It’s that time of year again! Today we are proud to announce the return of our PokéJungle Tournament, with PJT16! We took a year off last year due to a few backend issues, but now it’s back and we couldn’t be more excited.
PJT16 will take place during summer 2016 (July/August) and will pit our readers against one another to find our 2016 Champion. This year all matches in will be played in the 6 VS. 6, singles format. At the time of writing we are still finalising rules and tournament structure, though competitors can expect to see them remain similar to the rules and format we used in PJT14.
This year we have decided to predominantly host PJT on the PokéJungle Forums. This not only expands the pool of competitors, but also allows for easier contact and organisation during the course of the tournament. We will of course post updates and news here on the main site!
With all of the above in mind we now invite players to sign-up using the form below! Please remember to only sign-up if you know you will be available during summer. As always we will maintain a list of reserve players, but spots will be limited.
Much like last year we will be looking for a small group of people to help manage PJT16 with me. If you’re interested and wish to become a PJT Supervisor, giving help completing WLD forms, confirming teams and participants and more (who knows, you might get a behind-the-scenes looks at how PJN is run!), either let me know via Twitter (@its_moving or @pokejungle) or in the comments/forums. Supervisor Sign-up forms will be available soon!
For further rules and details please visit the PokéJungle Tournament 2016 forum!
I’m not really experienced at competitive battling, so I’m sitting this out. Also I’m on holiday in South-Africa in August, so I don’t think I’d even have time… 🙁
But I do wonder if the battles will be recorded, so people can watch! I’d like that.
Aw, sorry to hear that! I’d love to say that battles will be recorded, but I don’t think it would be possible to have them all recorded.
Perhaps some of the finals we can get captured. Who knows!
Even if some of the finales will be captured, I’ll be totally okay. I’d love to see some battles between people on this site!
Holiday in South Africa?
Yeah, going to make a roadtrip for 3 weeks through the country while going on safari’s. Also going to Capetown and Johannesburg. Already very excited!!
Awh damn, I would’ve loved to join. But… college
What are you studying?
I wouldn’t have time to get a team ready and compete this year, but I would love to still help out. Moving, if you’re still looking for people to help, I’d be available.
That’d be great. Have you got a way to contact you?
Yeah, call me.
Maybe.

email, facebook, texting, And Of Them work, Whatever Is easiest
OK! I’ll probably be in contact soon! 🙂
I’m not a comparative battler, so I have no intrest. Good luck to others that plan to enter. Anyways, the Wii U is said to have it’s supply completely depleted and production halted this year. As we all know, the Nintendo NX is going to be the next Nintendo system. It seems like it will actually be releasing this 2016.
I hope they rerelease pokken for nx..it’s the only game making me want to get the wii u
It’ll probably have backwards compatibility
Confirmed to be false.
i don’t know last time i did this it did not end well
But that was last time, and now it’s this time
Learn from your mistakes

1. ?????
I’ll be out for the month of July, but I’d still like to participate in August and help make any preparations in June.
Definitely Joining!!!!
Others should to!
If you’re not a battler, this could be a good start.
If you are disappointed from your results years past, this is you chance to start over and try again, and learn from what happened!
When is the last day to sign up?
There is no last day at the moment. It’s whenever we feel there are enough people. 🙂
Ok, thanks.
I dunno, am I a 5 or 6, green?
5.
I only made it to round 2 before, but this should be interesting. I’ve signed up.
I would join but I don’t have the patience to build a team or anything lol
Good luck to anyone joining!
Will the tournament be XY based or ORAS? The reason is that I have almost none of my items in ORAS lol.
Because of item clause, you only need to transfer 6 items at most, it shouldn’t take long…
Unfortunately the 3DS belongs to my wife and we only have one haha. Also, I don’t have other people who aren’t as busy as my wife and I to even do the smallest transaction. I beat ORAS as fast as I can with 12 pokemon caught, so…oh well but that’s life. I have a little toddler (loves XY series – win!), my wife’s got nursing school, and I have microbiological research to do.
ORAS. 🙂
Thanks! I probably won’t be able to to attend this tournament due to a small child of mine running amuk (a-grimer).
This is really cool. Too bad I sold my AS with all my competitive mons :/
Why would you sell your game and not transfer the Pokemon out of it?
I was too lazy lol and I wanted to take a break from Pokemon.
A BREAK FROM POKEMON?!
Yeah I was playing it too much man I clocked in over 1000 hours in Pokemon Y. Oras came out and it was disappointing for me so I sold both games.
Okay yeah 1000 hours is like a lot. I get it now.
Yep lol. Breeding for perfect IVed Pokemon takes a very long time.
That’s me right now. I’m just making a team of my favorites for kicks and giggles.
Pokemon Bank is a thing
True but I like starting from scratch every new generation.
I would like this could be happen on pkmn showdown.
Another NX Controller Rumor. It looks reasonable real, but still looks like a fake render.
– The upper “nub” of the control moves, while the other one feels static.
– The roller on the top feels like a mouse scroll-wheel. Yet, it is not the final design.
– The haptic feedback feels like Apple’s “taptic” engine. It’s not similar to a regular rumble.
– There is a 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom.
This is not the final controller design, so if it is real is not freak out.
RE:Edited Comment with Pictures.
The NX had another controller leak. Take this as fake or unconfirmed for now, people have been hoping on the bandwagon of making controllers that look similar to the patient. Anyways, this controller was supposed to be similar to the last leak.
– Only the upper “nub” of the stick moves, the bottom part is static.
– The rollers on the top feel like a mouse scroll-wheel. Though, it’s not the final design.
– Haptic feedback is similar to the Apple “taptic” engine.
– 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom.
This will not be the final design of the controller, but I wanted to share this and get your opinions.
Seems like another gamepad…..
Unless they have a more traditional controller as an option, I’m staying far away from the NX
Also confirmed fake
You are correct! Thanks for the update!
Unfortunately. I kinda liked that controller. It was different but reminded me of a Vita.
LF Hidden Ability Amaura/Aurorus any gender/level. PM me in PJ Forums or reply if you wanna trade. Default offer is Ocean Vivillon. <3

Uh, well you can breed HA from male this gen, y’know. <3
18-23 days until Corocoro
And I swear if they stiff us with nothing worthwhile
Considering there has been nothing announced it isn’t like they can just rehash info. So they have to actually give something. So yah… I mean there may not be much but I am sure there will be something.
They already announced that there would be huge Sun and Moon info, so it’s safe to get excited. I’m thinking that we’ll get starters and some gameplay screenshot and story information. That matches what happened in previous generations.
I kept thinking that maybe they wouldn’t show the player characters right off the bat, but I think if they are gonna show significant gameplay they are gonna have to. I wouldn’t be surprised if we get the starters and the player character art. That may be all we get, but it’s worth the hype!!! lol
I can’t wait anymore. I think it’s great that we get major info. We deserve it so much after all this pain and waiting GF has put us through :((((((( stupid gf.
i know but they could easily stiff us with only silhouettes or just nonsense info
They wouldn’t say there will be a major announcement if we’d only get some silhouettes.

Nice team. I like how you stuck with ground types but there’s still diversity from the second types.
you kidding this team is my heart and soul
none of those carbon copy teams just using the same stall gliscor or scarf garchomp or landorus or Gastrodon
Sorry, I don’t understand this comment.
I don’t just run common sets like some robot
I have my own way of using this team
Did I offend you? I was trying to complement you.

Was there any need to write that word after “gg”?
It honestly seems like you can be a sore winner as well as a loser and you wonder why people steer clear of you
Y’all should do a smash tournament, it’d be pretty neat.

Holy shit that is Sparky
And damn it all I still don’t see Ash with a Bergmite
Yeah that’s wat I mean but I forget the name.
