PokéJungle Does New York Comic Con

I had the pleasure of attending New York Comic Con on Sunday, October 8, 2017 and running into all these wonderful people cosplaying as our favorite characters from Pokémon. They were all ecstatic to be shared on PokéJungle too, whether they were familiar with us or not. Check them out!

Mario Guerra & daughter

“I’m glad she’s into Pokémon and not My Little Pony, or else I’d be dressed like a pony.”

Team Skull was too busy trying to win some free swag, or possibly steal it.

@MaxBien & friends

“Where my Nurse Joy at?

This Pikachu did not want to Play Nice when I asked for a quote. Not even a Growl.

@ill.meethercosplay

“Prepare to burn…?”

The little Squirtle was shy when I asked if he knew what sounds a Squirtle makes, so I’ll just put down “Glub, glub, glub.”

Zachary Fuld & @kim_ception

“Don’t catch ’em all.”

Anonymous

They didn’t seem like they actually knew any Team Rocket lines.

@cuddlycactus, @_jeanster_ & son

“What would Ash say?” I asked the kid. He simply shrugged his shoulders and walked away.

@danjerface & @gogo_incognito

“I’ve seen a lot of strange Pokémon around and when I ask them if they’re well, they run away. I think Team Rocket is behind it, I saw them somewhere around here.”

  1. So, along with getting Gundam Versus yesterday, I also got One Piece Burning Blood and a $20 PlayStation Store card today. Burning Blood is pretty cool so far

  2. I still don’t understand why people are upset about 2 Z-Moves… I’m pretty darn sure you couldn’t use Both on 1 Pokemon.. they would grow too tired. Sure Baton pass exist but….
    And, many Pokemon are no good competitively with z-item alone..
    It wouldn’t change much.. at least not too much

    And do all editors here have to be adorable ?

  3. ALSO!! GUYS!! I have went through my old Pokemon games, and I have found gold. Now tht I have Pokebank, I discovered some Pokemon I forgot I had in Dream balls!! I somehow got a Larvatar in a Friend ball, so I’ll be breeding those Pokemon. Going back to the topic, I find the expression of the James above to be funny for some reason. All the pics are adorable, none the less.

    The Team Skull and the Flareon ones are my favorite though.

  4. Comicon just stirs up bad memories
    My first comicon my brother ditched me do he and his friends could do the stuff they wanted to and I had to be by myself seeing nearly everyone else in a happy group (mostly nerdy couples)

  5. I’ve got some good ones from when I went to Soda City Comic Con in South Carolina this year:

    I brought the stuffed Dunsparce I made and this Skull Grunt tried to steal her. Found some more grunts later. Finally, there’s a picture of Flop the Dunsparce. I didn’t dress up, but carried her around on my shoulder.

  8. Oh, while we’re here talking about assorted disappointments, I must share one:
    Mega Latias. I don’t care if she was good in battle. She was definitely fun to soar with. BUT there is one thing I cannot forgive: SHE WASN’T RED.

    She looked nearly identical to Mega Latios and that sucked. Observe the fan-colored versions below, aka how they should have looked. I can think of no reason that she could not be red in the game.

    Reply
      • Maybe that was the point, to try and make them seem like the same thing. An unnecessary move and as these pictures show they looked better in their own colours.

        Reply
        • When we first saw pictures of them, I thought they were the same except for eye color. Apparently Latias is a little smaller and soars a little different (haven’t gotten to that part in AS yet)

          Reply
          • Having only started with XY, and only played previous games after that fact, I’m pretty chill with whatever Gamefreak decides to do. There are usually things I love and things I hate in every game. But this one little thing was just SO stupid. It would’ve taken what? 2 lines of code to change the colors?

            Pokemon walking with you? Big deal. A whole battle facility? Big deal. Different battle formats, the PSS, the minigames… all of those are big things. I might’ve been disappointed by some of the other Megas, or some of the Pokemon, but this was just so stupid and easy to fix.

    • I don’t mind the fact they’re both purple because they’re meant to look more similar, I just wish they were easier to tell apart. Like, different shades of purple closer to their OG colours or accents of their OG colour

  9. ARRRGHH WHY MUST JIRACHI EXIST
    I find out they’re suspect testing monotype something I haven’t done in months because SM introduced everything that doesn’t make Ground types feel welcome and I use my Fighting mono and this Steel mono jerk was mostly easy pickings until he pulled Z-Happy Hour Jirachi and swept my team and has the absolute nerve to give me shite about my team.

    “Oh you had the type advantage you should’ve won easy” the absolute nerve
    “What idiot doesn’t run Keldeo and Terakion” I want to just kill him

      • Esplain the festival all I remember that you should hold onto gold star crap and get tokens and yadda yadda boobies and such

        And I’m pouring a lot of money into Cranbies this season at least 50

        Reply
        • From what I know of it, on the day of the Festival you take all of your gold star stuff and put in the empty display stand. Then you have it judged and as long as you get at least 90 points you get first place. Then you take all your points and you bet them on the green side of the prize wheel (or something like that? I haven’t actually done it, but I’ve watched some videos on it.) And then before you end the festival you can take all of your gold star items back with you as long as you remember to grab them back

          • Ok plans for da fall
            Upgrade tools to Steel
            Keep descending the mine (up to 60 last check)
            Work on barn and well (it just would save me a trip)
            And start buying animals since my Dog “Barp” don’t make me money
            But I have like no hay to feed the animals and need a major pay day to fund all this

          • Yeah I read somewhere that you should save most of the tall grass to turn into hay until when you have a silo so luckily I did that.

        • There are 9 slots make sure you fill them all, there are categories for the different stuff like vegetable and fruit, flower, artisan goods, cooking, etc. have items from at least 6 of the categories, besides that yeah just use the best quality stuff you can and the most profitable stuff you can (professions that affect value on sell affects these still). After that yeah go to the wheel and always bet half your stars and bet on green. Even if you lose keep trying until you have at least 3,400 stars. If you run out of stars you can just reset the day if you need to.

  10. Thanks again Govnah, those codes are much appreciated! That Charizard event is still hanging over my head though, but I don’t think anyone goes to Target anyway 😛 (just kidding, I used to frequently). Since I’m thinking about events, I’m still in the market for a Hoenn Pikachu and my Genesect is ready for whoever wanted it for Unova Pikachu. Trading Pokemon makes me feel like some kind of drug dealer, since I have a vault full of rare stuff that’s shipped out sometimes…

  11. Oh the “joys” of suspect testing
    But I found an annoying Fairy Mono that I can get good and angry with
    So much Roost Spamming and T-Wave but through angry brute force I prevailed

    (Would show the battle but I was extra mean to this guy)

  12. Seemed like I missed out. It looks pretty fun, and Im glad a lot of people had a good time. Just wish they did something OTHER than kanto or alola characters/pokemon… But Im glad they had a fun time. I wish I was brave enough to where a costume I would definitely pull off a May Black Brendan or Black SkinniernWatson. My and my friend said if me and her ever go cosplay eventtogether we would be Liza and Tate which sounds so awesome! I would dress for that
    What character from pokemon NOT from gen 1 or 7 would you dress up as

  15. Reminder

    Never pre-order

    Never buy lootboxes

    You are feeding these anti-consumer tactics that only benefit the greedy corporate shills who are games as nothing but cash machines.

    Pre ordering is paying for a product that isn’t even done and could be absolute dogshit

    Lootboxes are gambling that isn’t regulated leaving children and people with addictive personalities open to harm.

    By giving game companies money for these practices, you are telling them that this is ok and you are ok with being fucked over even more

  17. Not sure if I should get a Naive Marshadow for HP Ice or wait until tutors to see if it gets Avalanche or something, or just go Jolly with Rock Tomb. Not sure how much better HP Ice would be un-invested vs Ice Punch anyway so that’s an option.

  18. I’m in northern California where the terrible fires are going on. The past few days the sky has been super hazy and the smell of smoke is around all day, but it’s worst in the morning. Honestly it’s kinda scary. Let’s hope that our area remains safe, but I still feel bad for all the neighboring cities.

  19. Ash and the gang talking about a cute mysterious (legendary) pokemon.
    The Pokedex doesn’t recognize it, so they decide to name it.

  20. Well I got my Marshadow codes
    3 of them
    Soft reset until jolly or whatever….

    Maybe try to a shiny wimpod but that’ll never happen, I just wish there was a way I can get a perfect shiny Golisopod legally

    • I mean it doesn’t really put anything in perspective for me because they’re not trying to make a big realistic world but don’t feel overly small either (minus Alola)

  21. Hi! I’m from Argentina, and we don’t have the Marshadow distribution here 🙁 Does anyone have a spare code to share, please. I would really appreacite it 🙂

    Reply
    • From what Ive heard they’re region locked so you might need to find someone with a spare marshadow and just have them trade it

      Reply
    • First you need to know if you are seeking PAL, NA or Japanese code, (I think it’s just those 3 different types). I’m assuming you need NA. There are some giveaways on various subreddits sometimes, as well as possibly facebook pages. I’d suggest trying trade forums too and maybe try again here another time.

      Reply
    • Abilities? Natures? Probably Talonflame for strength and coverage unless you already have a Flying type, though you can make do without. I prefer Flareon design-wise.

      Reply
      • Both are from WT so they’re probably not all that but i have to stick to the rules. I’m using Fletchinder at the moment for the Grass trial (i can get a Fire stone in Diglett tunnel, but only after the trial), but after that i’m not sure which to pick

        Reply
        • Well Talonflame can have Flame Body or Gale Wings, even with the Nerf Gale Wings can be useful, especially in-game. Flareon gets Flash Fire and Guts, both potentially useful in the Fire trial along with Dig but since you’ve passed that it’s irrelevant. I guess it comes down to which you like best, since both are flawed, Talonflame has more Weaknesses but also more strengths.

          Reply
          • Can be useful for potential burns, give it roost and maybe will-o-wisp too. Its’ strongest moves are self-damaging so Leftovers could be a good item option. Alternatively go Flareon, make use of Firium Z with Flare Blitz and the useable special attack could be helpful since unless it has Wish it lacks recovery options outside of Rest.

        • Oh please name somebody (who isn’t me) who willing runs a ground mono run outside the ramifications of type monoings for every type

          Reply
          • Not really lol? Monos of any type are gonna be more common than Eevee runs because they’re more flexible

            You’re not special for liking Ground types

            At all

          • ok that was just beyond mean
            But my point still stands lame boring cliche Eeveelution team. Do something a little more original (and thinking ahead I do the ground runs as testaments to my dedication not just for fun)

          • It’s not mean, it’s the truth. Ground monos are more common than Eevee runs so you’re a huge hypocrite.

          • Googling eevee mono runs and I get so many results for both in game and competitive

            And Ground mono has significantly less results

            And by results articles and forums dedicated to the idea, many many sites list Eeveelution teams for different campaigns and if you search for Ground mono, like I said very little results

            So you don’t think Ground runs are more popular or used than Eevee then you’re just disagreeing just to disagree with me

          • It could just be Eevee runs get more responses or that there’s more competitive Eevee teams when I’m solely speaking about in game teams

            Because you can’t search all the Internet, your source is unreliable

            The only thing you win is biggest bitch here

          • There were plenty that said In-Game as well, So how is that any different then saying their more popular and used than Ground mono runs

            And at least I give answers and responses based on some info instead of bluntly assuming or backing it up

    • So what I’m gonna do is breed all nine Eevees (including Eevee itself) and rotate them around, rule is they can’t hold any items besides the Soothe Bell or their type’s Z Crystal (for Eevee Everstone is permitted for grinding) and I must obtain all nine of their Z-Crystal types before the Elite Cour!

  22. Ok a challenge. Make a unique Theme team of 6 Pokémon (unique meaning the theme cannot be: Mythical mono, Eevee Mono, Pika mono, Legend Mono, Regionals mono (bird, bug, rodent, pseudo), common type monos, starter mono, ect.)

    Like an example
    Africa Mono
    -Donphan (Elephant)
    -Pyroar (Lion)
    -Girafarig (Giraffe)
    -Rhyperior (Rhino sorta)
    -Ambipom (Monkey)
    -Krookodile (Crocodile)

    Now your turn.

        • They usually do, be it because an actor passed away, left or was fired. It’s sad but they also have to think about the story and whether it still needs the character.

          Reply
          • He was the main character after all. I saw an interview Where Del Toro talked about how perfect Anton was for that role…

          • Oh he was? I haven’t seen the show. Do you know if he completed it all? He may have already had his part finished by another actor, you’d probably be able to tell. In TMNT they changed the voice of Leonardo because they had to replace the first actor after (I think) firing him, so it does happen.

  23. Alright I’m going to speculate my team for Silver (my bro’s gettin’ Gold)

    -No Clue for Starter
    -Noctowl or Xatu
    -Jumpluff, Magmar, or Gyarados (Depending on starter)
    -Umbreon or Espeon (Espeon will only if I don’t choose Xatu)
    -Aipom
    -Donphan or Sudowoodo

    Other options: Gengar, Golem, Machamp, Granbull, Politoed, Girafarig, Forretress, Bellosum, Yamna, Heracross, Azumarill, Togetic, or a Kanto Starter (transfer from Yellow, then egg)

  26. Been playing Lucio for the past hour or so, and his soundwave has been so much fun to use. It really helps disrupting the opposing teams attack on the point, which messes with their shooting and confuses them for a few seconds while my team takes them out.

  27. This is off topic for starters but here it goes not a real easy topic of discussion for me but even though I am a new member on this site I’ve been visiting pj for years silently. I’d like to thank each of you for helping me deal with stuff in my personal life with out actually knowing it. My father died by suicide about 10 months ago about 4 days after Christmas here life got turned upside down for months I lost all joy in regular normal things like gaming( I still haven’t completed RBY yet) but seeing the comments and chatter on this site made it better in away but thank you ?? to all the members of the jungle for being there without knowing that you were.

      • She has an eating problem where sometimes she goes days without doing much eating or drinking. She’s actually really little in stature, i don’t like to throw this term around, but she is a borderline midget, so her habits sometimes reflect not eating well due to the stunted growth…

        Reply
        • Yup, but just remember, this is a sign of shutdown, it wasn’t quite there yet, i do hope i never have to see her like that again, she was regressive and acted like she lost the ability to speak, to make gestures properly, social cues were gone… and she was staring into nothing quite frequently…

  36. Picking up the Wiimote and Nunchuk after using the Switch for so long is such a weird feeling. But man, Galaxy is bringing back so many memories. I realize now that the reason my hype was so low was because I spent SO long without playing a 3D Mario game. October 27 can’t get here soon enough!

  37. Well tomorrow is my birthday and my last post as a 23yr old and I don’t feel excited at all… Maybe because my lone wolf lifestyle has made me alien and unresponsive towards generous feelings from others and besides its just a pitiful reminder of me aging and having a very lackluster life, stress, depression and overall anger
    After the weeks I’ve been dealing with I’m like borderline panic attack, I was in a cleaning frenzy and didn’t stop until everything in my room was in perfect order, he’ll I even refolded my clothes
    And I know for a fact I won’t be opening anything interesting because there’s truly nothing I want that I can’t get myself
    And my Stardew Valley addiction is really bad on my wrists,

    • I am kinda kicking myself for picking hilltop it has like very little farming space

      So far this Fall I only grew Cranbies and Pumpkins, and I stupidly didn’t buy any seeds on the side, I’m around the 17th and finally getting animals and making decent ore to build quality sprinklers

      I just need more big ticket crops before the winter, since I can’t farm or make huge profit it will be all about prepping my farm for spring, building a new farm and new layouts, tons of animals and finally upgrading all my tools to steel or gold, and finally upgrade my house

      Reply
      • Yeah I need to get to the gold levels of the mine. I have too much to water. I just started fall and just got the barn. My plans for this season are to get some cows, upgrade my axe to steel, and get the horse so I can stop wasting time. Then hopefully I have it by winter where I plan to upgrade my house.
