Jungle Funnies #4: Gloomy Goomy

This week is actually sort of a break for our cartoonist Zach Flavin, but he was kind enough to sketch something up quick for us 😀 We all have those days that just don’t quite go as planned, so in the comments I’d like to hear about your #worstdayever! Bonus points if it relates to Pokémon 😉

I’d have to say that last year when Pokémon X&Y information was coming out and my site was getting too much traffic which ultimately caused it to be down for about a week was the worst ever for me. Not fun at all 🙁

  1. I honestly don’t remember my bad days. I just live life and surround myself with happy people and all I remember are good days 🙂

  2. Hmm… there was the time my dad had to “make a phone call” but instead went through my messages and found out that I’m gay. Then he wouldn’t talk to me for a month and kept saying “you’re not gay.” I started working for him later on and met my boyfriend. Fuck him. Anyway. #cuteprofilePJ

    • Sorry to hear that 🙁 Coming out can definitely be a struggle. I got to choose when I told my parents and luckily they were pretty supportive of me. Can’t imagine how hard it would have been if they weren’t.

      Reply
      • Well… I wish mine were SEMI supportive at least… It’s difficult when they go on rants about gays and stuff… I have to leave. It really does hurt.

        Reply
        • Well I can’t give my two cents on this scenario, I can say that really sucks man. Hopefully some day your parents will realize how happy you are, and accept that.

          Reply
          • They will whether they like it or not. I’m waiting until I have my own place regardless. ^^*

  3. Yah sorry about that guys, I recently started dating a lovely lady and she’s been taking up a lot of my time this past week. A real comic should be ready for next tuesday~

  4. Just now out of depression I make a binge sandwich acidentally putting away the knife in the dirty sink before I could finish and to top it all off my large frame knocked the jelly jar off the table and shattered…life f*cking hates me

  5. My #worstdayever was when I ran into a shiny Abra in Heart Gold, it was the second shiny I had ever found. I was so happy to encounter it… I threw an ultra ball at it…and it broke out. Then it teleported away. Wherever you are Shiny Abra, I hope you are happy. #AbraKadabraAlakawhydidyouhavetoteleport

  6. One of my worst days pokemon related is when my brother sold my Pokemon Red and Pokemon Crystal to his girlfriend when he was in 5th grade, and my parents refused to get mad at him : I cried about a week because I have created and started so much things in those games they were like my 3rd best friend to me.

  7. I just realised who this article was made for….. Earthen D: I will pray for him… even though I’m not that religious…

      • Basically he got beat in MK8…a lot, and then he started to feel depressed and then revealed that he thinks he’s physically unattractive and a loser, but we tries to cheer him up. It didn’t go so well :/

          • i wasn’t ready for battle, thats why i didnt accept loL! but we will battle someday my good old friend (p.s. you’re a girl?)

          • Uh. No…. Lol! I understand. I just saw your PSS shout out battle me and needed someone to battle…

          • oh lol! well yeah, i actually had 3 battles before you’re request and got whooped badly loL! so when you’re request came up and i saw who you were i was like ” NOPE, some other day” XD

          • like the day before yesterday i was on a wining streak, yesterday i level a little bit and i thought i was unstoppable , i used all my 6 pokemon, got defeated by a gavantula and mega mawile! :….(

          • i never liked its design 🙁 sorry, i prefer mega banette ( have you seen its hips, they sway like if it were dancing salsa in the middle of a battle)

          • my blaziken couldn’t kill it whatsoever! not even mega blaziken but out of nowhere my last pokemon is mitotic (i thinking that this was it) it ko’s it with hydropump! Im like “ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME POKEMON,” i could have done this from the beginning if i new lol! sometimes i think pokemon lose on purpose

          • i HATE flying types because all they do is brave bird!!! and i love fighting steel types with my serperior lol!

  8. My worst day ever was when I got bullied really hard and when i got home my sister tore up one of my favorite pokemon cards. 🙁

    Reply
  9. Worst day ever….hmmm…
    Probably the day I found out my brother lost Ruby and Sapphire? Or the day he decided not to play Pokemon anymore?
    Probably.
    I dunno, they don’t matter anymore.

  10. My worst day about pokemon was actually the 1st time I ever played pokemon – Pokemon Gold on the GB colour. I started the game and I literally couldn’t figure out how to exit my bedroom in the game. I almost cried, thinking I broke the game but then, miraculously, my mom came and played around with it and she got my character out. How was I supposed to know that red rectangle was the floor mat?!

  11. worst day ever was when my brother ERASED my saved file on EMERALD which had every SINGLE POKEMON lv.100 inkcluding my shiny altaria :……( and was in the process of training an armaldo which i was excited about! never have i ever have gotten the chance to train another armaldo.

  12. Worst day ever? Going to my Prom. I didn’t have a date and hung out with my classmates I barely knew. The music sucked, and the location could’ve been better.

    At least the food was good.

    I loathed High School. The only thing good about it was that I hung out with my friends (a class below me though).

    Reply
        • no, that guy was always quiet and people made fun of him for playing pokemon at school! ! but if you ever ever say that “pikachu was a rat” he would go into outrage mode on you! IM SEROUS!!! that was the only thing that ticked him off XD!
          i had a class with him and this girl said it” next thing you know a rectangular blue box flys across the room and the girl gets knocked to the floor! LMFAO! too funny (he threw his ds at her (it was the first ds that came out, the fat one)).

          • I would freak out too. You should see me when people say Poochyena and Mightyena are wolves.
            It gets intense. >:)

          • Similar to its pre-evolution Lickitung, it may be based on lizards like iguanas and chameleons due to its long tongue and somewhat reptilian appearance. On the other hand, Lickilicky’s bulbous body makes it resemble a round baby. Moreover, considering the white bib-like pattern on Lickilicky’s torso and Lickilicky’s voracious appetite, Lickilicky may be based on an exaggerated concept of a bloated gourmand, perhaps dressed in macaroni-style or dandy-style fashion.
            Quoted from Bulbapedia 😀

          • Macaroni styled??? as in mac and chesse macarooni? XD! lmao! thats the funniest thing I’ve herd today! loL!

          • xD Based on colonial times clothing xD
            I’ve had to look up gourmand though. Apparently it’s someone that eats alot and is a stereotypical fat person in art.

          • OHHHHHH!!!!! lmao! know i comprende loL! i actually thought of mac and cheese.
            basically the lollipop kid from the wizard of oz!

    • I would have come, if I had known you in person and if I knew you then.
      We could’ve had a fun time 😀
      My best friend is a grade below me. I will miss her so much! D:

      • Thank you Percy. It means a lot to hear you say that. We just had to be on opposite sides of the country. Who knows. Maybe it could still happen. There are fancy balls for adults (or that could only be in Medieval Europe, IDK).

        I hope you enjoyed High School life.

        Reply
        • No problem 😀 And I know, stupid Earth D:
          I will attend all of the fancy balls. Just for that to happen xD
          And I did 😀 There were some problems of course, like my friend that i like yet hate saying my problems were insignificant to hers because I had a ‘better family life’. My problems weren’t even about that!
          Tangent aside, it was nice 😀 But I am glad I am moving on 😀

          Reply
          • We learn from our experiences, adapt, and move on. That’s how life works. I hope your friend’s alright.

            IDK where fancy balls are held nowadays. Would we have to travel to Europe just to attend one? That can’t be. 😀

          • Yep 😀 I learned to murder people who say their problems are grater than mine and everybody else’s 😀
            Wait what? xD
            Yeah, we’re good. Just it happens sometimes 😀
            I would travel to Europe just to attend a fancy ball just to meet you 😀

          • Now now Percy. No weapons allowed in airports. <:D

            It be the perfect fairy tale! However, we could meet even before the ball. We'd meet each other at an airport (Florida or San Francisco, California). Get to know each other, be able to visit our homes briefly, and then travel to Europe for our ball! It'll be costly, but so worth it! 😉

          • Dangit, not again! D: I knew I shouldn’t have brought that knife to the plane! But it was my baby! D:
            😀 Fairy tale? 😀 And so very worth it.
            Or, we meet in the airport, talk a bit, but then get separated on the plane and when we get there. We look around for each other yet cannot find the other. Then we go to the ball and find each other and fireworks will be present! 😀
            …Did that just come out? xD I get crazy at times xD

          • I like that story. Oh. We also try to call each other, but it has no effect because we can’t hear each other from the crowd and time is of the essence. Our phones still won’t work once we get off the plane because we won’t have International Coverage. We miss each other by 20 seconds when we check into our hotel. We realize that we have less than 8 hours to get ready for the ball, so we prep ourselves and leave it to fate to reunite us once more. 😉

            I just said that out loud and you did too. 😀

          • Yes 😀 That’s just such a beautiful story 😀
            Who would get to the hotel first? xD That’s what I wanna know xD I’m too invested in this story.
            Fate always reunites people 😀 Sometimes.
            Yep, we are dorks. Awkward dorks who make up stories of how we would meet and find each other at a fancy ball :3

          • But we’re the best kind of dorks! The type who enjoy Fairy Tales immensely. Ever heard of the Red String of Fate? It’s what ties certain people together. Even when separated by time and space itself, the string will stay strong forever and ever. Nothing can ever change that. I could reserve the hotel first. I’d find the best and affordable one out there (if only I could just get a darn job)! We’ll manage. OMG when are you done with school? We’re both adults here ready to tack the Working World!

          • The bestest bestest evah! 😀
            I love fairy tales, i just wish they could come true sometimes xD And yes I have! 😀 I so want to know if I have one and how it is connected to so bad!
            xD We’ll find somewhere, the details aren’t important now xD
            High school or college? I’m done with high school, but I gots college and graduate school to attend (I aim to be a clinical psychologist, which requires a PHd. I will be a doctor! :D)
            One day I will xD
            (I am totally shocked no one is paying attention to this. No one cares for our fairy tales D:)

          • I meant college. I’ve got one more year of college left. I’m getting my Bachlor’s in Business Management. I hope to get something Human Resources related. Had I known I was going to focus on business as a child, I would have my future career planned a lot better. Good luck with that! 🙂 You can do it! (Some of us are probably reading this thread since our comments notify when a new comment is made, but they probably don’t want to interfere. You think we should move our discussions to a private website next time? Email, Facebook, Skype?).

          • Nice 😀 And I totally planned this since Freshman year of high school, but I did’t narrow down a field until senior year xD
            Totally planned.
            And thanks 😀
            (Pokejungle people not interfering? Since when? xD
            They probably think we are weird and are totally just ignoring us xD
            And yeah, saves them from a bunch of wall text xD
            Don’t mind any of them xD FB or Skype is probably best xD)

          • They’re probably ignoring us. Sorry everyone if we’re bothering you. 😀

            Here. I’ll link my profile page to my Facebook account so we can chat more there. I know that once I post it, I’ll probably be flooded with Friend Requests, which I don’t mind. Anyway, here it goes.

            Hope this helps! 😉

    • I never got to go to a prom 🙁 Was in Japan my junior year and switched schools my senior year and it didn’t have one.

      Then one of my ex’s asked me to go with him so I broke up with my bf (one I’m still dating) but then ended up splitting with him before we went and got back together with Hiro.

      • That’s too bad. I’m sure you two would have enjoyed it. I’m glad you two are still together though. I hope it’s working out just fine.

  13. Anyways, I finally figured out the names of my Pokemon line! 😀
    No judging, k, I worked hard for these.
    NO JUDGING! STOP JUDGING WITH YOUR EYES!
    Ahem. Anyways.
    Base form- Dolphtzy (Dolphin and ditzy)
    Evolution by Mind Stone- Dolphsprit (Dolphin and esprit, French for mind)
    Evolution by Razor Fang (anytime)- Orcane (Orca and canine, kinda)
    I kinda don’t like Orcane, but I am at a lost here.

  14. Worst day ever…worst day ever…
    I guess when I found out that my friends took advantage of my shyness in elementary school and performed bad trades for all of my rare EX cards. Or perhaps when I found out how stupid I was to cut up my Wailord and Hitmonchan EX cards. Or, according to distant memory, when I found a shiny Drapion in the Pearl safari zone and it ran away. That’s everything Pokemon-related. Of course, there is other stuff that I’d rather keep to myself. 😛

  16. OMG. My actual #worstdayever was when I found out that my Pokémon Crystal cartridge’s battery no longer worked and I lost my save file 🙁 Can’t use it anymore. Had a shiny Crobat…

    Reply
    • I actually wanna change mine too. It’s the day I broke my GB colour. I pressed the a-button so many times it stopped working. Also the entire thing doesn’t even come on anymore 🙁

      Reply
    • Had a similar experience. My Crystal cartridge would erase my save file I I didn’t play and save within 3 days. Had to start over a bunch of times. Imagine the horror I faced every time I left for some trip and forgot to pack my gameboy

      Reply
      • OMFG! samething happen to my silver cartridge… until i “accidentally” swapped my best friends cartridge for mine without him looking XD! i use to play it on my super nintendo! pokemon on the big screen on a saturday evening was my hobby during elementary school!
