We’re just days away from 2018 which happens to be a “Year of the Dog” according to the Chinese Zodiac. In Japan, the country of origin for the Pokémon series, there are reminders everywhere as New Years draws near. There are also plenty of dog-like Pokémon now in the series, so many so that it might be hard to just pick one favorite but today we challenge you to do just that! What is your favorite dog (or dog-like) Pokémon?!
From Poochyena to Furfrou, Granbull to Manectric, what’s your favorite Pokémon that resembles a dog from our own world?
Here are some pictures to give you inspiration as you think of your answer! Tell us below!
Well I’m going to bed, 2017 you were a gigantic steaming pile of shite, I only fear for the worst in the upcoming year
I guess I’m going to Yemen.

Hey guys! I know it’s been a while, but I wanted to stop in for the end of the year, mostly to explain my GotY list and main hopes for 2018. Let me know yours as well!
Whew, what a great year it’s been for gaming. The beginning of the year showed promise, and although there was a lot of doubt, this year really delivered. With that, I’m gonna say my top 5.
Personal GotY 2017 List
5) Splatoon 2 – I’ve talked extensively on this one. I loved the game and put 110 hours into it, but what holds it back the most is that it doesn’t vary all that much from the original. Updates fixed some of this, and it’s still thouroughly enjoyable. If it isn’t broke, I guess.
4) Fire Emblem: Echoes – Great remake updated for the current era, loved the VA and the story, deep new characters.
3) Super Mario Odyssey – Wonderful exploration, soundtrack, collectibles. Didn’t hook me nearly as much as the next two, but still fantastic.
2) Breath of the Wild – Not much new to say here, still a masterpiece.
1) Xenoblade Chronicles 2 – A complete masterpiece. Fantastic characters, narrative, soundtrack, rewarding battle system, sense of exploration, and an overall blast. Not without flaws- mainly some weak story moments and some less than enthusiatic voice acting, but great nonetheless.
All in all, on the last day of the year, I can firmly say that 2017 was the most enjoyable year in gaming for me, period.
It’s time to move on, I suppose, though, given that we literally only have a few hours depending on where you live. In that light, here are my main three hopes for 2018.
Hopes/Hypes for 2018
3) Monster Hunter: World – this one isn’t so much of a hope as it is just a shout-out to the game. I am indescribably hyped for this game. I loved the beta, it seems like what Monster Hunter always wanted to be. I can’t wait, and luckily I won’t have to too much.
2) NO Pokemon Switch – looking back a month later, USUM actually really disappointed me. I enjoyed SM more, and while it was great while playing through, it didn’t have much to catch and hold me. I want them to not feel pressured for 2018 release and take their time on a polished and content-full game. We’ll see, though.
1) Animal Crossing Switch – nintendo pls
All in all, I hope they can keep up the momentum. But who knows? For now, I’m gonna sit back, play some FE: Warriors, and waste the last hours of the year, just like I have the rest.
i wish i knew how to summarize all the stuff i wanna say about the games that came out this year >.>
I felt like I was rambling a bit as it typed it. Too many “fantastic,” “masterpeice,” and “great” uses, but oh well. Though now I feel that those words are meaningless unless you’ve played the game, so I guess I should’ve tried harder. Oops.
I wrote 1300+ words on botw earlier.
So uhh
I really like this game
There, 5 words. Editing done!
Just remembered– you probably know already, but Amazon has listed some untitled switch games, labelled to be revealed “at the January Event.” Hopefully they do one like last year, but we probably would’ve heard by now.
isn’t there that one scene in chronicles 2 that gets memed?
I mean, a few of them are I know for sure. Which one specifically?
It apparently happens in like a cutscene where a boss named morag is brought up and one of the jumping thingies is in front of the character speaking and he just knocks it back
Oh, I know what you mean now! Yeah, that’s fairly early on, Rex just ignores Tora by shoving him aside.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hZFYAAWDj8Y
Around 1:14:50, should be it.
It’s freaking hilarious
I mean, I read an interview that said that half of the GF team has been working on the switch title during the entire time the newer half of the team (with some veteran members as well) was working on Sun and Moon. So it really isn’t rushed… if anything it’ll be 3-4 years or even longer.
I think these are the best Pokemon songs to reflect on the future for 2018. They’re what I may be using at least!

best thing in 2017
Exactly 1 hour and 51 mins. left in my area for 2017.
Ahh it was good year, but also a bit crummy in some parts so I rate this year 6.5/10
I got a few Pokémon I’ve been saving for a few days, but I’ll let them be apart of my introduction to 2018
can’t make a top 5 games of 2017 cause I didn’t really play much
I mean
USUM, Arms, Odessey, BOTW, and Cuphead were the only new to 2017 games I got
I got a few other games from older years though
Rating the past three years for me
2015- 5.0/10
2016- 3.0/10
2017- Started like a 7 but ended at like a 2/10
Can’t wait to see how next year starts up
For my top 5 games of 2017, these are them:
5) Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon – Fun filler game that helped me get two plus boxes of shinies, a shiny Pheromosa and shiny Oricorio.
4) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Amazing kart game with an epic battle mode and some new characters.
3) Splatoon 2 – Fun battling sequel that unfortunately got boring after a fe months.
2) Super Mario Odyssey – Amazing phenomenal game that barely is behind BOTW.
1) BOTW – Fantastic, gigantic exploring game with emotion and comedy and power and so on.
Also my last few years:
2012 – 7.5/10 (good year but I was scared of the end of the world by the last few months and lost a good few months to that paranoia)
2013 – 8/10
2014 – 8/10
2015 – 9/10
2016 – 6.5
2017 – 6.5
Well I guess because I like jumping on the Bandwagon for Top 5’s I’ll just do my Top 5 (Note I don’t have a Switch, but since I played a Demo of 2 of them at Wal-Mart and saw what its like it gets a pass)

Idk if this is in a particular order i just numbered cuz why not. Here’s to a 2018 filled with a good Fire Emblem switch game, a remake of Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War on switch, a good pokemon game despite the horrible rumors, digimon cyber sleuth 2, pikmin, bayonetta, and hopefully smash on switch. And last thing, heres hoping 2018 is a good year. Hopefully closing a bad year doesnt open a new bad year. Hoping for things to look better specifically regarding school and life. Happy New Year you guys
Hi y’all! Happy new year to everyone! Here’s hoping 2018 is a year of blessings, good health, fun games, and wonderful memories!
I had a blast this year as it consisted of my switch purchase and many wonderful memories playing Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart, and of course, BOTW + DLC. I look forward to Yoshi, Pokemon (at the very least we will have rumors, trailers, speculation, and reveals this coming year), hopefully Smash for the switch, and so much more!
2018 will be the year I start grad school, the year I get my own place and move out of my parent’s house, and the year I continue to reinvent myself.
Thank you all for a wonderful year!
Happy New year EST people
And a HAPPY NEW 2018 YEAR TO POKEJUNGLE.NET EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR YOU BEAUTIFUL BASTARDS!
I just read that in Phillip Defrancos voice lol
Shithousand17 has ended
What does 18 have in store for us innocent folk
I’m sorry 2017 was so bad for you. 🙁
Personally, 2017 was the best year I’ve had in a while, mostly because it’s hard to be worse than ’15 and ’16. Hopefully only good things are in store next!
I hope so too for ya
I wonder if I’ll survive this year
i still have another hour of 2017 you bitches
Happy new Y E A R
It’s 9:18 here in Caleefornioh.
Yep, time to reminisce, watch the clock turn over, and wonder why I do this every year.
Where on Earth do you live? I thought you lived in South East US?
its 2018 now my dude
Tennesseeeeeeeee
If I ever stop being lazy I’ll write an USUM review
It’s gonna be pretty positive but I still got some stuff to touch on
So how is everyone ending their 2017? I played xenoverse for hours and for the last minutes of 2017 I am watching my favorite movie of 2017 again! Fingers crossed they announce a sequel in 2018! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/207db72b4e6cda74870b4dbe1511047570a5dfdd0033aea22e9e1a5338473d75.jpg
Watched the end of a movie that made little sense and ended on a so-so note
What part made little sense? That said I really hoping we get a sequel because there is so much potential with this franchise. And with how Rita looked I want to see what they do with Lord Zedd!
It was called The Ice Harvestors (Yeah I haven’t seen Power Rangers yet, but I know I’ll like it Probably should have made that more clear)
The movie I watched story was kind odd and all over the place and all, but 3 characters ended up dead and some were very unnecessary
Oh lol thought you were talking about tre power ranger movie. If you grew up on it like I did I highly recommend watching it! Really great movie. And I have never heard of the ice harvesters in all honesty. May need to look it up later
Yo everyone it has been a while. It has been a busy and stress-filled winter break but I wanted to wish everyone a Happy 2018, especially those currently living in the CT time zone as I am right now.
Well it’s officially 2018 where I live so happy new year everyone! If 2017 was a person I would tell it to kiss my ass lol
I have chosen a most horrible new years resolution.
I’ve decided to go on what I call a word cleanse, meaning I’m going to curse less. Will be tough, but I will remain steadfast
shitasstits
goona go to sleep but I’ll give an excerpt from my Splatoon 2 section of my best of 2017 essay
Splatoon 2’s hands down best addition is an online co-op mode called Salmon Run. The goal is to make it three waves fighting off oncoming hordes of enemies while collecting golden eggs from bosses using preset weapons and gear.
The maps are small and concentrate on a few spawn areas and the egg collection area. An interesting push and pull occurs as enemy spawns start off quite manageable. Enemies will rarely make it very far. As the round moves along, more bosses and enemies spawn.
The bosses all have unique ways of being dealt with requiring more concentration meaning that more enemies can slip through the cracks and very quickly baddies will start to overwhelm your team. The mode will push your movement and aim to the test as you desperately head towards the basket to drop the last egg in as time ticks down, your team is completely dead and you’re being fired at from every direction. It’s amazing.
I agree, Salmon Run is a great idea and perfect addition to the Splatoon universe. However, I’ve been Profreshional rank for quite a while now and am deterred to go back because I don’t want to jeopardize that ranking, nor do I want to be challenged so greatly every time I play. Besides that, it’s great.
Happy New Year for all of you who are now in the future! We’re about 90 minutes away in California right now, so the excitement isn’t quite here yet. I know you’re all distracted, but this whole Nintendo Direct situation is slowly picking up steam. First, someone named John Harker (who used to be on Neogaf and apparently had/has connections) is claiming the Direct will be on Thursday, January 11, presumably with an announcement on Tuesday, January 9. I think this is the most likely outcome myself, but I still have a thread of hope that it’ll happen this week. Lastly, there’s this amusing leak on 4chan right now which conflicts with the previously mentioned information but I still find remotely interesting to think about.

Oh, and sorry about the bad word at the top of the 4chan one, I didn’t take the screenshot. And I don’t condone the language. It’s 4chan being 4chan.
knitty gritty adventure…
if this is real i dont know if ill laugh or cry
That seems to be the one that has people hooked from this whole thing, it isn’t just you. I think it’s perfect enough to be real, although clearly it probably isn’t.
Oh how I would love to get the South Park games on switch. That said I doubt this leak is true although I do see Mario odyssey getting dlc personally. We shall see hopefully soon.
