Announcement Regarding the Use of Location-Based Evolutions in Zones:
The Cloud Garden is working towards adding several different evolution locations to its areas. First up: The Mossy Rock is now available in the Cloud Forest area. If you are looking for other types of evolution locations, fear not. They will be added to the CG in time. If you are looking to evolve your Pokemon at a specific area, please notify your updater. I won't speak for the other zones of FB, but there will be plenty of opportunities to evolve your Pokemon in the future, even outside of the Cloud Garden. Stay tuned for details.

Cloud Garden Double Post! Oh No!
I have clarified/refined two of the rules in the first post regarding active teams and healing Pokemon. Here are the changes: 2. Up to 6 Pokemon may be designated as the active party on one’s individual team. Pokemon on the updatee’s active team may be revealed at their own discretion. Pokemon may be switched out at a PC in any Rangers’ Cabin. If 6 Pokemon have already been revealed in an adventure and a new capture is made, updatees will be allowed to select which Pokemon will be sent to the box. 7. Several rangers’ cabins are located throughout various Cloud Garden areas. Adventurers may elect to stay the night in these cabins, heal injured Pokemon, and switch Pokemon in their active party from a PC. Please notify your ZU of your intentions before doing so. Essentially this shouldn't effect anyone's adventures at all. It also goes without saying that Pokemon used in the Cloud Garden are allowed to be used in any other zone and shop at any given time, this rule exists solely for the Cloud Garden. The Cloud Garden is a large zone designed with the intention for adventurers to travel across the many areas. The Ranger Cabins located in the Galea Plains, Makini Sanctuary, and Moonfall Plateau exist to allow travelers to rest their Pokemon and prepare for the adventures ahead!

Attention Cloud Garden adventurers! We will be holding the first ever Cloud Garden based event! If you are adventuring in the Cloud Garden, you are welcome (and encouraged) to join in!
Here is some important information regarding the event: • This event is only open to those who are adventuring in the Cloud Garden. If you are not currently in two of the other main RP Zones and wish to join, you may start your adventure in the Cloud Garden before event registration is over. • This event will not interrupt any progress you have presently going on in your regular Cloud Garden adventures. You are free to continue your regular zone replies alongside the event while the event is going on. • Up to four Pokemon may be used in this event. They do not have to be the same Pokemon that you are presently using in your regular Cloud Garden adventure. The level and movesets of the Pokemon you bring are not important. Find out more, here: http://forums.upnetwork.net/showpost...4&postcount=89 |

Move Reminder is now available at The Move Tutor! Your Pokemon can now learn a move it will learn later by leveling up for the same price as a natural move. Please cite the move you are trying to learn when making your payment by linking to Serebii's Pokedex page for your Pokemon. |

So, I realize this is ZA/SO and not necessarily moderator news, but I figure this is the best place to post this:
During the election process, I mentioned that my term would have to be short-term, as life circumstances could draw me away from moderation duties in the future. Unfortunately, said circumstances are drawing me away sooner than anticipated - my partner and I have made the decision to purchase our first home. This will take a lot of time away from FB, and it will only get worse from here, as I anticipate this is the beginning of a chain of life-altering events. For this reason, among recognition that the current pace of FB is unfortunately beyond what I can handle even at my current schedule, I will be retiring from my position of moderator as of December 31st, 2017. In that time, I would like to identify, work with and ultimately replace myself with a successor (or successors), so that my absence will not be felt by the community. I will do my best to put in as much work as I can in the interim - we will work through the process in the coming weeks for narrowing down candidates. For now, if all interested parties could provide me a PM explaining their interest and their reasons for wanting the position, we can go from there. |

News from Birthday Bubbles Bash Venue!
It isn't big news or anything, but it's still worth mentioning: As per the changes related to the use of gummis (via the defunct IQ system and introduction of the Bond system), Birthday Gummis now gives 3 Bond points~ |

Breeding: Now Easier With Friends Doctor Grossman has some great news! Through re-negotiations with our government funding, the Hatchery will no longer be adding to your personal tally for maximum breedings per year if your Pokemon breeds with a Pokemon owned by another trainer and you choose to let the owner of the breeding partner keep the hatchling! Do note that this will still count towards the maximum number of breedings allowed for that Pokemon, however, as we must keep safety for your team a top concern. Recent records have been revised to reflect this change. |

Good morning/day/evening, Fizzby -
Today I wanted to announce a bit of a transition in The Black Bayou. I will be taking over as ZA for the zone effective immediately. I hope you'll have me, and I look forward to making this a fun experience for all. Tate's updatees: We are bringing in a new updater to the zone (to be confirmed here shortly), and they will be taking on your adventures with direction and guidance from Tate to ensure as smooth a transition as possible. Thank you |

Special Announcement
Two new areas have recently opened to the public in Le Marecage Noir! Les Catacombes de la Sombre Ruine - The Catacombs of the Dark Ruination The Catacombs are a vast and ancient network of man-made tunnels and caverns that span a large portion of the Black Bayou’s underground. Long ago, this large, dark labyrinth was used as a final resting place for both people and Pokemon alike, their skulls and bones lining the walls and ceilings of this dreary maze of darkness. Today, a small section of the catacombs under The City of Jesters and Thieves has been turned into a tourist attraction, but a recent discovery has found that at least over 95% of this subterranean labyrinth has been untouched by human hands for hundreds of years. Aside from rumors of gateways to other realms, a recently discovered apocalyptic prophecy, and the Ground and Ghost-type Pokemon that now call this nexus of tombs home, what lies down here is a mystery literally shrouded in darkness. It would be wise to bring a Pokemon who can be a source of light… Château du Roi Fou - Castle of the Mad King Legends say that over a thousand years ago, Le Marécage Noir was a very different place - a vibrant land ruled by a gracious King from his extraordinary castle in the valleys to the north of the region. One dark day, the King suddenly became consumed with insatiable greed and gluttony, his subsequent self-destruction being the catalyst of a great calamity that changed the course of Fizzby history. Now just a memory of an era long forgotten, the Castle of the Mad King has weathered the tests of time, offering sanctuary to Steel and some Dragon-type Pokemon - the latter of which they say are rarer, but are drawn to the Mad King's energy that still lingers to this day... Thank you! Last edited by deoxys; 08-14-2017 at 06:56 PM. |

Cloud Garden News With the completion of the Cloud Garden’s first event, I’m pleased to announce a few changes and additions that have been implemented to the zone: • Maps and Sprites: It will be a slow and ongoing project because I am doing this on my spare time, but I have begun making maps of various areas of the Cloud Garden! I would like to start by sharing the following areas:• Trial Changes: 1. There is a new addition to the CG trials! You may now challenge Primrose Nightingale, heiress of the Rose Garden for a brand new challenge.• Oran Orchard Changes: 1. In addition to Berries, Apricorns are now added as possible rewards for completing quests in the Oran Orchard.• Zone Move Tutors: In order to assist in maneuvering the rough terrain of the Cloud Garden as well as helping strategize for the Cloud Garden trial challenges, the Trial Captains now offer a Move Tutor service for older HM moves. Each training session lasts for a couple of updates and one Pokemon may train at a time. Ask your local trial captain for more information! Here are the following moves that are now implemented. More options may be added in the near future:I hope you enjoy, and stay tuned for the next Cloud Garden event coming soon! For more information, please check out the Cloud Garden's Glossary Last edited by Sandaa; 10-03-2017 at 10:24 PM. |

✿~Mew ŕ la Mode Boutique Newsletter~✿ Have you recently had your Pokémon to wear a special costume for a job, and loved it so much you wish you could keep it? Maybe you helped out a groomer that would love to pay you back by showing their work on your Furfrou? Perhaps an artist wants to make your Pokédex his next masterpiece? Or you actually went through a grueling adventure that literally left a mark on your Pokémon? Ben j'ai des bonnes nouvelles pour toé! As of now, zones are able to give any Boutique-related services and items as a reward! Here's the added rules related to this:
Happy adventuring! Be careful out there though! ~ Mélina Loiseau Last edited by OkikuMew; 10-22-2017 at 01:39 PM. |
