Since the TCG has now successfully moved to BMG, any ideas on when the Neo Destiny set will be released? That's one set I'm pretty excited for. Thanks for all the work you've done so far!

It's ready to go and will be released at Easter.

The Dream World states to refer to the Egg House's rarity schedule for rare/common Pokemon but I can't find it on any of the 3 Egg House front pages. Can someone point me in the right direction please

It's in the new Egg House on BMGf, which will go live once the Friend Safari finishes.

Been a while since the last update on the Friend Safari, is there anything to happen there soon? We know Arc is done with her group, and it looks like Tess is mostly done with hers other than Talon and maybe one or two other people that haven't replied to updates yet, so it's mostly about Stark who we last heard threw out his back and couldn't update. Any news on that?

Is there any plans to make any items that teach FB Custom Moves a bit more accessible? Some of them, like Thorns, Fatal Attraction, and Unfinished Symphony, haven't seen the light of day in years to my knowledge. Anything like, making them available in the CfP or Pokémart, maybe even available in zones, or something like that? I've actually had a suggestion in mind, I dunno why I never brought it up- maybe Custom Moves could be made teachable in the Calendar to Pokémon that aren't compatible with TMs and/or Egg/MT moves

They're available in the new Staff Prize Shop.

I believe they were available in the old one as well, weren't they? Which is kinda what I'm getting at- I'm talking making them more accessible for non-staff members, I apologize if I wasn't clear on this. I'm not saying they should be easy for non-staff members to get outside of events, of course, just possible. Maybe make them available in the Pokémart at prices that would require a fair amount of RPing to be able to afford, or available as rewards in zones (if they're not already available as such, though I've never heard of them being findable in zones).
Also, any feedback on the idea I brought up about making them available in the Calendar for Pokémon that otherwise wouldn't be able to learn TM and/or MT/Egg moves? Basically, this is what I'm thinking...

I can see where you're coming from with the calendar but at this time we have no plans to extend custom moves beyond the staff forum.

I know I've been bottling this up for a long time, and judging from the timeout thread a couple weeks ago others have too. I think it's time the staff reopened the registration.
Fizzy Bubbles needs new members badly! We keep losing members but the people wanting to join to fill their place are locked out. I know staff has said it will happen sometime after the Friend Safari, but is that really realistic? It's almost been a year since it started and it still isn't finished! Besides, you can still keep the safari open for people who aren't finished :/ Another thing, where is Gen VI? I know, I know after the Friend Safari, but like I said before, that isn't a realistic goal. X and Y have been out for 18 months now, yet Gen VI Pokemon still haven't been added! It feels like all of Fizzy Bubbles is being held back by this one event! I'm not trying to be rude here, but Fizzy Bubbles needs to move on from the Friend Safari. |

I know of several people, ASBers and otherwise, who would very much like to join FB. From my limited and external perspective you guys are in danger of dying out as a bit of an irrelevance, maybe it's a good time to reevaluate priorities and let some new blood in? Personally I'd be rubbish at FB but more is usually merrier

I'm with ES here. It feels like everything is hinging on the Friend Safari coming to a close, and we're now coming on a full year since it was started, not to mention Stark's been missing for over a month now (and the majority of the people left in the Friend Safari are his updatees). I'm all for registration being reopened and Generation VI being fully implemented now, and the Friend Safari still in place so that the few people still in there can still get their catches.

We only discussed this a few days ago and decided that we're opening the BMG registration first and shortly. We were just deciding about the registration test as it's a bit out-dated. So keep your eyes open, you should see some movement soon. I believe our priorities are exactly where they should be and we do hope to re-fill FB's member base back up with excited new members. I do worry however that the lack of updaters will be off putting. If anyone is interested please contact either Tess of myself. I am still waiting on responses to PM's sent a while ago on this subject, we would love new updaters to join the ranks of the hard working ones we already have.
With regards to the Friend Safari, Tess has taken over Stark's group and is working on updates presently in between her busy schedule. We're quite worried to have not heard from Stark and hope he is well but we are continuing on without him. Most of the Gen 6 changes have been implemented already, I think its only the Egg House left. I'll discuss it with Tess and Arn about implementing the changes before the end of the FS (which is hopefully not far away now). Thank you for being patient, its not always easy to get things moving quickly but we are trying. I've been a little distracted by my application for a seconded university place to further my career and probably will be if I'm shortlisted for interview but I do try to be active. |

If Stark's injured his back that might explain the lengthy absence. A back injury from a fall would put someone out of commission for a good couple of months...
Great to see we're tossing some Ho-oh feathers onto FB. |

Are there any plans to make Rare Candies purchaseable with Pokédollars? I get why this was never the case back when the Pokémart accepted coins, but considering that Pokédollars must be earned via RPing, it's not really free levels by any stretch of the imagination.

No. With the exception of the free weekly candy they're being left more for rewards and events. They're not so rare if you can freely purchase them.

Missingno Master does bring up an interesting idea. Maybe instead of buying rare candies, you could spend Pokédollars at the Daycare for an extra level boost? (+2 levels instead of +1 for example). I suggest this because I feel leveling up a Pokemon goes very slowly. Though you can level up a Pokemon in zones, it's not nearly as reliable as the Daycare. Even with the Daycare though, a Pokemon can't get much more then 52 levels a year. That's just one Pokemon on a members team, many of which have over 25 Pokemon. I just think we need a more efficient method of leveling up.

So Iadopted a Plusle and I'm having trouble figuring out what it's moves are-as it's level 1 and stripped of all EM/Tutor moves, would it be considered to know all of the moves Veekun lists for it as innate (learned at level -), or only some of them?

You should use the Serebiidex or the Pokedex of Bulbapedia.

Enquiries:
Suggestions: I’ve only come back a short while but from what I’ve seen FB is clearly short of active members, particularly RPing members. Registration has been closed for a while now except at BMG. This is understandable given everyone has lives and cannot be expected to update newbies to the detriment of their other commitments, but if they're being deterred because the updating load is that high for them, therein lies the problem. We have an updater shortage, because we have a member shortage, because we have an updater shortage… So here is my proposal. Changes:
I’ve written this up with the Arcane Realm in mind (as this was what I went through when I was a newbie) but this could be easily applied to any zone. The benefits I can see are:
*I’m aware that in many cases (Tess, Arc) the updater is also the mod. Cons:
This is just a passing idea of mine, and I may be critically uninformed of recent dialogue concerning registration, so I’d be interested to hear of any glaring flaws in this plan. Last edited by atlantis_kid99; 01-08-2016 at 06:08 PM. |

Enquiry #1. You can give candies at any time. Just link to the Candy Store.
TM's can be used anywhere, but the Training Center is available to ensure there's a record. It doesn't count as a weekly drop off either, so Pokémon in zones (and other shops) can learn a TM at the Training Center. |

1: Yes. Candies and TMs can be used on Pokémon without needing to drop them off at any shop. The Candy Store doesn't take dropoffs in the first place, and the Training Center only takes dropoffs for the teaching of HM moves. Moreover, the Training Center isn't even mandatory for teaching TMs (except in the case of using non-TM items to teach Pokémon moves they can't normally learn, like using a Lapras Plushie to teach Ice Beam to a Weedle). It's just an added option for our convenience in terms of keeping records, but we're allowed to use TMs on Pokémon basically anywhere in FB. Hell, I once used a TM on a Pokémon within a zone. 2: I gotta double-check this one, but I think they are allowed to be used in Trainer battles, yes. At least, I've never seemed to have any problem when I used my Meowth in a short-lived tournament, while also having him out in almost every zone I'm currently in. 3: They're only available in zones. The idea is to make more of an incentive to RP. 4: I'm not sure on this one. For some reason I'm thinking "two weeks", but that doesn't sound quite right to me. 5: I believe you gotta PM one of the mods for some sort of test. As for your proposal, as far as I can see, it looks pretty good. At the very least, I think we can all agree that all three registration threads should be reopened- FB is in serious need of some new blood, that much is certain. And I definitely agree with the notion of letting newcomers pick their own homeboard- as it is right now, registration is only open at BMG, which is looking by far to be the least popular option for a homeboard, and I think that's hurting things- most of the people registering on BMG currently have made BMG accounts solely for that purpose. Given the choice, I'm willing to bet most, if not all of them, would have signed up on Serebii or UPN instead. The thing is, by forcing people to be BMG homeboarders instead of signing up on the homeboard of their choice, I think that we're actually deterring a lot of potential FBers. Some people might want to be a part of FB but have nothing to do with BMG- it's not entirely out of the question, considering Talon has some sort of aversion to signing up on Serebii. And the BMG portion of FB is as dead as a Klang whose minigear didn't come back, so that can't exactly look good to any of BMG's regulars. The last time we got a good amount of BMG homeboarders was only because of a promotion Tess did, giving away a limited number of Starter Eggs to new BMG homeboarders, and of the new homeboarders we got from that, only EBE and sbd are still active. My point being, we definitely need more than just BMG's registration open if we want new members in FB. Anyway, though, I personally think you have a good idea here. |

2) Yes they can enter trainer battles but NOT if they're in a shop. 3) Evolutionary items are no longer available in CfP's. Members must RP for zone rewards or trade for them. 4) If you've not received an update four weeks after posting you may use the Pokémon elsewhere. However, if you've been updated but have chosen not to reply without providing any reason as to why, then the Pokémon remains locked to that adventure. 5) PM me and we'll talk ^_^. Quote:
2) This already happens provided they post correctly. 3) I like this idea. 4) Updaters already have this option. 5) Again, I like this idea. I'm not arguing your points as far as the benefits of keeping registration open goes, you've raised nothing I've not said before. Last time we had them all open things were running nicely. At the moment I do have a few projects on the backburner that keep being shelved as other developments arise, but as soon as they are out of the way I'll look at incorporating a couple of your suggestions into the mix when we re-open. |
