Update 1
Well, it's not really an update, its the start, but it goes with my numbering system.
Let’s Play: Pokemon Rijon Adventures!
Because dedicating this valuable time to uni work is for suckers.
Yes, inspired by Dervon and Dark, and having just read far too many Let’s Plays I’m going to run one.
Pokemon Rijon is a hack of Pokemon Fire Red. It turns out there’s a rather large community of people modifying Pokemon games and creating their own maps/characters/Pokemon, see the infamous Pokemon Quartz.
Pokemon Rijon is actually quite good, proper English (mostly) and everything. It’s still the beta version though, so the game finishes after the elite four, the final version the area of Rijon will be connected to the canon lands, as we will see near the end (provided we get that far). Rijon is an original map/story, no new Pokemon.
Pokemon Rijon can be downloaded at:
The “official” site
You need the Fire Red (US version) rom to patch it over.
Also RedChocobo, who did most of the well known Pokemon Let’s Plays is both funnier and a better artist than me, just sit back, enjoy the ride and don’t get your hopes up too much.
Just an FYI the whole pokehax community seems to be very Spanish, hence the prevalence of dodge translations (*cough* Quartz again). Maybe I shouldn’t have picked one of the better games…. Nah, I want something I can stand playing.
Seems unnecessary no? I’ve seen Pokemon Quartz for sale at swap meets, full on gameboy cartridge Pokemon Quartz. It confused me to no end at the time XD
Also I’ll probably assume you have some vague Pokemon knowledge, especially of the first 150, if you have a question, ask.
-Dadada dadada dadada dadada dadada dadada! Da! Daa Da! Daa dadada dadada dadada da!-
My money’s on the Gengar
Wha- hey! I was watching that!
Who won?
Well here we go
I
have been looking forward to this day.
It’s quite nice they keep up the You’re-Red’s-kid continuity through out the whole game.
By “less”, try, never again.
I named my journal “The Protagonist”
that’ll confuse anyone who reads it!
Oak!
…wait? Tim?
Witness protection? Son? long lost twin? Clone? CLAMP time distorted oh-that’s-so-wrong clone? Monty Python fan?
/This world/
/People around the world live alongside their Pokemon./
/A lot of people engage in competitive battling/
You know, those who don’t treat them like fighting dogs and roosters
War in Pokemon-land must be freaking terrifying
/study of Pokemon/
Like you Oa- I’m sorry
Tim
Horribly maiming the Pokemon of young children in order to take their meagre pocket money? Lets face it gnawing on a Catapie until it passes out shouldn’t be that easy to heal.
Nidoran went back into the ball… wait where is the ball?
Huh, Tim really is a Wizard/Enchanter.
Decision the first!
or
And what’s our name?
7 Characters max
Ditto with our Rival
Pick our starter too and a nickname (10 characters max)
Evolves into… well that, but bigger, uglier and with a big flower on its back. Final form is a Grass/poison type, poison is a fairly useless type IMHO as there are so few good moves in it and it doesn’t have the advantage over much. Traditionally makes the game easier as it has the type advantage over the first two gyms, however the gyms in the version are different, so it doesn’t really matter.
/it./
Evolves into a flying fire dragon. Fire/Flying type, so grass types tremble at the sight of it, it also negates ground attacks. My first ever Pokemon was a Charmander.
Traditionally is the hardest starter as it’s neutral to the first gym and disadvantaged at the second.
Evolves into a big turtle with a water cannon on its back. Final form is not a dual type.
The mid ground between Bulba and Char in terms of traditional difficulity. Good for smiting Geodudes in tunnels.
Screw planning, pick favourites!
Also an FYI, starters have an 87.5% of being male, my theory is it’s because of breeding in this. The baby is the same species as the mother, except in the case of dittos. It makes it harder to trade starters around early as you can’t get ditto til quite late in Gold/Silver, Diamond/Pearl and Ruby/Sapphire. Most Pokemon that you want to breed (such as Eevee) have a high male ratio.
Also think of (and suggest) of names for things, coming up: Geodudes, Digletts, (God Damn) Zubats, Pidgey, Bellsprout, Paras, Clefairy and if we’re lucky, Vulpix
Thoughts, comments, questions?
(Yeah the images aren’t great quality, I’ll make them nicer next time)
(Word is doing weird things to my spacing >_>)
(Image size, you want small (like the disclaimer) or double (like the other images)
or
(Naming: Names ALLCAPS or Normal? We need a convention!)
(Think this is a horrid idea?)
Well here goes.... *post*
