The first time you walk into the Seashore City gym, there’s a surprise in store.
The Gym Leader in this gym is Sheral. She’s a Psychic trainer who you can fight in the beta. Speaking of the beta, the layout is slightly different between the final and the released beta.
The problem is now locating where she is in the gym.
It’s quite a large gym. She’s in so many different places. They’re not her. Who’s the real one?

It’s been a long time without an update, so it’s time to deliver something new.
In the Goldenrod City Game Corner, which recently received a renovation, there’s a new game!
Put down a some of your money, and get coins. A bit devious, isn’t it? But, you have to be lucky! In the screenshots above, the player can put down 500 yen in a game of chance.
There are numerous outcomes dependent on chance. If you are unlucky enough to get “Bankrupt” (which happens often) then you’ll lose your bet. If you get a “no bonus”, you don’t lose your money. If you get any coins out of this, you still lose your bet but you get some coins out of it. On the table in the screenshot above, you can get 50 coins, but…
If you’re lucky, you can get up to 250 coins! …on this particular table only, that is.
There are different tables that bet different amounts. Perhaps you can fill your coin case much more easily?

Update: While rijonAdventures still uses the UPS format, we now have a different recommended method applying it to your ROM file. For up-to-date setup instructions, please click here.
rijonAdventures will be supporting a new patching format called UPS. This format allows for a much bigger ROM size (more for working on!). It’s a new format that aims to also iron out the problems with the IPS format.
(Note: rijonAdventures’ public beta is not currently using UPS.)
Please spread the use of this format!
UPS needs a big kickstart to get working, and it takes support from a lot of hacks! If you’re hacking a game, help the format out by changing from IPS to UPS.
And if you’re hacking Diamond and Pearl or plan to in the future, the UPS format will be absolutely necessary to use!
Read on to find out about why rijonAdventures will be using UPS and what benefits it provides.
Read morerijonAdventures will be using a new patching format called UPS, created by byuu. This format is being used as it supports creating patches and applying them to sizes much larger than 16 MB. In comparison, IPS can only handle 16 MB.
Archivist’s note: byuu’s page is now offline, I have instead linked an archived page snapped at the time of this blog post.
rijonAdventures will become a 32 MB ROM (or at least, larger than 16 MB). The extra space that UPS allows for means that there will be more content to put in the game. This can include much larger maps, more scripts and text, etc.
The version of rijonAdventures available to beta testers is in the UPS format, too.
The Unified Mother 3 Fan Translation project is already going to utilize the UPS format. For their intents and purposes, their use for the UPS format will further their ability to translate the game (and in their case, Mother 3 is unfortunately a 32 MB ROM, which IPS simply cannot support).
No. The UPS format’s specifications are different from the IPS format’s. However, just as there are patching programs for Lunar IPS, there are programs for UPS.
VisualBoyAdvance does not yet support UPS patches. Whether support will be implemented or not hasn’t been documented.
There are numerous UPS patchers available today. Windows users can download Tsukuyomi from here. Mac users can download UPS here.

There is a patching guide now available in the site’s Support and assistance section. This is used to primarily hard-patch rijonAdventures, though similar methods can be applied to any game that needs patching.

A bit of background first; I’ve never actually revealed much about the Elite Four, and while the beta testing team probably know their Pokémon, they don’t know exactly who they are or what they look like.
The Rijon Elite Four has changed significantly. The members are not the same Elite Four of Rijon that was shown in Brown, so it’s probably going to be nice to introduce some of you to one of the new members. I’ll only introduce two of them publicly, so the other two and their stories are going to remain a mystery for a while…
Marisa is the grand daughter of the Elite Four’s Agatha. Agatha herself was part of Rijon’s Elite Four (after leaving Kanto). As such, she has a similar preference of Ghost Pokémon to her grandmother. Marisa carries around a mask which she occasionally wears around in public.
She is the third member of Rijon’s current Elite Four.

Nicknamed “Karpman” in comparison to “Cartman” from South Park. His name is actually a pun of Magikarp. In rijonAdventures, a first name is revealed, but he’ll still be known by the name Karpman throughout most of the game. Everyone knows him by that nickname.
Lachlan is the first gym leader you encounter in Rijon. His gym is located in Merson City. You’ll find him to be a bit of a challenge depending on how well you’ve trained, and since his team consists of two water Pokémon, you might want to catch a Bellsprout if you picked Charmander as your starting Pokémon. Funny that, the Pokémon he uses in battle are very similar to the ones he used in Pokémon Brown…
Karpman’s not always in the gym. He trains on a beach sometimes and isn’t against a rematch with you. Even still, he’s not going to battle you with his so-called main team.
Hmm… I wonder what his main team even is…?

The third gym leader has only really appeared in the latest rijonAdventures beta, and his backstory isn’t really all that large. Scott is an eleven year old Pokémon trainer. Actually, no, he’s a Gym Leader of Jaeru City. And, despite his age, he’s more than just a Gym Leader.
Scott is an electrician, and works at all sorts of places. Though he’s seen with his retired father who tries to constantly tries to advise him how to work, he doesn’t need it. He’s that smart. And because he’s often doing small electrical jobs, you may not actually be able to get to his Gym (in the final version, of course).
Oh, and, as his trade is electric work, his favorite kinds of Pokémon are also of the electric-type.
