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 :).

It’s only a matter of time

Looks like poseidon gone wrong XD
I wish they would color coat Pokemon games again 😛
black was on a black cartridge lol
It’s not the same D: xD
Oh I saw an awesome picture of Surging Sapphire and Raging Ruby in blue and red 3DS cartridges
That’s what made me think these thoughts xD I miss the color coating D:
I know… Emerald and Leaf Green were kinda confuzzling though.
One was slightly darker xD
So some people think they only remade Red/Blue and Gold/Silver because you couldn’t transfer anything from Gen 1-2 past Gen 2. If this is case, and Nintendo doesn’t end up releasing Remakes, how would you feel?
Sad
NNNNNOOOOOOO
NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO
NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO
HOENN SEQUELS XD
The fires of hell hath no fury like thy own…
Protest! “We want remakes! Remakes we want!”
Doth not knoweth the powers of the universe
If we beg for a game remake we ain’t gettin’ one
I will. For I am the almighty POKEMASTER!! I shall either make the sea rise, sea shrink, make a new universe, steal everyone’s pets and make them fight, or rule the world!
settle down beavis…
IMO remakes are not for getting the old pokemon I cant transfer, they are for re-experiencing the region again with new graphics! To have nostalgia surges! To remember good times
IKR!?
HGSS were released to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Gold & Silver… not because of compatibility like FRLG. Same will be the case for the Emerald remake.
then SInnoh 😀
Yes! Emerald was my favorite out of the trio
yep i too usually like the 3rd game best, emerald, platinum and black/white 2 if they count
Except for Wallace…
Its so hard to decide my paltinum team DX So many good options
Bibarel?
nope
Go all Sinnoh Pkmn. Torterra, Dialga, Froslass, Luxray, water type?, and idk
im going empoleon, luxra,froslass, gallade, togekiss, probably lickilicky im not 100% positive i usually change along the way
Shape Duck2. He got me through the elite 4. dat bulk tho.
wait dies the gts gltich work in platinum?
*shrugs* I dunno. I just used my old DSi to trade. BTW GameFreak, Trade Evos suck. X(
porygon family >:(
What’s new again?? I’ve almost finished hatching this batch
wanna join the sinnoh journey friday?
As much as I wanna, I have too many thingst to catch up on in Kalos. Thanks for the offer!! 😀
I get a pop-up like every twenty seconds UGH!!
Hmm apparently there is a glitch in pokemon platinum to get to shaymin or darkrai 0_0
they were officially released in Platinum though.
i know i meant diamond pearl but it still works in platinum
What are good EVs for an Adamant Mamoswine?
I’m thinking either:
252 HP / 252 Attack / 6 Speed
6 HP / 252 Attack / 252 Speed
First one.
Thank you! 😀
Jordin, can you go back on chat for a PM? I need your opinion.
Sure 🙂
Thanks! 🙂
what would be a good EV spread for a quiet Porygon2?
I would go 252 HP / 252 Special Attack / 4 Defense + Eviolite 🙂
Thanks
Anyone watch the new adventure time Betty epsiode 0__0
Yeah
it answered some many questions only to leave new ones. MAn i love episodes like these
It was FAR too short.
i know i want MORE
They could have ATLEAST had a half hour special.
yep , im just gald it filled a HUGe plothole. Cant wait to see when betty finds a cure for simon
Or She could become the Ice Queen. That would be awesome.
cure gone wrong :O
Uh, jordin? I’m just making sure you havent forgot.
Still shiny Sableye. This is going to take a week like Darumaka, isn’t it?
Oh, boy!!! One whole week!! xD
Do you have the shiny charm though?
I got it about 300 eggs ago.
But don’t forget, the rates of hatching between you and I are different. You don’t even have your own Hatching Power. So a whole week of me constantly hatch eggs might be different from yours.
Yeah, and, I’m SUPER busy alot, so this is my first free time all week.
So…much…testing…make it stop! D:
Should be no problem for you.
You see the answers before the tests….right? XD
If that were true, I would be in Yale.
No
disqus is going so slow for me… and not even loading comments I have to keep refreshing.
mobile?
Need design ideas for the dragon leader ;-;
pls
Spikes.
A lot of spikes.
And fangs.
its a person…
Who said I was talking about Pokemon?
Adult or Kid?
probably adult
hmmmm
Why not go for the Rebellious wild Teen who’s wilder then the Dragons he trains
Or use this for inspiration
http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/145/e/6/fakemon__dragon_gym_leader_by_masterthecreater-d513a64.png
I just saw that on Google xD Looks cool but it’s a bit overdesigned.
He looks like the kind of guy who’ll F your S Backwards if you even look at him wrong
Kind of Viking like.
Oooo a Norse Pokemon / Gym leader would be cool!
Wha…. What is this….?!
PETA will get him.
What’s PETA going to do, oh right nothing!
They’ll go on a rant, beg the gov’t for money and do jack squat
That’s the joke.
PETA always gets my blood a boilin’
Beg Govnah for money.
White Hair + Cape.

Look at dat cape.
EDNA MOD XD XD XD
What do you think was the best console game for 2013?
(GTA5 was overhyped. *runs away*)
Wind Waker HD. Because I never played the original 😛
The Last of Us is my pick.
Riveting story, thrilling gameplay, immersive environment, etc…
I heard lots of good things about it! Our family has a PS3 for watching Blu-Ray movies, so I don’t play games on it very often BUT one day I will try it out.
It’s more realistic than most apocalyptic games.
Still haven’t bought it .-.
More realistic than Uncharted? Well, I guess they would be virtually tied in that regard…
Uncharted and The Last of Us are both made by the same company: Naughty Dog! XD
Oh crap, I actually knew that though! XD
Wind Waker HD
and then I realized that I never bought a 2013 game for my home console….
I didn’t buy a Wii U game for an entire year until I got Wind Waker HD. I had two and now I have six 😛
Telltale Games : The Walking Dead
Lots of people like that, but I never watched the show or played the game.
It’s based on the comics. I like the Show. Read the comics. Played the game.xD It’s an amazing game story wise and the ending of S1 will give you feels.
I’ll probably wait until it’s on sale on Steam because I rarely use that service anymore xD
Each Episode was only $5 for the game.xD It’s Episodic and there are 5 Episodes in S1
I think I remember the collection being on sale for $15 a long time ago…or maybe that was the pre-order for Season 2.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY XATU!
I love the series and its story, but it just doesn’t cut it for me in my opinion. (Along with the Wolf among Us)
But The Last of Us a tad bit better. -don’t flame me-
I will not flame you.xD The Last of Us is a great game too, although i personally haven’t played it. I enjoy the walking dead more because of the way that the dialogue is choice based and you can change minor things in the plot and develop emotions for the characters.

@TheNintendoChip:disqus I made a SpreadSheet for Gym Leaders. Btw Did you see My fakemon line for the Fairy Gym Leader?
I’m not important enough to see it…
I fixed it .-. xD
Earthen is now worthy!
am I not worthy?
Do you really want me to answer that?
wasn’t talking to you.
I can still answer it. :3
alrighty, then
You are worthy…. enough.
What do you mean? 😮
I want to see the leaders. :3
I saw you made one but I needed permission to see it 😛
Whoops. Try again.xD
Who thinks the Dragon Gym leader should be a Youthful yet rebellious Wild Teen
I can see a Lanky 17 year old, with a punk Mohawk or spikes with a dragon claw necklace and cut-up jeans
The Dragon Gym Leader is often represented by wise aged adults this is a clever spin since Dragons can be erratic and wild creatures
and a more important what would this guy’s Dragon be?
So kind of like Roxie’s boyfriend?
The Kalosian “Gangsters” xD
Hanging out in the Lumiose alleyways…like people do xD
I was also thinking a young dude. But someone who kinda looks like Siebold.
Bleeeeh
That guy’s so proper and clean
That’s the point xD Kind of like a Mysterious vibe going.
That’s soooooo Cliche
I! And normal/dragon…
So an older, male version of Iris?
