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!

The new site layout is so nice. Brings me to tears. :’)
It will make everyone pay…
Good tears?
Yes, the I saw your face and they’re tears of disgust.
That’s mean, you upset moving, you go through me >:I
I think I’ll be fine. 😛
You forget the great powers I possess.
I love the new site layout. So epic.
Liking the new site layout
Aaaaaand, sign-ups are now closed. It’s possible we’ll re-open them for a short amount of time, but don’t expect it! We’ll keep you all informed.
Rules will also be announced shortly, with confirmation of competitors and stand-ins finalised soon, too!
Also, you best all like the new layout. I was worked like a slave.
Don’t worry, I liek it.
It’s a relief haha 😉
It’s so beautiful :,)
Glad you like it!
I see green and gray everywhere! I like it!
I really actually like grey and green together. I rarely get a chance to use it for my own work though 🙁
So anyone wanna do anything?
I’m digging the new Zygarde Background!
Guys I’ve met my Match!
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/oumonotype-114948747
Hey guys they’re also making a Gen 1 league
Finally finished the basic colour, gotta add some shading so and so, oh and make the outline thicker!
Refresh :3
it looks…o.k
Just feels like offspring of a dragonite and a dunsparce
I thought that’s what it is XD
I have spoilers!!!! Next game will be Pokemon Zero. Mega Zygarde will be shaped like a Zero, it swallows its own tail.
And oh yeah…
http://s30.postimg.org/95rgzgt5d/18284.jpg
How did you figure/find this out???
North mythology. Xerneas is based on the 4 stags (all 4 colors are represented in Xernea’s antlers), Yveltal is the eagle above the tree, and Zygarde is the dragon that lives under ground that eventually becomes large enough to swallow its own tail. Xerneas is shaped like an X, Yveltal is shaped like a Y, Zygarde is shaped like a Z but will also grow long enough to shape itself into a 0. The next game will be a prequel most likely. And Volcanion may have causes the mountain that seperates Kalos and the other region.
Dude Battle me
I don’t have it yet lmao
Awwww
You teaser
and for swallowing it’s own tail isn’t that what (can’t remember who, just going to spitball and say Thor) did that to a Jormungandr to stop it from growing?
Ouroboros, the snake that represents infinity :3
also the Jormungandr
In mythology is was said to grow at infinitum enough to wrap around the world, so a titan shoved its own tail into its own mouth to stop it from growing

So i’ve discovered that Showdown has 1v1s and i have been “Wrecking” everyone
Rock Wrecker?
http://s3.postimg.org/9q9l7im2b/two.jpg
Volcanion for sure, maybe that pond in victory road? After all mist is water particles
Apparently volcanion has a secret power as well. And upon looking, Volcanion/Diancie/Hoopa all have 600 base stats. What if they all 3 get mega’s lmao
It can blow apart a Mountain with steam
But all this Volcanion talk has got me interested
Argh I was a second late
I’m more hype for the new region it keeps talking about.
FUUUUUUUUUU
The secret power is that it can blow away mountains with steam xD
Yeah I have more screens, i think the secret power is the “organ” it talks of having. Some kind of organ that no other Pokemon has in its body 0_0
Steam generator? XD
Also I didn’t read that it had volcanion in it XD
However the victory road is in southern kalos
Kiloude City is in Southern Kalos. I think it made this place.
Yup but the national building part also could mean the pokemon league is, meaning people travel all over the world to get to it :3
must be some kind of unique Flame Sac
omg you’re right 0_0
whats this about “A nation-building…”?
http://s9.postimg.org/uwyyduvtr/one.jpg
Some of its in-game story. Only read if you don’t mind spoiling.
“In order to cause a steam explosion powerful enough to blow up mountains, the Pokemon must have an organ with extremely high temperature that can instantly vaporize water to steam. That kind of organ is unheard of in the ecology of Pokemon, but Volcanion may have it…On the XXth day of the XXth month at the Pokemon Center in Camphrier Town: Interviewed a Trainer who says he witnessed a Pokemon that could be Volcanion when he was stranded in a mountain. According to the Trainer, a huge Pokemon’s shadow appeared suddenly. Two huge armlike limbs that could crush even the land extended from its back, and from their tips, the land extended from its back, and from their tips, something that looked like smoke belched out and made the fog around the Pokemon even thicker. The Trainer said the Pokemon’s shadow slowly disappeared into the fog.”
I’m loving this pokemon even more.
So am I. So much mystery behind it. I wonder if it’ll get its own movie.
I wonder if they’ll put Volcanion and Hoopa in one movie.
0_0
The Biologist in me is highly intrigued
I love reading the part about the “from their tips.. and from their tips”… It’s so biblical XD
Did you hack this? And where is it in game?
Someone on reddit hacked it. And I think in the lumiose news room. He also said he hacked fateful encounter Hoopa but he says it didn’t trigger anything yet and he took it to chamber of emptiness, ghost girl, & lumiose.
And yet it only has a 600 BST.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouroboros
This by any chance? :3
It represents an endless cycle of never ending sequences, so zygarde protects the ‘never ending’ ecology of the area, making it live on. In short a preserver of the natural Eco system
YUSSSS!!!!
Dis too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B6rmungandr
It doesn’t support the role of zygarde a motive, which seems to be eternity or preservation, while ouroboros does extremely well
Pokemon Zero YUUSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I definitely feel a prequel coming. All the “300-3000” years ago mentioned in the game. Then there’s the Lumiose person that went looking for Volcanion for 15 years. And then there’s Dexio & Sina who Sycamore sent out on their journey 2 years ago. All these past references def point towards a prequel.
Mighty is this the place you were talking about? Found it on google XD
https://1-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/vp/image/1382/89/1382890389183.png
Yes
There’s a little port there if you look, or pathway
fkgvsdolgvnsofgnlkfgnkfgmkfmkef YESSSSSSSSS
Again, isn’t much but this is called the ouroboros formula as it resembled the mythical deity.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f8/Historic_Benzene_Formulae_Kekulé_%28original%29.png
Notice how’s it’s hexagonal ;3
nothing showing up 404
link is broken
Refresh it
dude… I’m 90% sure we just unearthed Pokemon Zero lol. I feel positive we about to get it. The hexagonal shape sealed it for me.
:3 what can I say, am I amazing or what?
That’s just benzene. Nothing mythical in itself, but toxic nonetheless.
Nope, but the story behind it explains the hexagons I guess XD
It’s just a little something
Maybe Mega Zygarde will be Ground/Poison.
Still Ground/Dragon. That way its new ability will work like an inverse battle, where ground will be SE against Yveltal and dragon will be SE against Xerneas.
This is why inverse battles can only be done out front of zygarde’s home
So, Zygarde is a hydrocarbon.
The desc that came with the pic
August Kekulé described the eureka moment when he realized the structure of benzene:[11]
I was sitting, writing at my text-book; but the work did not progress; my thoughts were elsewhere. I turned my chair to the fire and dozed. Again the atoms were gamboling before my eyes. This time the smaller groups kept modestly in the background. My mental eye, rendered more acute by the repeated visions of the kind, could now distinguish larger structures of manifold conformation: long rows, sometimes more closely fitted together; all twining and twisting in snake-like motion. But look! What was that? One of the snakes had seized hold of its own tail, and the form whirled mockingly before my eyes. As if by a flash of lightning I awoke; and this time also I spent the rest of the night in working out the consequences of the hypothesis.
Bit weird but yeah, interesting though isn’t it?
Me Lieking da Zygardez Patterns….
So this is what we learned so far about Volcanion
-It is a mythical Pokemon
-it has been eluding humans for about 15 years
-secludes itself in the mountains
-uses smoke, steam and fog to hide from humans
-has a unique super-heating organ unknown to current Pokescience
-is arm like limbs are strong enough to crush land
-might have caused a massive explosion in southern Kalos
-Totally badass and kewl
extremely bad ass. I can see a whole movie based around its organ lol.
I feel it’ll get a guardian role in a movie
Similar to the Regi Trio in Lucario and the mystery of Mew
So Zygarde will be the main star of the movie and Volcanion & Hoopa will be guardians? This is very interesting. I’m already obsessed with Volcanion now I want one soooo bad.
Zygarde vs volcanion since volcanion pretty much destroys everything while zygarde has to be the one fixing it all xD
I don’t think Volcanion is a malicious Pokemon
OOOOH OOOOOH!
WHAT IF Volcanion can’t control it’s steam powers and they build to critical levels capable of mass destruction so it hides in the mountains so it doesn’t hurt anyone!!!!!
It’s like the raichu thing, if it builds up too much it has to release it one way or another. Maybe getting agitated by the build up of energy
So, it’s another one of those misunderstood legendaries like Darkrai? Cool.
Well i’m was saying that if Zygarde gets a major featured film (If he doesn’t I’ll personally see it does *Cracks Knuckles*) but as i was saying, Ash and Co will find themselves on a Mountain and they’ll coincidentally run into Volcanion
I feel Hoopa will get the Telepathy Mythical Pokemon Role, Zygarde will get the Deuteragonist role, while Volcanion kinda doing it’s own thing
Just steam, or mist.
Smoke is produced by burning physical matter, and fog is like mist but different(can’t remember how XD)
it did say smoke somewhere
Where’d you get the Southern Kalos explosion thing from?
Reversal Mountain would have been a good place to find Volcanion (refresh)
as well as Mt. Chimney in 3D hoenn revisit
HURRRN cumfurmed
HHHHHHUUUUUURRRRRNNNNNNNNNNN
With Hoopa in Mt. Pyre XD
More Huuuuurrrrrnnnnn!!!!
And Big Roots in Littleroot Town!!!!
*Cricket Chirps*
………………………. *Silence*
HeAvYmEtAlLaMb: AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!!!!!
ROTLMMMMFAO WOW
Sorry. Haven’t played Hurrn. Don’t no a Thing….
Unova cunfurmed?
Nah, I’m kidding. If only there was some place like this in X and Y.
They were foreshadowing Vocanion the whole time!
Found It! XD (refresh)
Oh my! I can’t believe I didn’t see this before! I must see every iota of pixels from now on!
Hoenn is confirmed and i’m not making this up guys lmao.
Same guy that got up the volcanion screens says there are 3 mega stone placeholders titled “r1” “r2” and “r3″… you know who these are for right?
the regi’s.
MEGA REGI TIME!!!
MY BODY IS REGI!!!
HURRN CUNFURMED!!!
*gasp* I better stop.
or what if it’s for 1 pokemon that gets 3 different mega’s XD
Mega Regigigas 1, 2 and 3.
One is part Ice, one is part Steel and one is part Rock.
And it loses Slow Start, don’t worry.
utter genius. gimme now.
Ask Regi (gigas) XD
I want to see Mega Regirock
I just want a Competitive Regirock
they could very well be 3 different mega evolutions for regigigas, or another pokemon that begins with a R.
I remember I was looking at the source coding of mewtwo poster on the official website long ago and saw it was titled “MewtwoX”…. I tried to tell everyone over at Serebii’s that I think mewtwo will have another form due to the placeholder name… And they were all like “umm no, thats just there to be there. They could’ve used placeholder MewtwoA or MewtwoB if they wanted”…
And then what do you know, it ended up becoming Mewtwo X with another form mewtwo Y being revealed XD . So these placeholders are definitely mega’s but can’t be sure who they are since its just “R”.
OMG Ian I love frostbyte’s theory. Regigigas gets 3 diff mega’s (normal rock, normal steel, normal ice) loses slow start.
The best part is that it loses Slow Start. XD
Lmao definitely. The worst part is that all of its mega’s have a 4x weakness to fighting
Loses Slow Start and Gains Defeatist
it’ll still suck. Pretty much any fighting type move will take it down to orange health activating defeatist XD
It’ll still have a hindrance, they aren’t going to let that beast of a Pokemon have all that power without some kind of prominent flaw
Forgot about that. Maybe they’ll give it a new ability. But it’s OP anyway.
Well it did create the the Golems
(unrelated) Mew Twon ite? it just sounds weird/cool
Mega Mew?
I was referring to how Mewtwoite is pronounced
It sounds like Mew Twon Ite
BTW did you read my Volcanion speculation regarding Steam Eruption?
The only ones possible are Rotom and all the Regis.
omfg I forgot about Rotom. I pray that one doesn’t get a mega. Its great as is.
I’m leaning towards each regi getting one, or regigigas getting 3.
Who knows…
Reggie does, probably.
But for Rotom, there should have been 5 megas, unless they decided to leave out a few forms.
Mega Regis? Ugh. Seems too random. Does this mean Gigas will get one too? That Slow Start needs to go!
Seems fitting to me; They introduced form changes of Thundurus Tornadus Landorus in Gen 5, maybe they want to keep that going in the form of Mega’s in Gen 6.
Regigigas gets 3 mega evolutions obviously. Normal/Rock, Normal/Steel, Normal/Ice
That fighting weakness though…ouch
Ouch. Down to any Mach Punch.
Well seeing as how the regis serve like no purpose at all, they should get megas. Seriously though, what role do they serve?
Exactly this!! And we’ve had them in Gen 4 and Gen 5 as well, so to find them again will be over kill. This time with added mega’s it’ll be worth finding them again
I feel like Hoenn will introduce the Mega’s that will make the competitive scene even more annoying lol.
Only able to mega evolve if both sides has a Pokemon capable of mega evolving, otherwise no Mega Evolving
Everyteam will have Mega Regirock or Mega Registeel on it when hoenn spins around. Set up hazards and troll away..
Use fighting types.
Every gen/game introduces things that alters the metagame in so many ways.
Other things to note:
-He can somehow edit literally any aspect of his save file. He says he cross dressed and put female clothes & hair on his male protagonist.
-Hacked new item “Shalour Sable” into his game, says it works the same as a Full Heal.
Ah, I spent an hour looking for this item after hearing about it from the lady in Lumiose talking about a treat in Shalour.
1. I really hate it when people use gay as an insult. People have become idiots.
2. AHHHHHH even then there’s no games confirmed confirmed yet, I am so eager for the next gamesssssss!!!!!! I’m thinkin Z/Zero this year, as a 30ish dollar DLC that takes gives new things, including Germany, this year, then RSE remakes/sequels in 2015, then I would HOPE for a Pokemom War game that takes place during WWII that takes you through section of all of the regions, trying to stop the war.
Though a game COMPLETLY on war may seem too controversial for pokemon to do 🙁
I mean, it’ll still be a, like, no gun wat, butPokemon sti
Ll needs to aim for an older audience as well.
Can’t be a no guns war with Mega Blastoise around
Though it doesn’t even use it’s cannons xD
Ikr?
Concerning this whole zero thing with zygarde, i vaguely remember something about Zero Hour and the end of wwII being connected
:0 Aggggggg idk how this will all work out in the course of the next few years! Its so complex!
