PJM Writing Contest Winners & Art Contest Clear Up

by

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 :).

  2. There is always a town right after the starting town, one where you stop your ambitious adventure and reflect. We need a town name for stopping time.

    -How do you guise like the name Contempo Town for the starting city?
    (It’s a town in a rainforest type environment so would untouched by time work? Temp sounds like Tiempo which is spanish for time)

    -The working title for the fan game is Jade Jungle

    -How do you guise like the female Marionette Pokemon that Igneous made?
    I think it would work for Quinnlette. The female evo of Manipull. I posted the male evo yesterday.

  16. New concept for Pokemon X2 and Y2. NO HATE PLZ 😀

    Airplane and Train System (ideas are still Work In Progress)

    Lumiose City will be featuring the new LumiAir! Lumiose International Airport will be implemented ingame replacing the Lumiose Station, and will allow players to visit certain locations ingame inaccesible by foot or by train. Purpluff City is one of them, with more to be confirmed. The owner and founder of LIA is none other than Skyla, who makes a cameo appearance coming all the way from Unova to Kalos, and to follow in her family’s footsteps. She is battable, and will be a flight attendant alongside Flying-type Gym Leaders from the past.

    There will be new Train Systems implemented into the game, with ideas still being circulated.

    1. There will be multiple train stations with multiple stops, unlockable as you go.

    2. There will be multiple train stations with a designated stop.

    Passes are still ideas:

    1. Can be bought at ______ Station’s Train Stop

    2. Given to you after the Gym Leader is beaten, or after a designated event if no Gym Leaders are present in that location.

    3. They are collected in a similar fashion to Mega Stones in X and Y.

    You might wonder what’s so fun and realistic about Train Stations and an Airport…

    – Real time. Let’s say there was a train/airplane station from Crashnaw to the Battle Frontier, real world hours would take place. It could be as little as 10 minutes or probably as long as 5 hours, but during that time you can battle trainers, gym leaders, cameo appearances from characters in the past, activities, trading sessions, interactions with other people onboard, etc.

    – There are no cutscenes. It is a straight up flight, like in the real world. If there’s anything I hated about BW2’s Airport, and X and Y’s train and Lumi Cab, it’s the cuts. Those are so boring! You get on, pay a fee, and 3 seconds later you arrive, with a black screen (and no entertainment) before your stop. With real time, similar to the Royal Unova, you are able to get a much better and realistic experience.

    – And if you don’t like real time, you are able to change the settings. If you want to seriously grind your Pokemon, you can set the flight option to Very Slow, and take 5 real world hours to arrive to your designated location. Or you can go Very Fast if you just don’t care, and be there in 10-20 real world minutes, tops.

    – There can be twists! There could be a snowstorm, a thunderstorm, a hurricane, etc. and will leave you on a random island or something.
