Starters Untamed: Johto

Good day PJ readers! I just want to start off saying thank you for such great feedback that was given on my previous article on the Gen I starters. It was more of a success than I initially thought, and I’m very grateful of your insights! And due to some requests I’ll be completing the rest of the starters and go from there. Each Pokémon has their own sets of uses in competitive play, so the amount of talk and debate surrounding this topic is pretty in depth.  Read it all after the break!

Spotlight: Team Plasma

Like previous games, Pokémon Black and White have their own resident evil team that you have to face numerous times throughout the game play. However, unlike Teams Rocket, Magma, Aqua and Galactic, Team Plasma is not after control. Their goal more simply is the freeing of Pokémon from being slaves to humans. Team Plasma sees humans as below them, having already opened their … Read more

Starters Untamed: Kanto

Good day fellow PJ-ers! Mr. Bojingles here reporting for duty. This is a new article that PJ and I contrived regarding the analysis of the pokemon during competitive Pokémon play. What I’ll be doing is basically going over how different pokemon fare in the competitive world. While I’ve been playing Pokémon since its inception in the late 90s, I only recently got sucked into playing other players. If anybody who has ever played in tournaments/online can definitely relate when I say this game is WAY deeper than it comes off to the uninitiated. I think that these articles will help those of you out who are interested in playing competitively, and if not, then I hope you enjoy the read.  To start off this series I’ll be going over the starters of each generation (starting with Gen I of course). It’s only logical to go begin with the ones who started it all!  Read it all after the break!

Focus On: Grass-Type

All good things must come to an end and this is the last type to focus on for ‘Generation V’ pokemon.  Luckily, as we’ve mentioned before, this only means that our ‘Focus On’ articles can find new subjects to cover.  Ozy will be diving into Black and White’s different gym leaders next!  Let’s dive into … Read more

PJ Plays: Explorers of Sky [#1]

Welcome to a NEW running article feature of the site, “PJ Plays”.  I’ll be trying out pokemon side games from the past and present and writing about them as I play (instead of a review-style overview).  So join me as I tackle Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky.  I’ve never played any of the previous Dungeon installments so even though this is the 5th game it’ll be an entirely new experience for me (a disclaimer because I can’t complain about how similar it was to the last games).  Even though I don’t have previous experience I do know a lot about the games since I’ve covered them from a news aspect.  Find the article after the break!
