PJT ’14 – Round Dates & Round 1 Match-Ups

A little over two weeks ago we delivered the latest updates on the progression we’re making on the PokéJungle tournament, now it’s time for the next! A little later than we hoped to bring it to you due to some issues behind-the-scenes; better late than never though, right?

PJT ’14 Round Dates

As previously announced, our tournament will run on a Swiss, round-based format. Each play will accumulate point across 5 rounds, with no eliminations until after the fifth round is completed. After the fifth round points will be totalled and the 8 best players will proceed to three elimination rounds until a champion is found. Should there be a tie for places in the final 8 we will ask those with matching point scores to partake in a tie-breaker battle. Our first Champion will be named by the end of August.

Round 1 – July 18  — July 22
Round 2 – July 23 — July 27
Round 3 – July 28 — August 1
Round 4 – August 2 — August 6
Round 5 – August 7 — August 11

Final Elimination Rounds – August 13 onwards

As mentioned previously we have decided on these dates to provide the best timing for our readers and competitors over summer. Should you become unavailable during one of these rounds or unable to complete your battle in time, we will attempt to provide an extension for you to complete it; sadly we can’t shift the entire tournament for one individual, so it’s likely inability to battle will have to result in a forfeit!

Round 1 Match-Ups

In the first round of the tournament match-ups will be completely random, decided by a random name generator. After Round 1 players will be paired with others of a similar ‘skill’ (determined by the number of points you have accumulated). Below are the current match-ups for the first round of the tournament, these are subject to change should people back out.

The match-ups for Round 1 of the tournament can be found below, these are subject to change without notice in advance of the tournament starting; regardless of whether changes occur or not we will provide the match-ups again nearer the tournament starting.

[/spoiler]

Nearer to the tournament starting we’ll be asking all competitors to confirm they can take part across the 5 initial rounds, and calling in reserves to fill the slots of those who are unable to compete. Once the tournament commences articles will provided only for those taking part in battles to arrange battles and declare the results of each battle, we will detail these plans further once Round 1 commences.

As a final note we ask all of our readers to take this opportunity to ask us any question your have about the tournament, or anything related to it. Who knows, you might be able to squeeze some top-secret information out of us before we announce it proper!

  1. This tournament is going to be awesome :3 Although I want to participate I’m still going to enjoy seeing how everyone will do 😀 good luck to all of you ^_^

    Reply
  2. If other readers want to watch what happens, should we have a recap article of our battles with the recorded battle codes?

    Reply
    • Yep. We’re going to ask that all readers record every battle they have anyway, just on the off chance something goes wrong and there’s a dispute.

  3. So I tripped on a stair today and got a swollen ankle…don’t care, Mario Kart 8 is here XD It really hurts though…

    Reply
  4. Moving, I have a question! Did Basti tell you what to “write here”? Or why does he get mentioned in your bio?! And what is the top secret info? And how will the articles provided only for competetors work?

    Reply
    • Ha. No he did not. He helped me out with some stuff the other day while I couldn’t post anything, of course that meant he edited my profile. So he wrote it himself.

      He wishes he was the best person ever! (He’ll probably try tell you otherwise) 😉

      Articles will probably just be that only people who are competing will be allowed to comment. We’ll probably just have to delete others if any are made…

      Top secret info is that I am the Lizard King.

      • 1. LOL Garrett!
        2. Ikr? XD
        3. Okay, understandable. Make sure everyone understands that.

          • LOL Dae 4 Ultimate Dictator of the World 2014.

            Okay, cool!

            Ummmm depends. Will you attack me if I do?

  5. Good luck to all! 😀
    I support you all, some more than others….maybe. You don’t know me 😉
    Anyways, have fun! 😀

  6. So guys we all basically agreed on kalos being kanto 2.0 right? So lets compare: both lets you catch mewtwo, and the regional birds, and then there is the thoery of gen 7 being the region next to kalos right? So what if it is? Like Jhoto and we can vist both regions! Guys. I think we are watching history repeat its selve!

  7. for those of you that have mk8 already the pokejungle community is 4478-2913-5664 made by our own mod NL:3 see ya there

    Reply
      • It’s currently 8 because we don’t want to run for too long, and have people start going back to school/college etc. That said, we MAY change the amount of people who go through into eliminations. We’ve deliberately not set final dates for that yet 😉

        Reply
  8. Guys! My little sister dropped my DS with Pokemon Platinum in it and now the cart has a little opening in it! *Breathing Intensifies*

    Reply
  9. Best of luck to you battlers! just remember, even if you win, somewhere out there someone is better than you! <3

    Reply
  10. Guys lol I remember sitting in my basement playing Platinum. I was Iin the Distortion World and was going sideways the waterfall. Omg anf then Giratina’s shadow! And the music! Can’t wait for 5 years honestly.

    Reply
  11. I 3-starred the 50CC Mushroom and Shell cups just now in my trial run, and the game runs smooth like butter. Also, I see a lot of you guys are rushing through and trying to complete everything. Take your time! Enjoy yourselves and don’t worry about being the very best, like no one ever was. You waited a long time for this experience. 🙂

    • You can’t expect hard core gamers to just take it slow, especially with a Game like Mario Kart
      The Online ranking just makes you want to beat everyone who’s not American

      Reply
    • Well here’s the thing…
      I am rushing because I want to race online 🙂
      I need a lot of parts variety in case I need to change something up.

      Granted, I need to learn the courses well first.

      Reply
    • Well, what if they are unintentionally rushing? Like I was with Kirby Triple Deluxe. Sometimes you are so excited to play, you never notice how fast you’re going, and finish quickly. Although, I just got here, and haven’t bothered to read the past comments, so I could be completely wrong. Anyways, I’m getting MK8 tomorrow, either digitally or in hand 😀

  12. I got way too close to injuring someone today. Luckily my brain was in ‘don’t think first’ mode at the time.

  13. Earthen, wanna register me on Wii U friends list? I’m TCMets17.

    And also, glad to see a set time period and who I’m up against! 😀 This tourney will be fun xD

  14. Guys, idc if you’re socially awkward, you’re all great and would fare fine. Plus, we all know each other and our interests, so it would be easier.

    Reply
  15. What do you guys think the Gen 7 legends theme will be? So far we had:

    1st Gen – Genetics
    2nd Gen – Purity
    3rd Gen – Weather/Land – Sea – Sky
    4th Gen – Time, Space and Antimatter
    5th Gen – Yin & Yang
    6th Gen – Life, Death and Balance/Order

    I think it’ll be cool if we had Reality & Fantasy 0_0

    Reply
  16. If certain models & animations get updated in ORAS, then I hope they make Cyndaquil’s flame stay permanent. I miss it. Totodile was always my Gen 2 starter but Cyndaquil lost its flame… literally.

  17. Heyyyyyy guys.
    Got MK8 today. (Like everyone else XD)
    Gonna start playing now.
    In other words…
    I’M GONNA GET WRECKED IN THE PJN TOURNEY
    🙁

    • It’s okay. I support all. 😀 You will do fine 😀
      and hope you have fun with MK8 xD
      I’m having fun with Blue Rescue Team (I’m replaying all my PMD games for fun)

      Reply
      • I hope so.
        I think I’ll take the shiny route:
        Dedenne, Delphox, CoFAGrigus (LOL), Psyduck, Heliolisk, and hopefully I find another usable shiny.

        Reply
        • 😀 Shinies galore 😀
          Delphox, yeeeaaahhhh and lol at CoFAGrigus xD
          Hmmmm, maybe a grass? Or a fairy? 😀 Or Ice?

          Reply
          • I was like that too, I’m like, ‘Really? It is a flower fairy. MAKE ZE GRASS PLEASE!?!?!’
            Ohs wells D:
            Hmmm Froslass? 😀 No, hmm…Glaceon 😀
            I dunno anymore xD

        • The least you can do is have a nice team 😛 Just because you’re up against TC doesn’t mean he’ll win. Have some confidence in yourself 😀 Even if you do lose to TC, you still have a chance thanks to the Swiss style of the tourney 🙂

          Reply
          • Okay then 😀
            Thanks for the inspiration 😀
            I’m not that much of a competitive battler, so I’m bad at team building. Can you help me? 😀

          • Maybe 😛

            You need a Rapid Spinner (Excadrill or Mega Blastoise are pretty good), 2 special walls, and 2 defense walls. Try not to get a team that share a common weakness. Try not to use a Blastoise and a Mega Charizard Y on the same team for example. Also try going for Immunities such as a Water/Ground-type with a Sap Sipper Pokemon.

  18. And I saw that previous article just now. DELTA EMERALD!? I hope they were planning to surprise us with it at E3 or something. It sounds just too awesome! I would get all 3 XD

    Reply
      • Maybe it’s my mild OCD that likes to have things complete? I always want to get all the games to complete the set XD

        Reply
        • I get all the games for more of the fun xD
          And I get to experience it differently with different teams, so it’s worth it for me 😀

          Reply
          • Me too! I want to use as many different Pokemon in the region so I make different teams with different Pokemon and different types 😀 It’s fun! In Black I got to use a Jellicent because of it and it’s actually pretty good :p

          • yeah! I remember in my replay of Soulsilver, I used a Zubat for the first time, and I loved my Crobat. I grew to appreciate it so much! 😀
            It inspired me to make different teams with unlikely Pokemon, because I’ll never know what I will like 😀

  19. Alright screw laying on the couch resting my eyes
    There’s people being better than me and i’m putting an end to it!!!!

  20. I just got back from playing an unhealthy amount of time of Mario Kart 8 and i can safely say, it’s my favorite Mario Kart game

    Reply
  21. I’m going to get mad hate for this lol, but it’ll be quite nice if everyone moves their Mario Kart 8 journeys & tourneys to the chat or something. It’s just a bit annoying coming here trying to read over the Pokemon related comments and a bulk of them are Mario ones and could have easily been said in the chat.

    Reply
      • I don’t have any target to MM anymore.
        I’m thinking Onyx and Lileep when I have the time and motivation again. (And that is after I’m done training 20+ shiny babies that I’ve put off since forever.) T-T

        Reply
          • I have no luck with 6IV shiny. Which is weird considering how often I get 6IV regulars. Only 2 perfect shinies for me so far.

  22. So, due to me not liking my rescue team, I restarted Blue Rescue Team.
    I am totally special like that.
    So now I am a Charmander and my partner is a Chikorita. And our team name is Greenfire (because I am soooo original)
    So yeah.

    Reply
    • I restarted around 50 times for a Charmander.
      Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur. occasional eevee, machop, machop, machop…

      • I was like that for EoT,D,and S but not really for BRT.
        I knew for females, you have to be brave. So I knew how to answer the questions for that xD

        Reply
        • I had to think on how a Charmander would feel, but I just kept on getting those damn Bulbasaurs.

          Eventually, I got one and I traveled across the land with a squirtle. My most successful PMD run 😛 I almost got Mew, my overpowerd Charmander killed it…

          Reply
          • Red rescue team. My only weakness were those rooms with a bunch of pokemon that fell from nowhere and wrecked my Charmander and Squirtle.

          • Ah, the Monster houses (or rooms) They always suck, regardless of what Pokemon you have or what game. You just gotta hope for the best for those.
            For that you had to be Hardy for Charmander xD I dunno how to answer the questions for that xD

    • mine is Charmander and treecko
      And it’s called forestfire

      In sky it’s chimchar and treecko XD
      And it’s called ForestFire

      • Very original xD
        I know in sky it will be Piplup and Cyndaquil (yeah I’ll use it then)
        Because I loves Piplup 😀

  23. I completed 50CC in its entirety and played a few matches with my sister. And I have to say, this is the first Nintendo game I’ve played in a long time that I truly felt was…perfection for its genre. It is absolutely the best racing game out there, in polish, gameplay, and fun. I’ll elaborate tomorrow!

  24. now that I think about it, I mightve derped and entered in as a backup for anyone who cant battle .3.
    but im sure others did too XD darn.

    Reply
      • Mhmm. I think that’s partly the reason we left it open for so many people. I originally only wanted 20 or so people in it. If people bail out in that then it just gets a bit stupid, even with reserves.

  25. Here’s my latest Fakemon, Soakite. It’s a new water starter. I’ve been working hard to improve my art, and that hard work really paid off!

  27. Am I the only one who think MK8 is really hard compared to the last two? The drifting KILLS me. I always drift into the walls!!! >.< Maybe it's because they got rid of automatic drifting…that's probably it. Or at least idk where it is if it's still there.

    Reply
  28. Techniclly here is a fun fact: We have had a legendary for every type (even a poison legendary)! Arceus when holding a plate becomes the type of the plate so arceus is basically every type. The combination of that AND it beign a legend means we have a poison tpye legendary already and etc ~ something trollfreak could say

  43. OMG. You want to hear the story of the week? Digging through old Disqus comments, I made a shocking revelation. Keep tuned, while I write up what I discovered.

    Reply
  44. Mysterious Guy, AKA Spingebill AKA VoltSonic, claimed VoltSonic was a legit account that got hacked by Spingebill. This was all done in proper English, with him posting along fine with the articles. He claimed that Spingebill was an elite hacker that could hack everybody’s account, so he warned everyone for them.
    Weeks later VoltSonic started shitposting again, acting like his account was hacked. A few weeks after that he went on a frenzy as Spingebill, claiming he was not VoltSonic. It all becomes confusing after that because of the hack accusations and I can’t tell as which he imposed at that time. After the Spingebill incident, VoltSonic came back to defend himself from not being Spingebill. Blabla, again later, he came ‘cloaked’ into a thread asking what’s up with VoltSonic, chitchatted a bit about it and guess who came back? VoltSonic :). This was his last battle, as he was permmanently banned after that. 🙂

    So, Spingebill really is VoltSonic, and quite the troll seeing as he does have the proper skill to write English ;).

    Reply
    • This is why I always said they should have given Lapras Refrigerate ability. Because its physical move coverage sucks, but with Refrigerate, it’d be able to dragon dance and turn Body Slam into a physical ice move that can paralyze.

      Reply
      • Yep. They actually have the editor made for it =( I was playing around in one the other day. The only thing they have to figure out is how to inject the files back into our games. Powersaves blocks that from happening cause of a signature or something like that. But I smell it coming soon since someone injected Hoopa into their game.

  51. So uh… any of you got that recent Enigma Berry event? I wanted one, but they made it hard for people outside of Japan to get one. (Japanese only need 1000 Pokemiles to get it, while we have to compete in the May International Challenge.)
