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!

Oh, and I’m so happy! y’know who watched me on dA? DaybreakM! Arguable the best Fakemon creator on deviantART!
Mega Evolution Special on rn!
And that new trainer (dont know they’re name, but its the one with chespin) just called Ash an amazing trainer ;-;
p.s. thanks for reminding me c:
Alans vice acting and vice is so amazing and badass 0-0 his character is awesome
Voice and words*
I can imagine siebold singing Be our guest with that voice XD
He is so elegant yet powerful
#mcm
Is modest good for Chnadelure?
I’d probably do timid since it’s special attack is already insane.
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.
I need a wii u badly now
I love challenges
Very few video games can make me angry. This is one of them. Still fun though
Try karts 🙂 I find bikes really hard to correct when I turn too much, IMO.
Also yeah there’s no auto drift I can find.
What should I do for my other 2 Fakemon starters?
The fire should be a Red panda and Grass should be an elephant?
Also the Panda should be fire/fighting
No Fire/Fairy!! No more fire/fighting ;-;
Fire/ground :3
camerupt says hi
or grass jaguar
we have a grass elephant for JJ already
O yeah. A jaguar would be really cool.
junguar!
ooo I like that.
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
Technicalities are not fun facts…
yeah i meant to space out technically and fun fact
i worded it wrong :/
Lol. I was just joking.
With Arceus we have in fact had every type of legendary since Gen 4.
However I consider Arceus the first ever Normal Legend. Poison needs it’s own Legend, because who would really use Poison Arceus anyway.
Well I guess Meloetta is also Normal so it’s not the only one any more
Good morning everyone

Who else needed a name change? I can’t remember!
GOS to GOH
Gentlemen of Hoenn
meeee
Wait, what’s with the Defensive Basti thing in your description at the top of the artcle?
He loves me. He helped me out a few days back when I was locked out of publishing articles. I let him access my account to try some things and set up a few posts for me.
Because he’s totally cool and amazing and everything, he changed my profile.
It’s just a sign of how much he loves me. 😉
I’m battling him
>:D
Good luck to you both! 😉
Thanks, I hope i do good
Why are guys making only 8 moving on?
There are 50 people here you should of made 16 or 32 move on, with 8 people their is destined 3+ way tie for that last spot moving on
Yeah, I made a comment on this earlier somewhen (I’ll find it in a bit if you can’t), we just chose 8 because it’s what we wanted with time restrictions. We’ve not set a definite date for when elimination rounds will begin, so we can easily change it (and probably will)!
Governor of sinnoh to governor of hoenn (gos to goh)
*gentleman
-_- it’s gentleman.
I corrected it xD
i just saw that lol
Why is “Defensive Basti” the coolest and bestest person eva?
Never mind 🙂
I was just about to direct you to that comment, but you found it 😉
Why not??
Well, crap. I’m going to be In Israel during the time round 1 is going on so Im going to have to pull out of the tourney. sorry guys 🙁
Are you there just while Round 1 is beginning? What dates are you away?
june 29 to july 27
Aw damn. Can’t accommodate for that 🙁
What name are you on the list?
ABSOLute metalhead. Sorry bout the inconvenience
It’s fine! 🙂
Israel?! I’ve never even been on the Eastern hemisphere before D:
=( you suck. But enjoy Israel though, that sounds cool!
Guys WHAT AM I GONNA DO????
I really want a WiiU so bad, so i think i am gonna get a job this summer… but i am sure they gonna be selling Hoenn Themed 3DS’s and HOENN IS MY LIFE!!!!
Which should i get WiiU or Hoenn themed 3DS’s
Wii U
See I’m waiting for Sinnoh themed 3DS’s.
Wii U
Wii U
I feel so lame. I’ve never had a “summer job” before 🙁
Wii U
whichever you feel is better for yourself
look at pros and cons for both
then check benefits of each and then conclude before you buy the item
That’s what I would do 😀
Buy the limited edition 3DS, then the year after pick up a Wii U from the dumpster after discontinuation.
Do you have a power up rewards account?
If you do, you can get coupons for consoles (including wii u )
So here’s the skippy:
Get a used white wii u
then put your leftover money aside for 3ds! 😀
Just to put it out there i wll probably have to forfit 1 round in a couple of weeks due to haveing a week long camp I’m going to.
MenacingCascoon, I didn’t know you used to be IntimidatingWurmple. I thought that was someone else. Anyway, when are you going to evolve?! And what will your name be? ;-;
Um, nobody knows this information, my last evolution took 15 years… so
just spam rare candys
I’m available for all rounds of the tournament because I’m a loner and I have no social life!!
Get out.
Fite me
Bring it.
1v1
Rn
I’ll 0v1 you. And still win.
Lovely
Yes.
Can any of you imagine me crying based on my personality?
I think you cry because you laugh too hard.
I can actually. But you’ll porbably laugh about it quickly later on.
Good because I did last night.
A lot ;~~~~~~;
y they gotta take my friends away ;~;
It’s natural to let it all out. It’s ok Djja.
*bro hugs*
*bro hugs*
It wasn’t even graduation yet but it was still so sad because everyone started crying and I cry when other people cry ;~~~;
Crying. It’s contagious. Like yawning.
I cry a lot XD
Yep, comedic people are usually the one’s who experienced the most hurt.
All my friends are leaving because of graduation ;~~;
I have more Mega Sableye Speculation. Here me out.
Mega Sableye
Ability: Reverse (reverses the user’s previous ability to make it its new ability)
Reverse Keen Eye (does not prevent loss of accuracy)
Reverse Stall (The Pokémon moves before all other Pokémon do)
Reverse Prankster (Gives -1 priority to status moves)
Stats: 50/100/100/90/90/50
reverse stall would become the meta game XD
I have found Stall’s true purpose. :’)
lol reverse defeatist would be beautiful as well! 😀
*shivers* Reverse Slow Start. O__O
shhhhhh
lets not speak of scary things :S
What about Sawk and Throh?
You mean Bert and Ernie?
Reverse Stall=2OP4ME
Mega Sableye: They laughed at my Stall, so I laughed as I destroyed them with its Reversed Version. 😛
this is so complex…. lol.. my brain is frying trying to comprehend it. I just hope it gets something simple and useful. I can’t imagine what though. I always wanted Sableye to be an offensive poke, I hate its crippling status.
As do I Heavy as do I.
I MEAN LOOK AT IT!!! It’s the Stitch of Pokémon!!! It was created to destroy and be cute and cuddley!!!
How do you reverse Truant. Instead of missing a turn, you get to attack twice.
0_0
Slaking4Ubers
mega slaking with any abilit besides the following:
traunt
slow start
defeatist
would be bumped to ubers XDDD
Normalize
That’d be pretty neat, i love it!!!!!!!
*opponent switches to a ghost with Focus Blast.
odor sleuth :3 XD
We should have a Normal/Fighting Pokémon, and give it Scrappy.
The thing about Reverse though, is that it’s similar to Trace where it’ll activate immediately and then change. Therefore, Reverse can never be Skill Swapped. I just like to think of Reverse Abilities though just for LOLs.
Like, I think my team is good rn as it is, and I’ve won like 23 battles with it, but idk.
I have a Hoenn team!!! 😀
It’s the same thing for me
Either I sweep teams or I get crushed
But I usually sweeep because of stall-rein XD
Stallrein is too OP
Is encore good on stallrein? :3
I dunno. What set are you running? I thought Stallrain was dead because of the weather nerf.
he’s still really good! 😀
Im Huntark 😀
Are you running Toxic/Protect/Sub/?
scald instad of sub XD
Wallrein can’t learn Scald, for it is an Ice Type.
Djja hacked Showdown
He also has Volcanion and Hoopa in there. XD
Ice beam* oops XD
We should battle on Showdown 😀
Okay :3
Yay 😀
OMG Heavy you are here
Um what do i say….
Hi :>
Hello Menacing!! Yeah I’m usually in & out… In right now before all the Mario Karters arrive lol.
I’m reading everyone guessing what your Dustox name would be below, laughing. Slippery suggested a really good one, DevastatingDustox. 0_0
You laugh a lot…
And cry.
Lol, but who said i was gonna be a dustox, I could be a gyarados… But i can’t tell anyone my dustox name lol
HstaricalGyarados
*imagines a giant sushi with a laughing face*
Because he could Mega Evo and look like sushi.
Ahh so you have the name already selected? I’m more hype for its reveal more than E3 tbh lol.
Maybe a fat gyarados with dustox wings lol.
Wonder who I’ll be up against in the tourney since my opponent, a fellow Metal bailed out. =/
LOL yesterday I said I expect 5-10 people to bail out, and I come on here and see like 3 people already bailed.
I would bail, but I never signed up XD
LMFAO!!
It’s tediously annoying. People shouldn’t write their name on stuff if they aren’t 100% sure they can be apart of it.
Djja are we battling now?
ill get on :3
Whats your name on Showdown?
Please tell me I’m not the only one who thinks Mega Gyarados, the almighty atrocious pokémon, looks like sushi.
I agree
It looks smaller than is regular form
It’s because its body is segmented XO
it shrivels up
It does now that I look at it 0_0
The pink dots.
They are caviar.
What has been seen can’t be undone. >:D
I love hatching 6iv pokemon using a 5iv & a 6iv. Odds are really low, but I scream as if I hatched a shiny. Now I can swap out these parents and use this 6iv cacnea with 6iv ditto XD
Cacnea….. I ship Cacturne and Maractus!!
cacnea x james x unova jenny x ash’s primeape
…
f u
the best pokemon console game is definitely pokemon box
I had to look that up lol but it’s cool! Playing Ruby and Sapphire on the TV like a bawz!
maybe for ORAS there’ll be a cord that connects the game to a tv so you can play it there! 😀
I would love that soooo much!!
