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 :).

This post was brought you by Silph Co., makers of the best Pokémon Capturing Devices out there.
So, IF there is a secondary team, i was thinking team Flora or Fauna to be the Purification team since Eda is the Pollution team.
Well Fauna is animals
Fauna it is!
Meant Flora.
Yeah but it’s life and sounds pretty xD
Team “Something that sounds natural, purify, or atonement
Flora.
Because plant life makes more sense w/purification (think shaymin)
Resora?
What is Resora? xD
Team name relating to beauty and natural stuff.
I’m aware but i’m unsure if he came up with the name or where he got it from.
Oh idk.
A name like restore resora or resurection
So That is 2-3 votes for Flora?
Flora
Sorry for the spam, this is the last edition.
I name it Mymareas. (After Mymaridae, or the family of the Fairyfly)
@heavymetallamb:disqus
Looks great. BTW i don’t think it’s considered spam as it’s Pokemon related content.
volcarona lost sister looks like it can be based on th lunar moth
Where’s Vwalah, the Ice/Fairy Lamb that only effects Shiny Noibats?
Probably off prancing in a frozen meadow
Singing Let It Go.
I never saw frozen…
Same here… Sounded good, though.
Fan game.
That, I leave you guys to come up with.
I’m done.
This is my gift to you.
How do you picture this lamb? Jw.
Well, it needs to be Heavy.
….
True. Wanted his opinion, though.
Idunno what he wants it to look like but it came from a joke cause Heavy spelled it “Vwalah” and he was HeavyMetalFairy at the time he did it and we were talking about milkshakes and how shiny noibat looks like Mint chocolate chip xD
Oh yeah, I remember that! XD
lmfao I just had a really good laugh reading you guys’ convo. So yeah someone needs to draw Vwalah cause I’m terrible at drawing.
Think it’s perfect. Nice job 😉
It looks like a unholy offspring of a Vespiquen and Volcarona
Plus some Scyther.
I’M WEEPING. I’M NOT WORTHY OF LOOKING AT SUCH A BEAUTY. HOW DARE YOU??
This is the best Pokemon I’ve seen submitted to the fan game so far.
Thanks. 😀
Wooow that’s really cool. 🙂
I should work on Gaiasis
Alright. I’ve got to go. Talk you ya’ll later.
Bye! See ya later!
Bye!
See ya
Bye!!!
what is a good ability for excadrill, moldbreaker can OHKO does pesky wash rotom, but i use a tyranitar and a sand force EQ or OP speed is great too…
Gonna get off now cause i gotta shower and eat cereal and do homework and stuff and sleep upside down and eat fruits cause thats what noiverns do. Yup. Mhhhhmmm. Goodnight. Fun fact: I spelled “Goodnight” “Hoodnight” before correcting it.
Here is a demonstration of what happens when pokemon use Baby Doll Eyes:

I’m gonna go now I’m super tired.
And for all of those who asked how I was, thank you for caring, but it’s just gonna go downhill from here.
Life is a never ending road to ruin.
But, goodnight sexy sexys (except most of you).
Goodnight and life isn’t a road to ruin . but a from a different perspective, a challenging road to the top
It’ll get better. Trust me. 🙂
I may not be your best friend, but I can certainly relate with you more than anybody else.
metal claw is the only good steel type move excadrill have this gen i cant i just simply cant HOW HE DOESNT HAVE IRON HEAD AS AN LEVEL UP MOVE HE HAVE A FREAKING METAL ON HIS HEAD
I KNOW RIGHT?!
THIS IS RIDICULOUS, excadrill was supposed to be my fairy killer, now what i going to use to kill those pesky fairies:(
Can he learn poison jab?
yes, but he doesnt have stab from it well looks like i gonna use a sword dance EQ poison jab rock slide but still i hate gamefreak for giving excadrill any good steel move
Dude you need Aerial Ace
for fighting types, mm yeah poison jab is seriously a waste of a move slot
your only concern would be them pesky Azumarill
i havent seen an azumarill for a long time now, and cofagrigus can deal with him
Well, another free day come and gone without turtqouise, but oh well. Whatever. Goodnight guys!

No this is just a page from the kalos national dex book
Hoenn confirmed……. Wait, no, okay…..
But why the pages starting with Hoenn?
Why not Kalos since it’s the Kalos National Dex Book?
Huh? HUH? ANSWER ME!
PREACH THAT HURNN CONFIRMED SERMON!!!
SINNOH CONFIRMED 😛
Dude CHIll second of all for what you know he could have take a pic if ANY pic, he just likes horn like us 😛
It’s called he took a picture of a page he wanted. It starts with kanto
And because he could have take a pic of ANY pages, he chose where Hoenn begins!
Because game freak likes the dangle a carrot in front of our noses besides it isn’t having any time soon :/
But the bait smells really good!
Have hope where you can grab it.
I’ve never seen so much Hoenn Confirmed in one picture.
HHHHHUUUUURRRRRRRRNNNNNN
I’ll try to translate it, gimme a couple of minutes. 😀
Hoenn is soon to be confirmed
Ok, it’s a Hoenn TEASE.
EDIT: That was wrong. Lemme fix that translation BRB.
ShinyXatu said it says 719 animals
719 species! “Nindori” April represent!
See attached Pokemon X&Y public Pokemon illustration “huge map” (I think this is the japanese name for Hoenn) species. I love this content. (?) We have already recorded 719 species in the National Picture Book (Pokedex)!
Oh, I translated it with Google Translate and it said that symbol meant animals, my bad.
Actually… “animals” is also correct. That symbol is a count for small animals.
719 “biki” = 719 small animals
But loosely translated based on the context, it is species/kinds.
Oh, very cool! I learned a little Japanese today.
the real question is… what does 719 mean?? Is something happening on July 19th? Thee announcement maybe?
719 known Pokemon, including Diancie.
ahhh thats where it threw me off then!!
I looked on Google Translate and it said “719 animals” so there ya go 😛
LOOL go to bed!
Homework and dinner say otherwise.
what time is it where you live?
8:05 and tomorrow is a late-start day.
ahh its 11:29 here -_-
719 district! “Nindori” April represent!
See attached Pokemon X&Y public Pokemon Illustration “huge map” (HOENN) species. (to be continued)
It’s really fun doing the Fakemon for you, but I doubt I want to do more than I already did. Consider those 2 my gifts to you. I hope your project meets its completion one day. Good night. 🙂
Well I’m done for the night. I have a test tomorrow so I’ll see you after that, G’night.
Awkward moment if they give Silcoon & Casoon Mega Evolutions instead of Beautifly & Dustox XD
Oh the quietness of the Nighttime
i’ve been trying to trade u shiny sandshrew and u keep avoiding lol
0_0
Heavy as thrilled as I may be to receive a genuine Shiny Sandshrew from you
I cannot humbly accept your offer without you accepting my Challenge!
1 on 1
Your Mega Latios Vs one of mine
This. Is. Gonna. Be. Good.
You can probably guess who i’d choose for a 1 on 1
Is it Rock/Ground type? XD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trTy_EffPeY
Ground/Rock actually
Eh you say tomato I say potato…wait
Taco Chimichanga
The Battle Video would be exactly like the Joy Vs Forrest if he was using Latias
The Megas look the same, it counts XD
I’d know…
But still Rhyperior and me will not go down without a fight!
Good luck in that battle, and may you earn that shiny Sandslash with power!
He may have speed, but Rhyperior has strength and endurance!
I’ll want to see the Battle Video if it’s a good battle…
(never done Battle Video before but why not start?)
Eh it might even come down to a single attack each but regardless the reason behind the fight makes it more dramatic
Right, and that’s a very smart decision. Instead of saying that you got the Sandslash for free, you could say that you earned it battling against a Mega Latios. It just sounds more victorious.
Rhyperior will be ready!
…
Where is Heavy anyways?
Left right after he responded to me, I reckon.
I’m definitely down. Sorry I didn’t see this sooner disqus is being weird for me.
Alright the rules are simple
2 Pokemon Enter
1 will be victorious
Whoops, I guess I’m getting auto-moderated for fixing my translation too much. BRB! 🙂
Moderated? O_o
Yeah I think I trigged something automatic in Disqus. Now both translation posts say “your comment is awaiting moderation”.
Oh, that’s happened to me before. Give it a bit of time and things should be good.
Reposting to test:
Junichi Masuda’s post says:
719 species! “Nindori” April (something)
See attached Pokemon X&Y public Pokemon illustration “huge map” (edit: this means “catalogue”, not “Hoenn”) of species. I love this content. (?) We have already recorded 719 species in the National Picture Book (Pokedex)!
The green box says:
National Picture Book (Pokedex) No. 252 to 386
Hoenn region Pokemon (135 kinds)
Bring it on Earthen!!!! I’m ready to flood your core!!
*Crack Knuckles*
My Core Burns with the searing Righteous Blaze of Determination!!!
XD
i had to switch out a pokemon specially for you.
U have to only use Latios
how dare you try and get a sneak peak there in the battle XD
*whisper* Dessstinnny Booonndddd
*runs off laughing manically*
lmao no – he had 1 pokemon in the team preview -_- rhyperior of course
Duhhhh I said 1 on 1
lmao oh I didn’t notice that
sry!!
Nah Destiny Bond’s a cowards way out
It worked pretty well against a Mega Latios.
*cough*
Nah
Brute Strength works for me
that sounded a little vulgar -_-
I check the 6IV Sableye I left at the Day Care for MM, and its level was 82. *sigh*
I switched it out to another Sableye, hoping this one will parent the shiny that I sought after. 🙂
so i cleared my chrome settings and logged out of disques and signed back and now comments are reloading … yay back to Norman.
Not sure if pun…
yeah.. norman is the normal type trainer so i always say norman XD
hurnn confirmed!!
The only Gen 3 game I’ve played is FireRed (picked Bulbasaur ironically.) So I’ve never played true Hoenn, that’s why I want a 3DS remake of Hoenn.
oh… my…. you didn’t… just say … that…
LETS RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
choice scarf rhyperior -_-
My Rhyperior don’t need a Scarf!
But not too much.
I hate you.
No you know i’m your buddy!
Your Big Ol’ Chubby Buddy!
XD
I saved the Battle
yeah but they won’t let you show it to anyone cause GF are crappy and detect that an illegal pokemon was used XD
Should have used Destiny Bond.
LMAO what is it with you and destiny bond?
Hilarity.
Most would think Gengar carries Focus Blast instead of Destiny Bond.
I would like to use Mega Banette cause of prankster destiny bond.
http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120109204615/pokemon/images/4/42/Palmer's_Rhyperior_Mega_Horn.png
yeah this summed up the battle.
I surfed…
he survived with focus sash.
Megahorned
1KO’d.
See, this is why I carry Destiny Bond, when something I know I can’t beat, just use it and make even ground.
Heheheh “Ground”
Oh yeah, you were right Heavy, the stylus I lost on the bus was still there when I retrieved it earlier. 😀
holy…. 😛 see pretty amazing huh.. I was so relieved when I found my earbuds on the bus.
The funny thing is that I couldn’t find it when I first enter the bus. I fell asleep for awhile, and when I woke up (it was a long bus ride to school), it was magically there, the place where I thoroughly looked at. I guess it was rolling around until the bus stopped.
What the heck happened since I left? xD
Earthen survived with focus sash.. mega horned my mega latios to its grave.
I saw that coming 😉
I thought he was going for choice scarf XD
Fair assumption XD
I hate using scarves
I was going to use a Assault Vest but knew he was going for Surf
and by the way it has 3 egg moves … good thing about gen 6 is that u can erase egg moves and reteach them… (referring to the sandshrew)
and She’s Beautiful
and now I has the Bragging rights that I fought Mega Latios and won!
This is for you, then. (refresh)
That’s me every morning! XD
He used surf
Focus Sash
Megahorn
Earthen winz
Calculus?
Sounds like fun. But I have to wait until senior year.
It’s not fun. At all. I’m going to die.
Don’t die.
Chico Time must go on.
You’re right. I shall persevere and take the F. But we can have Chico Time afterwards!
Hey, at least it’s not a…well, it’s not…uhm…
F is pretty bad.
OMG Igneous you have never played a Hoenn game 0_0
Shhh!
Gen 3 yes, Hoenn no.
I want a fresh start!
I wouldn’t confess that here if I were you. I mean maybe now is okay considering most are already off but, that’s almost like a sin.
I’m still gasping.. Oh if Dija would hear of this.
Shhhh….
He’d create the next Kyogre vs. Groundon if he heard this.
I could play it with Rom and such, but I’m too lazy to. I already know the story and such, but I want to wait until remake for a fresh start.
don’t bother with the rom… just wait for the remake.. you did right. it’ll be even better.
Ahh its going to be even more amazing for you then.
That’s precisely why I want to wait.
I thought that was obvious since I said Turtwig was my first ever starter.
And this isn’t the first time I said this…
Somebody buy this poor man a Gameboy Advance and Emerald!
I have a DS lite with the GBA port… I played FireRed on it…
I want to wait for the remake! >.< (If there will be one)
Junichi Masuda’s Twitter post is either an evil tease or a hint at remakes. You can’t just randomly pick the beginning of the Hoenn Dex and say it was random.
That’s what I thought when I first saw it.
Pokemon Ruby Y and Sapphire X.
Or something.
I’ve been saying Ruby X and Sapphire Y for months now (almost the same thing), so it must be true. (or not)
Oh, was that pic directly from Masuda? 0_o
Yes, from his official Twitter account. Hard to deny.
Maybe he purposely chose those pages to get your hopes up.
Can you imagine how hard this site will crash if and when the remakes are announced?
The time leading up to X and Y’s release was the best year of my life thanks to PokeJungle. I can’t wait for it to happen again. 😀
“Hoenn remake… now with newly discovered Pokemon!”
Fan boys and girls worldwide instantaneously fainted.
HOLY CRAP. YOU’RE GENIUS.
GEN 7 IN HOENN.
WTF DIDN’T I THINK OF THAT.
Here’s to another great time ’till release! 😀
