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 :).

Just wanted to stop by and leave you guys some trivia before I go:
Kalos ties with Hoenn for the the largest amount of towns and cities of the six main regions, at 16.. 🙂
oddly enough Kalos is the only region that lacks a department store.
But Sinnoh has quality 😉
And music! 😀

LOL. I was hoping someone would say “HURNN CONFIRMED”
KALLERS CUNFURMED
SINNUR CONFIRMED XD
hey ppl i was just wondering if anyone has or knows someone with a FS that has phantrump in it..

Sinnoh is the only region of the main series games that has more than five letters in its name, having six
SINNOH. I’m listneing to twinleaf right now. DEM FEELS.
i posted the entire ost below 😀
I cliced on a random spot. xD
And Unova is the only region to have a name change issue.
What?
i think he means from japanese to american versions
??
It has different name in all different languages. This was done on purpose to emphasis on United States’ diversity.
ah…..
Can anyone give me hatchin power?
Do you use your own?
I’m still missing spdef power. I would get it, but right now I’m hatching as fast as I can.
I can!

No Steel? Steel is refined Earth….
Yeah that too also on a very estranged relation I can use Grass types

I really don’t have one. my Least Favorite is Olympia and I don’t know why. I just don’t like her.
I liked Marlon. Don’t know why. Probably because I pictured him with a Jamaican accent and he swims off after you talk to him.
I loved his Gym…Elevator music FTW!
Yes ikr!?
I always thought of him as a stereotypical stoner character :p
1.) Giovanni
2.) Clair
3.) Wallace/Juan
4.) Volkner
5.) Marlon XD
6.) Clemont
Go Marlon!
Why do Gym Leaders in the anime sometimes never say they are the gym leader, if i was a gym leader i would go around telling everyone that i am the gym leader!
Eh it’s giving the theme that Gym Leaders can live normal lives other then their commitments to the Pokemon League
Pssshhh if i was a gym leader i would be high class
And where would you find time for the High Society Crap your royal Wormness
Uh sometime in the day idk when
What about your challengers?
I woukld wipe the floor with them with my fairy types
And what about the one’s who beat you
and the one’s next in line?
If they beat they will get a badge and next in line get a battle they won’t forget
If I was a Gym Leader, I would hide from people. So their biggest challenge is to find me, and even bigger challenge is to beat me. XD
If I were a Gym Leader, i’d most likely have my trainers look for me way underground since I love treasure hunting!
If i was a gym leader every person that enter my City is getting told that i am a gym leader
I can see a large flashing sign that reads
“WURMPLE IS THE GYM LEADER”
Yeaa yup thats me
“Yup! Please come and face me before you grind so I won’t get my butt whooped!” XD jk
Mainly i think due to the fact that in the anime their activities past being Gym Leaders are focused on more so than in the games such as Roxanne and Candice being teachers, Misty (and her sisters) being performers, Erika owning a perfume store, Viola being a photographer etc. They tend to be more fleshed out in the anime although not always….i thought Chuck was very rushed in the anime out of everybody. I liked it when gym leaders had a recurring role or a mini arc such as Clair and Candice.
I’m back with shorter hair! 😀
*feathers
It’s on my head so I’ll just stick with hair 😛
Selfie Sunday.
Nuh uh bruh.
Okay maybe later.
😛
my face is better concealed…
I still remember what you look like. XD
Same. Though some of you have seen it….
Hey Xatu your favorite pokemon?
Is Xatu your favorite pokemon?
Yes, and Deoxys. 😀
Deoxys? First form changing Pkmn. I do love Hoenn…
It’s so simple in design yet has 4 separate forms and a nice color scheme. And it’s an alien.
Well castform was ,………..
Well, yeah, I guess.
Who would’ve guessed….
Hey Wurmple is not favorite pokemon
I know it’s just an ironic screenname…
Then y pray tell is your name even Wurmple
I didn’t have a choice of what i would be
So Xatu… Any way I could get some of those Xatu ribs?
I can smuggle some out of Mother Xatu’s basement…for $50,000
Do you take that in Poke?
I believe it’s 5,000 Poke per one American dollar. If you have that much.
Hmmm… So that’s… carry the 3… multiply by 7… More than I can afford… 🙁
OR you can get them for free if you sign up for the Xatu Royalty Program.
Tell me more…
30% of the proceeds of anything you ever buy, ever, for the next 50 years go to the Mother Xatu Memorial Fund.
Hmph. Can that also be in Poke?
Yes, yes it can.
And what if I buy nothing? Oh, wait.
Bingo 😛
Well, you don’t need food in Pkmn games to survive… Maybe I could figure out a way to get into the game…. But then I won’t need these ribs… Hmmm…
And wait. When would I get these ribs?
Priority 2-Day shipping to any of the six regions.
Surely there are more than 7, though. What about Almia? I’m there now… (not really)
Those regions are a subset of Metal Magne-ton Industries…we don’t like them very much.
Yeah… Mainstream ftw!
Pic.
Pic.
PIC.
I got a female piplup 😀 sadly not shiny
Awesome piplup is timid 😀
Can anyone link me to a fairly simple official pokemon background/wallpaper?? All I can find are really complicated ones and I’m trying to something with one.
Have you try Google?
I cant tell if they are official or not. :/
EARTHEN before i forget:
You need to get a set date for the PJL
Ugh . . .If this turtwig thing doesnt end soon. . .
Someone can take your spot if you are too busy with that, would you like that?
*cough*
RICOLA
??
Ha! Lolz… XD
Not really, I pushed for this spot, and I dont plan to back down. BTW Lickitung said I have extra time since I’m e4
Like seriously though we need to know when to get our teams ready and when others should get their teams ready.And then we can all the gym leaders could be online that day so people can challenge us
I’ll set a date when I can talk to all the Gym Leaders and check their teams and have them Pass the Pentagon Check
Pentagon Check?
All Pkmn from Kalos.
Yeah I have zero tolerance towards Hacking so all teams need to pass a Hack Check
Will we have to trade them too you and back?
No, I just want none of the League’s Pokemon to be a result of Hacking
How will this work?
Correction what are we doing?
Pictures?
No it would give away teams
But it’s a Gym Leader meeting, why would that matters?
Where is this being held?
Why asking me? I’m not part of this. XD
you are a Zekrom i just figured…
WHY DO PEOPLE NOT RECOGNIZE ZEKROM FOR WHAT IT IS?!?
… what are you
Zekrom is my profile avatar.
I was just saying that people don’t know that right away.
So what are you?
I’m a human, hopefully.
With Zekrom as my representative.
Oh I thought it was Black Kyurem…
Trust?
(Sigh) I don’t really have any other way….
I would believe most of them. Just hope that they’re honest…
I dont have my team yet. . . I’m sorry, but I didnt thinkthe turtwig thing would take this long. . . . 🙁
You might have to delay it…
Licky said I have extra time.
Not that much it could take someone as fast as two days to beat all the gyms and plus Earthen has a set date for the pentagon check
I dont know what to do . . . I need this turtwig asap, but I need th team too.
You have a limited amount of time for the league and you have unlimited amount of time for the league…
unlimited amount of time for the Turtwig*
Why can’t I get the IV’s I need! ;_;
What are you breeding?
I’m breeding a top secret project. 😛
Ah right. Good luck
My Excadrill can easily Break your little Toy!
My toy?
Whoopsie
Wrong Person
Oh. lol
I bet it’s Klinklang.
Donphan.
Would anyone like to battle, before I start MMing?
Does anybody know how many pages the magazine will contain?
You should know. You’re the Xatu here.
Hey now XD
Did you cut too far into your head with the haircut? Lost your mind powers?
There may have been a slight scissor accident…
Ow. Do you need an Audino?
How about Chansey or Blissey?
Maybe all three.
Ooh that’s bad… You need… A new Pkmn called Band-aid!
3 3/5 pages
Yesssssssss!!!! 6IV’s of the Pokemon I’m breeding!!! 😀 😀
Neat my Scrafty and Gallade have 6IVs!
Always wanted to use Scrafty competitively but I’m scared of the fairies….
My Charizard, Donphan, Scolipede, Eelektross, Darmanitan and Gligar are 6IVs… (That are fully trained)
My treecko.rhyhorn.tynamo,snorunt,chimchar,turtwig and friends are 6iv …yet i dont battle XD
I have a _____ with 6 IVs!
My ___ are 6 Ivs!
And that would be…Cherubi?
No, but Cherubi is adorable.
Cherubi is underrated, because you can’t use it in battle xD
But it tastes delicious!! :3
I prefer mine with as a side for Milotic filet.
My shiny Milotic doesn’t appreciate that. ;_;
D:
:(((
Ooh with Arbok tail roasted on the side!? To die for…
Oh you mean the Donphan? Oh no it was klingklang right? *hint hint*
The world may never know…
XD If I guess will you tell me?
If we battle! ;D
Ha yeah!
The world will eventually know I’m assuming.
