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 :).

Jame’s the elusive pokemon you see him when he is Mayley~

That article name sounds amazing!
Oh, and who’s James Hurst?
I remember the day Pokejungle first got over 900 comments on an article. It was the first JungleTalk, and it was in the age when we got around 200 comments per article, if it stayed for 3 days.
Hi everyone! I have a science test today, the day we get back from break.
FML.
Ok baiiii!
When does the Art Contest start?
Sorry, end.
Hopefully, The art contest closes sometime after March 31st.
My final exams are coming up and I don’t have any time till March 15th……

Hai!
LORD HELIX HAS RETURNED!!!!!
You mean? No…it’s been 3000 years!
Wait.. Does infiltrator ignore protect?
No
Oh, okay then
I want a new game to be announced soon. PokeJungle is the best place on the Internet when it comes to pre-release speculation and spam.
Tru dat!
How I miss all of the speculation 🙁 They need to announce the next one like right now!
I’ve spent all this time masudaing a murkrow and I’m only now realizing I can’t get heat wave this gen…
So much time… wasted…
Maybe there will be tutors in upomming games?
THE FOSSIAH HAS RETURNED!!!!!
I see what you did there.
I just now understood that joke. XD
If he makes it through the end of the day, I’ll be surprised.
He’ll send to to the endless abyss of eternal torment for your insolence!
I’m just saying. With their track record with new pokemon, Omanyte will have a lot to worry about.
Have you tried asking the Helix?
Education time! I’ll be back in 8 hours.
Just finished XD bai!!!
Hello, anybody getting ready for Spring Break in the next 14 days

Who is yet to ask the Helix?
Here’s the link:

Not sure if it works, though.
I asked the Helix how my day would be tomorrow, and it said “outlook good”
I asked the Almighty Helix “Can I drive my van into your heart” and got UP
Yesterday I asked it if Hurrn would be cunfurmed, and I said “You may rely on it”
I’m currently doing a Wonderlocke in X, I’m doing horrible… My current team is Vivillon, Ninetales, Gible, and Roselia. The fallen are Absol, Flabebe, and Lapras :'((((
PS. Vivillon is my favorite :3
Wondertrade Nuzelocke?
Yup! 😀
Although some give out good Pokemon, there is always a risk for sorry throwaways, like Bashful Nature lvl 3 female Bunnelby, with its highest IV being special attack and the Cheeck Pouch ability. :/
True, but you gotta use what you get… (I honestly just WT a horrible Pokemon again away to see if I get something better, if I don’t I’ll just keep it…)
