Pokémon Prism arrives in December

If you haven’t already seen the trailer, check it out!

Pokémon Prism arrives December 2016.

The development team have been hard at work to bring you Pokémon Prism, and the players at Twitch have surely loved every moment — bugs to squash, odd Pokémon nicknames and absolute ANARCHY abound! We hope you’ll like it too!

Hit that reset button!

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.

You are challenged by Gym Leader Miis!

The one thing I hate about Miis are the lack of exotic/unusual hairstyles (and anime hair colours). Oh well.

The awesomeness (this is opinion) of this pic brings the slaughter to SPAM

News: rijonAdventures is not dead. Now onto updates you might not actually be interested in:

So apparently I haven’t been doing enough to curb SPAM, so instead you get this picture to feast on rather than look at ads of crap that nobody wants.

Hope to set up a forum and use it for the comments system. It’d probably be better than WordPress’s default system because integration is delicious. In fact, I’ve gone and bought forum software (borrowing others’ is not fun) but that won’t see the light of day yet. Maybe I’ll open it up so that you guys can comment on stuff.

It’s Clock Day!

Don’t ask. Just put some strawberries in a blender, add milk, add clockworks and have fun. 🙂 Watch out for the eventual rijonAdventures beta at some point of which I haven’t actually thought about the date for and its obscure references to this monumental day.

Well here’s something new

Do you like what I see? That’s all you’ll see of it… for now.

Oya?

Horray for glitches!

This weird error surfaced in rijonAdventures and I need to get it fixed. But yeah, that’s a known glitch for you all to know. 😛

To multi-select Pokémon in a box, you press the SELECT button to change the cursor into quick select mode. You then press and hold the A button over the Pokémon you want to select. Normally, the Pokémon highlight in red, but here they disappear!

This feature exists in FireRed, LeafGreen, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. You will probably also have spotted it in Pokémon Box.

When things go wrong

Just went crazy trying to figure out why the Download buttons for each page didn’t show up. Fortunately, it’s working fine now. I’m going to start adding a download button to posts now, so if there’s a new beta or something, you can download it without navigating to each page.

Speaking of downloads, rijonAdventures was meant to be released around a month after Prism, so I may consider releasing the rijonAdventures beta a month after Prism’s upcoming beta release. Hmm.

Play your own hack, and see others do it

So, I’ve added quite a bit of stuff to rijonAdventures since the early 2009 beta. A year ago I said, “Rijon is finished, time to move onto South Rijon”, but oh was I wrong. So many little things to fix and add, text inconsistencies to iron out, high school, uni, uni, and so many annoying little things that I did that just look bad.

Yes, reviewing how your own hack looks and works is a good idea. But a good hack doesn’t just start from my own assessment of my game – it depends on what others say about it.

So I’ve been stalking the “Let’s Play” videos on YouTube. Found this guy:

(I hope he realised he needs to fix that save error. Methinks I need to make it more obvious. And another thing: I realise it’s a year old.)

I also stumbled across this video of Brown from the same person. Orangeylicious!
