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!

I just noticed that Moving is a Bastiodon. Cool.
items are so unbalanced this time lol
I just don’t understand how you’re moving so fast
I love the MK8 results screen 😀
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.
No, no. You make a point. I’d be glad to take it there to make you feel better.
is the mk8 hype
could join a nintendo forum.
What Pokemon related comments?
That’s my point.
I agree 😀 Although, no one is really commenting on Pokemon at the moment xD
I hate you. Jk, i agree
Just wait till smash 4. and the best part is that it will be on topic
Oh geez.. When does it come out? So I can remind myself to go missing from this place for a week lol.
try a couple of months. Smash will consume everything. this summer. mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
well it’s not so bad.. since it’ll be for 3DS which I’ll probably get a copy then, and there’ll be loads of ORAS news by then that will overshadow anything Mario related.
Yeah. I’m pretty sure something is going to have to be done about that. Again.
thank you jesus… and moving XD
Praise me.
NLque u there?
Yes?
you’re a worthy adversary
Thank you.
I haven’t touch Pokémon Y for a good month and a half now (aside from watering and picking berries).
pfft… I’m masuda breeding cacnea as we speak. just collected egg 19.
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
Ahh nice nice! I have a shiny 6iv onix (kalos born) that I just traded someone for a few nights ago actually haha. Lileep sounds like a future MM for me. Forgot about that thing.
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.
Guys this’ll be my last race k?
B-But what about those smug asian kids beating your records?
My Blood’s Angry enough as it is
I wonder if there’s an all nintendo pokejungle like website out there. Investigation time!
There’s NintendoLife site…
meh
There’s GameFaq’s (the boards/threads for the games). As well as plenty of Mario fan sites that I’m sure have commenting sections LOL.
I should try and make one…
I’d support you all the way. :3
I don’t know if I would be able to do it, there is a website I know of where we can chat about whatever we want, but… That place is only available to a certain group of people.
And that certain group is?
The CS10K.
Or comment section ten thousand.
I just do not get it
Nice races dudes. Lose until I get better I guess… 🙂
well atleast you beat nl once GG
O.k that was just not fair
All this MK8 talk makes me soooo jealous.
New Groudon and Kyogre forms confirmed. http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/8/8d/Parody_legendaries.png
Ew, they’re ugly.
So fake though XD.
DO. YOU. HAVE. ANY. IDEA. HOW. MUCH. I. WANT. TO. STAB. YOU. RIGHT. NOW.
But I don’t want to because MK8 rocks
It’s okay, release your anger.
Just not at me please D:
Silent….
NOPE
PARTYT LIKE IT’S 4526 B.C.!!!
Or is it?
yes, yes it is
DUN DUN DUN
Goodnight everyone my brain has officially died, NLque I will beat you, someday
For now Peace
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.
10outta10
Would train.
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
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…
Which PMD game was it?
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
They do. I found them a lot easier in the explorers games.
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 😀
Good Night fellow Junglers!
Night 😀
:3
GOODNIGHT.
Goodnight junglers.
I’m out.
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!
this game is just wowzerz
I have destroyed my right thumb today 🙂
Time to rest up
Awww…I signed up but didnt make it…that sucks :/
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.
You’ll be in the tourny. I bet my bottom dollar atleast up to 5-10 people bail out. Lots of newbies on that list, and lots of people who sign up for everything and bail out.
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.
I’m pretty sure I did .-. If I have to participate, I’m screwed. My teams are nowhere near ready, or ever will be ready. But I’ll still play 😀
Oh man. It’s been so long since I played Pokemon. I have a feeling I will get wrecked in this tournament.
I wish you luck in our battle 🙂
You too.
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!
Forgot the picture…
Um… What?
OMG! I love it <3 It has to be a real starter <3
Thanks so much!!
What is based on? A bat?
Yup!
Nothing has changed lol, I think he’s trolling you
Yeah…
That actually looks quite cool. Good Job
Thanks!
