Summary and Plot:
Welcome to the Shinju Region! You are one of our foreign exchange students, and you'll be exploring the region at your own leisure - find as many Pokemon as you like, train to be the very best, or take on the Gym Challenge and the Elite Four! The Shinju Region is a vast and expansive region with lots of biodiversity, which has a much higher rate of the elusive shiny pokemon (1/128) plus you can meet and make friends with other exchange students throughout the region.

Team Sunset:
Meanwhile, the mysterious Team Sunset is attempting to make a good public image... while some members are unintentionally giving them a bad look. They intend to be heroes... no matter what the cost. Little is known about them, though the leader of the team goes by the name Orion, and has made numerous public and even televised appearances, touting his team as a place to help the "bad eggs" of society to reform and be productive members of society. Though many say they've seen members doing strange things that contradict these claims.

Pokemon Shinju Adventures V1.9


Due to changes in PokeUpdater, the new version of the updating software SHOULD be updated. Please download the software here and place it into the root of your Shinju install, overwriting if prompted.

Fixed a coding error that caused Giovanni in the Getaway Game Corner to crash the game due to the trainer being improperly set.
Fixed a coding error that caused the Faith Rival fight after Gym 2 to repeat if you do not use the same trigger spot.
Fixed a coding error that caused Team Sunset Grunts in the Dewpoint Broadcast Station to not disappear after defeating Orion.
Added text to various trash cans confirming the player looked inside, and they were in fact empty.
Added text to the shrine of Hallowcurse City. Your prayers will go unanswered, for now at least.
Added clear paths on Getaway Island (and moved the fountain slightly - be careful when updating as it moved.)
Replaced the Hi-Speed Speedboats in Blindheart and Getaway Harbors with the proper cruise ships.

If you downloaded Shinju Adventures starting from V2.0/2.1 you will not have the updater files, you'll need to download them from below. Then, unzip the zip file, drag and drop the folder called "poke_updater" into the root of Shinju's folder, and run the poke_updater.exe found inside. Sorry about the confusion!
