UPDATE: Sign-ups are now CLOSED, though it’s possible we’ll open them for a short amount of time in the coming days. Thank you to everyone who has signed-up so far. We’ll be announcing the Official Rules soon. Confirmed competitors will also be announced shortly, as well as those on the waiting list.
***
As you hopefully all remember we announced last year that we would be holding a network-wide PokéJungle tournament. We opened sign-ups and had an amazing response. However, we didn’t quite feel we were ready to begin the tournament, there were things we hadn’t planned for and dozens of loopholes. Now, we’re ready to announce our tournament again, and open sign-ups right off the bat.
The PokéJungle Tournament 2014 will take place during a few weeks over summer this year, after which our first Champion will be announced. Due to the tournament running over several weeks we ask that you only sign up if you know for certain you’ll be available to take part in each round. At the time of writing we haven’t fully decided how many rounds there will be, but each round will run for a total of one week.
Using the Swiss format for battling trainers will gain points across each round, until all rounds are complete and the Champion decided. The Swiss format for battling allows us to match players of similar skills level in battles. Of course we’re open to suggestions if you don’t feel this format works best.
It is important that if you wish to take part, you fill the form below with correct information. If we believe the information you have provided is incorrect we will sadly have to disqualify you from the tournament. If you wish to back out of the tournament after signing up we will provide a form later for you to fill out, it’s likely back outs will have to count as a forfeit. Sign-ups spots are limited. Once filled we will allow a further 10 people to sign-up and act as back-up competitors should another back out before the first round is completed Official tournament rules, requirements and information will be published soon. Rules can be expected to be a slight alteration of the Official VGC rules. Prizes and awards are yet to be decided.
As always if you have and questions of queries please feel free to contact us or chat with us in the comments or site chat!

Damn Dude, that logo is snazzy
Darn
😉 Let it go… 😀
Lol will do
Dat edit
First
Shouldn’t you guys list the rules of the tournament?
NO. NEVER.
Ok sorry. *walks into the corner*
Maybe… They’re pretty standard.
Oh I didn’t mean for me. I am not taking part
Should also say if you have any questions, please either ask them here or on Twitter. We’ll do our best to answer! 🙂
Good Luck
Thank you Maple! 😀
I know this is off-topic.
But…
listen to the Gen 3 surf theme, without the wingulls, and without the tentacools.
The result?
Pure beauty.

Oh and also I can't participate in the tournament :,(
I love these kind of remixes!
Reorchestrated? 😀
Yup! Especially this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQmS-v57FnI
THAT’S BEAUTIFUL!! 😀
It made me euphoric!
SInce gen 3 was made on an old system, when it’s brought onto a newer sound system, it sounds beautiful! 😀
It sounds like it was meant to sound like
I wonder what it will sound like in the remakes!
If they make the emerald remake on the wii u, I can only imagine the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced in my whole life.
That’s awesome news, I know lots of people here have already gained some exp in the online battle world, best of luck to those who enter
(Completely ban-able and off topic piece of info, I’m 18 tomorrow, woop woop)
Happy Birthday for tomorrow! Finally old enough to do whatever 18 year-olds can do! 🙂
What 18 year olds can do:
-Attend college
-do adult things, such as eat cheese with wine, but without the wine because you’re not aloud to drink until you’re 21
that’s all I can think of.
What 18 year olds actually do:
-Same shit as before
Reece is from England. He can drink at 18. 😉
Now he can have the full cheese-tasting experience! 😀
Totally, like legally enter those competitions that I’ve been entering since I was like 14…..wait who said that?
Thanks Moving!
Happy bday for tomorrow 🙂 hope you get some nice prezzies 😉
Hopefully (I believe my brother is getting me Y….cause I told him too)
Thank you!
Hope you got Y 🙂 happy bday offically. This is a personalised message from simkenno 😛 🙂
oh thats awesome sadly i wont sign-up because of time but good luck to everyone entering and what rules are you gioing to follow VGC smogon or no rules?
Oooh….no rules sounds interesting. Everything goes.
minimize stockpile ominous wind baton pass drifblim for the fun wooh
And not just one…but 6 of them. Where’s your god now?
Meanwhile at Smogon HQ:
Head of Smogon: *Shudders*
Head Of Smogon’s friend: “What?”
Head of Smogon: “I’m sensing a disturbance in the mega-lucario ban universe…”
Haha, there are rules! They’re mostly the same as VGC rules, just a little different.
oh I CAN SPAM SPORE AND DOUBLE TEAM YES
please no
this!
lmfao ok i wont even participate dont worry
Why was double team banned I mean it’s the other person’s fault for not being prepared for it!
When it comes to stuff like Mega Gengar, Mega Blaziken, Swagger Klefki, I don’t get why their banned because like you said… its the other teams fault if they’re not prepared for it. But here’s the things, those can be countered.
What can’t be countered is evasion clause. Minimize and Double Team are quite simply, hell, and I think they should be removed from the Poke games lol.
Swagger Klefki is just as bad as Double Team in my opinion. I’ve never had any problems with it.
But i once saw a Purloin beat an entire Uber team with Swagger, Foul Play, Thunder-wave and Substitute.
3 of my loses in the Spring Friendly was to Prankster Purrloin that ran Swagger, Foul Play, Substitute, & Assist (which would turn into Spore every single time). I hated it so much that I had to train one XD
If you can’t beat them, join them.
lmao hey!
I am so spamming double team in this tournament if its allowed. just to prove to everyone how OP it is….
Just use coil or Hone claws lol it’s too bad no one uses them competitively.
Coil Zygarde will be everywhere now.
Will there be a way that we can watch this tournement, at least semi finals and final?
maybe the battle videos can be recorded and sent to someone that wants to make a video.
Live? I don’t think so. Battle videos we ask that players keep should any dispute come up. So I expect they’ll happily upload those for you!
Yes I mean afterwards, but something not so late. Thank you :3
Definitely joining the tournament; can’t wait!
I have entered. Hopefully if it takes place after my exams then I will be in, but if not I may need to withdraw.
Ahh… Welp, I hope you get to make it in then 😉
Tournament Hype!!!1!!!111
Good luck everyone and may the odds be forever in your favour. 😉
Thanks! XD
Awesome, glad this is finally gonna happen! Winner should get to battle one of the staff members as a prize. Maybe there can also be a prize for whoever does the worst? (That way I have a chance :P) Also nice job on the logo moving, very cool!
You can have a Magikarp
How about 6?
Great logo indeed!! Forgot to mention that lol. And hope to cross paths with ya in the tourny rocket XD
I hope so too! I’m almost done with the team I’m gonna use, complete shiny team! When it’s all done we need to have a full shiny battle 🙂
Your avatar is beautiful.
Thank you! 😀
Can’t wait for this tournament to begin! Good luck everyone!
Just close registration now, I’ve already won XD haha
I don’t think so Tim.
Tim ?
Maple
Syrup
someone is messing with the wrong person
fite me 1v1 jirachi vs carbinkle.
*carbink whoops
i dont use carbink competitive he has amazing defense but no recovery
It looks like a pokemon that would have recover…
he is genderless so no wish for him
winning without competition is not really winning.
Lol my milotic conquers all. 😛
I’ll bring Toxicroak then…
Yeah well…. You smell yeah… I got you. Ha. 😛 XD jk
Can we change Pokemon?
I think we should get to choose something like 12 Pokemon for the tournament, and then mix and match for each battle….
That’s a good idea. Hopefully we get something like that
I think this is a bad idea, some people would try to find out what other people are using.
MOVING
You said to guess what it was i guess and you said No
I was right >:(
Um, so shouldn’t we see the rules before wee join?
Here’s the first (un)official tournament poster!
http://i.imgur.com/MjJ2YlW.png
also the random ice beam freezes and the flinches.
may the paraflinch always works
May the confusion always hit.
May the hax be ever in your favor :/
*BS
😮 I’m gonna make one of these.
May the low accuracy be ever in your favor.
Change “BE EVER” to “NEVER BE” XD
Would join but i would probably get destroyed ._. xD
E. Quake destroys my entire team before I get to blink. This is why I don’t like Wifi Battling.
and some people have OP OU teams ._.
You get matched up with players your own level.
On an unrelated note. http://37.media.tumblr.com/a6f239ea8fc7e5b0df01341b4486624c/tumblr_n4abxneZIq1r2en1ko1_1280.jpg
LOL.
whats the point of having pokemon when you have THAT big bad party of six?
I don’t see why he doesn’t just use that party to destroy the gym leaders.
NO.
*Me*
Oh my
I am so freakin’ excited! I’m done with all major events that prevented my attendance to previous tournaments, so I can finally enter for real!
Cant wait to defeat you!
OH! And, BTW…. GRENINJA, MEOWSTIC, AND KLEFKI SAY HI.
Ask them how they’re doing 😀
Raichu Zoroark and Blaziken say Hi
my my my, you two have some pretty friendly pokemon.
They also asked how’s the family
They must want them Pokepuffs. Nice try!
I’m sorry. It appears I can’t see you past my MAT BLOCK.
You all look rather pink….Must be the tint of CRAFTY SHIELD AND DOUBLE SCREENS OBSCURING MAI VIEW.
*You*
