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.

Red text means this player is likely to back out.
[/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!

Hey! Yeah sure I would love too!
Hm. Me vs. Wurmple. Didn’t he change his name?
Yup.He did.
Good luck everyone 😀
If other readers want to watch what happens, should we have a recap article of our battles with the recorded battle codes?
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.
YaY! It’s a I’m battaling another Spencer! #SpencerVsSpencerFTW
I’m not partaking in the tournament, but I hope you competitive folks have fun with it. 😀
^^
:0 Gangplank, I feel sooooo sorry for you.
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…
I’ll use Pain Split and heal you as I take your pain.
That would be nice of you. 😛
Been playing mk8, and i LOVE IT!
SHIT.
I’m up against TC.
Yeah. That made me smile when I saw that come up!
I noticed that.
Well, at least it’s Swiss method! 🙂
HAHAHHAHAHA!!!!@ GOD BE! GOD BE!!!!

Good luck everyone!
REDEMPTION!!!
Me vs Defensive

Though it won’t be easy
Remind me tomorrow, and I’ll update your name!
Okay
And GoH not GoS.
Yea i need to be update as Gentleman of Hoenn!
Yeah, even though he likes Sinnoh more ;~; No, that’s okay. Just don’t break the peace treaty again.
No prob, i mean i will sate at times my sinnoh love and pride but i will never openly insult hoenn.
Same 😀
Openly. </3
…….At pokejungle.
🙁
never will i insult hoenn. < period!
And vice versa for Sinnoh 🙂 all regions are great.
Yes!
REGION EQUALITY!
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?
moving only loves basti.
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.
4. :O Woah. *Snaps picture and runs away*
He is almost as big a fool as me!
Yeah, we’ll make it clear which posts it is!
Are you going to share that with the news networks?!
1. Pshh i’m a bigger one!
2. okey
3.Already in Regional Gentleman mounthly!
LOL Dae 4 Ultimate Dictator of the World 2014.
Okay, cool!
Ummmm depends. Will you attack me if I do?
Good luck to all! 😀
I support you all, some more than others….maybe. You don’t know me 😉
Anyways, have fun! 😀
Do you support me???

WHAT IS THIS?! I’M IN A LOVE TRIANGLE! 😀
I’d like to thank my fans, they knew me so well :’)
Awwwww so romantic! Spencer and Bobby are in love with… Um.. Sorry Percy, forgot your name xD You haven’t mentioned it much.
Jamie xD
I feel like I mention it everywhere, so that’s a shock xD
I never knew their names though xD
Yea I’m Spencer and Dicie is..bobby never knew his name.
😀 I know now other people’s names 😀
I mention it more than most though, my real name xD
So I always think i should stop saying my real name xD Cause people will just tell me to stop.
Oh, I’ve only heard it once, and that’s a nice name 🙂 I knew it ended in an e sound xD and LOL OMG LOL
Thank you 😀
Ends in e…..Kalee. Close enough xD
Wait what? I’m confused now.
Cause you said it ended with an e sound, so I was like ‘That totally narrows down the name list’ cause they are a ton of names ending in e. So I was like close enough.
I was trying to joke around D: I sucked at that one xD
Ohhhhhh LOL I thought you were lying and youre name was actually Kaylee xD
No no no xD I sometimes suck at jokes xD That’s why no one laughs at them D:
🙁 Well I’m laughing xD you just needed a little more detail in them.
ah okay xD 😀
Hey man if i get married, be my best man?
Omg, this would be 2 in one year! (The other was in a play lol) but what about Red Goodra?
…he’s dead…no jk, it’s gonna be a jungle wedding! So i’ll need my PJBFF!
Yay! Soooo who’s marrying?
ShinyTrapinch may we have a great battle!
Prepare yourself, I fight for my friends.
Btw, so psyched for mega sceptile.

All of them sadly.
we must use words in a rap battle
Thats okay I got Veemon on my side 😀
pfft ill get creamed by my trusty imperialdramon paladin mode

Ash can fight. He jusy jump in and freezes then everyone cries over him and says sorry.
The ultimate move! :O

Prepare yourself, I fight for my friends.
Damn it.
But i really need t know what pokemon are banned
My UlforceWeedramon doesn’t battle :
UlforceVeedramon doesn’t want to battle*
They said that last time. All officialy banned pokemom are banned.
We’ve had a previous article with rules. If you click the PokéJungle Tournament green link near the title you should be able to see a rules post on that page somewhere.
Sigh there is no simpler way 😐
http://pokejungle.net/2014/04/30/pjt-14-sign-ups-opened-for-stand-ins-rules-more/
There you go! 🙂
We’ll put out a final rules post nearer the tournament beginning.
I don’t know the person who I’m battling so ok!
Im so i looked at all the comments and there are no rules…
Comments? They’re in the actual articles or featured comments.
No they aren’t
They should be. Anyways, it’s regular pkmn bans.
I need to see the BANS! the ink in the article is wrong
I need to see the rules
found it straight form an article 😛
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.
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!
:O
I want this to happen.
So badly.
If it doesn’t I will cry myself to oblivion.
Also, the viridian forest is in both. Plus kanto starters.
Poison is super effective against two types (Grass and Bug) in Gen I.
Poison is super effective against two types (Grass and Fairy) in Gen VI.
0_0 I never knew Poison was super effective to bug

I agree on the two regions connecting. This is why Couriway has a train station that brings people from “faraway distances”. On Kanto being like Kalos, I actually said all this yesterday lol:
“I don’t want another remake of Kanto. There’s quite literally no memorable landmarks there. And we already did the cool stuff from 1st Gen inside of XY already:
-We chose our Kanto starters
-We caught Mewtwo post game
-We caught 3 legendary birds post game
-We caught Snorlax blocking the road & woke it up with flute
-Santalune Forest has the same structure as Viridian Forest.
-We got a Trivia Gym in Lumiose.
-Can pretty much catch about 140 of the 151 Pokemon in XY. I don’t see a point on Kanto again.”
Looks like this tournament is finally happening, good luck everybody
