  4. I’ve been trying to find substantial evidence for or against the latest batch of rumors, and I think I may have found something. With every Alolan form we’ve gotten, the species name hasn’t changed. Vulpix is still the Fox Pokemon, and Meowth is still the Scratch Cat Pokemon. Every Alolan form has had an ambiguous species name that allows for possible changes without affecting the name. However, if Koffing becomes a Fire-type, how can it still be the Poison Gas Pokemon? How can a Ground-type Grimer still be the Sludge Pokemon?

    • Maybe the species names of Alolan Pokémon we know of haven’t changed since these Pokémon weren’t in need of a different species name.

      Reply

      • Maybe, but that just strikes me as odd because the chance seems slim that all of the ones we’ve gotten fit that criteria, unless of course it was planned.

    • You have a point there which means if your correct Growlithe could still get one yet Abra really can’t turn Fighting due to being the Psi Pokemon

      Reply

        • I actually hope Abra won’t get one it would ruin its entire basis of being switching from being a master of the Mind to going to Master of The Martial arts

          Growlithe I accept

          I hope Raticate does though

          Reply

    • This is a very interesting theory. I looked up their Japanese categories too and it checks out. Given we do have so few revealed so far it could well just be a coincidence but what it does mean is that Growlithe and Arcanine fit into this trend too where their category wouldn’t contradict their type. In any case the category part is sort of a taxonomic label to aid in identification of that particular pokemon so if an Alolan species changes affinity completely or develops a very prominent trait I could see them giving it a new category. It is hardly gamebreaking :p

  5. If Valerie and Volkner were switched this would pretty much be my thoughts on the leaders here, so I guess I cant complain too much

  6. Going back to the Mega Magearna Article that was only popular for a few hours till worlds began does anyone think it’s Farfetched to give another Mythical that already had a movie but gets a Mega after.

  7. Yay for Volkner.

    Interestingly enough, switching Clair and Wallace would basically be my thought on these six.

    Both times I voted for Volkner and he won.

  8. If I could make my own top 6 of all time:

    1 – Drayden
    2 – Winona
    3 – Crasher Wake
    4 – Misty
    5 – Elesa
    6 – Wallace

    What about you?

  13. I wish Morty was in this, but anyway. I voted for Volkner (and then Wallace and Clair as a guest on different computers because honestly. I don’t care for these gym leaders.

    • Yas!! imo Johto had like the best Gym leaders, I love all of them except chuck and Falkner and even then they are pretty good

  17. Holy cow! The orange league were basically trials!!!! I was just looking on bulbapedias gym leaders page and saw them and how ash has to do it and go around the island is so similar to the trials in Alola! How did I not notice this before :O

    Reply

  19. I never actually realized that Volkner was quite popular lol. He just seemed bored, and I never saw anything big in him.

    Reply

  20. Clair and Wallace got in 3rd and 4th… goes to show how you have to be edgey or literally a model to win these… geez, Volkner is so boring

    Reply

      • Yeah, same. And no one talks about him either, until now for some reason. He is really bland for an electric leader too. Lt Surge is an army dude, Wattson is a chubby mall owner, Elesa is a super model, and Clemont literally lives in the Prism Tower and is a scientist. Volkner is just another edgey, blond, and depressed cry-baby

        Reply

        • I guess it’s just everyone’s opinion, I respect them for what they choose. But most of the gym leaders on this list are ones that are barely talked about, (except Wallace) like you said.

          Reply

          • Fair enough. Wallace and Iris became champions. But the point stands. Wanting to Challenge the E4 was a part of Volkners story in DP.

            Also his relationship to an E4 member (Flint) added an interesting dynamic.

            Volkner actually had his back story shown which explained why his character was the way he is. Granted Sabrina also had this to an extent.

          • Yeh. I’m just saying Volkner is interesting enough to justify him winning the poll. He has enough of a story, in my opinion.

            Obviously I have my own personal favourites.

          • I guess he has enough of a story, but not the most story out of the 6 here
            Not saying wallace had the most, but valerie had some

          • hers was like all in the anime and very little in the game, I love hers though, her ability to talk to pokemon by loving and understanding them is just top notch

          • her battle with ash in the anime had so much skill put into it and like even ash was giving it his all during it, that doesn’t happen often lol

          • I think they were each equal in terms of story. I won’t say any of them were boring, but obviously there are some I prefer over others, and that’s what ends up deciding the poll.

          • Valerie had a backstory and a dynamic explanation of her character too both inside and outside the games but everyone still loves to hate on her so I don’t think its going to change much, Volkner won, not everyone is gunna like it but it is how it is. 😛

          • With Valerie, it’s not about her story, I just dislike her design to be honest. Also being in a fashion show is slightly lower on my list than having the ability to design technologically advanced structures. But that’s where opinion comes into it I guess 😉

          • She’s a designer, not just in a fashion show, I mean, artistry is what makes the world go round, you cant escape it, its in science as well to an extent and designing advanced structures, they are both designers just of different things, so theres that, its human expression. Her design though imo is really top notch, where volkners is extremely boring, but thats because our tastes differ, and thats ok.

          • That’s fair 🙂 I’m more of a science geek myself than an artist, so I guess my opinion makes sense in that regard.

    • So Volkner was basically like any other Gym Leader. Fascinating.

      Volkner was shown as someone incredibly talented, to the point where he lost interest because couldnt find a serious challenge. The only Gym Leader who expressed interest in actually moving forward in his career by Challenge the E4.

      In the Anime he was responsible for designing much of Sunnyshores advanced technology including Sunnyshore Tower.

      I guess you can always find enough of a story for a character if you look hard enough. And it’s easy to write off a character you don’t like by saying they’re ‘boring’.

    • Please. If Clair had won, you would have said “Of course a girl won. This is more of a which girl is the hottest contest.” Admit it.

      Reply

    • tbh, Clair is kind of edgy, more so a spoiled brat that had a tantrum when you beat her.
      I love her design (also, some people could argue she looks like a model) and a bit of her personality, but that kind of turns off people. It’s why I love Jasmine over Clair.
      Volkner took his loss in stride. Heck, he was happy to lose cause it meant he wasn’t the strongest. He was bored because he lost the thrill, and losing to a decent opponent can do that to you.

  23. I have a feeling the next Sun/Moon reveal vid will be released on Friday, September 9th. Most videos have been revealed on a Monday or Friday, and are typically released to beat out the Corocoro leaks.

  28. Why is Volkner liked? I thought he was known as a character who sulks? Can someone explain the appeal of Volkner?

    Personally, if I could decide I would have easily have Elesa as the winner, as a bit of a sidenote

    Reply

    • 1) Cool and simple design
      2) cool city with cool theme
      3) mains the beautiful beast known as Luxray
      4) electric type
      5) has a bit of story
      6) Flint dynamic

      Reply

        • Well his story is that he’s depressed and kind of lost interest in battling. And then Flint, his good buddy, stops you and asks you if you can help reignite his spark for battling! So then you get him to return to the gym and stuff and remind him why he likes being a gym leader

          Reply

          • Oh that’s quite awesome actually, I only seem to remember him being depressed…. I never disliked him, but I just never understood why he would be considered a favourite.. That clears everything up, cheers!

        • His story with Flint was good. It shows how a long term friend will always be there for you. Flint sees his friend going through a rough patch, and so sets off to reignite his passion.

          Volkner was shown as an incredibly smart and talented person who designed a lot of Sunnyshore city, with an emphasis on harnessing electrical energy (Sunnyshore Tower which is anime exclusive)

          Reply

          • Well i’m watching MandJTV’s Nuzlocke of Pokemon Platinum so I shall probably end up seeing this again for myself soon

          • I think the anime does more justice to him that the games. The anime allowed them to expand his story quite a bit.

          • I actually played Platinum after I played ORAS, weirdly enough

            What happened in his appearance in the anime?

          • It basically expanded on his Game story.

            Volkner had completely lost interested in challengers for his Gym Badge, that he just started handing them out for free. Flint seeing this tried his best to get through to his friend, realising the only way to do this was to have a battle against a string trainer (Ash) to reignite his passion.
            Volkner was shown to have built Sunnyshore tower which controlled all the electrical transport in the city. After Team Rocket attacked them during his battle with Ash, he realised the power was out due to his tower being damaged. He set to repair that immediately, posting his battle with Ash until he ensured his tower was repaired and electricity was flowing properly again.

            A lot of his backstory with Flint was shown in flashbacks as well

          • I think I kind of remember that episode, wasn’t Torterra quite prominent in the epiosde about Sunyshore Tower?

  29. I didn’t like any of these gym leaders. here’s my favorites.

  33. Just thought I would post this here because it’s the only place I can, I don’t think I’ll be able to continue with pokejungle because Disqus is too frustratingly glitchy on my phone and I don’t have another device to post with and my pokejungle forums account is broken, every time I try to do anything I get Error code: 2S119/1. Unless disqus gets less glitchy or my account starts working again I probably won’t see you guys around, as much as is saddens me.

    • I might have to consider watching the anime again. I stopped watching after Sinnoh League Victors, just because things started getting stale and uninteresting. I’d like to at least get through Kalos before SM, just have to find that passion for watching again.

      Reply

          • I wish showdown and the meta boxed them
            I’m sooooo sick of seeing Keldeo, Landorus, Latios and Heatran on EVERY SINGLE TEAM

          • I don’t really like that you can use them in online battles. They should make a new battle mode for legends only (or does that already exist?) so that people who want to use them can battle with their own kind

          • well with S/M you will have the option to make your own tournaments with your own rules online so theres that

          • Well that means I have to make a bloody tournament every time I want to fight some random douche
            And besides actual online battles are even worse, at least Showe own blocks out the super ubers
            Pretty much everyone in ORAS was using Mega Rayquaza

          • you always complain about this but like I battle all the time in ORAS online and I never see like any of the pokemon you’re talking about, maybe you should try random battles instead of the rating battles?

          • I still don’t encounter as many of those pokemon as you make there out to be in rating, and its no more of a real battle than random

          • Doesn’t matter u can monitor battles for free and the last 4 I checked had at least one of the legends posted

          • I’ve tried to go on it before to see what it was, it doesn’t load on my computer, but heres the Tea Earthen, I’m not denying that people use legends, of course they do, it happens all the time and while I never see the ones you’re talking about I see tons of others, and guess what, I beat them easier than the normal pokemon that people usually have on their teams, so like, why do you hate them so much? they are not a big deal if you know what you’re doing, the only ones I will agree with you for being op are primals and ray, because of the weather effects, but like, landourus? latios? keldeo? not really all that powerful

          • heres all the pokemon I have that I frequently use:
            Clafable, sylveon, azumarill, granbull, M Audino, M Mawile, M Altaria, slurpuff, florges, whimsicott, aromatisse, jellicent and Goodra. I mean I also have a sun team but like I only used it like twice. And while using teams comprised of the pokemon I listed above I have only been beaten by a legend once, and that was Heatran, but I have also beaten it once too.

          • Mehhhhh those things beat legends because half of them are dragons and fighting types
            And things like Landorus are easy Azumarill bait so I am not impressed

          • That’s true! Although that doesn’t much help in terms of random battles (I’m assuming these custom tournaments are solely for friends/local)

          • no I don’t think so, I’m pretty sure its something like MK where you can give them a code or make them open or private, at least thats what I got from it, they never said it would only be local or just for friends

          • I wonder if you’ll be able to have presets for tournaments though. I also wonder how that’ll affect the time it takes to find a partner

          • hmm, maybe, we still know very little about it all, they only really mentioned it once, I expect they will talk more about it in October or November maybe

          • I’m really looking forward to all of these new features. Hopefully they stick around though since they’re notorious for not bringing back some of the best ones once they introduce them ;-;

    • I found a shiny Virizion in AS, but I had the shiny charm at that point. I was very pleasantly surprised because I wasn’t resetting at all!

      Reply

  47. I saw someone mention tournaments below, so I want to say two things on that topic:
    1. Did PJT ’16 already happen?
    2. We should do tournaments and Battle Royales every Friday or Saturday for a few weeks after SM release. We should have a weekly battle article where we set up battles.
    3. I thought of this just now, we should have a tournament two or so weeks after SM release where we only use the team that we logged in the hall of fame with the first time; essentially or in game teams.

    Reply

    • I believe we didn’t get enough participants for PJT ’16, so it was ultimately postponed. Moving was doing most of the work in terms of that, but if that’s something the community is interested in taking part in, we would be more than happy to start our search for people 🙂
      If that doesn’t work out, I will definitely pitch your other ideas to the rest of the staff.

  48. Does anyone else have like an unhealthy obsession with getting the pokemon on their teams in the absolute perfect pokeball for them? I actually went back and caught a clefariy in a moon ball and a granbull in a love ball and transferred them up to ORAS just to breed them in that ball for my team.

    Pokeballz
    If you can create three balls which unique effects what would they be and do

    • Thermal Ball: works best on Fire and Ice types (clear light blue with red stripes)
      Titan Ball: Works best Pokemon with very high stats (A metal ball with bolts and bright yellow stripes)
      (Just for gags) Return Ball: Gives two chances to catch a Pokemon: a wood tan color with white dots and red lines

      Reply

    • Legend Ball – for catching Dragons, Fairies, and Ghosts
      Air Ball – for lightweight Pokemon
      Shine Ball – for shiny Pokemon, adds more sparkles when the Pokemon is sent out

      Reply

    • Eerie Ball – works best on ghost, dark and fairies, it would be a dark purple in colour with a light blue wisp on it.

      Coral Ball – Works well on water types but works at its best on the ocean floor (aka dive) its a mauve and pink coloured ball with hints of teal and light blue in a kind of patchwork of the colours.

      Chime Ball- Its actually shapped like a bell and has the appearance of one and works best on sound based pokemon (aka chimecho, chatot, whishmer, noibat, etc)

      🙂

      Reply

    • Draco ball- Best at catching Dragon and Fire types but harder to catch fairies (color: Red and dark purple color with a Black Dragon in the center)

      Element ball- it makes it easier to catch Pokemon of Gound, Fire, Water, Flying types (looks like a mix of White, Brown, red, and blue on top

      Copy ball- What ever Pokemon that is battling that type will be easier to catch. (Has multicolored dots all around and is black on top)

  59. So if you could make the names of the next set if games what would you pick ?

    Would you go back to colours ? Metals ? Jewels, Letters etc ?

  62. I just realized with gems in Pokemon they skip a month each one and only use birthstones look

    April- Diamond
    Emerald- May
    June- Pearl
    July- Ruby
    —-Not Used—-
    September- Sapphire

    So if we think if more Gemstone games happen it might be any of these Garnet, Topaz, Tanazite, Amethyst, Opal, or Aquamarine together!

  65. Does anyone remember the PJ League? We had gym leaders, and elite four, and a champion (I’m actually not sure if we ever decided on a champion).

    Reply

  67. Ok, so I know I’m not a real authority figure around here, but it seems we have plenty of intrest in starting up the PJ League once again. If no one minds, I’d like to take it upon myself to reorganize the league for us. First, I need to know that there is enough intrest. I’d rather not work to organize this, have people make teams, and then have no one challenging the league (That happened to me the first time, I made a team and never got challegened once.) The first question I have is this: if we start up a league, should we organize types and such and wait till gen 7 (I’m leaning toward this one) or start now? Also, if you have any ideas, please don’t hesitate to share them.
    ———————————————-
    Secondly, part of the issue with the league is not having any challengers. If we organize 13 people in positions, there would hardly be any challengers. So I’m not sure on how many positions there should be, throw out any ideas you might have. Lastly, I don’t know how we should decide who gets what positions. Last time we did it, it was a first come first serve thing, which caused problems, so we definitely shouldn’t do that. I think the people who are still around here from last time should keep their jobs if they want to. Tell me your thoughts, questions, and problems you might have. Again, this won’t go anywhere without interest, so if you are interested, please let me know somehow. Thanks! 🙂

    • I love the idea, and I’d love to participate this time around; whether I’m a leader or a challenger, I think it’d be fun. And like I said below, I think a tournament could be held where the highest ranking competitors will be offered the role of gym leader. If they decline, it will go to the next in line. But whatever ends up happening, I offer my support, and I’ll help out in any way I can!

    • Sounds cool! I’m not really a competitive player, but I can become one! I’ll do some research. I’d love to be a Dragon Gym Leader like my favorite one Drayden and use Pokés like Haxorus and Dragalge <3

      • The best way to learn is to play on pokemon showdown. It really helps give you a sense of what competitive battling is like. Also, thanks for the support!

      • At least here, maybe at the forums too. I don’t really use the forums often, but if you want me to I can make a post about this on the forums? It might not work well though, like what if someone from here never used the forums, so they couldn’t battle one of the leaders? I don’t know, but we could figure something out.

        Reply

        • I don’t think thats a good idea, we’re already not even supposed to be talking on the disqus just commenting, so I feel like it would probably anger the PJ staff

          Reply

          • I mean, thats true, but the forums is barely even active from what I’ve seen. Many people from here don’t use the forums. I’d rather run the risk of angering the staff and hosting the league from here. (staff don’t hurt me . . . )

          • Sorry if this is mean, but personally I don’t get it. I’m no site runner, but I’d love to have an active community. Also they havent been that strict lately, and we’ve done it once before, so idk.

          • Well its not them being mean, its the fact that if an article gets too many comments we will physically crash the site, its happened many times, I think thats why they started doing random articles every few days because they know people don’t listen to them and treat the site like a doormat for their convos, and yes I’m guilty of doing it too, but I did use the chat like it was intended before they changed it and now I don’t know what to do or how to use it. I have been thinking about going to the forums lately though more and more because I just feel so bad like every time I comment on something not about the article here

          • I don’t like the chat. I like to be able the see the old comments in an organized way, and respond to individual comments. The forums lets me do that, but I have to wait a long time for a response, because from what I’ve experieced, there aren’t as many dedicated members to the forums as there are members of disqus.

          • I mean, id rather wait a long time to get a response then crash the site lol, but maybe thats just me

          • Believe me, we are far from crashing the site. I remeber back in the days leading up to XY, having 3000-5000 comments was a norm on articles. We got up to 10,000 once but then it crashing lol.

          • id still rather not risk it, or risk angering the staff, I mean, I want them to feel at the very least respected, but it is what it is, its your tournament do what you want

          • I get where you’re coming from, and I made a post on the forums. The real issue here is that many people don’t use the forums, and I don’t want this idea to die again.

          • You could request an article to be made directing people to the forum post. I’m sure someone would be happy to oblige since you’re doing so much to plan it.

          • That’d be almost too much to ask. What I’d love is for my comment to be featured, or my forum post to be the featured article. I really want to get the word out.

          • It seems like people think that is the best idea, so I guess we should do that. But we should make it clear that most of the league is over there, so people know to make an account.

    • I think that we should get the tourney over with and give leaders time to get their teams ready. By the time gen 7 comes around, leaders can have most of their pokemon ready and can prepare any gen 7 pokemon the want to use.

      • Good idea, I think that’s the best way to do it. But before the tournament, I need to have time to spread the idea, so everyone has a chance.

  68. My egg hatched into Togepi, but I’m not fully convinced yet whether I should keep it in my team (its also lv1 while the rest is 15+)

  77. 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!

  79. 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.

    • 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 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.

          • 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.

          • 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.

        • 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.

          • 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.

  82. 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!!!

  94. 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

  97. So after wasting several hours headbutting trees looking for Heracross, I just learnt that it is exclusive to HeartGold ffs..

    Reply

    • It’s not HG exclusive. I just caught one on my SS game. Try headbutting trees in Azalea Town near the pokecenter 🙂

      Reply

      • 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%.
