PJT ’14 – The Games. They Begin.

7 months of planning. 3 months of waiting after sign-ups closed. 40 participants. Three weeks of hardcore battling. This is it. The PokéJungle Tournament of 2014 begins today.

ALL COMPETITORS MUST READ THIS POST FULLY TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE GROUPS STAGE WILL WORK.

Before we begin, the following people still need to confirm their teams before they can take part in any battles. If this is not done ASAP you will be disqualified and your opponents will receive the win. Roksyth, primalwulf, premiertrainer, Miniryu-Ninja, rawbread, Marko XY, AliceXVI, Spetsnaz, simkenno. Please use the form in this post to submit you final teams. If you do not fill this form out we will make attempts to contact you privately soon.

Our tournament is now officially open and all participants who have submitted their teams can begin to battle those in their groups. To do this battles will either need to be arranged privately, or by using Disqus comments. In our comments we will provide each group with a comment thread to post in. Each participant should reply to the comment that corresponds to their group, with their Friend Code and any other relevant information (contact details such as Twitter, for example).

Please remember not to disclose the teams of people you battle. Sharing of battle videos shouldn’t be done until each group has completed the Groups Stage battles, or we say it is acceptable to do so.

Winner/Loser Confirmation

When players have completed a battle we will ask that both parties fill out the form below to announce the winner. As this is anonymous and only staff can view the submissions we will be able to be certain of anyone providing false results. We can ONLY accept results submitted through this form, any other will be ignored. We also recommend you communicate with your opponent about disclosing scores, while we’re happy for participants to openly announce who won or lost, common courtesy is expected – remember to record ALL battle videos!

Once the groups stage battles are complete we will tally up the scores and announce those who have successfully made it through to the elimination rounds. Tie-breaks will need to be carried out if necessary. For confirmation THREE points will be awarded for a win and ONE for a loss. This form will be made present on all future tournament posts over the next two weeks.

Participant Refreshment

No, this isn’t some sort of odd energy drink made from the juices of our participants. We’ve had a lot of updates over the past three months regarding the tournament, so we thought it best to provide a quick set of posts for them to read up on any information they may need.

First off, we’d like to remind all participants that you conduct yourselves with respect. Everyone in this tournament comes from the same PokéJungle Community as you do, and each and every person deserves the same amount of support as everyone else. Chivalry isn’t dead, and your actions should prove thusly.

Battle On!

Our tournament has begun and soon all 40 of our competitors will be fighting it out to find the 2014 PokéJungle Tournament, but the work doesn’t stop there! We’d like to thank every single one of our readers for the support and patience they’ve given us over the past few months, we can’t express how happy we are to have such a great community (even with the little ups and downs) and we hope to see you all for years to come.

On PokéJungle we’ve never really had much of a competitive scene, we’d like to consider changing that. While we can’t confirm any plans or say that something will happen for definite, we can share they’re we’re discussing how we can bring competitive battling to the site. We will continue to hold an annual tournament for all of our readers, but we’re also considering other options and hosting smaller tournaments to give more people the opportunity to take part in a such a huge community event. Stay tuned and we look forward to sharing more details with you as soon as we can.

Thank you all. And good luck to everyone!

As always please ask any questions you may have and we will answer them ASAP. Don’t forget to Like us on Facebook and Follow us on Twitter too!

  3. Oh my gosh, so many great battlers, it’s tough guessing who will win their groups, and even harder guessing the overall champ. It’s going to be an intense tourney and i wish everyone the best of luck! Now, I’m gonna stop commenting cause i don’t want to clutter these comments.

  8. After thinking about it for a while, I think it would be cool to have the Champion’s signature Pokemon be distributed to all of the participants. It would be nice token to have as a memory pf the first PJT :3 Shout out to whomever came up with the idea yesterday!

  9. We already had an accidental slip that should have gone unnoticed, but make sure you DON’T post battle videos until the tourney is completely over for both sides. With the same principal, please don’t spoil your opponents team to anyone until it is over as well.

  23. So, the Poke Games will be rescheduled to the weekend of, and the two weekends after Labor Day.

    This will be Saturdays and Sundays only. The preliminaries if there are more than 24 tributes and the first elimination round will be the weekend of Labor Day. The second round and the quarterfinal will be the next weekend, and the semifinal and final will take place the third and final week.

    There’s also an update on how the semifinal works. Instead of one person being randomly selected to move on while the other two battle it out in the semifinal, each person will battle each other once of the three semifinalists. The two that reach three wins first will move on to the final.

    Stay tuned. 🙂

  26. So im about to fight Lenora on black version and I was looking at the stuff in the museum portion and I noticed something
    There is a mask that is marked “A mask that ancient people used to wear at festivals” It looks very similar to the Strange Souvenir.

    The souvenier is said that it is regarded as a protecter of sorts. Could it be that the new backpacker’s region could be a place where there is a legendary pokemon who was celebrated in festivals. What’ya think!?

  27. Okay everyone, I’ve had a good time on PJ. And before anyone thinks of me as a whore, thank you. I have forfeited (lost) from the Tourney, so i’m out. Just want you guys to know you’ve all been awesome. But one day or another, I must departure away. So if anyoje wants to say anything to me, please do. Sorry for being off topic (who the hell cares, it’s my last day).

  29. There’s more news on Mega Diancie!
    – It will be distributed this fall at GameStop.
    – You can only receive it on Pokemon X/Y. When OR/AS releases you could send it to that game if you want to Mega Evolve it.

  30. I usually don’t restart a Main Series Pokemon RPG to do a Nuzlocke Run. But when I do, it’s Black.

    Why? Because ever since I beat it, I couldn’t figure out what the flare I wanted my team to be with my constant switching them out for old gen mon.

    Anyway, it’s going ok so far. My Nicknaming Theme (which is optional) is Marvel.

    My Team:

    Dewott (CapAmerica)
    Pansear (HumanTorch)
    Roggenrola (Didn’t nickname because I accidentally pressed “B”, but I’ll later nickname her The Thing, despite her being female)
    Pidove (Ms. Marvel)
    Timbur (Wolverine)

    Fallen Warriors:

    Munna (Scarlet, short for Scarlet Witch)

    I’ll continue this Nuzlocke soon. I’m just taking a break for now.

    • Good luck! 😀
      I lost Sokka, my Honedge, to Bide D: I didn’t know it hit Ghost-types! D:
      I have replaced it with Nyla, my Skrelp (named after June’s partner, who has poison. Check for that! :D)
      I also lost Ty Lee to another Absol (I swear Calem’s Absol is gonna be the death of me) and it was gonna evolve soon D: Desna, my Amaura, is her replacement. Yue is the only female in my team so far.
      Yue is the same, Jet just evolved into Chesnaught, Amon is Malamar, and Bolin rocks as a Hippowdon.

      Reply
      • Yikes! That’s a lot of changes to your team!
        Good luck as well!
        Yeah. Friggin Bide does Typeless Damage. :/
        I’m really enjoying Black’s Story once again. It’s so wonderful to get a refresher on what I may have missed.
        I never realized how often Cheren and Bianca battle you in Black. It’s really annoying.
        Since you have a Chesnaught now, I’m guessing you have at least four badges already. I’ll soon get my second in due time. 😀

        Reply
        • Yep D: I was looking forward to a Medicham. It was SOO close D:
          Thanks!
          Stupid Bide, if only I knew! Poor Sokka D:
          BW’s story is phenomenal! And yeah, they tend to get annoying. But the EXP is worth it, I guess 😀
          And yep, as soon as I train up my team and explore Lumiose, I’ll face Clemont! 😀

          Reply
          • You’ve got this! Don’t let his Electric Tactics take over the battle (when will Electric Gym Leaders stop using Emolga; besides ORAS Wattson?).
            Out of curiosity, are traded evolutions allowed? If my Roggenrola and Timbur evolve, could I trade them to myself and trade back? Of course, I won’t give myself any items or teach them moves in White 2 because that’s cheating. 😀

          • I got Bolin to wreck him. No worries 😀
            It’s a gray area in Nuzlockes. It’s under the interpretation of the person playing. I’m allowing it because, technically, it’s my Pokemon still, I’m just evolving it.

          • That’s good to hear (your Bolin and Trade Evos being up to the player).
            I read about Trade Evos being in the gray area as well (fantastic sources are fantastic), but wasn’t sure if it depended on the player, or the games.
            The pokemon are technically mine as you said, so I’ll allow it for myself as well.
            Thanks! 🙂

          • Bolin is very reliable. 😀 I’m learning to hope for more defensive Pokemon. Or fast hitters.
            Cause (luckily my desk is wood, so known on wood!), I know Yue (Azumarill) and Bolin will last awhile…possibly to the end.

  31. About 11 hours until I can fight again. Looking forward to duking it out with the best in the west… I’ll be spending my office breaks Soft-Resetting Zapdos, and when I get a good one I’ll get back to MM of Frokaies.

    Reply
      • The best I got so far is 31/x/30/31/26-27/31, and I tossed it out due to Hidden Power being Bug. 🙂

        I have a good feeling I’ll have better luck with this Zapdos than Froakie tho (800 and counting). Thanks.

        And may the best battler win later.

        Reply
          • Thanks! 🙂

            I read a technique to make testing and going through multiple Zapdos (or any legendary with an announced ability like Pressure or Fairy Aura) faster on Nugget Bridge and wanted to try it.

            I have a fainted Synchronize Timid Espeon in the lead, and Mold Breaker Haxorus with one less speed than Lv70 max speed Zapdos. If Haxorus’ ability is announced first, it’s an instant reset.

          • I had no idea a fainted Synchronizer worked :O And holy cow O_O That’s an awesome way of not having to waste catching it!

          • Yeah! The lead’s abilities with field effects still work while fainted (even other stuff like Suction Cups or Compound Eyes), but the second Pokemon will get sent out.

            The specific-speed Pokemon w/ ability truly saves time by not catching it. Imagine trying to do this for Xerneas/Yveltal (who fortunately don’t usually run Hidden Power in their sets), you would save all the time after catching the legend and having to select a party member to go in the box and having to talk to Lysandre and start his battle to check stats.

            Also, another tip: I traded a different Zapdos to this game first so I don’t have to stare at the Pokedex entry every time I wanted to check its stats.

          • Omfg, I officially love you for that last tip xD It was SOOOOOO ANNOYING having to sit through that with Articuno XD Learn something new every day xD Lots of respect for you Olaf 🙂

  32. Here’s the original article from Nugget Bridge for the curious. Do not settle!
    http://nuggetbridge.com/breeding/efficiently-capturing-roamer-pokemon-x-y/

    For older games, the “-1 speed” technique can be applied to any legend that has an announced ability (Fairy Aura, Dark Aura, Aura Break, Pressure). For ORAS in the future though, I expect to bring a “-1 speed” weather inducer that has a different weather to Groudon/Kyogre (probably T-Tar).

  33. And so, I leave to go back home from Orlando tomorrow. :((((
    Tomorrow is indeed my 1 year PJN anniversary, so I do need to think of something doable in memory of that. I would’ve liked to do something like Wonder Trade 365 Dedennes, but I don’t have the time nor the patience to do so (hell, I waited for the Gringotts ride for 7 hours, every molecule of patience in me is LONG gone).

    The plan when I get home is to do a Top 5/Top 10 of my experiences, MAYBE upload a haul video to my long-in-hiatus YouTube Channel, and catch up on site news and stuff.

    For those wondering, I did have to drop out of the PJT due to the Poke Games, which NEWS FLASH, are being moved to Labor Day, and also because my schedule, for the month of August particularly, isn’t looking too nice in terms of spare time. 🙂

    I have a 5 hour flight to prepare for, so I’m gonna get some sleep now.

    Reply
      • Nah, es all good. I rode it about 10 additional times after that with a wait time of less than 1 hour every time. 😀

        Reply
    • Seven hours…SEVEN HOURS?!?! Master Father Trick House Arceus Aarune bless your soul!

      I’ll think of something special for our day tomorrow. IDK what though.

      I am aware of your moving the Poke Games to Labor Day Weekend. Hopefully, I’ll have Internet in my apartment during that time, if not, then it’s another trip to Starbucks for me (which is just a few blocks down from my apartment; WOOOOOO!!!!).

    BOLIN HOLY BEGEEZUS YOU ARE A CHAMP!

    Okay, time to explain. Bolin, if you don’t know, is my Hippowdon in my Nuzlocke. I’m facing Clemont. He sends out his Heliolisk (who has Grass Knot by the way…I know this). I knew Bolin wouldn’t outspeed so I prayed to Lord Trick House to grant him luck.
    Heliolish used Grass Knot.
    Bolin’s health was going down. BUT HE HUNG ON WITH 9 HP OUT OF 129 (I think some was chipped off, can’t remember).
    Bolin used Dig, and 1-hit dat Heliolisk. LIKE A BOSS. HE SURVIVED AGAINST THE ODDS.
    Okay, let me finish this Magneton (obviously, I will heal first)
    Bolin saved the day, ladies and gents!

    Reply
    • ALL HAIL BOLIN!!! Congrats! Clemont didn’t have it his way today; thank Lord…everyone (to happy to keep typing) that Heliolisk ISN’T Electric/Grass. I’m off to get Clay’s Badge, but first, I’ll have to stop Team Plasma’s shenanigans in the Cold Storage. Had a couple of deaths today, but my best party members are still hanging on. 😀

      • BOLIN SHALL HAVE ALL THE RARE CANDIES!! 😀 😀 😀 😀
        Thank goodness Hippowdon’s are not heavier, or Bolin would have been wiped out.
        And no STAB too is always beneficial. ^^

          • Curses. Greninja’d again. That’s what I get for typing so much. Wait…do we have you as a friend? O__O I could’ve sworn I did at least.

          • WHEN your Nuzlocke has been completed, I can catch you a Growlith and breed it if you want. You give me the info, and I’ll get it done! We can also battle and trade later on as well.

            Out of curiosity, once one is finished with a Nuzlocke, he/she is pretty much free from the rules right? Because I don’t see post game Nuzlocke Videos made by any Youtuber.

          • :O 😀
            You don’t need to breed it xD I’ll just hope you catch one and send it my way xD
            And I think so. I dunno myself.

          • Sure thing (or Djja will since he commented first). However, it’ll have to be post-game since your Nuzlocking right? Or does it not matter?

          • Gotcha! Sorry for the super late response. 🙁 Lost track of time to pick up my Mum. Going to get your Growlithe now!

    • I appreciate it. 🙂
      It’s a pleasure to be part of this community, and I’ll be more than glad to be part of it for many years to come.
      Here’s to another year on PJN. And may the odds be ever in our favor. 😀

  50. Well, about two and a half hours ago I landed back in my homeplace and I’m very disappointed that I had to leave, but I’ll be coming back in 2-3 years when some more construction finishes in the Orlando area.

    I posted an article on my site earlier (from the plane) regarding a brief rule change as well as the official new dates for the Poke Games. I already posted most of that on PJN but additional details are viewable on my site.

    Now that I’m back home, Poke Games and Pika News Network stuff will be kicked into high gear. The final Poke Games updates and some subdivision updates will be coming in the coming week. Here’s a brief preview of what will be featured in the articles:

    Applications will reopen in TBD 2015, not September. We already have a lot of staff, the majority of which haven’t posted in a LONG while.

    A new rule that is effective IMMEDIATELY is that staff will no longer be penalized or be required to post a certain amount of articles a month. It’s expected that they post according to a schedule they set themselves, or whenever something MAJOR comes up. However, I would like to see at least 1 article a month. However, LONG site inactivity will result in a ban.

    A few site subdivisions are at risk of being permanently removed due to inactivity, which means that the staff members assigned to that category haven’t been doing their job. A poll will be created and you can vote for which site subdivisions (if any) to remove.

    The final three subdivisions for 2014 will be Gengar’s Ghostly Ghouls, Sliggoo’s Shiny Secrets and the Random Review Corner, all of which were revealed at my site’s 1 month anniversary, which brings me to the final brief thing.

    Site anniversaries will no longer occur monthly, due to the hassle and lack of visitors. The next site anniversary will occur on December 23th, the site’s 6 month anniversary. They’ll be hosted every 6 months, which not only gives time to put in a lot of thinking for what to do, but so it doesn’t get so repetitive.

    That’s about all for that. As promised, Florida pictures and additional info about my visits is coming SOON. Let’s hope I can get that out before school resumes. 🙂

    Night all!
