Greetings Junglers, Evan here! I’m bringing you the end of the Gym Leader Showdown-series. I had a lot of fun creating this series and I hope you had fun reading it. If so, there might be another series coming…
So, let’s not skirt around it any further. I’ll give you the winner of the Gym Leader Showdown.
It’s Volkner! He won with 24,7% of the votes. He is a very popular Gym Leader among our community apparently!
2nd place: Elesa (17,1%)
3rd place: Clair (16,4%)
4th place: Wallace (16,2%)
5th place: Sabrina (14,9%)
6th place: Valerie (10,7%)
Are you satisfied with the winner? Who should’ve won if you were in charge? Let us know!

I guess that would be easier 🙂
Some time ago, a few people and I started a Pokemon League here at Pokejungle. Well, I’m interested in starting that back up for Sun and Moon. Here are the details for anyone who’s interested:
– There will be 8 gym leaders and a champion to battle.
– The elite four are being dropped, because last time we tried to organize a league there were not enough challengers. This way, there are less people in positions, so there are more challengers.
– The positions will be decided through a tournament, hosted in generation 6. The top 8 will be gym leaders. The winner will choose their type first, second place will choose second, and so on.
– If you are interested fill out this one question interest survey: http://goo.gl/ZyntgK
– If you are interested in participating in the tournament, fill out this survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/X22WY5T
This league will be hosted on the forums, so if you have any ideas, comments, questions, or anything, let me know over there! Thank you!
I’m in!
How can enter this ?
Use the surveys.
and after that ?…….I have no idea wat is that.
What do you mean? The top 8 placers get to be leaders, and the rest get to challenge the leaders. If you beat all eight leaders and the champion, then you are the champion.
-I mean wat should I do after singing up the surveys?
– did u compete by using 3ds or showdown or…?? cuz I like battles.
I think 3DS battling cause I’m in training of several teams
Dam…..So I can’t until buying my 3ds.
Do you not have any 3ds games?
Nope …….I didn’t buy 3ds yet.
Oh. I’m not sure if you’ll have any time to prepare for the tournament then.
I know ….I would like it to be in showdown.
I don’t think I can do that. Showdown skills don’t always reflect in game skills. Also, can we move this over to the forums please? 🙂
Oh, I see what you mean. We are using 3ds for the whole league, tournament and all. I’d say you should start preparing for the tournament after signing up. We’re trying to give time to prepare, but it won’t be too far off. Also, the forums are where it’s being organized, so if you could use that, it’d be great. Thanks! 🙂
What happens when you’re a Gym Leader?
You get to brag. A lot. And challengers of the league battle you, and if they beat all eight, then they get a chance to fight the champion. Also, the league is being organized over at the forums, so for more info, head over there! 🙂
I’m on board. I’m glad we’re starting this up again, but I’m only available to play on the weekends, would that be a problem?
Not at all. I’m think of starting the tournament the weekend after next. That way everyone has a full weekend to prepare if you’re busy on the weekdays. Also I’m thinking of making the tournament last a week to make sure all the battles happen. Also, this is being hosted at the forums, so could you move questions over there please? 🙂
Ok.
Thanks! 🙂
Heh heh heh, probably gonna lose but hey, gym leaders will be fun to challenge
I’ll probably fall flat in this even though since XY I’ve played competitive and won 2 matches in four round tournaments and have been in four
This reminds me are Legendaries aloud?!
Will these be singles matches? I’ve only ever played doubles and a few triples, but never singles
Singles.
Sounds fun, but unfortunately I suck and have no real time to train a team otherwise maybe I’d be in 🙁
The tournament will likely take place the weekend after next.
I haven’t looked at the survey yet since I’m currently busy. Do we have to use a single type across all of our Pokemon during the tournament?
Of course not. The tournament is just to decide leaders.

I may be one of those elitists. ._.
LOL they just dragged Verlisify
I’m going through all my old competitive pokemon and I’m missing much more than I thought. I wonder how they got lost. Also I’m realized many of my old nicknames were horrible.
Guhhhhhhhhh…..errrrrrrrgggghhhhhhhhh
been playing warcraft for……….8 hours straight

DEMONS DEMONS EVERYWHERE ALL IS LOST
*Thud*
You should take a break and play my Ludum Dare submission :3

DEMON I SHALL SMITE THEE
*Swings hammer wildly*
Ok, but you should play it. It’s like, 5 minutes long
I’m trying it out
im addicted to overwatch
I finally finished Twilight Princess for the first time today (HD version). Demons were everywhere in that game. Took me 31 hours to beat, but I didn’t bother to 100% it this playthrough. I’d rather do that in Hero Mode. Now I just need to beat Majora’s Mask 3D to conquer all 3D Zeldas!
I hate TP. I can’t get past the art style, its so unappealing to me.
I didn’t like it either. That’s why I had no motivation to 100% it. Definitely my least favorite Zelda, but it was by no means a bad game. I feel the same way about Majora’s Mask, I still can’t wrap my head around the time mechanic. But I need to do it to finish this journey.
Huh, Twilight Princess is actually my favorite Zelda game
It’s my second favorite. Love WW too much
My biggest complaint is that it almost wasn’t linear enough. I kept losing motivation because I had no idea where to go next. The actual gameplay was great.
Boy you gunna have a time and a half in BOTW lol
Nope, that’s a different situation. Twilight Princess is a game that, in my opinion, tried to be linear and open world at the same time. It just didn’t feel natural to me. Breath of the Wild, on the other hand, is completely open world and really has no set goals. I can get lost in one area and find myself doing something entirely different a few moments later. I probably wouldn’t have to look at a guide.
true true, TP to me didn’t really have that zelda magic, there was something about it that just didn’t click
<3 😛 im so glad you said it and not me. Lol when I first played it (the original version) there was actually so much fog and dark browns and stuff that I actually could not see what was happening on the TV (I soon learned my eyes were bad but even with glasses its still too foggy). Also the story wasn't all that great just ok, it tried to hard to be dark where MM succeeded
How is WoW these days? I haven’t played since WotLK. Now I pretty much play FF14, which pretty much feels like what you would want out of a WoW 2. Nearly everything feeling improved from the golden age of WoW, with really only a few things falling a bit short like PVP.
DAEMONS EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!
AZEROTH WILL NOT BE YOUR SALAD BAR!!!!
CAST HOLY AVENGER, PARRY PARRY, GOING AFK PUG THE HEROISM
Ah, I see. So not much has changed.
Kidding aside, I am glad to see that the games still standing the test of time, despite the fact that Blizz ran out of ideas for it long ago. I’ll just be here waiting for the next patch for ff14 where we finally stop the Goblin Illuminati from using Alexander, a giant super robot believed to be a WMD, but is in fact a time machine, from traveling back in time and making goblins the dominant species on the planet. As you can see its a very serious game.
Also something about some gods trying to harness unlimited power to summon satan into their world and using the most try-hard of characters as their evil goons, but nobody really cares about that part of the story.
i’ve been off wow for say….5 months and everything got changed so i’ve been spending all day reacquainted with the new rotations
that’s understandable. I use to play hunter back in the day, and I regret it a lot. It kinda sucks to not have any class you can really compare yourself to. Oh well. How I play a Dragoon in ff14, which has no class it can really be compared to. I make good decisions when it comes to classes.
i has level 100s in every classn
That’s good. I really don’t like playing multiple characters/classes. Back then I only played hunter and Pally, and now I pretty much plat Dragoon and Dark Knight(because its the scrub tank). Oh well.
Paladin
Warrior
Monk
Earthen! Remember the PJ League? We’re starting it again. Are you participating?
If he is we might all be doomed!
Ehh, I’ve battled him many times. He is pretty good, but definitely not unbeatable.
Me I’m very fragile in team building I build off a good strategy then something slips in the match and I fall short but that’s in competitive play where every one has the same thing so I might become a Gym Leader.
Or I might fall short again
I can relate to that. High risk high reward teams can be tricky.
Yeah I sometimes do weather teams yet never use them cause I can’t train a certain one or have it and normally go with unique ones like Girafarig, Primeape and such
I resent that
i should be revered and feared as the almighty master of brute force
Brute Force can be beaten.
Oh really?
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-397090970
Thanks for cherry picking the time where you won by using brute force. Definitely means it can never be beaten /s
whatever i’ve pulled many sweeps in my day
and right now the meta is extremely stagnate
hopefully around Sun and Moon new pokemon will spice things up for about a month
X_X
BACK FOUL DEMON!!!
So yes?
I’m confused.
Playing for…..9 hourds…..
Shouldn’t we wait until a while after Sun and Moon release to do this? I mean, I’ve personally set a goal for myself to learn competitive battling in Gen 7 (I know I said that for Gen 6, but I’m serious this time. I was younger and stupider back then). I guess we’ll have more future opportunities, regardless!
The gym are being decided before Gen 7. But, if you do become a good battler, then you can challenge the league for a shot at champion. A reason for this is so that the gym leaders are experienced trainers, like in the games. Also, I’m glad that you’re getting into competitive battling! I look forward to a match in the future!
Will it showdown style (OU, etc)?
Hey yo whaddup!! Guess who finally joined the jungle after being a guest for so long ;)))
And you used the picture too!
Yup!
Are you into battling? You should join the league tourney if you are.
Yeah, I was just reading it i might give it a try!
Sounds great! I look forward to our match (if we get paired).
Haha i hope so
How are we getting pairings anyway?
dis maybe?
http://challonge.com/tournament/bracket_generator
Ok I hope to fight you all just to see do I have what it takes to become a Gym Leader
I was thinking that, but I’m looking into other styles of tournaments. Losing once would mean that you are out, which I’m not sure I like.
It could be set to round robin like in competitive play but it’s your choice I’m cool with it
Can you tell me more about that?
I’m pretty sure it’s where you have several rounds or so with no elimination and at the end the person with the most wins (and possibly subtract loses) wins.
Hmm. I kinda like that, I’ll look into it.
Ok that’s what I did when I made a tournament at my school with it yet by the next club meeting all but four people left theirs at home or weren’t there so it was a mess
But in competitive it’s really fun
You can still challenge the league if you don’t join the tourney, yeah?
Of course. The league doesn’t officially begin until after the release of SM.
Alright. I can’t join the tourney because I deleted both my gen 6 files.
I feel your pain. I deleted my Oras.
And also, the tourney is just if you want to be a leader.
YAY! You are now an OFFICIAL member! 😀
Yay! I saw you a while back but thought you just left
I was always around…in the shadows
Thanks for using my suggestions btw 🙂
No problem 😀
Nice avatar.
Haha thx!
Very Angry at Go I got in second 10km egg an Eevee yet I evolved it into my best Pokemon and my 5km I was working on was a freakin’ Frackin’ Goldeen of all things Goldeen!!!
*gurgle* i feel my body dying…….
this was basically my day…..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAxZVZgpmI0
That’s my favorite episode
and i’m serious about the organ failure….my back aches, my eyes are singed, my hands are clammy. i am experiencing kidney pain, i keep stroking this knife from dinner and i can’t stop seeing demons
That sounds terrible
well those are just my usual
but now the demons
Eww…
South Park…
what’s next you don’t like Drawn Together or Code Monkeys?
I have no idea what those are…
(South Park’s animation style makes me barf)
I only watched it when I was littler yet now I’m not aloud to
I don’t and never will watch it. It’s just…. too…. uh,
Disgusting, Graphic, other
I’m with ya except that episode I liked
Unless we have another surprise announcement like with Mudsdale, I feel like we wont get anything for the 1st of september. I feel like this month will end the pattern.
mudsdale was a surprise announcement?
no
so why he say he was.
Kind of. The announcement of the announcement happened like 4 hours in advance. Relatively a surprise.
I was surprised by it, i entered facebook and saw an article with comfey on the cover and i was like 😮 whaaaaaaa
I woke up with literally 3 minutes until the announcement. What a great way to wake up lol.
Well I have my 10th grade orientation tomorrow and I don’t even know when I have to get up so I gotta go to bed so a few things
Thanks for the Great Summer in the Jungle and I hope to spend a lot more great times in the Jungle (I’ll be here tomorrow I’m just sapping it up)
Let’s all have a Good fight in the Tournament
Goodnight Jungle Have a good rest of your Summer! Kurusu Out! (falls on bed fast asleep)
Good night! You were lucky my summer ended two weeks ago but i dont mind it that much, its my senior year and its been going good so far!
I’m really missing the free time. I’m hoping that once I get used to school this year I’ll have more free time.
I always have free time but its because i have this reaaally big problem, procrastinating, its one of the thing i hope to get rid off before i reach college
I always have free time because I DON’T Procrastinate. You finish, then you do stuff
Ehh, the issue for me is that I have to stay for 2 to 2 and a half hours after school everyday no matter how much homework I have.
Did I just reply to the wrong comment?
Sort of xD
I just did it again! Dx
Whoops.
Lucky. I’ve been in school for a week and a half.
I think everyone elses Summer is over 😛
But yeah, good luck 🙂
(Very Drowsy voice)
Thank you
I’ve been out of school for like 5 or 6 years..good luck, may these next few years pass quickly and treat you well!
So about the league, the tourney is to see who becomes a gym leader and it will be held in oras and then the actual league will be made in sun and moon?
What about X and Y?
Idk but if they are included in the tourney then they have to make rules so that oras users dont use incompatible pokemon i guess
Actually, my ORAS party should be good by then. It should just be ORAS because it’s less limitations.
I have many pokemon that work competitively so i shouldnt have a problem either, now i just need to work out a team, i already know that i’ll probably use my klinklang and my contrary serperior
Yeah pretty much.
Symbolize and mythology r best topic to read for me……I don’t think he kinda overthinking though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX9Yuc1n9MQ I think I need to read more about Alchemy cuz I am still new at this.
Well good night junglers! These first hours of officially being a member have been quite nice! See yall tomorrow hopefuly 🙂
Good night, don’t let the darkrai bite.
Bye! 🙂
Earthen need sleeps…..10 hours pf wow……so much content
if i die in my sleep i want you to know……i’m the one who peed on the sofa
So it was you! I’ve been wondering about that for weeks!
Bad boy! You get to sleep outside tonight ):(
Anyway, G’nite!
I hope you die. I mean don’t… die (o_o;)
it’s ok i hate you too
Aww. That’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me

The full version
I laugh farted
But one day someone is going to animate this with the entire song
Exeggecute would begin to evolve and the neck would zip throughout the entire poke planet
Gosh, this deserves much more recognition.
I’ve finally convinced my fiance that hawaii is the best option for our honeymoon next summer 😀 hope it lives up to the sun and moon hype!
Congratulations, hope the trip goes great!
Hawaii is AMAZING! 😀
I hope you have a great time.
Oh shoot, for the Pokemon tournament that is going to be held here, was I supposed to put my screen name or my disques username?
PokeJungle name. I see you entered, you’re fine. 🙂
Personally, I’d have Elesa first with Sabrina a very close second.
Anyone here try to use Pokemon that look like they would be cool to use during playthroughs but just can’t seem to keep them around?
For me it would have to be Quagsire. I’ve tried many times to use one and just can’t enjoy it
I think I’ve only abandoned a pokemon twice in a play through. Pidgeot, because it sucks, for Togekiss, and Fearow for Honchkrow. Both in SoulSilver
Poor Pidgeot. It’s move pool sucks and it’s mega barely helped it out
Dear god the move pool is awful lol. At least the mega looks cool enough
this is where Lava Pig concept coming from. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamapua%27a#Mythology
i want my lava pig now
Am I the only one who feels that the Johto series anime is like 80% filler and 20% story content?
The Johto arc was pretty terrible
So after wasting several hours headbutting trees looking for Heracross, I just learnt that it is exclusive to HeartGold ffs..
It’s not HG exclusive. I just caught one on my SS game. Try headbutting trees in Azalea Town near the pokecenter 🙂
Yeah thats what I’ve been doing for like 3 hours lol and all I encounter is Spearow and Aipom. Which is odd because according to Bulbapedia, Heracross’s encounter rate is 30% and Aipom’s 20%.
Lol usually I have trouble with Exeggcute. I usually find Heracross in two places: by the pokecenter or the trees to the left of the gym. I hope you find one!
Desperately need a Fighting type for Whitney
Heracross would wreck Whitney! You could also trade a drowzee for Machop
Am not really fond of the Machop line (although I’m aware of Machamp being a beast in PvP)
But I caught Drowzee at least!
Well you can find one from like New Bark to Azalea. I found mine around the route 31 (east of Violet City) but I think it’s different for Gen IV. Gotta find em in special headbutt trees too which relies on your ID number
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I FINALLY CAUGHT HERACROSS!!
modest nature
Hasty
ehhhh not bad
Guts or swarm for its ability?
Swarm
Meh…..at least the nature wasn’t terrible 🙂
Yes I wanted Guts but I’m not gonna spend another 4 hours headbutting trees lol
I don’t blame you lol
Just happy I have my fighting type to kill Miltank and Heracross also happens to be one of my favourites anyway
Timid Heracross is better
Everyone knows that I’m the best Gym Leader, though. Sorry, moving.
Super sad that Marlon and Olympia didn’t even make it to the Top!! :((
