And by hiring I mean “looking for volunteers”. I’ve been running this website for many, many years and it isn’t because I’m superhuman. If I were, it’d probably have more content and a few extra features. I have a lot of people to thank for helping me make the site what it is today and shaping it along the way. Moving and I, the two people most involved with the site at the moment, really need an extra person or two to help fill out content however, and so we are appealing to our loyal readers to see if someone is interested in joining the staff ranks.
What are the benefits? Although we can’t pay anyone (site revenue attempts to cover site bills), we can provide experience which is especially pertinent to those who wish to pursue careers in journalism, PR or within the game industry. We regularly prepare weekly agendas, proofread articles and come up with new ideas for content which are skills that come in handy if you are preparing for or enrolled in college. I was actually surprised how many classes focused around things I was already doing in my spare time.
You also get the chance to meet an international selection of friends with very particular sets of skills, skills we have acquired over a very long career. I have had the opportunity to meet many members of my team here in Japan and have found it rewarding to work alongside them, online and off.
What do we expect from volunteers? Here comes the big, important part for getting accepted: the requirements. We expect at least one article a week. Doesn’t sound like a lot? You’d be surprised. Many of the people who express interest in writing for the site find it too challenging to actually follow through on; whether that’s because they had a hard time balancing writing with real life or they just weren’t quite as passionate as they thought, it can be tough. More than one article a week would be amazing, but we try to keep expectations reasonable and respectful.
Think you have what it takes to be an official Jungle team member? Please send an email to pokejungle [x] pokejungle.net (replace the [x] with an @) with the following information:
- Name:
- Age: (you must be at least 15, sorry)
- Location: (country is fine)
- Short biography:
- Writing experience:
- News preference: (Pokémon or Nintendo)
- Sample article: (details below)
For the Sample Article I’d like to read a speculation article about what kind of plot Pokémon Sun & Moon will have. This could include things like evil teams, regional threats or Professor Kukui’s mysterious assistant Lillie. This is totally your own opinion, but try to keep the writing similar in tone and style to what you normally read here. Be sure to proofread before sending it. You also give us permission to post your sample if we choose to in the future.
And to you readers who aren’t able to or don’t want to write anything: we love you. Don’t worry 🙂 Thanks for reading.

Wow I just got on serebii to check some moves and I see freaking NEWS!!! And I’m so happy we finally got a koala Pokemon I just wish it was a grass type but oh well still pretty happy and also love the dog being rock type!!!!!
It could evolve to become grass. It has the log that it is hugging.
Yeah that’s true
Here are the two other scans. Another image of the puppy and Rotom.
I imagine that one of the dog is the official official art while the others are simply extra fun ways to show off its personality
I think the same. This one has more of a full body shot and just gives off a more official vibe.
Controversial opinion incoming (?): As an Australian … I’m kind of disappointed in the Koala. I find it to be a bit ‘meh’ – it looks like an old man. The dog on the other hand <3 <3 <3
I think the koala better wow me, or I will think they would’ve wasted it when they could’ve made a solid grass Pokemon.
WELL THIS NEWS WAS UNEXPECTED AND JUST MADE ME VERY VERY HAPPY
When do you think we will get English names for the two? Are you expecting a trailer or do you think we need to wait until E3? In the meantime, put in your name predictions for the Pokemon, I’m interested to see what people come up with. My very pathetic naming skills led me to come up with Solidog, and Koalazy. Something about them sounds off though.
I know the Japanese word Iwa is rock, so maybe it will have a rock reference in its name.
But I also suck with names so don’t ask me
OOHHH MY GOD THEY ARE SO CUUTE!!!! BEST DOG!!! AND KOALAAAA!!!
SO HYPE
Serebii updated with some info by the way.
How are you supposed to pronounce “Furuuru Cannon”?
Flower cannon
Just in time for leaks! I think the Dog is adorable and the koala’s ability is really cool. Anyway, I’m thinking the evil team maybe a cult this time around due to Sogaleo being based on that alchemical lion thing.
I just saw a terrific Pokemon finals or just evolution leak Popplio is great and a little like dewot I absolutely love it!!!!!!
What?
I found this out it might be popplio’s final evolution on the same website I found the others called heavy.com just look Pokemon sun and moon leaks look Iwankko and Nekkoala then look for starter stuff they all look pretty cool!
A little late with this but that dewott she’ll should have raised a regular flag, aside from it being English
Why are you on heavyr. .Never go to heavyr!
It was the first option that piped up.
Phwew. . .ok ?
Eh even if their not real they still hold so things good
Rowlet keeps its properness
Kitten is the feminine one
Popplio is not to op for me to not want it!
That’s so obviously fake. Why is it in English? And that’s normal Litten above it. Plus Dewott’s shell
Well who cares I like them I hope this is it and I’ll post the others in a moment to show you!
“Who cares”
…Uh….
Here’s the other two best I’ve seen of starters
I don’t really like any of them honestly.
Well too bad I like them and that’s what counts to me!
we’ve seen these already, they have been going around the site for weeks 😛
it’s literally dewott in a different outfit
Stop hating on it better than the Mermaid!
That doesn’t make it good.
Just because you like it doesn’t mean nobody isn’t allowed to hate on it haha
Well do you have to go rain on parade!
Yes.
Well then you can go cry when these are the starters you little Magikarp!
these are very much fake…. but if it makes you happy, then yes these are the starters evo’s 😛 just don’t get your heart broken when they are not. :C
Ok thank you Lavender swirling the only person who isn’t a complete troll!
🙂 thats the sweetest thing anyone on the internet has ever said to me, lol XD
Well you’re convincing yourself that it’s real even though these scans have been out for quite a bit. There are too many things that scream fake about it. I’m not trying to rain on your parade. I’m trying to to be realistic
Ok I take it back about calling ya’ll trolls except mega Tyranitar Yoshi
If I’m proven wrong, then I’d be more than happy to apologize. Until then, I’m going to remain skeptical. You have your opinions and I have mine.
Ok sounds fair I get a little carried away sometimes and forget it a discussion not an argument so let’s leave it at that!
I think that since to identity of Nekkoala is the “half awake Pokemon” it would be cool if the animation in battle for it had it blinking and rubbing it’s eyes like it just woke up.
“CoroCoro hints that Rowlet, Litten, Popplio and Iwanko all hide a secret” ??????????????????????????????????????????
I just read this and was like… TELL ME MORE lol
FUSION
U
S
I
O
N
shhh, don’t wake the beast that is earthen, he’ll hear that and come running XD
He should be happy, the new doggo is rock type
yeah and its adorable too
I know! I hope it has multiple evolutions unlike Furfrou
Evolves to rock/fairy…lol that would be funny
^ I hope it does, i need more members in my fairy world domination plan
Earthen would flip out
nOO
GameFreak: We want the furry audience!
…….
They can do a special evolution?
I’m missing something here….Corocoro leaking?
yeah check serebii
I’m back and wow the puppy is adorable and the koala is my kind of pokemon haha
I wish my japanese wasn’t so out of touch so I could figure out these corocoro scans and what they say properly hahaha…. sobs
Welp, time to see how quickly DeviantArt works!
Here’s the info:
Nekkoala is a Normal-type koala and is classified as
the “Half Awake Pokemon.” Its Ability is “Deep Sleep,” which prevents
it from being afflicted with a status condition other than sleep. It’s
0.4m tall and 19.9kg.
Iwanako is a Rock-type dog – it’s classified as the
“Puppy Pokemon.” Its ability is either Keen Eye or Vital Spirit. It’s
0.5m tall and 9.2kg. It’s the unidentified Pokemon we saw in the corner
of one of the trailers. It knows Bite attack. The magazine hints there
is a secret involving Iwanako and its first Pokemon Trainer.
Those who attend the Volcanion and the Mechanical Magearna movie will receive a QR Code that can be scanned in Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon to unlock a Level 50 Magearna. Its Ability is Soul Heart and a new move called Furuuru Cannon and will be at Level 50.
a level 50 Megearna… that will be level 5… wut? 😛
Typo. I fixed it.
ok, I sorry XD
Oh god Sun and Moon is going to go Digimon Frontier on us, isn’t it?
That’s what people said with Megas, and now it’s being said again with supposed syngery evos.
What if this mystery the starters and Iwanako have is……SYNCHRO EVOLUTION!
@EarthenWarrior Quick, mega punch me back to reality!
The pup is the tuner Pokemon needed to synchro evolve the starters ..
Let’s rev it up!
I’m so glad earthens not here ?
There’s already “art” of the koala. Kill Me :^)
HEY! on the page with the Koala if you look up at the region map, right beside the snow capped mountains there is a big like shine star thing, I wonder what that means
*its over like barren land too*
I was wondering that as well. Probably just visual, or the more unlikely option of being where the Pokemon is found.
No.. . It’s definitely a very important place. It’s by no means random or for something we already know of
Yeah but one thing off topic with gyms on the rocky island with shrine anyone else think the black piece of island might be a gym area? Just askin
I actually at first glance suspected a gym
Can’t wait for TyranitarTube to create 15 new videos out of this
and verlisify
And I’ll enjoy them all . .?
New article yo
What’s it about?
Just the Corocoro that people have been posting
This could be great. I do love writing, and more writing credentials are always amazing to get. Plus, writing stuff I enjoy would be pretty fun 🙂
I would like to apply, but I’m not an english speaker, and sometimes I forget some words/the sentence structure 🙁
I’m assuming that the writing for the sample article should be American English, before I unleash my “colour”s, “behaviour”s, “manoeuvre”s, and “aubergine”s on everyone… XD
I’m 14 darn it. But I can’t do it because the amount of schoolwork I have these days is probably more than the amount of college work or office work you guys have.
