The World of Rijon is seeing a makeover! A new design is only the start to some very big changes happening to the Rijon trilogy. Because of some issues with the old site, we’ve quickly gotten onto fixing the whole site up. We’re not done with the design — the game pages will eventually be fleshed out with cool stuff too.

Here’s what’s going on:

  • Discord, baby! Use our Discord server to chat about the games, speculate, chat with the developers (from time to time) or chat about what’s coming soon (maybe not).
  • Pokémon Prism will have a playable release coming soon! Having just been hinted on Twitch Plays Pokémon, look forward to some Pokémon Prism action this September! With many major changes happening to Prism, it’s probably not fair to compare it to the very old betas going around, so it’s not available from The World of Rijon currently.
  • As we mentioned, Twitch Plays Pokémon happened, and Pokémon Brown was featured (DEMOCRACY! ANARCHY! A B B B B START START SELECT START SELECT!) The game’s already done, and we think it’s pretty great — so if you haven’t started your journey into the Rijon trilogy, download it already! (Or just read about it if you’re that kind of person.)
  • rijonAdventures is still a thing — but development has restarted. It’s steadily being done, but you’ll see some major changes to the story, fleshed out character development, a bit more modernization in relation to the newest Pokémon games, and the integration of numerous advancements in the ROM hacking scene. Oh, and tons of legacy cruft and bugs have been incinerated. Look forward to seeing some more of it over the coming months.

It’s gonna be a wild ride. Thanks for keeping up with us if you’ve been doing so since 2004. We’ve got so much more to deliver.

Anniversary Crystal Distro Card 2: ADAM

2930831

Here’s a wonderful tribute to the creator of Pokemon Brown, one of the developers that helped on AC, and the lead of the upcoming Pokemon Prism hack – Koolboyman! Check out this beefed up Porygon, ADAM!

As with the other distribution codes, please see the PCC located in Goldenrod City after you have acquired 16 GYM Badges to receive your gift!

Release: Pokémon Anniversary Crystal 1.2.3

EDIT: Links to our old site no longer work. You can now find Anniversary Crystal downloads at our project page here!

Release: Pokémon Anniversary Crystal 1.2.2

EDIT: Links to our old site no longer work. You can now find Anniversary Crystal downloads at our project page here!

It’s rather crucial that you are using this version rather than the previous, as we unintentionally introduced a bug with some flag checks.

Please make sure to update to this version ASAP! To be safe, please save next to a door so you can enter/exit to reload map data, as some things did need to be shuffled.

As always, also available over on the main TPPDevs site.

As a bonus, Pokemon Distribution only requires you having 16 Badges now, rather than the entire ‘dex complete!


Version 1.2.2

  • Fix Paras’ menu icon not animating
  • Slight alteration to male player sprite to stop hair from growing when walking
  • Fix PokeDex completion check for Diploma
  • Pokemon Distribution now gated behind having 16 GYM Badges, rather than all 251 Pokemon

Anniversary Crystal Distro Card 1: JLVWNNOOOO

12022014

Some may remember lil’ JLVWNNOOOO from our initial Red run. Well, we tracked him down in the wild and he’s back! He’s at the exact stats he was at last we saw him, rescued right before being let free, and he’s ready for some more training!


WOAH WHAT IS THIS????

Thanks to our amazing team of coders, we’ve implemented a distribution system similar to Nintendo’s own Mystery Gift feature!

You may have noticed that the Pokemon center in Goldenrod got a makeover. FUNNY HOW THAT WORKS! There is a new kiosk located inside of the center that will be enabled once you have captured all 251 Pokemon gotten 16 GYM Badges, and will allow you to redeem codes! These codes will gift you very special Pokemon.

Stay tuned as we have many more where this came from!

This will only work on version 1.2 and above of Anniversary Crystal

Anniversary Crystal data dump

Originally posted by asdf14396

Since lots of things have been changed for this hack (wild Pokemon, trainers, and so on), we’ve decided to build some documentation on things like wild encounters, learnsets and the like, since the information available in other sources (e.g., Buibapedia) won’t always apply here.

That documentation will eventually be available for interactive browsing (on the same website as the ROM patches, where right now there is a download link to a .zip file instead). However, the data is also available as a raw JSON file, in case someone wants to do something with the data in machine-parsable form (perhaps even make your own website to show the data, who knows).

EDIT: latest version 2016-05-14 23:50:02

I’ll keep the JSON updated if anything changes, so make sure to check the version in the JSON itself (which is simply a UTC timestamp) to ensure you have the latest version. (Also, fair warning, it’s 8 MB.)

If you have any questions about the dataset, ask ahead and I’ll answer to the best of my capacity. Enjoy!
