PJT ‘14 — Dates & Competitive Announcements

PokéJungle Tournament 2014 Dates

It’s been over a week since we last gave you all updates on the PokéJungle Tournament. When we published that last update we told ourselves that within two weeks of it being live we’d decide on a time period for the tournament to run.

Up until now we’ve only declared that’ll it would take place over summer. Today however, we can give you a slightly (and sadly only very slightly) narrower time frame: Mid-July through Mid-August. This period means the majority of competitors are able to easily arrange and partake in battle, thanks to summer break.

Within another two weeks from now we plan to have a firm start and finish date, as well as dates for individual round periods. We will also announce the final formats and layouts for each round in the next update; we’ve made some changes since we initially announced them!

Competitive Announcements

Sticking with the competitive side of news, yesterday a handful of Competitions were announced for International and Japanese territories, running over the course of the year.

Think Fast Competition: Single Battle — June 6th – June 8th

Halloween Party* — Fall

*Final names are currently unannounced.

  1. Djjaily hoenn fact of awesomness #1: (name pending)
    Hoenn was the only game out of the first 4 gens to have an E4 theme completely different from the gym leader theme.

    And they both turned out awesome! 😀
    and yes, this will be a daily thing.

  10. O.k for PokeChronicles this is what we need
    a Realm where it takes place in
    Kingdoms both ally and opposing (how about 6)
    a Hub
    and Areas leading up to the kingdom (like forest trail-Desert flats-ect)
    The Protagonists (Group)
    Supporting Characters (Kings, merchants, helping characters, a “go-to guy”)
    Antagonists (so far a Hydreigon)
    A Plot
    and anything else we can cram into it!

    • The world is dying… Pokémon are starting to lose their ability to use “moves.” To use moves, they require the natural energy around them, but it seems that mysterious energy is diminishing. Without such energy, and moves (you make a name for a generalization of moves), the world will regress back to a wild, survival of the fittest kind of world. There is still hope, however. Legend said it that should the world starts to decay, chosen heroes must seek the [items here] guarded by [names here]. But to use [item here], they must sacrifice something they love.

    • I could be an evil dude or that person you were saying who helps the protags… :3
      Like, maybe a Mismagius? It could fit both roles (because Mismagius can make people go into a dream state, like that one anime episode)

  11. Completely forgot about Get TV tomorrow lol. Hopefully we get some gameplay footage. I want to see the overworld.

  12. Alright Ziia i’m proposing that we all start a Pokemon Fantasy Themed Adventure to both do and Write
    Its basically Mystery Dungeon mixed with D&D elements
    We play as a Pokemon Hero an choose a Class and we try to stop the Dark Empire
    Example I’ll be a Rhyperior Barbarian and TheHipster is a Delphox Mage

    Reply
  13. So we need a name for the Good King’s Kingdom
    (this’ll serve as the Hub for the quest)
    The Good King is a Dragonite
    his advisory is a Slowking and the Captain of the Guard is a Aegislash
    And some kind of Sage is a Gardevoir
    its the typical Pokemon Village ruled by a King in the castle

  14. it’s quiet here. i thought that more people would be nocturnal, but then i remember that most of the people here have school. xD

  15. Alright I’m heading out
    But before I go
    what sounds better
    PokeChronicles or Dungeons and Dragon Types

  16. I came up with name ideas for gaming shows that will pop up on my YouTube channel. I take a lot of inspiration from Caddicarus and the upcoming Rerez (he only has 8K, look him up), so I want to try this format sometime.

    “Valiant Variety” and “One-Stop Xatu Shop”

    …I don’t even have a working mic or editing software. Oh well! I’ll try to fix it tomorrow. Now I departeth!

  17. The best thing about DPPt was the updated day/night mechanic. You might call the game boring, but they sure are the most relaxing games of them all, especially at night.

    I surely hope they sneak the time mechanic back in for ORAS. It was the biggest thing missing in Gen III.

  18. What I did like about Hoenn’s plot is how both aqua and magma thought that there plot’s would both work perfectly, but when they coincided, there world almost gets torn apart. I also liked how Archie became nice in the end, but Maxie stays evil. It kept it interesting. And I think Archie made the best appearance in the anime. And we can not forget how awesome the aqua vs magma anime episode was.
    All-through-all, both teams had a meaningful goal in which they both try to benefit from, but ends up in a catastrophic mess (first in-game cut-scene btw) that has one of the most beautiful cutscenes ever created. And also, their anime episodes were amazing. It also had a very a,azngly put-together plot in the games, which are what I’m most excited for.
    So don’t bash aqua/magma, I think they deserve to be called “Awesome”

    • I thought at the end of Emerald they both realise the error of their ways.
      All teams have had very interesting characters/leaders
      Maxie – the cool, chilled out gentlemen like figure.
      Archie – the almost mirror image, more outspoken, more devious in a way.
      I loved how these 2 were portrayed as almost opposites in the anime episode.

      Cyrus – he was just irrevocably insane…nuff said.

      N – another calm, cool character. He has mission but wants a peaceful way to resolve it.
      Ghetsis – another almost insane character. Wants to separate people from pokemon and doesn’t care how he goes about it.

      Lysandre – someone you can’t help but feel sorry for. He realises mankind’s biggest mistake and in an attempt to rectify it he has to become the bad guy.

  19. I say they show us a clip of an outline of Rayquaza flying across the sky, then it pans down and shows 3Dish Sootopolis. I’d be cool with that.

  20. Today’s going to be a loooong day
    My bastard Cousin is staying with us (again)
    I have the Gamer’s Club (which i have to drag him to)
    Then a Job Interview (Shop Rite)
    Then i have to level a Priest (both leveling and in Herbalism and inscription)
    then i have to wait until Pokemon Get TV
    Then either hype and anticipation and or rage to deal with based on the outcome

    Wish me luck

          Reply
          • My reason was it was the first Pokemon i ever caught to actually evolve through Happiness
            in the past i tried to get a Crobat in Sapphire but it never worked and i was touched with Buneary/Lopunny i made a vow to keep it with me
            But that was the time i taught it nothing but special attacks when it was Adamant
            Bounce
            Solarbeam
            Blizzard
            Thunder
            But he did beat Cynthia’s Milotic and won the the game for me

      • Do you know what was really weird
        Flint and I had the exact same Pokemon during Pearl
        Infernape
        Lopunny

    I’ll be back to check out the stream, but I got a presentation due Tuesday. I can’t wait until the last second.

  28. Ms.Juniper ‘s logic: Hey i just met you and this is crazy but here is a masterball so go catch something crazy

  29. Serena is so useless in the anime! I just hope the up-coming Mega Arc molds her into a solid character. Oh yeah, won’t be long till Bonnie figures out she likes Ash!

    Reply
  30. Guys i made it back! My phone lost reception. Anyways, i got it down to Dialga vs Milotic and finished it with Thunder! Yay i beat the game!

    Reply
  31. I managed to get all the Silver Symbols back in Emerald but never managed the gold ones. Hopefully the battle frontier will return in ORAS and I can complete my quest.

    Reply
  32. Ummm well i had a theory
    I have a big feeling the mew and Deoxys Events will occur again in the Sevii island as Event items will make comeback in some way. This could Introduce Mega Mew and Mega Deoxys to the series. Mega Mew could have similar Appearnce to Mewtwo look and Mega Deoxys could mabye look like a combination of his forms. but thiss just a theory a Skiddo theoy!( get it)

  33. I really hope they turn Route 119 into a proper rain forest. I would love it if we could hear random rain drops, and ninja boys jumping out of trees to challenge us.
    Imagine rainforest based Pokemon jumping out at us from bushes.

    Reply
  34. I like when I type in Route 119 in google…Bulbapedia and Serebii are the top 2 results, whereas real life bus routes are lower down…

  35. Why ORAS will be awesome in two words:

    Route. Themes.

    HOENN ROUTE THEMES ARE BEAUTIFUL YOU CAN ACTUALLY HEAR THE MESSAGE THEY’RE GETTING ACROSS WITH THE MUSIC!!!!! :DDDDDD
    but yeah, route themes are a huge part of r/s and it’s what made them , in my opinion, the best sounding games EVAR! 😀

  36. “Dawn’s Quilava is the eighth Pokémon to follow the pattern of premiering in a movie and then being captured by one of the main characters. In all cases, the premiered Pokémon is not the same character as the one caught, just the same species.” What will be the ninth? 😀
