==History==
Pokejungle's history goes back to the year 2003. As posted by Pokejungle in his bio:
PokéJungle.net was started in late 2003/early 2004 by its webmaster Paul. The site was originally started on free hosting but is now maintained on a dedicated server. Early on the site was known simply as PokéJungle, though later the site became PokéJungle Network, the name by which it is known today.  
"A little PJN History:
Started in late 2003 / early 2004 when I was 13. I used my ISP’s free webspace.
Hosts of PJN include Earthlink, Hosting Anime, Freewebs, Shyper, Elixant, and Downtown Host
“PokeJungle” was the original site name until I added “Network” awhile after.  There was also a period of time (2 months maybe) when it was called “Crobat’s Jungle”.
The early forums used ProBoards and were named “Crobat’s Cavern”.  This later became Mt. Moon Community after we rebranded it and launched it on my own hosting.
Most people to visit my site in one day was 10,000 when Diamond and Pearl launched.  So far in the BW era I have reached near 7,000 people in one day."

The PokéJungle Network now consists of three main sites: PokéJungle.net, Smeargle's Playground and Mt. Moon Community.

PokéJungle.net is a personal blog and Pokémon news source, run by the webmaster, Paul (who also goes by the name "pokejungle"). The site had its highest activity record broken around the release of Pokémon X and Y.

History

PokéJungle.net was started in late 2003/early 2004 by its webmaster Paul. The site was originally started on free hosting but is now maintained on a dedicated server.

The PokéJungle Network now consists of three main sites: PokéJungle.net, Smeargle's Playground and Mt. Moon Community.

PokéJungle.net's webmaster, Paul, wrote in his bio:

"A little PJN History:

  • Started in late 2003 / early 2004 when I was 13. I used my ISP's free webspace.
  • Hosts of PJN include Earthlink, Hosting Anime, Freewebs, Shyper, Elixant, and Downtown Host
