Rijon Drawing Board

Yes, I was fully aware that the old map was ugly and outdated compared to many of the new areas in the game. It's good to refresh something every once in a while. (Especially since the map hasn't been touched for years.)

Been a while since my last update (three months). Much too busy this year, though I've been doing things. I'm not dead!

A lot of things are worked on, never you worry. The project goal has been thrown off a fair bit, but in the process, I can make a whole lot of refinements to the game. And clean up my dirty work. Maybe I'll be able to release a beta with all of the Rijon region accessible.

In the meantime, take a look one of the kinds of changes I'm making.

Apparently, the computer of the artist who's working on rijonAdventures' excellent art has needed a reformat. But, hopefully I can show you guys more art later on!

Virturia is a virtual reality chamber. The world inside is completely virtual. You're thrown straight into this world as part of the South Rijon quest.

Panning Creek is one of the areas of South Rijon.

It consists of bridges, bridges, and a long river.

There are numerous spots where you'll find hidden items, as well. What kind of items flow down this creek?

To those new to the Rijon Trilogy, you probably don't know what the region of Rijon is.

Rijon first appears in Pokémon Brown. It consists of numerous cities. First, you probably should know where you start—Seashore City. Seashore is one of the cities in the southwest area of Rijon, known for many mountains and caves. Many cities and forests the west to the east areas of Rijon. The eastern area is particularly known for Castro Valley, which is a harbor town. The southern area of Rijon consists of the sea and nothing more.

Geographically in the Rijon Trilogy canon, Rijon is located south of Johto; there is a small island in Johto which connects to the region. West of Rijon is the Naljo region, which is featured in Pokémon Prism. And new to rijonAdventures is South Rijon, which is south of the Rijon region, accessible from Merson City.

There are a lot of things in Rijon that I'll detail in later entries. Stay tuned!

Let's face it; no Japanese-style hotel (in Merson City!) is complete without hot springs! And there's one way to get into them; through the Hotel! This area is not available in the public beta. There's a small oversight that may allow you to access the exterior suites and the spas, but this may lead to a game-ending glitch. It has been corrected in a small beta rerelease which you can download in the Downloads section.


You may accidentally smash into the women's spa by a not-so-obvious means (or if you're a girl player, vice versa). If you're a boy, you're invading the privacy of numerous women, so your appearance is not so welcome.



That's just morally wrong, but oh so comedic.

This area is accessible in the beta already. I'm sure you all know that. But, there might be a few things you don't know about the town.

Seashore is the down you start out at. There are all sorts of places worth visiting here, though there are more outside, of course!


I won't go into too much detail about the places you can already visit in the beta, though. Soon, I'll be talking about the new areas!

But first, there's one more thing I should talk about for the day.
