We opened sign-ups for our PokéJungle Tournament 2014 (or PJT ‘14, as we’re going to call it!) two days ago and within 24 hours all initial competitor slots were filled! We’re incredibly excited to see so many of you want to take part in our tournament and we can’t wait until we kick start off the first round.
Stand-in Sign-ups
It’s expected that a few of our competitors will have to drop out due to unforeseen circumstances, because of that we’re offering 10 more of our readers a chance to get in. The sign-ups below are for stand-in competitors, while it’s not guaranteed anyone who signs up for a stand-in position we’ll get to participate in the tournament, you’ll be our first port of call should we need more players. There will be 10 slots available for stand-in players, and should we require one of you to take part in the tournament we will randomly select names from the list to fill tournament slots.
Stand-in sign-ups should be completed using the form below, but please remember spaces are limited! Since closing sign-ups we’ve had two spots freed up, which means we’re actually offering the first two stand-on sign-ups the final two places in our tournament, so act fast!
[spoiler][/spoiler]
Confirmed Competitors
Though everyone who signed-up to the tournament has been given a place, we thought it best to display a list of competitors who have successfully gained, that can be found below! If any of you wish to withdraw from the tournament we will be providing a withdrawal form nearer the start of the tournament. Of course, you can also contact us in any other way beforehand.
Tournament Rules
Perhaps most importantly for this post, we’ve decided to share the first revision of our Official Tournament Rules. For the most part these will be the final rules we use in the tournament, though we’re still making adjustments here and there to perfectly tailor them. If after reading them you no longer wish to partake, that’s absolutely fine and as we said above: let us know and we will withdraw you from the tournament.
The PokéJungle Summer 2014 Tournament will use a rule set that has been modified from the VGC ‘14 Season Official rules. All players taking part in the tournament are required to abide by all rules set out below. Anyone found breaking them will be disqualified immediately. As well as following these rules players are expected to conduct themselves with common courtesy before, during and after the battle period.
Players will be responsible for arranging when a battle will take place, although we will provide platforms for you to do so. After the battle both players must report the results of the battle. We ask that all players save their battles in their Vs. Recorder so that it can be used for confirmation of battle results if a dispute occurs.
Pokémon
When choosing Pokémon to take part in the PokéJungle Tournament, it’s important they all conform to our rules for entry, as seen below.
- All Pokémon must be legitimately obtainable in Pokémon X & Y. We are allowing transferring of Pokémon from older games through Poké Transporter
- The following Pokémon are banned: Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Celebi, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Jirachi, Deoxys, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Phione, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus, Victini, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Keldeo, Meloetta, Genesect, Xerneas, Yveltal and Zygarde.
- Species Clause: No two Pokémon can share the same Pokédex number
- Two or more Pokémon cannot have the same nickname in a team
- Pokémon cannot be nicknamed using the name of another Pokémon. (For example naming a Sewaddle “Snover”)
- Pokémon able to Mega Evolve are allowed to do so
- Any Pokémon used by players that are above Level 50 will be lowered to Level 50. Pokémon below Level 50 will remain as they are
- Players will be required to use 6 Pokémon throughout the tournament. These Pokémon will remain the same through the entire tournament and cannot be changed.
General
- All matches will be played in the Singles, 6 VS. 6 format
- Item Clause: No two Pokémon can hold the same held item
- Your Pokémon team must remain the same through the entirety of the tournament. No changes are allowed unless we state otherwise
- A disconnection from the battle will result in an automatic forfeit
Again, please remember that these rules for the most part are final, though we are still making adjustments. If you have any questions regarding the rules, or think we’ve got something wrong, please let us know in the comments and we’ll do our best to see to it.

I don’t think shiny Eevee likes me. :/

That’s not nice, lol. xD
Still breeding for that Umbreon :c
Yepp. Sadly. Been pretty busy though, so I haven’t been dedicated.
Well at least you have your 3DS 😛 I’ve mostly been testing stuff out and messing with new set’s. Like a switcheroo Klutz iron ball/ flame orb lopunny
;o
There should be alternate prizes in the tourney based on team creativity or something D:
And is there any way we can vote on the rules? XP
I agree 😀
I think first place should be 1 million dollars
Sorta off topic, but what ssb4 characters do you want to see revealed at e3?
Lets go to chat
Roy
K.
Sorta on topic…
Mewtwo
Why can’t my Murkrow compete in a sky battle but a Ledyba can? This is discrimination.
Laziness! Basically cause Game freak was to lazy to make aerial sprites DESPITE them being flying types
Wow wth. I mean Honchkrow can do it…Murkrow isn’t too much of a stretch
isnt murkrow a flying type -3-?
So is Tropius
i know
and its even mre sad cause a misdreavus can XD
Yeah I know!! Murkrow is better T-T
It can’t? But it’s a Flying Type.
Yeah I don’t understand…it wouldn’t even be too hard to do compared to some of the others. The guy was like “you don’t have any flying types..” and I was like, escu me? Is Murkrow not first in my party?
Life orb Regular Shaymin is really good .3.
Would anyone like to play MK7 on the chat with us?
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to but don’t know if i should
Come on it’ll be fun!
Alright but you know i already punched a hole in the wall today right?
oh my 😡
PGL May international challenge announced! VGC format. Get a free Enigma Berry for just playing one match!
http://nuggetbridge.com/news/2014-international-challenge-may/
I know. For just participating!
Here’s an alternative route the game can follow (refresh)
The gyms are Dragon, Fairy, Poison, Water, Dark, Ghost, Fire, Steel., though I suggest they be reordered as Dragon, Ghost, Poison, Steel, Fire, Fairy, Dark and Water.
I made a neater version
For the town between the first boat ride and Route 2, how about Interlu Town?
You realise you can edit your posts right?
I try to make it easier to reply to. But sorry, if it looks like I’m posting a lot.
And we still need to add some green spots on the map, for extra areas, which we still haven’t decided.
For example, for Flowback falls.
What do you think, @TheNintendoChip:disqus?
umm…You do relise that the city in the corner(pink) Is the league right?
It doesn’t have to be. The connections I made above are an alternative route to Chip’s.
Is @GangplankStyle:disqus here? Do you still need that Genesect?!?! I am so sorry for forgetting DX 1349-5096-5450
Thanks! It’ll be just a tradeback.
I am, but I’m in the office. 🙂 Maybe sometime in 4 hours (from this post).
Playing Y which my brother got me for my birthday. In Lumiose, there’s the trash/garbage guy that you speak with in one of the buildings, what role does he have (if any) in the game…? Anyone know?
No role at all.
I hope it wasn’t too late to enter cause i signed up just now ^^
kinda sucks that item clause is in this D: but aw well, i can work around that XD
Guess who’s home from school trying to catch a mouse! 😀

This is my idea for the names for the cities and towns in the main part of the game. I listed all of the places which are on the main path, and not the places which you access from a route or a city. I also thought of names for each island and peninsula of Zahrre, and for the volcano.

These are the area names (and what’s in it):
METAMORPHIC
PENINSULA- Contempo Town, Meteoris City, Route 1, Route 8, Setback Town,
IGNEOUS
ISLAND- Interlu Town, Graystone Town, Andante Town, Chalcan City, Pendulous
Town, Pokémon League, Routes 2-6,
SEDIMENTARY
ISLAND- Magnetitis City, Zirhine City, Chronose Town, Obsidia City, Shalerode
City, Everflow Town, Routes 10-15, Sediment Peak, Flowback Falls,
EROSION
ISLAND- Erosion Island
HOUR ISLAND-
Volcore City, Route 9, Temporal Volcano
SECONDS
ISLANDS- Triassic Island, Jurassic Island and Cretaceous Island
MINUTE ARCHIPELAGO- Holocene Island, Pleistocene Island, Pliocene Island, Miocene Island, Oligocene Island, Palaeocene Island, Eocene Island, and Cenozoic Island
(contains Eternal Town and Infinity City)
If there’s a comma after it, it means there needs to be more.

So what do you guys think? I need feedback. Also, the Zahrre region needs more diversity, so we need more areas!
Also, I think Chalcan City should be near a swamp, which could be Route 5 itself. Route 12 should be mountainous and Sediment Peak should be a mountain you climb up. Route 12 can have you going up mountainsides. And Obsidia City should be inside Sediment Peak, or under it. And Meteoris City, Magnetitis City, Interlu Town, Route 9 and the Pokemon League should have ports/boathouses
I feel so behind.
I like it though.
Do you feel any of the names should be changed? And what do you think could be added?
Remember, these are just proto-names
umm i dont like the names of the island WAY too generic
islands* and shinynoivern is the prime judgement of this
I know. These are suggestions.
So what are your suggestions?
I’m not mad at you guys or anything
(Plz don’t take this Wrong)
But… I’ve dicieded to make a fangame of my own… (Like Dicie)
But.. Since I’m only 10 (going to turn 11 on Wednesday) could you guys help me bring it to life?
I’ll help in any way possible!
My only skills are drawing sadly XD other than that I’ll try my best
You’re a good friend Wyves.
And Thanks. If I can’t draw something, I’ll tell you. :):):)
I’ll draw the official art work for it digitally if you need me to
Wyves, read my post below
I saw :3 there’s a lot of routes that connect together though, you don’t want people getting confused where to go next unless your blocking roads of and opening them eventually
We’ll block the routes
A good excuse could be that rocks from an eruption is blocking it or ash is covering the area and needs to be repaired
From the volcano? That’s a great idea!
I’m helping. I would have to help even if I didn’t want to
Oh.. And I heard that there was a fight…
I don’t think that’s good…
We’re all brothers and sisters here.
C’mon…. don’t get into anymore fights
I’m not a dark person…
(And I’m afraid of the dark)
So, I present… BRIGHTVOIDSHEDINJA
Oh and also if Steven doesn’t appear in jade jungle I would have a heart attack
Literally all of it is geology xD
Those are just my proto-names. I used a theme of time related words for towns and post game areas, and rocks for major cities and large islands, because we already had Contempo Town and Meteoris Town
I see, I do like it you took the naming theme on board and utilised it a REALLY well
Thanks! I found it harder to namme them without a theme. But these names still aren’t official
@TheNintendoChip, can you alter the map to incorporate a desert? Maybe in the rain shadow of the mountains. After the Fairy gym, maybe
Not to mention if there’s a rain shadow there could be a jungle nearby
It could be called Pokejungle!
XD well the game IS called jade jungle. Surprising there isn’t one, maybe the safari zone? :3
Plot idea:
A rich family who owns half of the region own a daughter who wants to become a trainer and runs away from home, the father decides to go after her using his forces to take her pokemon away from her. You confront him and try to stop him. Eventually he takes her pokemon away and you have to go retrieve them. Turns out he was trying to stop his daughter from going to far because she is the only one who can awaken the legendary pokemons power(that’s the reason why he didn’t want her to be travelling around) she is kidnapped legendary awakes you have to capture it to calm it and you fight him.
It’s unique to the original formula since your rival is part of the main plot not to mention its not the generic teams but a families hired forces
Nice idea, though the first part sounds like what happened with Bianca in the anime
Did Bianca had agents after her xD? But when you think about it Bianca never really ran away from home :/ also time period wise this was after the black and white time line
Sounds like a great plot for a Pokémon Movie! As for a game though, it is unfortunately too complicated to be in the story. Game Freak likes to keep these nice and simple. I like your idea though.
anyone on to battle? c: i wanna test out my new team
I would but you use legendaries ‘n’
whats wrong with legends?
the team doesnt have any lol plus everytime i do fight someone with mini legendaries, they die easily XD i really see no big deal about em, but still. none on the team im using right now
I’ll battle then :3
pretty quiet today o_o
Too quiet.
GG ziia that was really fun!
gg XD lots of your pokemon were all really bulky o.o …
I was trying to get the right moment for my Floatzel xD I use pokemon people wouldn’t dare to use :3
I have improved a lot senpaii
Ziia, Joan on chat wants to battle.
oops! gimme a minute!

Is that Proto Granbull?
I guess so 😛
Just wanted to make a Meg eve/evo for Granbull for lolz
Cool! 🙂
So I heard that Gale of Darkness’ Original Plotline was going to be that Wes was the antagonist the whole time and did everything he could to battle Evas, and become Cipher’s New Boss. WHY THE F*** DIDN’T THEY STICK TO THAT?!?! CAN’T WE HAVE AN ANTAGONIST-PROTAGONIST FOR ONCE?!?!
Never played Gale of Darkness, but Colosseum was awesome! I hated that you had to save at a PC, though.
That is a shame.
