Dang this new layout is pretty cool, nice simple and modern in a way.
We’ve still got work to do on it, but it should stay mostly the same!
Keep up the great work!
I love how my Alpha Sapphire team is shaping up! Mind you, some might be replaced at one point.

This new layout <3 It really looks super nice!
I could live with this being Pikipek’s evo.

I want a Steel/Flying drillpecker
I can live with that being presented to me as a nice sunday roast
*serves you roasted Pochyena instead*
It’s too bland IMO. It’s like a mix of Talonflame and Swellow.
I’m open to better offers.
I liked Talonflame anyway.
I figured I’d come here for this, uh, do any of you guys have a meloetta, darkrai or keldeo you are willing to trade?
If you wait a few months you can get Keldeo and Meloetta from the 20th anniversary events.
The Darkrai event ended a while back I think, but you could always see if the code will still work.
Well I didn’t get a darkrai code and the other two I could only get if they were mystery gift…
The Darkrai2016 code still works for 5 more days
It doesn’t really matter cuz I don’t have one
No you can insert this code via mystery gift>get with code. You dont have to pick up one from a store this way
The code “darkrai2016”?
Yes
It says “your game can not recive the Pokemon this code provides
It’s probably region locked.
I forgot to mention its Australia and Europe only
Welp, I live in America.
The other two are mystery gift but they haven’t happened yet.
So the real question is, is anyone willing to trade a darkrai, even if I give it back, I just need it to complete my dex.
Probably someone will.
I’m still not ready to trade with anyone because I don’t want my name revealed.
Do you put your first and last name in or something?
Just my first name, but I still don’t want my name widely known.
Ok, that’s fine, I don’t know how many people would be widely knowing it on Pokejungle at this hour but I guess I play under a pseudonym anyway :p
It just takes one person to let it slip on Disqus and then it’s automatically accessible to anyone in the world.
Hmm… Not to press if you don’t want to trade anyway but, is there anyway to pm you or anything?
I have an account on the forums if need be, but I’m still not ready to do any trading. I might change my mind someday, but for now trading is off the table.
I’m hoping to go and play Skyrim in a minute anyway, as soon as things here quieten down.
Hey where have you been?
I stopped coming for a while because disqus is really broken for me, I also have a had a ton of work lately.
Unpopular opinion here it seems: I miss the old format. :/
I prefer the old format for mobile phones.
But the new one is good on the computer.
I still can’t see much difference.
I’m still praying they’ll change that background though, the current one hurts my eyes.
They should make an option to make the site dark or bright (sun and moon backgrounds)
I’ve got no issue with bright white backgrounds, but they’ve got this big image that’s bright yellow/red on the left and bright cyan/blue on the right, and it’s quite a low resolution so it ends up being pretty glaring.
Here’s a screenshot:
http://i.imgur.com/FYlpEeD.png
I thought it was an error on my phone. I haven’t seen it on the computer yet.
It seems I’m probably the only one on computer and I didn’t notice much difference.
They’ve still got that red and blue background, everything else is pretty much in the same place.
They’ve got an instagram thing down at the bottom but it’s not very noticeable in typical use.
I would be on the computer but the wifi on it is malfunctioning so I’m using my phone for now
+1-> Computer > Phone
I would, except my laptop is completely shot and the only other computer is a family computer, so it’s mobile for me.
I’m on computer as well, and I definitely noticed the changes from when I was last on yesterday
What sorts of changes?
I just notice it. They are not big changes, but still enough for me to notice them, especially cause I am a person who notices the little things that change.
Chaos mentioned the ones I noticed myself, so I honestly don’t want to repeat them.
Nothing of any particular importance then 😛
Well yeah, that’s kind of what they are trying to do. Just make it better through small changes. It doesn’t look all that different from the old one, just sleeker imo. We weren’t talking about a huge change of layout, just a slightly changed version of the old one.
It just looks off and different to some, especially when you’ve grown so used to it.
Same. Something similar happened to me a while ago and it was just a glitch, so I dismissed it at first.
What don’t you like?
It’s hard to pin it down honestly. I thought the old format looked very organized and professional, while this one seems like a step down. I guess if I could pin it down it’d be the line below the article’s main image, and the actual article itself. I liked that line, it made it feel organized.
Ah, well this isn’t final! This was just put up to get a feel for it. We’ll be tweaking and changing things. 🙂
I think that’s just the style modern websites have decided to adopt. Personally I don’t like the approaches modern website designers take.
Then again, I think http://www.stroustrup.com/ and wikipedia are well designed, so I think my tastes are probably the opposite of actual website designers.
i was watching youtuber aDrive talk about the riddler leak, and he mentions that the area below showcasing all the older pokemon with some faded in and out may be what is included in alola’s regional dex. I think he may be right, and I also feel the pokemon that are not faded out are available for pokeride, as we can see lapras sharpedo charizard tauros and stoutland are all colored in pokemon. unless I missed something and someone already figured out something different about them.
Pretty much all of the non-grey ones have appeared in trailers at some point, usually in battle, but also not in battle.
holy crap the vote button works on non mobile devices!
Oh good, it wasn’t just me that managed to get it working.
The working vote button is easily the best change of all.
I know this is unrelated to Pokemon but RIP Jose Fernandez.
Baseball player, dead at 24 in a boating accident.
The logo is too small on the top of the site
The tab icon is a mushroom instead of a pokemon too, and the background is still glaring, but the vote button is working, so the other issues are mininmal.
The tab icon has been the Sewaddle Mushroom for at least 3 months now.
It looks like a 1-up mushroom rather than a pokemon.
I think that was when pokemon news was slow so pokejungle started doing nintendo stuff.
Strange.
It’s very unfitting, they should get a new one.
Please remember we’re not finished yet 🙁
This is why we’re giving you feedback. xD
I’m just giving you a suggestion. It looked better sprawled across the middle of the top. 😉
ME NOT LIKE DIFFERENT

Made me think of that lol.
Gary is an idiot O.O lol but here he is better…..
Shovel Knight is an NPC in Yooka Laylee <3
http://nintendoeverything.com/shovel-knight-will-be-in-yooka-laylee/
Yeah. I saw this when I woke up and went on Youtube. I was like “Whoa. Why is Shovel Knight so shiny?”
If you could completely erase any one Pokemon, what would it be? Sure, you could get rid of Dunsparce or Qwilfish or Stunfisk, but what would that even accomplish?
I just want to see Porygon2 burn. x.x
Probably the klink line or Hypno
? How dare you kill my favorite normal type!!
But I am in favor of let’s get rid of Maractus it has no value in the games cause let’s see
– 10% chance of finding
– Is a big ripoff of Cacturn
-only appears in an area of the game that many people miss if they aren’t looking
-has worst Grass type design from Gen.5
-Most forgettable Pokemon (according to many YouTubers even)
-Horrible stats
-Sooo many Pokemon can have a bigger role in a team to it
-It’s pure grass (should have gotten Fairy type)
-It’s a standalone
I think I’ve made my point it should be erased
I feel like the Finneon line is more forgettable, but maybe that’s just me.
If I wouldn’t have seen and caught one in my first Diamond play I would firget it too
I liked Finneon, Neon Tetras are cool.
Why the hell should that thing be a Fairy
Seriously why
It’s the only type that looks like it would fit cause not one type I can think I fit its description except fairy
Water or Ground fit it better, ’cause it’s a Cactus 😉
It could but it just doesn’t scream those types with design but I agree it should be one of those
grrrrrrrggh i swear everything has to be a fairy to you wackos
I would like Fairies a lot more if they were as elusive as Ghosts and Dragons, but they’re just throwing the typing around just to make up for the lack of Fairies. When Dark and Steel were introduced we only had a small handful of each, but the populations grew steadily over time.
It’s a little late for them to steadily grow and most Fairies make sense they all share the… You guessed it Fairy egg group making them fairy
Dude it has Flowers…
Flowers=Pretty=Fairy
Henceforth it looks like Fairy type
it has 2 measly flowers on its cranial lobes and that’s where you get fairy….
that just makes me angrier
Pretty=Fairy pretty or cute Pokemon are almost always fairy there are exceptions though also Pink normally = Fairy
all the more reason to try to split your skull with a cleaver
No existing Fairy types have flowers incorporated into their bodies. The Flabébé line carries them and exists symbiotically with them, but the flowers aren’t part of them like they are with Maractus.
thank you
Pretty= Fairy
Flowers=Pretty
So flowers that are pretty can be fairy simple as that
Worst reasoning ever.
Ok I admit I’m wrong but at least realize Maractus needs more than one type it has the most fragile type (shared for most fragile with Rock with 5 weaknesses each) and it’s pure typing mix with stats makes a bad matchup
Maractus did indeed get the short end of the Grass type, but saying Grass is one of the most fragile because of its weaknesses isn’t correct. They may not be physically powerful, but a large portion of Grass types are status beasts that can whittle anything down in time, reflecting the real-world longevity of nature.
True Rock is pretty fragile compared it’s kind of a weaker form of Ground
I see the point you’re making, but it’s not the strongest point. If that reasoning held true Bellossom, Cherrim, Sunflora, and Roserade would be Fairies. My point is that flowers are more linked with Grass, prettiness is subjective, and if Fairies were pretty, then why isn’t Milotic – the prettiest Pokemon – a Fairy?
GF does dumb things at times yet it still needs some new typing like Monkeyfuzz said make it Ground or Water then it can have coverage to make up for it
Oh right and more
– It’s only episode in the anime sucked really bad!
-it’s not very nice looking looks ugly
-shiny looks creepy
It’s cry’s bad too
Well Maractus is my favorite Grass type, so I guess we’re even! 😉
I just don’t like Porygon2 in terms of battling. Those suckers are annoying. I personally think the most forgettable Pokemon is Chimecho. I love it, but its existence often surprises me.
Well let’s agree to disagree cause everyone has their opinions but in forms of annoying Pokemon let’s get Golbat the annoying Bat
I vote get rid of Zubat and Golbat, and make Crobat standalone. :p
Cause Golbat and Zubat are annoying to fight, and suck at battling with a trainer
Then Crobat
Annoying only when it out speeds you but it’s more impressive than annoying so yes I agree
I use it with no evolite to prove a point that it’s good without as well
Complete agreement.
Audino, I’ve never had any love for that useless Chansey clone, to me it’s only ever been a waste of pokedex space. I guess it’s mega made it somewhat more agreeable, but if I had to get rid of one pokémon (a concept I really don’t like to think of tbh, because thought actually goes into every single pokémon, and I think you can find design value even in your least favourite if you take a closer look), it would definitely be that one.
I actually would’ve agreed with you a week ago, but after starting a nuzlocke in Black, I’ve really made use of the little EXP ‘mons. I also dislike the name because “I dunno” is the last thing you want to hear a nurse say.
Yeah, it is useful for exp farming, but it’s basic gameplay role doesn’t really justify wasting a spot on such a bland design IMO, they could have made a much better exp tank to my tastes.
What exactly could they make though? No particular elements correlate to EXP in my eyes, so I don’t know if I could ever be 100% satisfied.
Oh, nothing specifically relating to exp, just something more worthwhile than Audino could have filled that role is what I meant.
I’m still holding out hope that one day we’ll get a dunsparce evo. I really wish we had another gen like 4.
Oh, I’d erase Bewear. Yes, before the games even came out. I hate the thing with a burning passion.
I dislike its lack of emotion, but that might change when I see it in action. I always like to give every Pokemon a chance, and it usually helps me like them more after I’ve used them myself.
It’s the worst pokemon design I’ve ever seen. Without a doubt, even compared to the likes of trubbish and grimer. With a few minor tweaks, I might even like Bewear, but there are so many things that seen off to me.
It’s so “smooth”, for lack of a better word. It would be much better with some fur because as it is, it looks almost artificial.
Bewears design isn’t nearly as bad as fucking pallosand and sandyghast. Even the names are horrendous
Gothitelle’s line.
Or Drapion (though it is growing on me)
Or Heatmor (though it is growing on me too).
Garbador, samurott, emboar, serperior, greninja, molletta, kinkklang, and about 5 others that I can’t think of
And heatmor, arceus, and genesect
I respect your opinion, but I do not understand your taste in pokemon
Some of my favorites are Blaziken, pikachu, gengar, metagross, alakazam, empoleon, infernape, blastoise, flygon, ray quads, mew two, lucario, Zoroaster, riverside, chestnaught, and steelix.
Wow autocorrect sucks. I meant roserade. Not river side. Oh and porygonZ is great
I agree with so many of these. Though klinklang and the gen 5 starters have grown on me. I love Greninja. Heatmor is growing on me like a snail races.
Jynx! I can’t stand that weird ass Pokemon. Why Porygon2? It’s actually one of my favourite Pokemon. I would get rid of Samurott also.
Like I said below, it’s only because it’s a pain in the neck to battle. I curse the developer who thought the Eviolite was a good idea.
That’s true eviolite Porygon2 is very bulky. Not as bad as eviolite Chansey tho lol.
I like Porygon2, the other 3 I wouldn’t mind (though I’m a bit more sympathetic to Dusparce because of all the jokes about it).
Aside from the final form of Litten and UB02A…
There’s a lot of Kanto pokemon I’d like to get rid of, like the Machop line, but I won’t list all of them or I’ll be sat here for another hour while other people chime in to tell me how wrong I am.
There’s a lot of stuff from other generations too, but after 10 minutes of thinking I’ve settled on Cryognal.
It just serves no purpose, it’s got a weird string of beads for a mouth and it doesn’t even know what it’s supposed to be. It’s only got one (rather useless) ability, it’s stats are completely ridiculous (135 sp def but 30 def) it’s got 1 resistance and 4 weaknesses. It somehow knows solar beam despite its pokedex entry claiming it turns into steam if it gets too hot, and dear god what is wrong with its shiny form!?
Lol I always thought cryogonal should be part ghost but either way I never minded it or cared for it. Just never ever gave it much thought
It’s also one of the few genderless pokemon to learn attract.
Seriously, we need to get rid of it 😛
OMGOMGOMGOMG

Hey can the next mascot on top be a Bounsweet if it’s Evo pops up in the news?!
Just signed up for Amazon Prime, which means I get almost $20 off Sun and Moon. I think Best Buy does the same Preorder deal with their gamer program, but Prime is a better deal, imo.
Is anyone here familiar with how the My Nintendo rewards program chooses rewards? I want to know how likely it’ll be that a Sun/Moon discount will be offered as I’ve got 1,130 points saved up and nothing I want to buy.
I’m loving the new mobile look of PokeJungle. It’s a serious improvement to the older interface.
Anyways, after hunting for NX information, I finally found something interesting. There was recently a job opening from Nintendo for someone that excells at GPGPU and Heterogeneous Computing. These terms are rather interesting because it’s what AMD names those process. Everyone knows that AMD and Nvidia chips work similarly, but if Nintendo was really using Nvidia, why would they use AMD’s termonlogy. Nvidia calls these process: GPU Accelerated Computing and Heterogeneous HPU. To explain what these parts do: GPGPU allows the GPU to take some of the computing from the CPU and Hetero. Computing allows for x86 and ARM architecture to be easily developed for and it allows them to share informetion, apps, and software without the developer having to do annoying, extensive porting or optomizing.
This is beginning to show that the NX is a separate handheld and console that share information between each other. The console is likely AMD CPU and GPU (x86 architecture), with the handheld having an ARM CPU and DMP GPU. It also falls in line with the recent Pokemon CEO comment, Ubisoft’s comment, and numerous developers stating the NX was easy to develop for. Honestly, I doubt a hybrid system is even happening as Nintendo said the NX might incorporate multiple devices and that they want to do something similar to Apple, by having all devices work in harmony with different power, similar interface, and form-factors. I expect to see the NX sometime between September 26th and October 10th based on other rumours. Nintendo is running out of time to show the thing off.
Wow… cool detective work. I certainly hope it’s only 1 form factor though….
“Heterogenous computing”
Aka, two types of processors e.g. a CPU and a GPU or having one processor for the new stuff, one for backwards compatibility. (Like they’ve been doing for years.)
“GPGPU”
Aka, using the graphics processor for non-graphics calculations, e.g. general vectorised floating point operations.
It doesn’t guarantee AMD.
Those two terms are actually the correct terms for the concepts.
In fact, it was Mark Harris, ‘Chief Technologist for GPU Computing’ at Nvidia that actually came up with the term “GPGPU”. Nvidia CUDA is an example of a GPGPU system in use by Nvidia for example. As is OpenCL (a non-vendor-specific GPGPU language).
GPGPU has nothing to do with x86 or ARM since GPUs don’t use x86 or ARM instruction sets. It’s plausible there might be some systems that attempt to translate x86 or ARM into the instruction set used by the GPU, but typically GPGPU functionality is achieved through specialised languages like OpenCL.
Again, GPUs do not run x86 code. It’s possible that they might use AMD CPUs (which run on an x86-64 ISA), ARM CPUs (ARM is the same ISA the DS variants run on) and a DMP GPU (assuming DMP is ‘Digital Media Professionals’), but there is no GPU that uses the x86 ISA.
I just realized this guys mouth (Rf)

Say cheese!
This is a bad design imo
Compared to Sharpedo’s mega form it’s the lesser of two evils.
Is it me or do the advertisements seem more common and “in your face” with the new interface…?
Definitely not just you. Another reason I dislike this new format.
To give an example, there is an add inbetween the video and text for me. Smack dab in the middle of the article, which the old format never did.
The ad at the top of the page is larger than the actual Pokejungle logo, which is a bit ridiculous in my opinion.
I haven’t noticed any differences with the ads.
They’re all in still in the same place they were before. At the the bottom and away from anything important.
I guess you’re on your phone?
It’s because there’s an ad right next to the main logo and it takes up more space than said logo
This website redesign is weird but Disqus looks much better
I don’t notice any changes in Disqus . . .
Alright I’ll come clean I made some bad moves with my reasoning behind Maractus a fairy type, but come on GF give it another type to make it a helpful Allie cause why would someone try to use a Grass type that has somewhat less decent stats than most others and has a weakness to 5 types be useful like make it Grass/Ground think it’s better than Fairy idea cause reasons
-Lives in Desert
-needs another type to help it stay up
-Viable for competitive with two abilities that immunize Water which would be useful in many ways
So simple make it Ground type
And for those who wonder it’s not my least favorite it just has some reasons to blow steam off on it I like all Pokemon it just happens to get at lot of my attention in a bad way sorry Maractus I only hate your anime episode anyways your not the worst.
I take back most of my ruder comments about its shiny, being a ripoff, and most of the rest except the cry and episode I dislike both
The shiny isn’t so bad, as shinies go. Grachomp’s is still a travesty.
Yes yes it was
They should change it because it’s so hard to tell the difference. Why didn’t they stick with the brighter blue of Gabite? Whoever designed shiny Garchomp is an idiot.
“Back in Gen.4”
Shiny Maker: Ok we have some good Shinies like Mothim now we need a sh*ty one for this Gen.?
Guy: How about Garchomp?
SM: Yes the Psudo let’s just change its shade to piss off the masses
Guy: Genius
Both: Mwuhahaha
“2013”
SM: What did we do to Garchomp I know Mega should be pink
Guy: Genius!
“This year”
SM: what now do we do for Shinies
Guy: Garchomp has tanked we can’t do it
SM: Make it random
Randomly colored during Z-Move
just kick this bitch to da curb it ain’t gonna get better
Yeah it’s too late for it but I respect Wes for having its favor I support it I still don’t love it my favorite Grass type is… Jumpluff
Or Torterra it goes
Torterra
Close second Jumpluff
I’ll be the first to admit that it sucks; I just love cacti. It and Cacturne are tied for my favorite Grass types simply because they’re cacti.
Nice!!
The only way it’s going to get better is if it gets an evolution, which is unlikely to happen. Storm Drain could become useful if it had the base stats to back it up. With Ground comes a 4X Weakness to Ice, without boosts elsewhere it wouldn’t be helpful. Water wouldn’t be much help either since it’s still outclassed by Ludicolo. Design-wise these type additions make sense, but they wouldn’t give it much help in competitive viability. It can’t even function in a support or utility role particularly well as it is. I actually like Maractus btw.
I think Maractus being fairy would make sense given how weird it looks.
Still won’t make me like it though.
I hate how in Twilight Princess, in the segment where Midna’s Lament is played, the danger music plays when you are near enemies ruining all of the tension.
I know!! Side note I’m learning (very slowly) to play it on the piano.
Did they fix it in TPHD?
Idk, I had to cancel my preorder of it due to funds :/
I think they did, but I can’t remember now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhb23i-c47A
They didn’t. Come on Nintendo, that was TP’s biggest flaw!
ooops, didn’t finish. I hate it when pokemon does this sometimes. Like in BW then in Nimbasa it cuts right to the cities theme after Emotion plays. Ruins it
That’s my absolute favorite mini arc
i was truly enthralled with the severity and the atmosphere
https://twitter.com/RealShigeruM/status/780149640901586945
That would be cool a water poison sea snake.
I was thinking the garden eel and then Arbok a Dragon eel. Water/Ground and Water/Dragon type. (It’s because I saw a picture if these before and they were absolutely beautiful)
