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 why isn’t Draining Kiss a physical move?
Because sucking is a special motion as it sucks the energy from you while kissing.
Like this? 😡
Imagine :O With 😡 inside
DENIED
D’:
No. (refresh)
All of my yes.
I love you.
😡
:O
No…XDXD
LOL
That’s too sexy for Disqus.
Bring it to the chat lovebirds.
It’s kinda like how Razor Leaf is physical.
There’s a guy named BJ on the show I’m watching.
:3
I still have seven No’s left, do you want them?
When you make sense, then I will talk to you.
For now you are irrelevant.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
There.
YesYesYesYesYesYesYesYes!
You have one more Yes! NO! NOOOOO!
That was a reference and I’m sorry you didn’t understand it.
Why do you hate me.
That’s how life works.
*closes browser*
BS.
Reference to?
You would know already if you knew.
We need a Red Panda Pokemon.
And a Dolphin one.
And a Minotaur.
Manticore…
*sigh*
Spinda is technically a red panda.
No.
That’s nothing close to a racoon. (Red Panda are not panda, despite the name.)
Spinda can come off as a fainted rabbit.
LMAO AT THE LAST PATT
A drunk rabbit…
We need a Red Panda Pokemon asap
Need dat dolphin
We’ve already reached 60 comments. Is that healthy?
Very.
No there is usually around 1,000 with the article out at this time.
Where is everyone?
I guess still upset about everything >.> But it’s healthy for what we’ve been through.
Yup!
Everyone’s away studying or being more social *cough* Djja *cough*
Nothing wrong with that.
I know. I only joined on the wknd with not many tests coming up so…
MAI BBY GONE DX
Gone gone gone
Only temporairily…
Sometimes we get up to Two thousand
Anyone from the PJL with their team ready that I can challenge?
I was doing battles earlier :/
I was doing HW earlier 🙁
Maybe we can battle Friday?
Ok!
Yayz!
But do you want to do a full team battle or 3 on 3?
Full 🙂
Ok!
No revealing the teams though, I’m watching you.
Ok 😛
I’m working on it, but my nuzlocke will be taking up most of my time.
Can we 4v4?
Ok 🙂
I’ll challenge you in 5 mins!
Ok 😀
PM me on chat? 😛
Ok!!!
My current nuzlocke (been programming for most of the day, not much time to nuzlocke.)

Am I the only one pissed off with the amount of minecraft and pokemon clones there are on the app store?
I just ignore them and move on with my life
And Flappy Bird…
What surprise me more is that people would actually download them.
I never deleted mine…
Same here! Ooooh somewhat off topic…
Me either.
It’s worth a lot now.
Yeah but i’d never sell my phone
NO I HATE THEM.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
PJL UPDATE PLEASE READ!
I need Badge names for:
British Bits
Timo
I need award names for:
ZiiaChan
Regi
MasterSneasle
Please make this ASAP, it will be easier for Earthen.
Thank you.
Nothing else will be discussed or responded to at this time, as we are working things out.
Has Timo even been on recently?
Yes.
Yesterday.
Really? Darn, I missed him. He’s one of the 3 main guys I haven’t got to meet. Him, Djja, and Dicie who I know has been on lately but not at the same times.
so the 2 brits need badges?
Seems like it.
Whenever I check someone’s upvotes (Ex: Igneous) it says it was 1 Guest Vote.
They watch over us.
I sense a dark presence (other than Govnah) around me…
I thought it was a glitch, but it’s not. I’ll upvote you, then check.
It says it on mine too! At least for my laptop..
Huh… That was me.
I think it is just a glitch. You have to refresh to see who upvoted.
Whoa you’re right… Creepy….
I can’t check who upvoted. When I hover over it, nothing comes up.
You have to upvote them in order to do so.
Pretty sure its always been like that….its takes a while to show who liked a comment..and until then it always just said guests
I love Mega Venusaur so much. Such an underrated Pokemon.
Underrated my Ass
He’s the second most used Mega
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!? Holy shizznizz
That Sheer Bulk to begin with and with Thick Fat forget it
Giga Drain, Toxic, Leech Seed
Das why I love it ;3
First Gengar?
Lucario?
Kangaskhan, more like.
Really Charizard Y
High Speed
UNFRIGGINBALEVABLE Sp. Attack
Drought
Air Slash
Solarbeam
This is so true. It’s a monster.
I’m surprised Smogon didn’t Ban this over Mega Lucario
Honestly, it’s because of “Stealth Rocks” that makes it unban-worthy. But I would see it being banned 😛
Ziia and me…
We are guilty of using it. 😛
I know I haven’t battled in a while, but me too. X3
You should be
It really is. With the addition of Petal Blizzard, it’s amazing. It could’ve been designed better, though.
Eh I like the design. It looks like a natural evolution of the Venusaur family.
Yeah, but some flowers and an extended tree thing doesn’t really stand out.
Well, one to their own I guess 🙂
I see them all the Time to notice them….
With TC’s Account up and running I got bumped back to number 3…
I saw that… Wait, it wasn’t running before?
I dunno something weird…I don’t pry
Ok. Yeah, you were at 2 and then TC was just there.
Yeah he was originally the Top Commentor
I was once even number 13 to 7 now to Number 3
Wow… I’m like 30 probably.
I don’t even know how someone is able to comment 10000+ times in only 4 months
Your not?
It was nice to see Caitlin again today, just so she could check back in. I had the strangest feeling of nostalgia when I saw her name and profile picture.
I had no idea who she was but I do now.
either a Ladyfriend or the Caitlin from Platinum Battle Frontier, or Unova Elite Four
I hope you remembered Caitlin.
Eh You know me the Quiet Brainiacs ain’t my type
Also I dislike Psychic Types
I may be floating in the endless void of space, but I will find you, and I will kill you.
as said by Xatu Nielson
BRING IT OWN FANCY BIRD!!!!
BLARGHARGHLEEEEEN
NARRRGTHAAARRRGGGGGHH!!!!
Yup! It’s been a really long time since she was last on! But I don’t remember her commenting much. :/
I looked at her profile, and the last time she commented was 4 MONTHS ago. And she didn’t comment much even before that. But she was part of the Jungle in the time when I joined.
Yeah, there are a few people that I want to see back that I haven’t seen for around that long.
Who dat?
She was a part of the Jungle in the time before your time.
That was a better time I presume.
Eh, that’s debatable. XD
Bish!
Congrats @shinyxatu:disqus !
Who is this James Hurst? What if it’s a mod? xD
THANKS NOIVERN! 😀
Today is a celebration of the end of the Olympics, and this!
But who watches the Olympics when you’ve got Pokejungle xD

Ice skating? Yes?
Curling
Dun dun dun! My alternate ego! Oh wait, did I just reveal that!? XD jk

Cool Story Bro
Bye!
And yet another Shiny Xatu…
Why can’t I find Shiny Wobbufett!?!?!
The bullcrap, I call it.
It’s in your safari too lmao.
I’m just gonna go back and hunt for Ivysaur.
Cause we have enough members in our shiny crew xD
It’s us, and Skiddo, and Trapinch, and Gyarados, and etc.
Skiddo is always changing his name and he hasn’t found a shiny skiddo yet ._. Trapinch was before you and I. Who is this Gyarados? xD and does intimidating count? He’s a blue wurmple. Maybe Heavy cause he’s always netting Shinies. Maybe Jordin cause dat Mudkipz. Who knows. Who knows.
I remember when there was 3.
Then there was me.
And Gyarados was only here for one days.
Heavy is a meanie with all his shinies.
And Jordin and Wurmple are variations.
You’ll find it one day….or not
So i went to this store called Cash Traders, they have games and stuffs. They had Pokemon games. I bought Diamond ($25) , Blue Rescue Team ($10) and Explorers of Darkness ($10). Diamond didn’t work, my dad ripped the receipt and threw it away. I told him that he was gonna get tape and fix it or give me $25. He took it out of the trash and fixed the receipt.xD
my dad would do the same thing XD
Throwing it away or digging it out of the trash? xD
digging it up
My dad doesn’t feel regret that way.
I gave him sass xD Atleast i’m getting my $ back.
yay 4 monz
You know how some parents participate in bets with their children and never give in when they lose? that would be my parents. I never get money.
I wish I still had the Play N Trade by the Highway, Dey had all the best stuff also we were friends with the Store’s Family
Also there was a Dominos and 7Eleven…..
They have Play n Trade here!
It’s really small though.
I have to go as far as Babylon
We have it here in town.
Well where do u live
Well that is some information that will stay in secrecy now isn’t it Mr.Pedo.
I thought that was only Star…
Nononon.
He es Brit Pedo Hypno Voice.
So you got discounts? D:
No but we hung out there all the time
It was in Walking Distance
Mine is around a 3-5 minute drive but walking would take me quite a while.
gamestop runs a monopoly where I live unfortunately
I don’t support Gamestop.
I wish I didnt but Im forced to…
Pretty much. It’s either Corrupted Gamestop, Walmart, Target, or Best Buy (Which is kind of far)
best buy lines and parking are unbearable and my walmart smells like a dead cat
Many dead cats scattered around walmart.
I buy from Target or Amazon.
The Gamestop nearby doesn’t carry the good stuff…
Play n Trade always carried N64 and Gameboy Color games
It’s going to snow AGAIN this week.
Reasons why I love/hate NY.
Have you learned anything in the past month, or has school been shut down?
Well we had Winter Break last week, and about 4 snow days, and some holidays…
I have two tests tomorrow, a very important test on Tuesday and a History debate on Wednesday. Us Westerners don’t mess around.
You guys are crazy.
You don’t get break.
My school is hard AND we don’t get break. Guess I’m going to college XD
I have like 5 tests this week but I somehow manage to maintain great averages.
u a psychic type so u smartypants
You are a Stunfisk so you are…flat?

Do you need a rawst berry for that burn?
And over on the east coast I have a lot of homework that I’m not doing. Senioritis is some real ish.

I HATE ALL THE DAMN SNOW I GO TO MEMPHIS 4 A WEEK AND GUESS WHAT MORE SNOW
NY caught up with you.

when I was on the plane today I saw a kid with an Aggron with fire blast thunder and hyper beam
I wanted to yell at him
No es good.
Don’t do drugs k?
*m’kay
Unless you really really want to….
In that case, knock yourself out!
Don’t ever say that again that is terrible.
Don’t joke about that.
Knocking yourself out?
No doing drugs and “knock yourself out” also means go ahead.
That was immature, I apologize.
Alright I can respect that dude
I never encourage anyone to use illegal substances
And i’m sorry if offended you in anyway
Sorry Licki, it won’t happen again :/
I’m the best role model ever!

Drama

It would never work out!
DUN DUNN DUNNN!
:'(
There is another
Total Drama Island
I can’t wait for Season 6
Shame I won’t see the one Contestant that looks exactly like me
I would just like to take a moment to say one thing.
Thank you guys for putting up with my senseless BS since November.
And also, thank you for making me realize what friends actually are:
People who comfort you in times of need, and who are always there for you.
You guys are dreaming awesome.
But my mom is worried that I don’t have friends in real life.
When I told her about you guys, she said those aren’t “real” friends.
Boy was she wrong.
Kill her.
What the actual f.
Then realize TC is a mod
Respect.
😀
I have tons of friends in real life but I make the choice to not spend time with them because of social anxiety. Because that’s what a Xatu does, sit in the same place for a day, thinking about everything at once.
I have Social Anxiety too so I just don’t talk to people.
People just don’t understand what goes on in our heads…we thrive singularly instead of around others.
I can talk to people I have known for a while, but not new people.
And yes, I hate group work and all of that.
No, she was right. I’m just a figment of your imagination. <3
Who are you again?
Your sister.
My sister died.
That’s why I’m in your imagination stupiddddd. ;D
I don’t like to talk about it.
Wait, like for real?
Yup.
;_; I’m so sorry. I didn’t know. It’s happened to a friend of mine. It’s tough. Sorry.
It’s ok lol.
I never met her.
It was a miscarriage.
We’re even less!
Damn right she’s wrong
I mean look at us we’re flipping awesome in a friendly near psychotic way
Well…
Indeed she is wrong. We are fellow Pokemon and pals.
Pokemon don’t exist, so that first part is wrong.
But that second part >>>€
Who gives a crap about what doesn’t exist. Life may not be anything more than an Oculus Rift virtual reality experience of the future. We don’t know anything for certain. So Pokemon are real to us.
That
Was
Deep
So
Deep
This is why I don’t talk to friends.
Because they can’t take a second out of their day to think about themselves.
I don’t have anyone to think about but myself.
I have very few friends i talk to in person on a daily basis xD
I’ve alway thought life might be a really bad Koma dream
And it’s possible. I’m under the belief that everything that can exist, does exist. And I also believe that each of us knows everything, but have to strive to relearn it.
Alt universes, alt realities. I believe that there are parallel realities that are each 1 second ahead and behind each other. How else can you explain Djja Vu
There is no single time. Everything happens at once, and each second creates it’s own alternate universe for each small action creates a different outcome. It’s just the truth.
Everything in life is decision based, there are many paths but the ones we take are the ones that decide our futures. There might just be realities in which we choose different things and have different outcomes.
What the actual f you guys.
You’re having a smart war.
I never get to have philosophical conversations. But I love it!
Go to sleep.
It’s obviously too late for you.
6:32.
Man that’s late for a westerner.
Agreed. My friends who i go to school with are too normal to have convos like that with xD
And this is coming from ShinyXatu.
But how would you get to those realities.
My bby Djja why did he go…
Of course they’re real. We can interact with them can’t we?
“Name one thing that exists independent of your observation. You cannot because such a thing does not exist.” -Azazel. We can observe pokemon, therefore they are real.
If I told my mom about you guys she’d say I was talking to 40 year old perverts. :/
Well, we might be.
I know about 25% percent of you guys are but come on that’s not enough to judge.
Well, there’s the Brit, Xatu, Djja, Dae, etc.
don’t forget Skiddo. he’s always putting the moves n me
Woah there.
I’m only 16 lololol British Brits is the only pervert here 😮
The old stereotype strikes again! And I’m 14. not very threatening. But tall and visibly threatening.
But I’m only 13…
as am i man.
Oh fuck no, FrostByte, do you remember me?
Huh, if she knew me dude, im like the unic pervert here
I am your friend no matter what broseph
You had depression before this and it went away? The power of the Jungle….
Edited that.
So refresh.
I still kept this (Refresh)
Just got Timid Cyndaquil in Blue Rescue Team! who should i choose as my partner? 😮
Bulbasaur
Squirtle
Pikachu
Chikorita
Totodile
Treecko
or Mudkipz?
If you don’t choose Treecko, I’m going to be really really really angry
Don’t choose Treecko.
I was a Treecko
Another reason not to choose Treecko.
xD
Weird I made my Youngest Brother Ryan take the Quiz and he was a Cyndaquil
Odd xD
Oddish :B
Chicorita.
;D
But what if it’s female 😮
Chicorita is genderless.
Noibat duh
Not in mah game D:
