Don’t forget to check out our Corocoro updates here and here!
Much, much later than we wished to, we’re bringing our readers the penultimate update on the 2014 PokéJungle Tournament before the first battles commence. We’ve decided to make some changes to the format of the tournament to help with how it’ll run when we begin later this month.
PJT ’14 Format Changes
At the end of May we announced that our tournament would run over five rounds, with players earning points in each round and the top 8 players after all rounds proceeding to three elimination rounds, this has now changed.
The changes we’ve made have been done so to remove the pressure of having to be available for the entire period of the tournament. Players will now be placed into groups, in these groups every player will battle one another once. When all battles have been completed (and tie-breakers completed if necessary) the top player from each group will move forward into the elimination rounds.
Players will need to confirm participation below so we can finalise groups and group balancing before the start date of the tournament. Group stage battles will take place over the same dates as the Rounds were previously planned to take place, with a maximum of three groups battling at any time. All match-ups posted before now are to be ignored.
As it stands any drop outs will no longer be filled by stand-ins, until we announce otherwise.
We have also decided to push the tournament start date back. This is to allow participants time to confirm their entry (see below) and for us to finalise players in each group.
Lavender, Camphrier & Driftveil Group Battles – July 23 — July 27
Canalave, Sunyshore & Cinnabar Group Battles – July 28 — August 1
Ecruteak, Fallarbor & Lumiose Group Battles – August 2 — August 6
Goldenrod, Undella. & Rustboro Group Battles – August 7 — August 11
Final Elimination Rounds – August 13 onwards.
Participant Entry Confirmation
It has been a while since we first opened sign-ups to the tournament, and it’s likely some of those who signed-up are now unable to take part, or simply do not wish to. As such we’ve decided that participants must now confirm their entry using the form below by July 17. Those who do not do so will be removed from the tournament and unable to participate. If you have changed your username since this list was created please inform us and we will change it accordingly.
The following participants are required to fill out the form:

I have to go to my cousin’s party… it’s mandatory! Urghh!
#Firstworldproblems
Cousins are the best!
Johto League Silver Conference Style 🙂 I like- that was by far the BEST league in the anime 🙂
I have to agree 😀
I recently heard Lovers on the Sun by David Guetta and I can’t stop listening to it!! <3

ILOVEITTOOMUCH
Jordin, I just did the Vivillon event and got a Timid Vivillon with perfect speed on my 15th try. 🙂
U r a q t
Thanksssss. 🙂
CONGRATULATIONS! :DDD Your determination paid off 🙂
The sarcasm with this one. 🙂
I didn’t use sarcasm 😀 (I can only be happy)
And I love your avatar <3 😀
Thankss. 😀
^^^^ why I love hoenn
Jordinjordin go to pm please! ~ 😀
Is this real?
I wish 😀
I hope they keep the upbeatness of the music
Dodododdodododododooooooo! Like that?
Perfection.
and they route 113 for djja 😉
I’m trying to decide something
I feel like breeding a LC MonoGround team
but should i teach Drilbur Drill Run or just settle for Earthquake
Drill Run. Lots of other pokemon can learn Earthquake.
Yeah,
Honestly i only keep Drill Run Excadrill because Drill Run is basically Excadrill signature attack and it just feels so good to see Ex use it (and call it out)
Ya Dig?
I dig it 😛
Honestly i’m kind a sick of using Earthquake all the time
Don’t get me wrong i love that technique so much and would give it out as a TM at my Gym
but i wish there were better Ground Attacks with a little more flair
Also i wish they made Land’s wrath 150 Damage
Did you know in the Manga Wallace and Winona were a couple
they match
0___________0
Fish Boy and Bird Women?
Aquaman and Hawkgirl?
Unfortunately
WomEn, multiple?
Also in the Manga Liza&Tate knew Martial Arts
But don’t every Anime character know martial arts
Ash…
Good point
Goalllllll!!!…
Already?!
netherlands
Yayy >:D
Yep. Cause of a Yellow Card (should have been Red :P) for a PK in 3′.
If we stop hatingdisliking Ash as the main character they might kill him off! o3o
No.
Ash is good
More kid friendly
Has more personality.
But he’s been to 5 regions and he still uses faith, trust and pixie dust over type strategy and potions. You’d think he’d be more experienced by now :/
He’s half a moron
and to be fair
I use guts and sheer brute force in my battles and i manage just fine
Are you a main character that doesn’t age? :O
In my delusional mind i am
You shant use Potions.
He still cares about his pokemon
Phoebe was so Annoying like Pressure Protect Stall all my moves PP, Then Both Dusclops had different move sets so you couldn’t use the same strategy from the first dusclops
now imagine eviolite dusclops
FYI
Sidney= Sin
Phoebe= Phobia
Glacia= Glacier
Drake= Draco the Drgon
What does Sin have to do with fire? Is it if you sin you go to hell where there’s fire??
Sidney is a dark type leader…
Oh woopsies 🙂
Leader?
Es dark xD
Still, you gotta admire my chain of thought 🙂
Goalllllllll Hollannnnnndddddd!!! This is shaping up to be the Ger/Bra game again.
I kinda feel sorry for Brazil now 🙁 They know now that they suck with Neymar and… the other one who got carded.
*without
Sorry I am posting so much, but it is So quiet
But did you know
Electric Fire Water have had a specialist in each main story pokemon game
Elaborate please.
Electric- Lt. Surge, Watson, Volkner, Elesa, Clemont
Fire- Blaine, Flannery, Flint, Chili (I think i forgot his name XD), Malva
Water- Misty, Juan/Wallace, Wake, Cress, Siebold
Ice was pretty close- Lorlei (i think), Pryce, Glacia, Candice, Brycen (not in BW2), Wulfric
Brycen is still in B/W2, but you dont battle him. He still specializes in ice types, but is not a gym leader.
True, but I meant battle not counting PWT
Oh, you meant like those types had gyms… 😛
i am surprised Ice has had a specialist in each game :O
Not in BW2, that guy retired and went for PokeStar Studio.
There I knew it was missing one!
he’s still a specialist…
Edited
Ice is not on that list
No matter how many times i watch the Puppetmaster i still get chills from Bloodbending
But i makes me think could Earthbending do the same by focusing on the minerals within the bones?
jordin are you done with the avi
Are you done with the avi O.0
Did you just mock him? lol
No lol I just asked
are YOU done with the avi??????????!!!!
AM I DONE WITH THE AVI
NOBODY IS DONE WITH AVI ITS THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!!!!!!!!
And I feel fine 😀
I don’t like Emerald, it’s to hard D:
Its E4? :O
LOL no. I’m battling May under the cycling road and my Pokemon weren’t in good shape to begin with DX
May <3
May <3
No, July!
May <3
well into the pit of eternal fire you go
Waaaaaah D: The game is too hard D: This is the reason the babying of the franchise keeps happening. Why GF gives Gym Leaders only 3 Pokemon, Elite 4 only 4 Pokemon, and the game is essentially easy mode.
If I’m too harsh, sorry xD I saw my chance to vent and I took it 😛
Not harsh enough! I agree 100%
Hoenn was challenging and beautiful! 😀 <3
although, the rival battle he's speaking of is harder than death
I want every trainer in Hoenn to have one mega Pokemon.
all of them are mega milotics.
I would fail because I don’t have the heart to faint so many Milotics. ;_;
all of them know self destruct, you dont need to :3
“I’m 2 beautiful 4 you” *blows up*
Nah, I just suck at batch leveling. Maybe I shouldn’t do it :/
May I vent too? *puppy eyes*
Yes :3
*too
And that’s no reason to dislike it, it’s better this way, a challenge.
Yeah, I know I spelt ‘too’ wrong. As a grammar nazi, it killed me D:

The bright green is actually hurting my eyes…
thats a weird way to draw delta emerald 😮
The most beautiful Pokemon in the world
inb4 chico
What a lie. lmfao
Which is it? This or Milotic (or Mega Milotic <3)
May
Don’t you guys own calenders?! It’s July!!
May
May
What if mega milotic gets super ugly and is named the “good personality pokemon”
Mega Feebas
What if you go to bed and don’t wake up?
Make him wake up dead! >:D xD
Waking up dead…
You can’t do that XD
Wights confirmed?
Yep xD That’s the point.
are you a good personality doesnt matter at all? ;~;
and beauty is the only thing that matters? D:
That would be Troll Freak at its finest!
Mega Milotic
Water/Steel
Upon mega evolving, Milotic realized it’s what on the inside that counts, and gave up it’s beauty for the most defensive scales pokemon and the most beautiful personality in the world.
Or it could become the “Catfish” Pokemon since mega is its true form
But what if you have a sassy Milotic
if they do they dont need no mega evolution
Could you imagine a Mega Excadrill?
Ground/Steel
Sand Force
Attack and Speed boosted
its body will be bigger, larger claws with more spikes, its eyes will have blade shaped markings, and its paws will have claws too, and when it forms Drill form it can bore through anything
Mega Excadrill
Steel/ Ground
Sand Force
HP: 110
Atk: 175 (+40)
Def: 70 (+10)
SpA: 50
SpD: 75 (+10)
Spe: 128 (+40)
Kinda Glass Cannon Ish but do you like it?
Excadrill is naturally frail and i’ve come to accept it
But deep within him lies a Mega Evolution
So do you like my stats 😀
^That was a question
sorry playing MK8
they sound perfect
I finally got my Vivillion
Wow Ignis XD
True that.
It is bootyful and I must have more
Mega Milotic becaomes Extremely hideous in its true form Of mega evolving
It becomes the Catfish Pokemon (Get it?)
Water/ Poison
Ability HIDEOUS: when a pokemon Sees this it gets confused and poisoned, Physical attacks fail, 90% at the end of every turn for the trainer to get sick and forfeit
LOL Yeah I get the catfish thing. Also, miraculously, Splash does 150 damage XD
Yeah but you aren’t too far off
I feel it would get a deep sea kinda look and have more of a darker beauty
The best nature to suit Ludicolo would be Jolly, cos Ludicolo has such a jolly personalliity. Time to run banded Ludicolo.
Be afraid, be very afraid
Lol Timid Ludicolo
That moment where the abandoned ship music makes me cry because I was listenng to it during a certain someone’s death… ;~;
in a show, not irl XD
liza, I think u know who i b talkin bout :3
;~; My phone’s ackin up butttttt
Although Pokemon is/was meant for kids, nerfing every NPC is unnecesary. I LOVE a challenge, and because people are too lazy to train or strategize, GF nerfed everyone in Gens 5 – 6 (mostly 6).
Like seriously, I enjoy a tough battle. And I managed to beat the Ghost gym leader’s level 25 Gengar (In Ecruteak) with a level 5 Togepi for goodness sake(in SS)!!! While people are crying about a game being too hard while not trying to do anything about it.
K done.
Al they need is a damn difficulty setting. Seriously is it that hard. Even Tetris has a difficulty setting.
*rant over*
“Easy mode (gen 6)
Hard mode (gen 3)”
Yeah, but they seriously need have better places to grind in ORAS. Keep the difficulty, but allow for better ways to handle it instead of making it easier.
I remember chasing Gabby and Ty around Hoenn. Fun times.
Yes! More trainers like that, and maybe the Vs. Seeker. Best item ever omg
Match call was basically vs seeker XD
But they had to call you first. Vs. Seeker is chargeable and you don’t have to wait for them to call you. 😛
Vs seeker is better than match call, cos you don’t have to wait for them to want a rematch. You just keep recharging and using it over and over again. It needs to return. It was a great item.
mix them so you can call them wherever you are and get a battle XD
It affected all trainers in your area though. Calling every trainer everytime you wanted a battle would be rather tedious lol
Like if you’re in mauville and ou call up someone in route 128 XD
Mmhmm! I’d rather have Match Call for other things. Can’t think of any ideas though lol
My best memories were training my pokemon for a gym leader battle after losing… ;~;
You just reminded me of the time I stall battled Morty with Eevee. it was so long. worth it though :3
how XDDDDDD
Sand Attack babe. It couldn’t do anything but Struggle. i have absolutely no idea how i didnt run out of super potions
omfg!!! :3 lel cutie
he had to struggle to death. I didn’t KO Gengar. it was glorious
Lol what I did is: Well, he has like Shadow Ball, Sucker Punch, and Hypnosis and Dream Eater I think. So he’d put me to sleep, I’d wake up with an Awakening and he’d fail Dream Eater. He couldn’t use Shadow Ball, and Dream Eater only worked when I was asleep, and Sucker Punch only worked when I attacked. So Hypnosis – wake up – Dream Eater – Metronome – missed Hypnosis – Sucker Punch – Rest or something – repeat xD
If I had a choice between level grinding and not grinding, I would never level grinding.
It started in Gen 5, it’s gotten worse in Gen 6. Gen 5 started a trend and I’m scared to think what Gen 7 holds. Hopefully a difficulty setting as Chaos said, but is available at the START of the game >:(
and gf even said gen 7 would be simple like gen 1.
I am afraid.
UG!
Simple =/= Easy
but gen 1 = boring and easy
It’s true. I don’t see any reason to like it other than nostalgia.
They better not keep that gym leader limit in RSE!!!! IF THEY DO I FLIPPING TABLES!!!!!
NOT A SINGLE TABLE WILL BE AT MY MERCY!
Elite Four:
Sidney: Shiftry, Crawdaunt, Absol
Phoebe: Dusknoir, Banette, Sableye
Glacia: Froslass, Glalie, Walrein
Drake: Flygon, Altaria, Salamence
:'(
not allowed^^^
Don’t Play.
Considering most of the Hoenn E4 was just many of the same Pokemon, I can see this happening =/
but pressure dusclops DDDD:
that was a really good strategy XD
It was! But battling the same basic Pokemon wasn’t the best challenge. Lookin’ at you Glacia >.>
I think another thing is unlimited TM usage., and new moves that have made it easier. So when you get a new move you can teach it to all your Pokemon, and stronger moves available to more pokemon.
I’d say keep unlimited TM Usage. It was frustrating to choose who to have Secret Power on, or Earthquake.
I like it. But maybe make it so it’s only unlimited after you complete the game, so during the game you have to be more selective.
I’m fine with the unlimited TM usage, that’s a change I actually love xD But the decrease in Pokemon is really agitating me >:( This isn’t the anime, stop trying to draw parallels between it GF :'(
Yeh. I like it myself. I hated that in Emerald there was only one TM26 Earthquake ( nothing to stop me from cloning it though).
But I just feel it’s contributed to making the story easier.
I like your theory of unlimited after completing the game, but not sure how that would be applied =/ Would it be like a star next to it in the bag once you use it, and then you can’t click it again until post-game?
Maybe it greys out, and then after you beat the game you get an item that ‘recharges’ your TMs. I dunno….something like that
That could work! :O
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this is exactly it!
And I hate nerfing all players and the pick order E4!!!
THAT TOO! >:( I want a progressive challenge that gets harder, not all the same level and I choose the order =/
does anyone want to trade for vivillon forms? im looking for moonsoon and icy snow FC:1418-6753-3823
