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!

Igneous I got a star ferry for you 😀
I’m onlind
Yay! I’m getting online. I will give you a perfect Tirtouga for it. 😀
Awesome :3
Ooh I want a Star Ferry to journey across the galaxy!
XD Just realized NO is an option for the last question.
Got to keep options open.
Les add Maybe thrn! 😀
Followed by “Pass”!
Then “Will I?”
With Starf out of the way, I’m going to look for the Lansat berry! Thank you very much Slippery.
So i keep hearing about some assuming dubbed anime thing on Toonami Attack on Titan is that like a movie or a series?
anyone here a Anime/Manga expert?
Attack on Titan was the big hit anime everyone was talking about in the Spring last year, and now it is FINALLY being dubbed. It’s a series.
Hmmmmmmmm sounds Creepaciting
Although I was traumatized as kid when I watch Spirit Away (No-Face)
I’ll watch the premier an see how it goes
No Face creeped me out, and I saw the movie a few months ago! Have fun watching the premier.
I mean I was like i dunno 8 or 9 and some unemotional phantom just ingesting people and the “ah” sounds just sent chills up my spine
But. You gotta love No Face 😮
He freaked me out as a kid, so much i couldn’t watch any Miyazaki films for about 5 years
I love Studio Ghibli films. They are beautiful and creative movies. But man, was Grave of Fireflies depressing.
Uber and Prosecuter I think.
and ShingekiNoivern ._.
;_; You don’t mention it as much. Oh, also, Dicie said Skiddo was going to be a Gym Leader in JJ? But I thought we already had them planned?
Yeah we never said Skiddo was going to be a gym leader in JJ. Maybe he meant PJL? O.o
and i mean, it was part of my name xD
Was ;_; and I felt stupid cause I thought it meant shiny yet it didnt fit in anywhere with Attack on Titan.
The japanese name for Attack on Titan is Shingeki No Kyojin so having my name as ShingekiNoivern was a pun :3
i know the Japanese name just didnt get it. Anyways night!
Watch it.
I’ll watch the premier and see if i’ll like it
Not making any promises
I recently learned about the Chrysopelea, AKA the “Flying Snake”. We should have one. Yes, I know we have a few snake pokémon already, but one more won’t hurt right? It can either be Poison/Flying, or Poison with Levitate as its ability.
If anybody here have a Lansat berry, let me know, so we can work out a trade, ok? 🙂
There are very few times when I regret not getting into competitive battling. This…is one of those times. However, I shall enjoy hearing the results in the summertime!
try showdown:3
My friend introduced that to me a while ago, I think it could help me with strategizing.
everything started in showdown for me, so who knows maybe for you too
I’ll be playing Pokemon a LOT more if the next game(s) is the Hoenn remake. I was planning on doing two things with X and Y: Completing the entire National Dex for the first time, and becoming a competitive battler. I accomplished one of those two things, but I really didn’t enjoy X that much so…yeah.
I… Guess I might as well do same.
They better post the battle codes! I enjoy watching a battle! (Even though I’m into competitive, I won’t partake.)
I’ll definitely post some codes
Well, there’s always a time to start 🙂 Plus I kinda want to do it as well. But then there’s all pf the originalish movesets and Pkmn and EVs and IVs and the 6IV Ditto… Idk. It’ll take time.
SD is full of bs teams that you will never see with battlers in-game
You’ve got over a month. Plenty of time.
Let’s see if I make it in. I got one team from Battle at the Bay ready for this.
I’m calling Chico out
I’m calling Chico 😉
😉
Too bad, you no have his phone #. #Losing!
And you do?
Ummmmmm no. *sprints away*
Fight me m8.
Okay, I want this to be a clean fight, aigh? No cheating or dirty moves ;). Now, 3, 2, 1, fight!
*Suckerpunch* OHKO.
I hate. Mega Kangachico.
Don’t h8 me. 😡
So uh, in case anyone didnt see, I said I can picture Swampert becoming more swamplike and growing large patched of moss on its back and getting more muddy. There fore resulting in Sap Sipper 🙂 I would probably have a heart attack if this happened. Anyways, I gtg, night everyone!
Goodnight :3
Pokemaster….They will never let Swampert or any Water/Ground Type have Sap Sipper I give you my word as the Greatest Ground Type master
Sap Sipper is a Herbivorous Mammalian exclusive Ability (Excluding Marill and Goomy)
Well i too will be calling it a night too
Peeeace!
I would love to join! But I’m not sure if I’m good enough…
And on a side note my college classes are over, so I’m free!
It doesn’t really matter how good you are, only that you will be available.
I am not very good but I signed up anyway.
Don’t worry. I stink at battling, because I haven’t even completed the game yet, and I joined. My total at the April Friendly was 29-49
I’d also love to join, although my battling skills are… below average.
Probably gonna be the first one out.
I hope that the tournament is in June, as my July and August will be spend in Florida and at reunion parties. 🙂
Oh my gosh I live in Florida! O_O
Orlando?
Naw, Jax.
Ah.
I do. Betch.
…Okay then. 🙂
No, seriously, I do. xD
LOL Might see ya there?
Planning on going anywhere specific in Orlando from July 8th to the 27th, or so?
I can’t make any promises, as I’ll be working this summer. When the time is closer, we’ll see. 😉
Okay. Antipating probably seeing you there. 😀
*mumbles to self* *I hate tourists*
LOL XD
Just don’t come in a Hawaiian shirt with a Mickey Mouse hat and tons of luggage. Also, know where you’re going because I actually see a lot of tourists driving with a map on their lap. Just, don’t let me see you acting like a tourist, :P. Also, there are many nice places here that tourists don’t know about like restaurants or activities, I can hook you up with some nice places if you want. 😛
I won’t come in a Hawaiian shirt with a Mickey Mouse hat, or a lot of luggage. XD
And since I’ve been in Orlando two times prior, I’ll be fine. Also, I don’t use maps 😛
And you can hook me up with some places if you wish. Just know I’ll have my amazing parents there with me. 😀
It’s not like I was going to invite you to a club, lmfao.
I know. Just letting you know.
But we can do that too. I’m down for some action at the club. 😉
I gotchu. 😛
😀
Also ShinyNoivern I told you yesterday that Skiddo the Survivor Fan won a contest and got chosen as Dragon-type Gym Leader, whereas ProsecutorZero got a spot as Gym Trainer.
Here’s what I told you yesterday:
I’ve given up my position in Team Eda as Lead Scientist to SlipperySceptile, and will instead be taking the Team Flora Lead Scientist position, if all right with you.
Skiddo the Survivor Fan was chosen through a contest to be the gym leader of a Dragon-type gym. His three Pokemon, levels, and genders are below, and it is your task to give him a fake, but likable name:
Dratini Female Lv. 17
Bagon Male Lv. 15
Deino Male Lv. 15
ProsecutorZero won an additional contest and would like to be featured in one of the gyms as a trainer.
Also, if the spot for Head of Team Flora is currently vacant, then I can occupy it, if that’s fine with you. Of course, I’ll be moving up from the Lead Scientist position, leaving that open for someone else.
Read this SUPER disturbing creepypasta earlier about Pokemon Red and Green.
(holds teddy bear)
Can’t wait! But is there any way to stop people from secretly exchanging Pokemon?
Like Gardevoir for a different Gardevoir to pass off as their original one. Or can you switch Pokemon on your teams between battles?
Oh hey Jordin 😀
Do you, by any chance, live in Florida?
In VGC and online tournaments they usually lock the battle box.
1. One way for a grassroots tournament to achieve this, is to have participants fill up a Pokemon details form for the tournament organizer (assuming T.O. doesn’t partificpate). It should be down to the EV’s and moves. Any change disqualifies.
2. Another possibility is to allow changing teams between battles outright.
We won’t be participating, so that won’t be a problem!
None of the mods will?
BTW, any news about my… thing?
Mr.Bojingles will I believe, but he won’t be part of the organizing crew.
PJ read all of it, he should give you an answer soon.
Can’t wait 😀
I’ll see you there buddy 😀
indeed 😀
LOL xD A Bit late but saw the comments! So will it be VGC or 6v6 Singles? I’m ready(regi) either way XD
My body is ready XD
*regi XD
6v6 singles
Sweet xD
Well, that’s the tournament. Hope everyone had fun! GG
You never know Chico ;). There maybe a new crown this year and I’m talking to him right now xD
Considering that 6-0 sweep, I doubt it. xDDD
bah it was luck XD
I doubt it, lol. But we’ll see in the tournament. :3
We will >:)
VGC means 4 on 4 Doubles, right?
yup
Regi, some people say you are going to win.
Maple says he can beat me 😉
That’s right, I’m not just some person, I’m the champ.
Says the one who has lost to me 3 times and counting 😉
I’m improving, and you are not. 😀
We’ll see >:)
I’ve gotta see this battle.
I’LL MOP THE FLOOR WITH YOU BUD!
Your Mamoswine will be roasted to perfection on my dinner plate >:)
I don’t think so Tim.
VGC based rules but with a PJ twist.
Plus 6V6
I’ve signed up! And I love the logo.
So, what’s the Swiss format? And is each round going to have different rules?
And do you know when exactly the tournament’s gonna happen?
Swiss is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss-system_tournament
You fight as many people as the number of rounds, but not everyone. There will be tiebreakers in the end to determine standings.
Thanks for clearing that up! I wonder how they’re placing the matchups in the first round. They should seed everyone, but I don’t know how they’re going to do that.
If you get matched up against players your own level, who’s going to play against me?
Not sure, but I think the matchup against “own” level will be during the Swiss, so for example, after the first round, people who got 1 win 0 loss will be more likely to battle other 1 win 0 loss opponents.
Okay, now I get it, but I still don’t know what they’re going to do for Round 1.
Unless there’s seeding (I don’t think there will be any, though), you just fight a randomly chosen opponent in round 1.
I hope there is seeding.
Are we going to have to lock our Battle Box? Like, give you mods all the details? Or will we be allowed to switch Pokémon, like rotate our teams? And if it’s being locked, when will that be?
I doubt PJN have battle box locking devices, so it’ll probably be filling up forms + honesty system.
I hope they let you register a maximum of 24 Pokémon, so I can rotate my party. Have you signed up?
I have signed up, I just have to see if I make it in the participants. Heh heh heh.
Official VGC tournaments only register 6 (the size of the battle box) anyway. VGC is doubles, 4 on 4.
Good luck!
And may the crits be ever in your favor 🙂
We were mulling over the idea of letting you have a pool of party to pick from and enter. However, we’ve decided everyone will have 6 Pokémon that remain the same throughout the tournament. So, as Gangplank Style said, it’ll be you guys submitting to us and us having trust that you won’t change.
Well, the rotating party idea would be cool….
It would, but… Just but…
I have 24 Pokémon I could choose from. And what if someone spoils one of someone else’s party members to everyone?
Then they get disqualified. And they ruin it for everyone.
So, will there be seeding for Round 1?
I’m not sure yet…
This site works excellent on my new Kindle Fire. I signed up. Doesn’t mean I will last long or rank highly though.
I thought you were banned?
I don’t know. Was I?
I banned you one thousand years ago.
My time is up I guess.
Chance of redemption.
Okay, whose idea was it to give Groudon rest because it makes it almost impossible to catch. Ps: I gave up on soft reseting mewtwo. I fail. And I officially hate Groudon.
Use Spite after it rests 🙁
I didn’t have any ghost types! :/ But I caught it in a heavy ball pretty easily after having to restart several times..
I signed up and also *Refresh*
I wonder what happened to TPP.
They are trying to get DPPT working :3
ZOMG!!!!!
