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 :).

Is this supposed to be a history reference? 😮 As to how the auto industries developed stuff for military?
It’s just a reference to his Steel Typing
I like the name but Goomy came up with the idea for the steel leader
“I had an idea for a Steel-type GL. His name would be Jasper, and he’s
a train conductor. His gym is a kind of steampunk train station.”

Hmm. I feel as though i should make a sub committee for Dex Entries and Back stories for Characters.
ill take that role 🙂
I believe you and I are in the Story Committee as well in some aspect?
Yes. Want me to add you to the list?
Sure, if it helps xD
I thought i was on the designing committee?
I got designs up the wazoo
I shall add you to ze list.
I thank you my good discolored herbivorous nocturnal sound emitting Chiroptera
Oh, and I can help greatly with naming! I came up with Manipull already xD
Do you guys not use Pokémon Amie? I make sure to get all the hearts.
I do….
For some of them I maxed out the hearts…
I just see lots of fully evolved pokemon enter the bottom of my screen is why I asked with 1 or no hearts
I don’t like how my mawile like me to touch it. *shudders*
just getting 2 hearts is tedious and boring
not for me.. I dislike how the dodging benefits and curing yourself in battle doesn’t carry on into online play though..
that would be kinda unfair though some people love amie like you other simply hate it like me and just because of that you can get an unfair advantage
I have a story. Today during first period, the power went out all throughout the school and people were acting like idiots. So when I was walking to second period, I shouted “DOWN WITH DOME!” before going into my classroom. About five minutes later, the power went back on. XD
Helix, heard you and rewarded you for your efforts.
Everyone must praise Helix, the resurrected being of ultimacy.
Wow. Touching story…XD
It’s Pokemon-related…in the least relatable way possible.
I know, I know. So what caused this whole Helix prophet thing?
reddit and twich plays pokemon.
Okay.
The Helix brings the light.
And allowed me to stay at school instead of it being cancelled -_- XD
Helix wants you to be smart and learn.
He Wants Xatu to be smarter than the false prophet.
What a wonderful being ;D
Can anyone here do music? Pipe hasn’t really been active on this website recently 😛
I can do mario paint. can’t ensure quality music tho. :3
Anything will do for now xD
If I could draw I’d make some really cool pokemon designs. but alas, Helix cursed me with double-jointed fingers.
Helix granted me a second pair of arms…
Don’t know how but i ain’t complaining!!
I couldn’t think of anything clever to say to make my appearance known. So hi.
Chicccoooooo!
“It’s Chico Time!”
“Chico! I choose you!” (Not me, but as an entrance…)
Chicochu
Thia looks like a cool area (refresh for pic)
OOOHHH that’s from Darkrai and the whosawhatsit!
after finishing with drillbur, my next IV breeding targett will be a dusknoir, i always loved that cyclop
YES thank you! Man people like dusclops better 😀 IMO i love dusknoir so much more
competitve wise, dusclops is better mainly because of its stupid high spdef and def with eviolite but dusknoir have a cooler design and i can use leftovers (still i believe they should atleast raised his hp to 100 instead of attack why gamefreak why)
cough mega dusknoir cough 🙂
fun fact: NONE OF THE MEGA RECEIVED A BOOST IN HP so yeah knowing gamefreak they would give him more unneccesary attack
In case anyone forgot or needs to know, here’s a link to the mountmoon thread with all the info : http://mountmoon.net/topic/12440-the-pokejungle-fan-game/
If you guys need help with names of Pokemon or towns or something I can help. I’m better at that than the actual designing.
same for me 🙂 team?
Yeah, of course! 😀 Let’s do this.
Ok i think we should do starting town first
I feel like we should do that once we have a connection between the names of all the other cities. Like for Littleroot, it’s connected to Fortree and so on.
I think Nintendochip already did the starting town xD
what types are the gyms? I got a few ideas to share
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtcMwK-dgVrndExCWHlXbjRJM0pTdDdIdzNpa0V4cXc&usp=drive_web#gid=0 So Far. The first gym is Dragon.
I think somebody was asking for the name for a starter before, it resembled a water mollusk. Is this true? Because I thought the name Smallusk would be good.
http://media.tumblr.com/f7898da6e5eb640503e616d50ead60b5/tumblr_inline_mx9kmkz3Fc1ss4q64.jpg
This was it. Such an interesting name too xD I like Smallusk.
Alright i’m going to log off and eat an Eggplant
Peeace!
Bye?
just keeping it real dawg
True dat!
See ya
Eat en eggplant? Lmfao, okay. xD
I’m in the process of TRYING to draw the female marionette fakemon.
I hope this turn out well. I haven’t draw Fakemon in forever. Mostly just realistic animals.
Good luck. You saw my Fakemon for that evolutionary line yes?
No, but you did say go wild. 😉
Indeed i did :3
O_O So, in this game, can we have a good and mean rival? I would like tension between them.
Ooh and the female protagonist can actually admit her love for the male unlike Serena?!

This was the starting town that TheNintendoChip made.
may i name it?
Not sure if it had a name cause the project was kind of dormant for a month or two xD
ah ok …. did you see my idea below?
Looks like an hourglass.
Hurglas Town.
Chroniker town?
That’s not bad. Something to do with time…Orward Town?
Everflow town?
That would be good for a town with a lot of water…maybe the one with a Water-type gym.
il keep that in mind then 🙂
It should be called Everflow City, I think that sounds awesome for a Water Gym location 😀
agreed 😀
With a waterfall in the main part of town!
A waterfall that goes upwards, if you catch my drift.
Yes yes yesyesyesyesyes
😉
a gym hidden inside the waterfall 😀
O_O YES.
EVERFLOW CITY, somebody needs to write this somewhere XD
Does sound kinda like Ever Grande, though…
its a fan game……
I don’t care anyways.
I did im keeping track as well as contempo town 😀
Timedale Town?
For the dragon type gym elader, why don’t we name the town Savagon City? (Savage+dragon) with a hot spring there too :)?
Already have a name, cant remember it (something like meterois city)
dang 🙁
Dragon Leader..?
hmm
http://imgur.com/AcvF1LZ,pJ1TDq0 (ps there is a difference other than it being flipped, the capes are different colors and the head is oriented the same way in both)
Looks awesome.
😀
I was actually kinda unsure about it myself, but if people like it then that’s awesome
Noivern, what am I suppose to do with the strings for the marionette?
I didn’t add strings to mine xD
Well, I’ll let the strings telepathically floating up, then.
@shinyxatu:disqus How about Contempo Town?
That’s GREAT. I’m 100% with that one.
Love it! I’m all in.
