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 :).

restalk dusknoir with night shade and infestation sounds like a very reliable strategy
This marks me officially at 1000 eggs. So now I plan to take a short break and then get 6 more boxes, to put me at 1180. Lets just keep our fingers crossed! 🙂
That’s the spirit. 🙂
The more eggs I get, the more it shows me I can do this, so from the beginning I never had a thought to give in.
Surprised you aren’t giving up lol.. I would’ve gave up after 200… I never passed that line XD
O_o
You mean all of your shiny were obtained below 200 eggs?
What the heck?
Yep. Turtwig took like 56. I remember getting it on the second box – second row.
The lowest I remember getting was Charmander and Aron, below 30. All others were above 400.
the lowest I ever got was Goomy at 11 (without shiny charm AND without MM)… the highest I ever got was Snubbull… around 180 something..
Oh boy!! 180!! Such a high number!!! xD
it really was for me though XD
In fact… I still have a few snubbull eggs left cause I’ve been so lazy in hatching them XD
The odds are in your favor.
I have to capture the odds…
The odds fled from Ithsme.
XD
Koffing came pretty quick for you as well now that I think about it…
One hour your all… “hmm… I think my next MM target is Koffing”…
few hours later “OMFG I TIPPED 1,000 AND GOT A BLUE KOFFING” lmao
Lol.
I had the most none-reactive face when I first saw it. It was the 6th egg for that day. I wasn’t even surprise for some reason.
I love my 5IV shiny Koffing.
lowest for me was a gible at 17 highest a yamask at 36 then i have all the failed MM passing more than 100…
omgsh gible I have to work on getting one 0_0 you MM’d two beauties – I haven’t seen anyone do those two yet.
This makes me so mad. xD
If you have another Pokemon you want me to try and design, speak now.
I don’t want to draw another thing today after this,
@BigGuyI:disqus
Has MANY Ideas
Oh noes….
Let’s see.
Mega Xerneas and Yveltal. FIRST!
Mega Xerneas- Dark/Flying.
Mega Yveltal- Fairy/Flying
Lol wut. .-.
PLOT TWIST FOR X2 and Y2
Dicie pls….
;(
Sowwy
Mega Milotic… A Fairy/Bug Pokemon… design anything to do with fairies… XD
Why bug and not dragon? XD
I want a fairy/bug so bad… ever since I seen Pan’s Labrynth lol… then I want a fairy/dragon XD
Vwalah
SHINY TURTWIG FOR ME!
He meant fakemon 😮
Make something that is Bug/Dark.
I need descriptions, ideas, inspirations!
Okay, bear with me…Cockroach bandit! Bug-type ‘roach that becomes Bug/Dark with fleshy wings that serve as bags for pillaging the food of other Pokemon.
O_O
Not bad right? xD
I’m back you guys!
Jelelelelelelelllo
FLUFFY
……
Can we have an ice castle? A certain someone I know would love that.
LET IT GO
LET IT GOOOOOOO
:3 It should be a gym. xD
Ah! Snowball fight challenge!
Actually yeah 😀 If it had some kind of spiral structure in the middle that is visible from the outside as it’s ice, that would be awesome.
Someone tell Noivs. xD
And when you enter the gym can the stair case appear in the fashion on how Elsa built it? :3
Yes, absolutely! But better! >:D
It would not be unfair Cabinkle… It would be a simple game mechanic like any other thing… its like saying you don’t like to train while others do so its unfair.. Pokémon amie could have been cooler and more useful that way
I agree. And more people would’ve used it if the effects translated to online. But this is the first time they introduced Amie.. I’m sure its gonna only improve.
Yeah, I wouldn’t see tons of fully evolved pokes with 1 star passing through and their likely Starving :'(
XD
for me it would be unfair, just playing amie that has nothing to do with competitive. while training is another thing if you want to battle you have to train simple as that
plus you have supertraining and horde so training became more easy while amie is just tedious
I’m crying so bad right now. . .. . . . because I poked me eye not because RNG sucks
Shiny Noivern, you said he meant fakemon. Are you implying that shiny turtwigs do indeed exist?
Indeed they do. One day, you’ll find the right one.
I dont need to find the right one. I just need anyone at all.
“Help! I need somebody! Help! Not just anybody! Help! I need someone! Heellllppp…”
Wut.
Beatles song.
I know. I just remembered xD
You are clever.
Omg. I see what you did. That song..xDDD
I love that song. :’D
Great song…
I’m just gonna go I guess.
Today was the one of the most freaking depressing days ever.
Whatever.
Why Licki? Go ahead and vent.
Cheer up. It’ll get better!
Porque D:
Tell Mama Noivern
Lay it on us. That’s what we’re here for.
And look, Licki! Friends. That’s what we’re here for.
Does anyone have a protean kecleon?
Lots of not useful stuff in X and Y.. the inverted battles.. the pictures where you don’t see your pokemon but have still have to set up all the stupid lighting and zooming… Amie is nice but only useful in game .. -_-
They need to understand that we no longer need to see what the 3Ds can do.. we want only things that work both In and Out game to be created
I genuinly howled laughing at “stupid lighting and zooming” XD – the camera thing was a bit odd lol.. but you can view the pics you take on global link. XD
I like Amie but I hope it gets upgraded. I wonder how they will continue to evolve Sylveon in future games
Ok, so I will try to design something Fairy/Bug. (Just not a mega though)
YAYY!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait…
All right screw that!!! This has inspired me for no break!! I just gotta go ahead and get more!! I wish I had this inspiration everyday.
Half my team has 6 IVs. The Problem is that i only have half a team..xD
That’s like saying:
“I can jump higher than a house! But only because houses can’t jump.”
Good Analogy.
It’s like saying “I have a Subway footlong. But I left half of it in the store”.
I dont have 6 Ivs. I use 5 but x in what I dont need.
Yeah but it’s nice to have 6 Ivs.
when I’m MM’ing I strive to hatch 5iv’s… but 6’iv’s dont hurt either… depending on the Poke… The smeargle I use is 6IV.,,, he needed it lol.
Not enough for a Choice Scarf Donphan!
XD
ROTLMMMMFAOOOO GOODBYE IM LEAVING FOR THE NIGHT. I HAD NIGHTMARES OF THAT THING LASTNGHT
If half your team is 6 IVs, and you have half a team, doesn’t that make it 1.5 Pokemon?
Half my team.xD As in three pokemon have 6 IVs out of the Six pokemon on my team, the problem is that i only have half of a team.
Alright, gotcha 😛 xD
Ha I was confuzzled also
The only ones who have 6 IVS is Gallade and Scrafty the rest don’t need SP Attack IVs
Most Pokemon only need 5 but 6 is nice.
Everytime I hatch a 6IV pokemon I store it in Bank… they’re my trophies 🙂
I only hatched 2 6iv pokemon… a super luck absol, and a run away snubbull… both horrible abilities lol
They’re good for battling youngsters who are bad at battling like Joey xD The abilities are bad sure but they can still be used decently with a good nature and movepool 😀 Plus theres always the ridiculously overpriced Ability Capsule
If I can get used too… and remember the new 6th gen items, I can probably become more of a threat in online battles lol. I compleeeeetly forgot about Ability Capsule & Weakness Policy… Gee maybe I should train these two 6 iv’s then lol
Yes. You should xD
disqus is being glitchy and slow.. i hate it
I thought it was just me.
i need to refresh the page to see the comments
its been working fine the past couple mins for me but all this morning it was terrible. ..
Same here.
Sometimes you can’t @ someone ._.
I feel bad for Licki…
As do I, but he’ll be okay. 🙂
He seemed really upset yesterday for some reason, and it doesn’t seem much better today. Whatever is going on is outside of both his and our control.
I wish he would have stayed on and told us what was wrong cause it would probably make him feel better.
I know… I don’t think he read my comment.
Whats wrong?
He’s really depressed.
Seems like a majority of us on this site are, including myself.
Don’t be. People in other places are enduring far worse terrors than you. Enjoy your life, and everything in it. 🙂
^ I liek this guy
Thank you 🙂 I try to be likeable.
From personal experience, I can say that a person’s mind is the strongest weapon against themselves. But I see what you mean.
Yeah, things may be bad. But like a dream, you can alter it. It’s hard, but you have to learn how to control it.
Almost 100 bucks for a Xatu plush, Dedenne plush, and Xerneas Pokedoll. Sad thing is, I’m actually saving up for it.
I get payed tonight… and I’m actually considering ordering this beauty
http://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-Center-14-Xerneas-Plush/dp/B00FLFLN1Y
I was considering that, but I prefer the Chibi style of the Pokedoll and want something a little smaller so it doesn’t look out of place on my dresser :3
How large is this?
14 in”!!
Not a plush but : http://www.amazon.com/Takaratomy-Pokemon-Monster-Collection-Figure/dp/B00DDE5AGE/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1393378686&sr=1-1&keywords=Noivern

OMFG Derpy Noivern Finger Puppet. I WANT.
XD
pretty cheap too..
It looks cross eyed and like it can’t breathe xD
lol. it looks like it could’ve been the Poke that evolves into Noivern… really obese looking.
Noivern without Officer Jenny Craig
lol.. like it’s saying “kill Me!”
I mean, finger puppets basically get probed. i don’t blame it.
The Fairy/Bug Pokemon is almost done. I’m making finishing touches.
Give it dat Igneous Touch.
And there goes the paper.
It was burned completely.
🙁
Ha! I would’ve thought electrocuted and then turned to dust.
YESSS – if I’m not on when you upload it make sure you send me an “@” so I can see it when I get back..
Too late. He gave it the Igneous touch.
* Baby Doll Eyes *

Igneous acquired Insomnia.
Well heavy used baby doll eyes.
lmao I’m not going to be able to sleep tonight.
@heavymetallamb:disqus
Here, ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?
XD
Tell me what it needs to improve.
Flowers. It need to look more fairyish.
It will swarm around you and eat your flesh. Isn’t that what fairy is all about?
True that. XD Just add a tinee tiny small flower in its hair? Plz?
Maybe the head. Looks awesome though.
Yikes, look at the time! I have to do my homework and take a break, then I will be back! 😀
Farewell, space bird!
Space, did somebody say space? SPAAAAAA-
Yeah. Technically, you can’t hear anything up there, but I’ll LET IT GO.
Backspace. Front Space. Space. The Final Frontier. You’ve seen this all before.
See ya Kevin.
I fixed it up a bit.
But isn’t Mega Milotic supposed to be Water/Fairy MultiScale?
That’s not Mega Milotic though?
The face looks like it.
Yay Licki you’re on!
Not for long.
Oh. Ok. If you do ever need to vent, though, come to me.
Tell us what’s wrong bby
Only if he wants to..
Yes.
Looks great! Now we need a name!
Looks aweshum
Whoa, I already passed 500 comments and didn’t celebrate! I’ll say yay to 524 then!
Congrats man 🙂 you truely are a appreciated member of the jungle.
Thanks Slippery!
No problem 😀
😀
Oooh, Demon Soul’s live stream to help pass the time while hatching Tepig. I’ll take it.
Masudaing tepig?
Aye, I’m about 180 piggies in.
What do you do with all of the extras?
Sometimes people wonder trade, give them away or harshly delete them from existence like me
Abortionist.
I’m not an abortionist 🙁 I reuse some extras and destroy the reject 😉
I know, I kid, I kid. I don’t blame you. 180+ Tepig, just sitting there doing nothing? Yeah.
I know 😉
🙂
They’re in the bank. Except for two boxes full I haven’t moved yet.
Nice! I love my blue flare emboar
I’m back!
Hey Earthen.
