  1. Has anyone seen “Unseelie Fairy” and Menacing? They’re my favorites and sometime this week I wanna challenge them to a battle with my outdated comp Pokémon lol

    Is the PJN chat still a thing?

        • Hail gets kind of troublesome… I had this problem with A.Ninetales where she would be fine but the rest of my Pokémon would take chip damage

          Reply
          • I worked around that in game by only using it in the battle or just considering it a Handicap. It’s generally worth it once Aurora Veil is set up.

          • It’s a minor nitpick… I was mostly tired of not seeing the nice sky because of the ugly snow clouds.

            Btw Hail should be called “Snow”

          • I know hail is literally ice falling from the sky but I feel like it’s not representative of ice. Maybe a tornado? But not ice. Nobody likes hail. I’ve never wanted it to hail on Christmas. I don’t enjoy winter because of hail. HAIL NO

            Sorry I just hate hail

          • So do I. Hail can actually be very dangerous and annoying/worrying to hear. I think hail fits ice just fine. It occurs with cold. Besides we have moves like Blizzard, Icy Wind, Powder Snow etc that represent snow for Ice types just fine.

  2. Hmm well while people are here I still can’t think of what exactly I want as my final Pokémon.
    I already have Fire/Dark, Normal, Rock, Water/Ice and Grass/Fairy

    So what Pokémon type would fill a good 6th slot so any Pokémon you could suggest that can be found on Akala or Ula’Ula?

  3. Okay so just to clear up any confusion… I’m August, the 20 year old gay baldy Flying type enthusiast from the army. NOT Sunniera 2.0 I know we have the same nickname but yeah I’m Soggy Auggy

    I was feeling self-conscious about my thicc neck so I changed my profile to be more simple and not so revealing lol

  4. -____- my Puggy isn’t doing good
    She seems shocked and quiet… A bunch of my brother’s friends came over and she was barking up a storm but now she’s submissive…

    • There are two things I wish for that series. The first is that they had ended the show like they did the manga. The second is that I wish the show was dubbed. I wanna say Funimation had steppes in to stop fan subs on behalf of the Japanese company that made it. So why not have them license the show for Western audiences?

  5. I lost to the electric trial.
    Wow well done GF it’s a well thought trial strategically very difficult and much more challenging than SM version.

    Reply
          • Well that’s entirely your opinion though? Just because he likes Gen.6 doesn’t mean you need to say stuff like that. Even if you believe last time you guys fought he started it, don’t try and mimic him, be the bigger person and let it go

            Sorry to nitpick just something about this really flared my emotions rn

          • no sh*t I know he has opinions.

            There is having opinions and then there is being such a blind fanboy that you refuse to apply your critical thinking skills and just praise a game company for doing their damn job

          • Yeah. F*ck me for demanding more out of my games. Honestly I can’t stand you. Your constant “positivity” only comes off as fake and patronizing. Reading your comments is like listening to an education show on PBS Kids or some sh*t. Oh there is no wrong in the world ever. Everything is amazing. And it’s your kind of “focusing on the positives” that enable game companies to f*ck the consumers over even more.

            Christ, I cant stand you. Can you just act like a person? You know it’s ok to dislike something right? It’s ok to feel negative emotions. What is happiness if you are always all upbeat and chipper. It’s fake and meaningless and everyone else here has bought into it

          • Ok so you’re coming on my post attacking me for being positive? That’s very nice of you.
            I have a lot of negative things to say but I don’t because there’s no need for me to. I come here to have a chill, a laugh with fellow junglers not to moan about my life or how bad the weather is.
            As for USUM I can only be critical once I’ve finished the whole game atm I’m playing it and want to enjoy it.
            I’m not sure why you dislike me so much and feel the need to write all that^
            Everyone knows me well now, I have a lot of friends. We all having fun here, you are also welcome to join us. Please drop it.

          • This is supposed to be a forum for general happenings,progress, communication so on so fourth so why the hate mongering? Like f*ck I’ve been coming to this site for years recently started posting and all this in fighting over games that a majority of us bought is tearing this site apart can we all just get along for f*cksake

          • Yeah he’s the coolest guy on here so fun and love his warrior like personality.
            You’re right this is a place to talk, chill have fun but these fights kill the peace.
            We’ve had a good 2 weeks or so since USUM release no one has started any fights and guess who comes to spoil the party star.
            Like im just posting about my trial progress and out of nowhere she comes and attacks me.
            I’m just ignoring her and focusing on myself but if she continues I’ll have to report her.
            Thanks for sorting everything out :]
            Are you playing USUM??

          • Yea I got them for my birthday from my fiancé she got the dual pack for me and UM for herself we kinda play them Togather( I’m the better all around player since I’ve been playing it since RBY) but I’m on Akala at the moment due to work and the holiday I haven’t really played and the drag of seeing people fight on here killed my mood ??‍♂️ Honestly my team atm is primarina, toucannon, lycandusk,flaffy,zoroark,Magby( just captured) oh that’s is ultra sun btw. In ultra moon I’m on Melemele with dartrix,trumbeak,inkay

          • If “doing their job” includes making their games challenging, then I disagree with you. Pokemon’s target age is like 10-12, isn’t it? At the very least, there’s a reason USUM mentions the age 11 so many times.
            We’ve clearly seen that GF doesn’t care about anyone except those who grew up w/Gen 1 and those who are about 10-12. Do they really need to make a challenging game for them? I don’t agree with their practice at all, but they really don’t need to be making a challenging game. Their “job” is to produce something enjoyable to their target demographic.
            In the same way you would say “if you want a story driven game, don’t play Pokemon”, I would say “if you want a challenging game, don’t play Pokemon”.
            I like that USUM has been surprisingly challenging. With that said, I don’t agree they should even exist at all, but given that they do, I’m glad I find them hard.

          • Oh cool. I guess you’re still seeing good old magmar going for his morning jogs 😛
            I’m at Ula Ula, just returned to Malie City!

          • Yes I did but only once.
            It really gave me a nostalgic trip to Kanto even if it was quite basic.
            I wish we go back to Kanto one day like a new Kanto

    • Yeah, I’m glad there’s some challenge. Even some of the regular trainers are annoyingly difficult. Though, if I’m being honest, the difficulty was never one of my problems with regular SM.

      Reply
      • Exactly! In gen 6 they wen back on the difficulty but SM with gen 7 especially USUM they’ve made the game more challenging which for me is more fun.
        This electric trial is ridiculously well thought out. I’m really impressed :]

  6. @TheLastKurusu:disqus the egg is ready. Also maybe call it clanger as it kind of reminds me of the Soup Dragon from The Clangers and, y’know, has 2 clanging moves.

  7. I feel really quite unwell right now. Have headache and my muscles and joints hurt. I feel like I get all the sickness going round, probably because people cough and sneeze everywhere without caring about anyone else -_- Also think I hallucinated a large black wolf and a person walking across the road dressed in black medieval robes whilst I was half asleep earlier which was weird. Anyway might watch some One Piece and go to sleep now I think. On a side note I have only Friend Ball Charmander to get and I’ll have all 8 new combos for it.

  8. Why does Pokejungle feel so empty nowadays….
    It just feels like the site is now an empty shell of its former self.. it’s kinda depressing…. I think I’m post less frequently. Maybe just to post here and there… otherwise … it’s kinda depresing

  9. Well with all the negativity going around with Net Neutrality, at least I can be happy with 100% proof I’m getting a PS4 for Christmas! So, my mom got $350 credit for Fingerhut and one time my mom went on Fingerhut on my phone because she left her phone home, and my mom never signs out of things unless it’s a bank account or something, I refuse to check on the website in case my mom will be able to tell, but Fingerhut ads usually have things you’ve recently looked at and I got this ad today https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e64b172fb2c5bea9b183cc20bbf5345d1c544157d8a58eda4392e7ce16723a1a.png
