Guest Submission: Baton Pass It On

Today we bring you an article by our very own RocketClauncher. It was his submission for the PJM Writing Contest and the rules stated that everyone who didn’t win could get a second chance. So here it is!

Baton Pass It On

Pokémon is timeless. Who knew back in the 90’s that this whole thing would take off? What started as some fancy animals that could change forms and learn different fighting moves is now a complex system of monsters that vary in endless ways. We started out with Scratches, Mega Punches, Double Kicks, and Bites. Nowadays, we have Parting Shots, Dazzling Gleams, Oblivion Wings, and more. We have gone from brown colored rats to aerodynamic blue frogs that sport their tongues as scarfs. No matter how much the series has changed and will continue to change, there is one thing that is certain: we aren’t gonna play these games forever. Now stick with me, I know that may sound a tad depressing, but it’s the truth. Some of us will get that big job, move far away, and start a family. Others will stay where they are and go on with their normal lives. Some will stay in their mother’s basements (won’t mention any names). Nonetheless, we will eventually part our ways with the series, giving up Pokémon. I know that may sound unfathomable, but trust me, I was obsessed with toy trains when I was younger, but you don’t see me playing with them anymore do you? Okay maybe a little from time to time but you get my point. Eventually we will take a broad look at our journeys as Pokémon masters, admiring all the fun times we had with our friends. It seems like a sad ending, but in reality it will be filled with bliss. The only thing better than playing the series is getting to see the next generation play it. We will have left our mark, and will pass it on.

NO WAY! I’M NEVER GONNA STOP PLAYING! POKEMON FOR LIFE!

Here, here. The first stage, denial, is the hardest. We’ll get through it together though. I’m not saying Pokémon will be something that’s locked away in the depths of your memory. Nostalgia, despite fueling “genwunners”, is a beautiful thing. Imagine a situation, years from now, where something as simple as hearing a Pokémon song, or starting up that Gameboy Color again, could give you chills. It strikes a nerve in you like a crisp harp string, sending a sweet melody throughout your soul. How about that, huh? Who knew giving up Pokémon could promote such imagery? It’s not all bad. Imagine telling your children about all the adventures you went on, all the people you met. No matter how you think about it, you will always be remembered as a Pokémon master. You’re in the Hall of Fame.

Okay…I guess I’ll accept that I will retire from Pokémon…

Good, I’ve convinced you. I’m sure you are wondering what’s next. Is there a retirement ceremony? Do I have to sign up? Is Sudowoodo really a Rock Type? Take it slow now, no need to rush your fate. If I were you, I would stick it out as much as you want. I gave up Pokémon after Ruby and Sapphire, but here I am, writing an article about it. You never know what will happen. I’m sure one day; I’ll truly have that moment. I will look back at everything, appreciate all that I was able to do, and let it go. It won’t be a long thought out process, it won’t be sad or painful, so don’t worry. One day I will happen to walk into the store, having not really paid attention to Pokémon as much as I used to. I will walk up to the gaming section and spot the latest Pokémon game or spinoff. I’ll pause for about half a second, and then come to peace. I don’t really need that. I think I’ve enjoyed it all so much; it’s time to let someone else experience everything I did. I’ll see a little kid walk up with his mom, grab the game, and purchase it. I’ll take a few seconds to look over and smile. All of the great things I have felt from a Pokémon game…this kid gets to feel for the very first time. If that’s not reassurance, I don’t know what is. I’m expecting my retirement to go something like that. But, maybe not.

So here’s my story, the story of my retirement from Pokémon:

It was the middle of March, 2013. I had just recently found out that there would be a new Pokémon game: Pokémon X and Y. I had been disappointed by Diamond and Pearl, so really didn’t play Black and White until shortly before the release of X and Y. However, Black and White really got me pretty pumped up. I loved them. For the first time in a while, I was excited about a new Pokémon game. There was a brief moment where I thought to myself, maybe I should stop now? I wanted to end on a good note. After a little thought, I decided to get a new Pikachu 3DS XL, and that I would maybe get the new Pokémon games when they came out. So off I went, to the store.

I walked over to the gaming aisle, and saw one of the Pikachu 3DS XL systems left. Just as I walked to the counter, I overheard a kid asking his mom if they had any Pikachu ones left. I turned and immediately realized the right thing to do. I bent down and told the little guy that he could have mine. I thought this way my glorious moment. I had passed on the wonderful gift of Pokémon. He was ecstatic. I smiled and he told his mom that he wanted to pick a game. As I started walking away I saw what game he had picked.

Digimon.

Who am I kidding? We can’t ever retire. These little punks will never appreciate Pokémon like we do.

    "Hey guys I've been on pokejungle before but this is my first account and i'm really happy I got it 😀 (Oh and I'm ShinyLickitung because my first shiny in X was a Lickitung yesterday)"

    My first comment ^

    You sharts have gotten Miley Cyrus here, where he/she/it is now. This bundle of crazy.

    I would like to thank Dae, who just got tied with PJ for my favorite mods.

  10. How i came to Pokejungle:
    I was a little kid and remember finding it either by google search or something serebii related.xD I would look up articles every now and then but i never posted anything. I rarely ever went on PJN. Then around X and Y i remember finding Zephyrsonic’s smash streams and seeing that they were on Pokejungle which i remembered so i looked up pokejungle. Made posts every now and then as “Mike” with a big red R on a Black Background for Team Rocket. Eventually i started using it more and became Shiny Noivern because ShinyXatu’s name was awesome xD

  11. Oh my. My first comment was awfully ironic.

    When replying to someone wanting to buy a DSi:

    If only I had known it would apply to the 3DS too…

      • You’re only asking me, which puts me in a tough position, because I honestly don’t want to do 800 trades (I have them in order, so it would be a trade, trade back ordeal). Get help from others, the GTS, etc first, THEN ask me and I can fill in the missing spots for each dex. Sorry 🙁

        Reply
      • Sorry Skiddo 🙁 When you fill up your dex more, then I’ll help you. I don’t know why you haven’t been asking others for help =/ Make lists of who you need and post it here 🙂 People will help you!

  18. There I was craving new info for the upcoming games and like the TM Flash I stumbled across Pokejungle dun dun dunn xD I remember coming here around March,I found PJN when I was searching pokemon on google to see if anything new came up,And thinking what this site could be about I clicked a link for pokejungle I thought the site looked cool and I enjoyed how they made separate articles for news I didn’t end up making an account until October because I didn’t want to be spoiled even more when the new pokemon were leaking xD my first comment was something about banning myself until I played because I felt guilty for looking at the leaks early 🙂 and ever since I don’t regret joining because I met so many amazing people that I come to care for as friends I love this website <3 Rocket you did a splendid job with this article simply awesome the end was hilarious XD there was a lot of feeling in your writing and was enjoyable to read 🙂

  20. OFF TOPIC, but Pokémon related: I feel so sorry for people who didn’t use Florges and were thinking about using her in the future, since the Eternal Floette seems to be more superior.

  21. So, i decided to be productive and make some prototype badges for The Ghost, Fairy, and Poison gyms. The One that looks like a circle with something going to the lower left is a wolf howling at the moon. Fairy types are really connected to the moon.
    The Ghost badge is supposed to be a ghost coming out of a grave. The other Ghost one is a keyhole to represent mystery. The other fairy badge is a wing of a sort. The Poison ones are kind of like vials in which poisonous bubbles/smoke is coming out of.

    • the only flaw I see in the system is this:
      Say I want a grass e4 member (just an example)
      in the 1st poll, I choose grass. It loses to Electric.
      in the 2nd poll, I choose grass again. It loses to Flying.
      in the 3rd poll. I choose grass, yet again. It loses to Ice.
      in the 4th poll, I choose grass one last time. Let’s say it finally wins.
      So really, im only voting 1/4 times, because I wasted my 3 votes on one that’s going to lose (and I voted the same type every time)

      I think it would have been better to list all the possible types and let people vote 4 times, one for each type they want. The top 4 most voted ones win. If someone votes more than once or votes for 5 types, you wouldn’t count one of their votes..

      Reply
        • I thought you could ;-; (or you could see who voted for what)
          oh well..i guess if the number of total votes wasn’t divisible by four you would know

  28. Ok so Adventure Time recap (keep in mind that this whole episode was shown in a circle with random crap happening on the outside of the circle on the screen, trying to show what the Time Travel device was like):

    – PB makes a Time Travel device that LSP wants to use to go back to get Brad back
    – PB says it doesn’t work like that
    – LSP meets Johnny from high school at the tavern
    – She falls in love with him
    – Johnny tries to get a job within the castle
    – He gets the job, and has to chew gum from under a table if something happens within the castle
    – LSP comes in with the Time Travel device and sends Johnny back to the past so they can love each other in High School
    – A truck with no driver crashes into the castle, but “Manfreed’s got it”
    – In the tavern, PB tells LSP that Johnny disappeared do to a malfunction with the molecules within the Time Travel device
    – LSP flips and says PB never felt true love

    The episode ends with PB taking a seat in the tavern and pouring herself some Chocolate Syrup.

    • If today’s kids are willing to stick with it and see it beyond surface cuteness, who knows, we might have a future VGC contender here.

      I feel old, but I don’t think I’ll ever be through with Pokemon. To nitpick, maybe younger kids will eventually have the experience and Pokemon knowledge if they put their minds into it.

The whole plot revolving around a man and his special Floette, having two exclusive abilities, one exclusive move (Light of ruin) and another one being exclusive to its line and Sunflora (Flower Sheild) even Grassy and Misty terrain seem like moves that were tailor made for the flabebe line.. Wouldn’t be surprised if Mega Florges would be in the first batch of Kalos Megas

    • 6th gen made it much easier to get 5x31iv’s, ev train and get to lv50… I don’t think there’s a good excuse to not do it here. Plus, Hidden Powers are weaker than before, so they aren’t used much for coverage anymore unless it’s vs. a 4x weakness.

      So there’s not much to worry about this time. It probably takes a week tops to get a 6-member team ready for online battling.

      • It would be better if you could still get Hidden Abilities for the Majority Avialable in the Dream world not Obtainable in X and Y, and if Abilities could be bred between Species with the Same Ability… for instance a Protean Kecleon and a Greninja having a small chance of having a Froakie with Protean Hatch….. So many Hidden Abilities unavailable due to Closed Dream World and The Friend Safari Being Extremely Hard For People who don’t have friends in real life since it Neglects to have a button to send a friend request and instead you have to battle or trade like twice or something…

          • Well, she can’t take a joke and is making bad decisions. That’s all on her. She would just be a bad influence. You’re going to high school next year, right? You’ll make some awesome new friends

          • If she thinks that drugs is the way to go. Her life is f’d and there is nothing you can do about that. People have choices in life.

            Also, not everyone in high school does drugs. I’m in my Junior year of high school. I have never drank or smoked or done any drugs and don’t plan on doing so.

I just really wanted to wait ’til Xatu got home to post my 1,000th comment (Highest commenter is a big respectable role, man. Plus you’re a good guy.). So now I have a lot to say.

      • Ah, man… ;D
        I love how much respect the people at PokeJungle have for each other, and the fact that I am somehow a part of that 😀 My real life is full of faux friendships compared to this XD

        • Yeah. You were the first comment I saw on here and felt a sense of respect. But like I said above, “People are idiot.” (Most on here aren’t idiots.)

          • Ha yep. —-> I missed the whole Spongebill/Bills Cypher thing earlier. I got the just, but still…

          • Well yes the occasional trolls such as spingebill. But sometimes there are things that people merely say for attention. SOMETIMES. I usually believe and trust what people here say.

          • Same. Hope that pays off. :/ Yeah. Also, I love what you said to Licki earlier. Very true.

          • Thanks. I get that from my mom’s boyfriend. He gives better advice than my own dad.

          • Much like N. He was misunderstood and blinded by team Plasmas good motives that he didn’t realize Ghetsis’ evil agenda.

          • I hate manipulation. That there are people like that out there in the world. Good analogy though 😀

  70. Geez it’s so quiet on here.
    Only Xatu, Goomy, Pokemaster and I .-.

    It’s like Dae went on a banning spree xD

    Guess i should do some homework now >.>

  71. Ok. Here goes the most of it. Goomy, no one hates you. 😀 Licki, you can quote me on this. “People are idiots.” It’s true. If everyone does do drugs like you say, then you’re being the better person by saying NO and shunning them. Respect.

          • Maybe…maybe not. I danced to Gangnam Style – okay, I’m now breaching the informational barrier XD

          • What is darkness? Is the absence of color able to be seen by blind people, as there are no receptors? Is “black” seen differently by each person? Are black and white in direct correlation with each other? These are questions…obviously. XD

          • I’ve been told black and white are shades. Of what?! If you shade black a lot it’ll turn white (maybe…) and if you shade white a lot it’ll turn black!

          • If you really think about it, space is giant spheres of rocky and watery terrains or concentrated gases floating in a finite amount of space. It’s like dust in a dark room. That’s what I think…space can be explained.

          • Space is infinite though. There are more galaxies and (Distortion) Worlds. And then what is time, may I ask? (I love these smart conversations.)

          • Infinity is not a number in itself, it’s simply an infinitely long list of numbers that you can choose from to determine…well, anything. 6 is part of infinity, and so is 237,684,349,393.915. However, nothing is truly infinite, because without a limit things cannot be measured. People live for approximately 70 to 100 years on average with natural conditions, that is a finite fact. The sun will explode in 2 billion years, that is a finite amount of time. If the sun is in the universe, and it’s time can expire, than the universe itself can expire…we just haven’t been able to measure its lifetime yet. Give it approximately 100 years and great advancements will be made.

            As for time…well, time is a measure of length, in a way. The space between two given points in history, whether they be significant or insignificant, not considering physical distance, but mental lag time to get there. Whew, someone give me a Nobel Prize plz.

          • Hmph. Well, “Most people think time is a strict progression of cause to effect. But actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it’s more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey… Stuff.”

          • I’ve been to a Bat and Bar Mitzvah. One had a truck full of TV’s to play video games on. Four hours beating everyone at Halo 4. The other had a dance party thing. Both pretty cool.

  72. Gonna go for now to play Telltale games’ the Walking Dead Season Two Episode 2 , See ya! Will probably be back in few hours.

  73. I’m so glad I got Defog on Drifloon before my PokeBank free trial expires.
    I say that the transporting box part should be free.

    I’m guessing by either today or tomorrow it runs out so scrounge up a Credit card or a EShop thing and get to it!

  78. I was watching Miley on Ellen today and this came to mind:
    This is why she is my role model.
    She is not afraid of what the future holds in store for her.
    She doesn’t care what others think.
    She says whatever the heck she wants to say.
    She does what she wants all day erryday.

  81. I need to do a shiny Purrloin gijinka for a commission, but I’m not quite sure what to do for it. I was thinking about making it male, since most Purrloin gijinkas are female.

  82. 1. Wait, time out. Nintendo’s including Lucario in SSB4. Mega? 2. I want Nindendo/GF to wait to make a great Pkmn game, but then again, I’ll be doing nothing (Pkmn related) for a year. I say they should have people working on Z (requires a little modification from X/Y) and most working on Raging Ruby/Surging Sapphire.

    Reply
  83. If Ruby and Sapphire do get a remake I hope there’s an option to use sprites. I prefer them over models actually.

    Reply
    • I really liked the graphics in X/Y. I hope soon they’ll expand to full 3D and have your Pkmn follow you, and when you battle everything’ll stay the same and it zooms in on the battle, so you can still see everything going on around you.

  85. So, just downloaded and finished telltale games the walking dead season two episode two. It was amazing. Something major happened in which a character returned and made me tear up. People died. New villain. Lots of tenseness in the decision making. If you have not played it. I HIGHLY recommend it, the writing is some powerful stuff.

  89. I thought of some awesome new abilities:
    Cold Feet: On Ice-types, it makes the battleground cold if it is in contact with the ground, and causes a 10% chance of every other Pokémon on the battlefield freezing. It also slows down the hatching of eggs. On other types, it has the same effect as Run Away.
    Insulate: Grants immunity to special Fire and Electric-type moves.
    Hyperactive: Doubles speed after being hit by a physical move. Also grants immunity to the sleep condition after being hit by a physical move.

  90. Just on the topic of giving up on Pokemon. I recently played both the video games and the TCG but I gave up on the TCG side of Pokemon last year after the last BW2 set. The TCG side of Pokemon is incredibly fun and unlike in the video games, I get to chat to that person face to face but, it’s incredibly expensive as I’m spending over $100 to get a booster box with 36 packs every three months and knowing that most of those cards won’t be usable and then I spend about maybe another $100 getting the stuff like card sleeves and the proper cards like energy cards and th

    • I said goodbye to the TCG more than 10 years ago.. the last set I bought was the first ever Gen 3 expansion… then all those years passed…. then last month I was in target and saw froakie/chespin theme decks and bought them cause they looked cool. Now I’m back into the TCG lol..

      Reply
      • Wow, nice. Have fun with it but try to remember that unlike the video games, the TCG, booster packs and battles alike, a large amount of it relies on luck and, unfortunately, the more money you put into it, the luckier you may be.
