waiting for a gold shiny to name Aurum
Aurorus?
Can you check your Pokedex for Turtwig? You may have already found it and accidentally released it XD
If I did I swear to God . . . . .
IT’S SCEPTILE! I named my Sceptile Geico XD
It isnt sceptile. Swagisaur it is then.
Banette
Breloom
Camerupt
Wallrein
This is my current B team . What else should i add to it? 😮
More Lickitung,
Less everything else.
Of course.
Eviolite Goomy.
Why not regular Goodra?
Nope, dont have its shiny in my dex. My RNG just hates me.
And guys Saur or Saurus means lizard not nessicarily a dinosaur
Serperior it is
You’ll see. 😛
Heliolisk? Clemont has one and all
He has a shiny one already I believe XD
Yup!
Oh xD
Dinosaurs are the precursors to birds, not lizards
^this 😀
Although there are closely related creatures called synapsids, which are the precursor to lizards/mammals. Most of them also got called -saur. But most dinosaurs actually went extinct or evolved into things we call nowadays birds.
I had a dream my friend told me that he had the perfect girafarig set. It was Ice Beam, Calm Mind, and 2 other moves. Then he said this. “The eviolite goomy empire shall fall to the reign of king girafarig”
I learned that every gen anime had a pokemon only found in the next gen
Gen 1 togepi
Gen 2 Wynaught
Gen 3 bondly mine jr lucario
Gen 4 zorua zoroack
Gen 5 noiverns gigot helioptile
Gen 1 also had Donphan, Snubbull, Marril, and Elekid before Gen 2 anime.
Dat movie tho
Yep. And Tracy in the anime with Marril, As well as an episode where elekid’s socket pieces were peaking over a bush and Ash wondered if he saw a Pokemon or not.
And HO-OH XD
OMG YES first episode XD
Doesn’t that happen in every series? I remember Zekrom in the anime.
yeah but zekrom appeared in gen 5 Ho-oh appeared in gen 1
Oh I didn’t know that.
What shall this anime have..lol
Bedrone XD
Still want it..lol
Oh.. My… Gosh…. I just realized…. Togepi is a Gen 2 Pkmn. XD Oh, how stupid I’ve been!
Blaziken
I discovered Gen 2 when a kid came to our local playground and showed us his japanese Stantler trading card… and we kept telling him it was fake, that there wasn’t a deer Pokemon… Boy did he prove us wrong looking back it.
here’s the exact card he showed us lol
http://thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mCRweXGHvqCf44gRdftx4dQ.jpg
I didnt’ know until my brother’s friend let me borrow it. I was a wee lad xD
I remember way back when I lived in West Islip, in Elemetry school everyone fawned over Pokemon Trading Cards but I never had any and I always saw them being confiscated to a basket but one day when no one was looking I stole one card from the deck
This was my very first Pokemon Card

How ironic xD
Why do they always bring back the legendaries from the dead or asleep? I wish they could have it where the main legendary is alive and roams, and they summon it at the climax?
Kinda like Suicune? Or any of the dogs?
Yeah, but as a main legendary.
I think tipping may affect the chances of a pokemon hatching with pokerus. Earlier today, I tipped 10,000 and later hatched 2 pokemon with pokerus in the same batch.
On that happy note, anyone need Pkrs?
It may not even affect any of that and it’s just luck XD
So I get pokerus twice, and no shiny after 500 eggs? xD
Maybe your breeder (most likely Talonflame) had Pokerus? While mine had it, it spread to the eggs and they hatched with Pokerus.
you can hatch shinies with pokerus this gen without you having pokerus in your party. I hatched two pokerus pokemon and my talonflame never had the virus.
Nope, no pokerus. It’d be cool if it was because of tipping though.
Yep. Same happened to me. I’ve hatched 2 pokes with pokerus since X released. It definitely meddles with the RNG rate, bringing forth shinies/6ivs/pokerus
Then it’s possible that it doesn’t affect shiny rates at all.
I think it still does
I always wondered what tipping did other than spend your money on nothing. And I wonder what happens if you tip 10000 multiple times in a day or so?
It probably increases pokerus chance, or shiny rates. I like the idea of it increasing shiny rates though
Same here.
I tipped 6 times (60,000) and no shiny yet.
You be nice to NPCs, the game rewards you with a higher shiny rate. Sounds plausible 😀
OMG XD Gian’s reaction to when he finds a yveltal ex in his box ITS PRICELESS
lmao you should’ve heard/saw my reaction when I got Kyogre EX a week or 2 ago. I’ve been getting back into the TCG lately
its in his video. He starts running around his house then he puts the card into frame and romantic music starts to play XD
i said kyogre ex i meant kyurem ex lol. And you have a link I want to see it?
Somewhere in the middle of the video XD
