To celebrate the game’s one year anniversary as well as 750 million global downloads, real-world events will be taking place throughout the summer and into September. The biggest of these will be the Pokémon GO Fest scheduled to be held in Chicago, Illinois on July 22. Ticket prices have not yet been announced. European players can expect special GO events held in Unibail-Rodamco shopping centers.
Furthermore, beginning on June 13 players can participate in the Solstice Event in Pokémon GO (iOS/Android) which will increase the rates of Fire and Ice-type Pokémon, offer bonus XP for Pokéball throws and also feature a Lucky Egg discount. The event will run only until June 20 though, so watch your calendars carefully!
In addition, Niantic has posted some cryptic words hinting at the long-rumored “gym rework” which will improve the system in which players capture and control Pokémon Gyms, “Soon thereafter, you can look forward to a new update focused on collaborative group gameplay features that will get you playing Pokémon GO in fun new ways. In preparation for these exciting features, we’ll be temporarily disabling Gyms for a short period of time.” We’ll have to wait and see what these new updates bring!
How are you feeling about all this GO news? Still out there catching Pokémon in the real world?

U should give him Sun or Moon Light.

Lefties

Naming the rival Jeffrey because like
Jeffery Katzenburg was the guy who left Disney to make Dream Works…
I’m a fucking genious
Lol I just called him Dick
Dicks
Oh, haven’t seen this comment when I made mine…
Nah it’s fine I couldn’t be assed naming him so I gave him that
I’ve only named my rivals their names except for this run of Platnium I named him Jordan AFTER THE FUCKING ASSHOLE WHO ANNOYED ME IN SCHOOL 6-12!!!!!!!
I named my DPPt rival Damion, because it was a given option and to my young self, it sounded evil.
I’m already evil
Barry got named Camden after this kid I knew when before I moved. I was in elementary school still. We had a weird friendship where we kinda hated each other but we played together anyways
Wow you do not have a great track record with Jordans
No I don’t, he bugged and taunted my from the day I had the displeasure of meeting him,
I fantasized stomping on his neck
I wish more people thought out more their rival’s name instead of naming them dumb insults

A quick and ugly sketch of my starters (first stage)
Wat the water one is based on?
A Baby European Water Vole
The snake one is pretty bland I’ll be honest. The bear is cool tho
Maybe I’ll add something to its design, its evos have more character. Yeah, the Bear is cool, its evos are cool too.
The snake is also really stiff. They curl up a bunch so try to show that 😛
Neat
Well shit I can’t think of a Disney character to name this female Pidgey after
The bird from finding dory
Oh shoot what’s her name
Becky I think
Ana
Omg yesss. I’ll save Becky for the inevitable Spearow
Just name it FTB
How about the seagull from LM?
Scuttle
Becky
Flit
For a Poliwag if feamale name it Tiana

Thats all I got use them as you want
54 butt fracking minutes left
I just want to break something
Break your personal record for work ethic
Funny joke, no if they’re gonna screw me for days why should I bust my ass
Seriously I go in on my days they don’t give me work to shop and I find my station a giantess wreck
Why am I the only one keeping it nice when they don’t seem to have people who do have work
Break your leg!
Remus the Ratata has joined the team!
This team has low standards
Well it’s a nuzlocke so I didn’t choose them
Oh then my apologies
It’s a Nuzlocke tho?
Yeah because your showdown teams are something to write home about
I mean Remy
What is wrong with my phone
…..fucking loved Ratatouille
It’s such a good movie
Not to mention the musical score and the tasteful images
Yeah, it has great RATings
Go to your corner Butter
This site is my corner
I like how I have zero issues with Pory 2 now and have yet to see a ribomb
Birds are a bitch to deal with though
I’ve always had an issue with that fucking bobbing bird
I want cram a magnet up its cloaca and disrupt its program
Use Scrafty, it literally makes the thing useless . It takes at most like 20 percent per hit and can knock off drain punch until it dies
It’s an easy kill
They often do hell Pangoro had troubles breaking it before it spammed recover
But Scrafty is basically bulkier Pangoro
Necrozma/Pory/Jelli killer
The UU changes are in full effect… remember , Xurk/Swole is allowed
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7nubeta-587924965
This Ugly Barnacle slaps shit sideways
That looks like an easy noivern wreck to me
Unless scarfed
Specs is better on Noiv
Yeah but it won’t survive a SS Rock Slide
But I have counters for that?
Like something that flat out walls Barb
And I wouldn’t keep Noiv in on that
Well what if I already got the boost
I mean it hits extremely hard with Tough Claws
Imagine if it got Head Smash and Waterfall or even Liquidation
I mean Scrafty and Jellicent are only hindrances at best I think a SS TC Stab Razor Shell can KO Scrafty and I gotta get a lucky Rock Slide on the jelly, the rest are torn to pieces
And you gotta survive my offense oriented team, everyone of them strikes hard and fast
Star if you’ll catch another bird call it Piper
http://cdn2-www.comingsoon.net/assets/uploads/2016/04/pixar.jpg
!!!!!!! YEESS
I FORGOT ABOUT THIS AWWW
kyoot
*Lines up sniper rifle*
1 shot, 1 miss
I distest cute things
Says the Slurpuff and togedemaru user
i’ve never used Togedemaru
You’ve still said you like it
And Piper eats your eyes out
NU Noivern is underrated af
It bypasses subs afterall
Well Hex Tentacrule is not very good in UU
Tenta’s only attack should be Rapid Spin imo
It wouldn’t let me have RS due to conflicts
SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4985fe18371a274af60a988478964a6bc38498af703f3242886638f84fd08845.jpg
What?
ITS WEIRD FACE
Always weird face I remeber becca the rattata (based on my old friends name)
Tell that to this Sprite
https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/b/be/Spr_3r_019.png
But that ones kinda cute
It’s just happy to be here
It’s yawning
What
It’s just it’s moustache
Okay but can we talk about how super cute Rattata is?
I mean…. ehh??
Ehhhpic more like
Blehhfssdss it seems ok I guessss
Adorable top percent!
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5733f5859e5076b874b6752a37e5b2bf28842d8002cabfa59b39df584d67025e.png
Seriously, Uxie and komala are great, why does literally no one use them?
Well off to film Episode 3 then post both stay tuned for
Episode 2: Getting Wiggy with Twiggy
Episode 3: The first Catch of the day
I don’t usually care that much about Pokémon cries and stuff but does anyone else kinda miss Pikachu’s old one?
I miss all the ones that got stupidly updated
Like Emboar and Mamoswine don’t sound like themselves
Yeah, it’s weird to have 801 random noises and one pitched human voice •~•
Fuck yes. What if you went to the zoo and the Giraffe just screamed “GIRAFFEEEE”
I’d pet it
I really miss Gliscors and Yanmegas
Alright here’s a different one if you can change the animation for 3 Pokemon attacks what would you choose?
Twinkle Tackle – Make the tackling look less awkward and more badass
Earthquake – It looks shit in Gen 7
Prismatic Laser – Underwhelming asf
Don’t change Twinkle, watch a Cutiefly do it to a Celesteela and you’ll laugh your ass off
The gheyest Z-Move name ever
Seriously it’s just….so underperforming
To get the ball rolling
Earthquake: I hate how Earthquake looks nowadays I would change it so it looks like the Pokemon Battle Revolution, a concussive shockwave that tore through the ground with great power
Gunk Shot: I mean wtf something called gunk shot should be a nasty torrent of sludge or slime, yet they show it in the game and anime as it tossing a trash can, this just bugs me for using real world objects in a attack used by supernatural creatures
I can’t really think of anything else but I don’t like how Bone Rush and Bone Club looked in XY
I mean
Bins appear in Pokémon too
Sparkling Aria- Make the water thingies more music symbol shaped
Zap Cannon- I want it to look more badass
Any attack the Pokemon does some badass thing that makes contact but is still the entire time
Wild Charge
Earthquake
Gigavolt Havoc, Bite/Crunch, and Leafage.
Kinda wising Vika got No Guard cause Zap Canon
God that’d be OP, but amazing
Need a Disney name for Zubat
Fidget from Basil the Great Mouse detective
Maleficent it’s a girl
The main antagonist of the Hunchback of Notre Dame because everyone hates both of them (Even if it is for different reasons).
Oops I misspelled his name
Victor, Hugo, or Laverne from Notre Dame
Bartok. Anastasia was Disney right?
If only :/
Ok so if Gyms return to USUM who will they be and in what order with what type?
Me I think
1. Hau- Normal (based on the same knowledge why Cheren was a gym leader)
2. Lana- Water
3. Kiawe- Fire
4. Mallow- Grass
5. Molayne- Steel
6. Sophacles- Electric
7. Accerola- Ghost
8. Hapu- Ground
Hau? he’s a dumbass
The pot calling the kettle black
I want to sap him
Wow earthen keep it pg
you know what a sap is right?
Can’t say I do
http://www.flyingtigerantiques.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/sappollead3040sobv.jpg
apply to the back of the head
“it’s nature’s snooze button”
I’d rather him than Llima aka the worst character in Sun and Moon
i don’t even know what that thing is…..
How dare you. Ilima is awesome and you know it
No he was a total trap that had no attractive qualities anyway and really imo was a terrible battler
Hey fam can you… not call him a trap? Thats really rude
Ok sorry if I upset you 🙁 should have thought what I said through
Its fine. Not alot of people realize its transphobic
How? I actually thought Ilima was one of the better captains. He was really nice.
He just annoyed me I prefered Lana, Accelora and Sophacles
They just were very cool to me
Accerola was a bit too peppy for me tbh. Sophacles need to pluck that uni. And Lana was okay, her actual battle was challenging, but she didn’t have too much personality imo, which was disappointing
Lana was perverted imo hoping for a fisher to down there drowning or something
Wait, she hoped people would die?
She hoped a drowning male swimmer was making the thrashing the numerous Wishiwashi were making in order to save them and feel them up pretty much
She might’ve been teasing tho like she teases about Red Gyarados and Kyogre, and we know she’s lying about having no clue about the trial.
Oh that’s kinda dark
Nah it’s more perverted than dark because she’s just hoping to touch the abs/ceps/booty
Not sure I also just liked her design
Plus tbh his two battles were challenging, at least imo
The first battle with his smeargle caught me off guard D:
I actually whited out on his battle twice (deinitely at least once)
I also whited out with the teacher lady in the Pokemon school because of that stupidly powerful A Meowth
Lana’s Araquanid, Hau’s A. Raichu, and Hapu’s Mudsdale all almost wiped me
I hope gyms don’t return tbh, the island trials were interesting and gave Alola a unique culture.
If they do I hope they don’t replace trials and kahunas
I think if they give the gyms the same kind of treatment they gave the trials then that would make them more interesting. Giving the trainer a reason to go on an adventure rather then you basically getting kicked out of your house and told to leave town. It’s a bit lame lol If they give the gyms more cultural involvement and have the leaders be more involved with not only the story, but also the other characters that would help a lot. Sure we’ve always had the leaders be “influential figures”, but they almost never interact with the people in their town. I think BW/BW2 did it well in some cases. Like having Drayden be the mayor of Opelucid city. Have them be more than just people you only see in a single building. XY were HUGE offenders of that.
Hate to be that guy, but Hau can’t make chronological sense. Since it’s an alternate versison of the events, he wouldn’t even have any pokemon yet.
how, i mean technically we don’t know how much of a alternate timeline we’re on yet
also he causes me indescribable fury, he’s just too happy, optimistic and non-threatening IT DISGUSTS ME
Earthen, you seriously need to chill and destress. You get worked up over stupid shit
I have very feel venting options
That can’t be healthy
No shit I had like a mini heart attack this morning because I lost 8 matches in ranked
So you need to do something about it then
Nothing will change this unless the universe bends over backwards for me and makes things less shitty for me, which will NEVER happen
Oh please, progress can always be made mentally
We don’t know that for sure and we also don’t know if it’s set before though..
Why would hau be normal? He should be psychic
he’s dumb as a malasada
Said an adult on a site about a kid’s game
he just does not strike me as a Gym Leader
too young
not experienced
and i personally want to beat him over the head with tree branches of varying sizes and lengths
I’d agree that he’d be psychic. His main is electric/psychic and there’s already an electric leader
I would also mention Mina as Fairy and my fav kahuna Nanu, but Mina would probably be just as lazy about a gym and Nanu would also refuse to be a gym leader for the same reasons he refused to be a E4
Speaking of that, probably Accerola would still be an E4 member so she wouldn’t downgrade.
And heard theories that one Dragon user who challenged you post game
1. Kukui
2. Kiawe
3. Hapu
4. Lana
5. Ryuki as the Dragon leader
6. Ilima
7. Molayne
8. Nanu
Unfortunately this unbalances the genders, but I really didn’t like any of the girls in SM other than Lillie and maybe Hapu.
reactions from the B2W2 reveal
http://pokejungle.net/2012/02/25/pokemon-black-2-pokemon-white-2-revealed/
“Ok heres what I think. We go back to Hoenn, or its built in as a mini game part. The story involves the legendary of each version and combines w/ Kyureum to make its powerful (Ghetis plan). N will tag team w/ us. And pokemon will walk with us once more to make us more friendly w/ them.” – Sunny
“ugly!” – B1ackS0ul
“Hey, guys. I actually do believe that Black 2 and White 2 are actually sequels and not just remakes…” – Nate
“So, um, that thing I was saying about Gray Version being on the DS and not the 3DS? Not gonna say “I told you so” but boy is it tempting right now.” – Similarity
“I’ve seen some speculation that this might actually be a mix between the 5th and 3rd generations. If you look at the logo, Pokemon Black 2 has a blue gemstone….while Pokemon White 2 has a red gemstone.” – Sean
“Ive seen some speculation that the earth is flat.” – Charon in response to Sean
“… I knew it. Kyurem is a parasite. More exactly, a space parasite. Almost like deoxsys!” – Augustsuto
Damn Charon
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/99ec9923645f3ebed2cce92c824e49af92a7eca773adb3e101c0761afa13ddf5.gif
“Hoenn built in mini game”
The fuck does that mean?
Yes, it’s really a slow news day. I hoped for more stunfisk merchandising, and they come up with this. I’m seriously disappointed. – Daedardus
“I think they left us with these plotholes on purpose, so they could bring a direct sequel to it.
First I thought they were going to patch the holes in the third version, but a follow up makes more sense. (and if naming it nr. 2 isn’t a good indication enough)” – Daedardus
They followed up by creating even more plotholes…
Were there plot holes in BW though? The only thing I wondered is what exactly the shadow triad are . As far as I know, no one else in the pokemon universe has superpowers.
https://youtu.be/hbzPQ9oMMF8
Also we have literal psychics (for example Caitlyn is said to have a lot of power, but I might just be confusing it with something) and ghost humans, as well as Pokémon whisperers, so super powers aren’t too far out of place… If they’d explain how they got them and stuff T-T
This is beyond nightmare fuel
Yeah lol. Can’t unsee that
It now forever ruins my fav part of the extended SU theme D:
I guess we do have psychics and stuff, but teleporting seems beyond that. I guess the ghost girl from XY teleports, but we also don’t know if she’s alive I guess
Wait, is this a legit commercial and is not fan made?
There’s no way xD
On the topic of looking back at Pokejungle comment sections…

It’s this article BTW
http://pokejungle.net/2016/06/15/speculation-popplio-waterfairy/
I’m trying to find my oldest comments and instead of feeling emotions from nostalgia
Kinda annoyed at myself for deleting my first account because I want to know what my first comment was like :0
Mine was saying hello and being somewhat cringy by forcing a wynaut reference
Tbf were all cringy in our lives XD
Truuuueeeee I’m just glad I got it out of my system mostly
‘Popplio won’t be fairy’
‘Incineroar will be modestly fast’
@BigGuyI:disqus you’re a reverse prophet :0
Shut up, you won’t believe how may comments were sent to me when they revealed Primarina
Lol reverse prophet sounds like a position
Hello me from the past 😛
There there, your Fire/Fighting nightmares are over ;-;
Thank goodness xD Fennekin and Litten are saved
The Dark Gods saved Litten’s type, but were not in time to save its body
Why so many people doubted that? From the credible leaks and disarming voice, it was kinda obvious Imo
