This post is my observation on the playable character, NPCs, and the camera. Awesome stuff if you’re interested. Otherwise, turn away.

Another observation: playable character
October 18th, 2009RNG and weather
October 17th, 2009This is certainly not an original idea. In fact, it’s something that I’ve seen long before – the first person to demonstrate it of whose name I forget designed it for his hack, Pokémon Dirt Brown (which, mind you, actually has no relation to Pokémon Brown and never made it to the public… as the person had lost interest).
Using RNG, I’ve thought up a similar system. It might actually be the same as this one; I’ll never know since the hack never released. My system (which I actually wrote on paper but now the sheet’s disappeared) involves changing weather depending on certain variables to another weather condition. For example, if it’s sunny in a map at the moment, then there may be a small chance that the sky will become cloudy (and then, the area will seemingly dim) when the player enters another map. When the player enters another map, there’s a chance that it will start raining, or it will become clear again. (Perhaps the chance that it starts raining will be somewhat high.) Enter another map, and the rain will either clear instantaneously (low chance), the rain will stop and the map will return to a cloudy state (high chance), or, for the worst possible condition, a thunderstorm will occur (low, low chance).
Adios, The World of Rijon forums
October 14th, 2009It took its time – The World of Rijon Forums is now out of the picture. This spurred from a lack of motivation to keep it up-to-date and it wasn’t exactly active to begin with. But that’s not going to hold us back now, is it? Nope; look forward to a Pokémon ROM hacking Wiki in the future to replace it. (Couple that with vBulletin’s expensive licensing solutions and the situation gets expensive.)
If you need help with the Rijon trilogy, some options will remain available: the Wiki will have discussion areas for help with any hack available there (obviously, the Rijon series will be there too). Alternatively, the PokéCommunity Forums offer the Rijon Trilogy help thread, and threads for rijonAdventures, Brown and Prism.
And if that’s not enough, Commenting is enabled on our blog posts so that you can criticise every single move we do.
Thank you for your support of the Rijon trilogy, and we hope to see your activity in future efforts.
Gym Leader campaign… again!
October 8th, 2009You’ve heard of “Challenge Leaders” before, but the whole concept hasn’t really been explained that much. I’ve actually ended up calling them “Gym Leaders” again, but the entire concept behind them remains the same. What are they, exactly?
Rachel and Chad are two Gym Leaders of… South Rijon. That’s right; you heard right – South Rijon has Gym Leaders. The reward for defeating them is a secret right now, but unlike Gold/Silver, where you end up battling Gym Leaders at toned-down levels, South Rijon’s Gym Leaders are going to be challenging. When I say challenging, I mean Level 60+ challenging.
Oh, and the final challenge (South Rijon’s champion)? Expect a fight where the highest-levelled Pokémon is an astoundingly high Level 100. (The regret here is that you may, unless you cheat or find a random supply of Rare Candy, never actually be able to finish the game.) Who’s the hotshot with such a crazy, blasphemy-of-a-high levelled Pokémon?
That’s for another day.
Speaking of refinements (late)
October 5th, 2009The website blog’s being melded back into the main site, meaning that the “rijonAdventures official site” is finished. The old site will still be up (but not updated – feel free to steal that layout for your own website if you’re still interested. Or, steal any of our older, uglier layouts for your own site.) The PokéCommunity’s rijonAdventures thread will also be updated with information seen in this blog.
Future updates will be posted here. Like this update I’m posting right now.
Lakes Entrance, South Rijon
Have you seen the new town in South Rijon? This is the first town you’ll come to.
Lakes Entrance is actually based a bit off the Victorian town of the same name. As such, it’s a town that’s far from the city and being the first town of South Rijon, it’s also a tourist area. (I forgot to put a Hotel in.) It’s got a beach and is known for Krabby fishing, too. (The real Lakes Entrance is popular because it’s abundant with crabs, mind you the crustacean kind, though they, unlike Krabby, are fished out, cooked and eaten.)
What more is there to South Rijon? I’ll reveal some information later on about it. Maybe.
What’s this?
September 21st, 2009This is very clearly a blog – and it’s a work in progress as part of a nice visual and technical refresh. We’ve upgraded to WordPress! And we’re missing tons of content! (I mean to fix this.) So while we’re getting prepared (and this time I’m actually ready to work on it since WordPress is damn awesome to use) take the pleasure to browse our forums.
By the way, if you liked that irrelevant TF2 page, you can see it again here.
