=========================================
01.0 Fizzy Bubbles
=========================================
=========================================
Q: What is Fizzy Bubbles?
A: It is an addictive soft drink.... ^_^ j/k Actually, it's a Forum Text Based Pokémon RPG. Trainers can raise Pokemon, go on adventures, and try to become a Pokémon Master. Events and situations are created in individual zones and shops. Each zone is unique in terms of what Pokémon can be found and what adventures will take place. Zones are run by Zone Owners who decide your fate.

Q: Is this like Pokémon Crater or something?
A: No, this is nothing like Crater. At Pokemon Crater all you do is click away with the mouse, in Fizzy Bubbles you type. This is an RPG and you will need a relatively good imagination in order to get the most out of it. You will have your own adventure in each of the zones ranging from your basic wandering along, see Pokémon, battle Pokémon, KO/capture Pokémon to a major story line where you can be rewarded with items. The better your reply to an update, the better your adventure. Updators appreciate good role-playing and will reward you accordingly if they are impressed with the effort you put in. So basically, crappy reply = crappy update. If you're not willing to put in the effort, neither are we because we've all found through experience that its disheartening to put in a lot of effort only to be met with shabby replies.

Q: What is FB, UPN, SPPF, BMG?
A: FB stands for Fizzy Bubbles. UPN stands for Ultimate Pokémon Network, Fizzy Bubbles base of operations. SPPF stands for Serebi's Pokémon Place Forums, Fizzy Bubbles second base of operations. BMG is Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden, or "Bulbagarden" for short, which is our third FB branch.

Q: When is FB's birthday?
A: October 22nd

Q: If Fizzy Bubbles closes down on Serebii, and you don't have an account on the other boards, are you wiped?
A: No, you're still a member so your details will simply be transferred to one of the other two branches (UPN or BMG).

Q: Is FB its own world, or island, or what?
A: Most people think of it as a planet, with the zones being continents, but you're free to think of it as you'd like.

Q: What time zone does FB run on?
A: British time, or GMT.

Q: Where did the name Fizzy Bubbles come from?
A: It was originally a Water Type Pokémon RPG, hence the Bubbles part, and Fizzy was just added to make it more catchy.

Q: How did FB start? Who was FB's creator?
A: FB originally started at BMG back in 1998, but it wasn't what we have now. It was a Water RPG just for Water Pokémon trainers, but then gradually evolved to include more Pokémon before eventually turning into what we have now. When BMG died in 2000, FB also died. In 2002 Arnold, Morg, and UndeadBeat revived it at UPN and it's been running solidly ever since. Over the next few years FB's management changed and in 2004 we branched out to Serebii before branching out again to Bulbagarden in 2005. It was originally started by Golden Lugia, and Arnold is now the only original FB member still actively taking part in today's version of the RPG.

Q: What's the Bar's purpose?
A: Only for RPing. Not for Chat.

Q: I've been gone for FB for a while, where's my registration post?
A: It was put into storage, PM a mod and they'll move it out for you.

Q: Does FB have a mascot?
A: Milotic.

Q: How does FB come to another forum?
A: Usually, FB's management will know the site Admin of another forum (Serebii's Yami Ron and Bulbagarden's Archaic were known by us before we branched over to those two forums). If the site admin suggests opening a branch on their board and we feel we are able to extend without any trouble, then FB's Mods will make the decision as to whether or not the move will take place.



=========================================
01.1 Joining the RPG
=========================================
=========================================
Q: I'm signed up on UPN. Do I have to re sign up on Serebii and Bulbagarden or is it like the same thing at all three places? What I'm asking is, Are the other two a new fizzy bubbles or an expansion from UPN?
A: Serebii and Bulbagarden are extensions of the UPN branch, they are not a separate entities. All three branches of FB are linked and so run consecutively meaning you don't need to redo the registration test when signing up to the other two.

Q: I've been considering joining UPN's FB, but I see no Fizzy Bubbles area. (Asked at Serebii)
A: You can only see the FB Forums after registering as a UPN member.

Q: Say a certain person wanted to use one of the "forbidden" starting Pokémon. Would there be any way for this person to use it if we were to write a detailed back story or something?
A: No, sorry. You'll eventually get what you're looking for if you try hard enough but Rare and Super Rare Pokémon are classified as such for a reason. They're not meant to be easy to get a hold of. Legendary Pokémon are totally out of the question though. They will never be available to own.

Q: Can I name my Pokémon? Also what if I want to change their names?
A: Yes, you can name them. You can also change their nicknames whenever you like.

Q: In Serebii's Pokedex it says that my Pokemon starts with Quick Attack in FL and Tackle in RS. Which one does it actually start with in FB?
A: We always go by up to date moves. This means the newest games. As of now, that means the Diamond and Pearls moveset.

Q: Where do I keep a record of my progress?
A: You edit your Registration Post in the Registration Thread to keep a record of your Pokémon and items as you collect them.

Q: What is a home board?
A: A Home Board is the FB base of operations you signed up with, either UPN, SPPF, or BMG, and determines posting restrictions. Please read the rules for more information.

Q: Can you change home boards?
A: Not unless a mod makes an announcement allowing them.

Q: What do I get when I start out?
A: A Starter Pack containing a Backpack, Pokédex, Berry Bag, Pokéblock Case, Rare Candy and Coin Case.

Q: What do I do with the special Pokéball I got at registration?
A: Use it to catch Pokemon xfd. You also have the option of trading it for some other things at Cable Club, or cashing it in at the Coin Exchange. We do not recommend eating it.

Q: You don't have to have anything to do with UPN and you can just register and do everything from SPPF?
A: Correct, though with UPN being FB's base of operation it does provide extra facilities that the Serebii and Bulbagarden branches don't.

Q: When you get the test sent to you, how many answers do you need to have correct?
A: All of them.

Q: A mod hasn't replied to my RP test. How long does it take?
A: Just be patient, they'll be looked over eventually.



=========================================
01.2 Starting your Adventure: Zones!
=========================================
=========================================
Q: How do I start catching Pokémon? Do I..type..I RAN INTO A PIKACHU! or what?
A: Your updater will do that for you. Just remember that it is also their choice in regard to which Pokémon you encounter because each zone has specific types available. Please do not post saying what Pokémon you want to find because it won't happen. Part of the FB experience is the adventure itself, the Pokémon you come across and the battles/hardships you will face.

Q: I can't find the Pokémon I want. I keep hinting to the Zone Owner I want it, but it never shows up!
A: Stop whining. A Zone Owner is not there to fulfill your every wish and dream, only to make an adventure for you. If you really want to find something, be patient and make sure you're looking in the right places. Chances are you're not finding it because you keep hinting so perhaps if you stop you might get lucky.

Q: I just caught a Pokémon and it used an attack before it doesn't know at it's current level. Does my Pokémon know the attack?
A: Your Pokémon will only know attacks it would have at it's capture level. Sometimes in a fit of blind rage a wild Pokémon will use an attack it wouldn't currently know while battling. Shortly after it calms down the Pokémon in unaware of the attack it used. This includes TM, MT, and Egg Moves. Another possibility is that if you used a high leveled Pokémon to attack a low leveled Pokémon then your updator will have upped the Pokémon's level for the purpose of the storyline but then brought it down again for the capture. This is quite a common practice in zones as it's unfair to use a Lv.69 Arcanine against a Lv.3 Bellsprout.

Q: Could I leave a certain zone to join another?
A: You can be in multiple zones at the same time. You can be in Cloud Garden, Water Zone, The Mansion and Volcanic Mountain. Each adventure is separate and has nothing to do with your adventures in the other zones. However for example, if you are in Serebii's Cloud Garden you CANNOT be in UPN's Cloud Garden. You can only enter one of them because they are identical zones just different forums.

Q: What happens if my all Pokemon are KOed in a Zone?
A: The updater will tell you that you fainted and need to stay out for some updates. This usually doesn't happen.

Q: My Pokemon KOed another Pokemon. Why didn't it level up?
A: It's the updater's decision whether or not your Pokemon deserved a level up. Their rule is final. If you feel something happened that was truly unjust, PM a Moderator and we'll talk to them about it.

Q: How come some things are available at UPNetwork and not at Serebii or vice-versa?
A: Sometimes it's a matter of each branch having exclusive items, etc, but mostly it's because UPN is FB's base of operation and offers more than the other branches.

Q: Can we catch Legendary Pokemon?
A: No. Legends can be seen, battled with, befriended by, but never captured. Not even a Legendary Masterball can catch these beasts of myth.

Q: If a wild Pokémon is KO'd, can you throw a ball? If so, will you still get Exp.?
A: You can throw a Pokéball at a KO'd Pokémon, yes. As far as experience goes, if you capture the Pokémon before the KO you don't get any levels for the battle. If the Pokémon is KO'd it's your updater's decision as to whether or not your Pokémon deserves a level for the KO.

For example, a level 20 Squirtle KOing a level 4 Numel probably won't get any levels unless it's been a particularly hard battle due to other circumstances in play at the time, but if they're relatively evenly matched then it will definitely receive a level.

Q: How come I haven't been updated yet? What's taking so long?
A: Many of us have lives outside of FB. While we do have responsibilities, we can't always be here at a moment's notice all the time. If you were skipped in the last update, PM the updater stating you were missed.

Q: Umm, can I ask something? If so, how often the updates usually appear? ^_^;
A: It all depends on how much spare time the updater has to work on them. We do like to update at least once a week, more if possible, but a lot of the time that is impossible. You have to remember that updaters have lives as well, we don't spend all day sitting in front of the computer waiting for replies to come in. Many of us have work and/or school and are often tired by the end of the day and can't always get them up as often as we would like to be able to.

And another thing everyone has to keep in mind. Please don't be questioning updaters in the zones or via PM about when we will be updating. This has happened before and it's extremely annoying. We know we have to do them and we are often harder on ourselves that you are so don't be nagging for updates unless there's a very good reason for it (like the zone hasn't been updated in a month), or there's a very distinct possibility that you will be skipped completely in the next set.

Q: I have my Squirtle being used in all the zones, so can I put it in a shop?
A: Zone Pokémon cannot be used in shops. However, if you insist on putting it into a shop then you cannot reply to any updates you may receive using that Pokémon until it has been picked up.

Q: If I attach a Macho Brace to my Pokemon, will it level up faster?
A: No. It's just for looks, like many items.

Q: Do power-up items have any real affect in battle?
A: Not really, but they are basically used to make a Pokémon more "complete."

Q: If I have my Pokemon in a Serebii shop, can I use them in a UPN zone?
A: Pokémon cannot be used in Shops and Zones at the same time, this is clearly stated in the Rules. Which board you are posting on is irrelevant. All FB Shops and all FB Zones are the same. If your Pokémon is in any Shop, it cannot be used in any FB Zone. Duh. :P

Q: Are there Pokecenters in the zones?
A: Yes, there a few scattered around.

Q: How do one hit KO moves work in FB?
A: It's up to the updator - some may use an accuracy system, while some may just have it do extreme damage instead of KO.

Q: How do attacks look?
A: Most updators use the anime descriptions of the attacks, though some may go with the games. Personal preference.

Q: How would you go about leaving a zone?
A: RP your departure, or if it's a sudden decision to leave then PM your updator informing them of your decision.

Q: If your Pokemon is stolen in a zone, can you use it in other places?
A: Yes.

Q: What if you no longer have a Pokemon that was stolen in a zone?
A: Ask your updator about it.

Q: Can you travel with another person if you're in different update groups?
A: No, you both need to be in the same group. However, people can see other people as long as it's in both updates, and not just one person's.

Q: How can I tell which type of Pokemon I'll encounter here?
A: Just use sense considering the area type. A volcano would yield fire types.

Q: Can an updator make a move fail if the Pokemon is incapable of such a technique?
A: Yes.

Q: How many Pokemon can be on each side in a battle?
A: As many as the updator can handle.



=========================================
01.3 Misc. Trainer Questions
=========================================
=========================================
Q: If I have an account on Serebii and UPN, and I get something I want there, and want it here, can I trade over.
A: You do not have two accounts. Serebii and UPN Fizzy Bubbles are one in the same just on different forums. Anything Pokémon, Items, or etc you obtain on one forum you will automatically have on the other.

Q: How can I own a zone?
A: Whenever we feel a Zone is needed, we will make an announcement about it. If you think you have a very good idea, PM the Mods about it.

NOTE: After things become open to the public, we will see which individuals we (the Mods) feel are good Role Players and see if they are good at also being a Zone Owner. So if you really want a zone, be sure to impress us.

Q: Can I catch an evolved pokemon with an Ultra Ball?
A: Nope. It only makes catching unevolved or rarer Pokémon slightly easier.

Q: I have 6 Pokemon on my team and 3 Pokemon in my PC, but I still want more Pokemon! What do I do?
A: Don't be greedy. If you must, ask a friend to hold it.

Q: If a wild pokémon is KO, can you throw a ball? If so, will you still get Exp.?
A: You can throw a Pokéball at a KO'd Pokémon, yes. As far as experience goes, if you capture the Pokémon before the KO you don't get any levels for the battle. If the Pokémon is KO'd it's your updater's decision as to whether or not your Pokémon deserves a level for the KO.

Q: Where can I get TMs?
A: TMs are available for purchase in Coins for Prizes. Others are won during special events in Zones, but that is rare. You can also win them in the Arcade and Casino, or via trading in the Cable Club.

Q: Can you use Rare Candy on Pokemon in shops (i.e. Daycare)?
A: Yes, however you can only use Rare Candy in Daycare on a Monday when Dropping off/Picking up your Pokémon. Make sure to post in the Bank linking your post when using Rare Candy.

Q: Do you have to evolve your Pokémon? Does the updater evolve them when it is time? How does it happen?
A: Updaters won't evolve your Pokémon. If it is capable of evolving or you want it to evolve at a certain level it is your choice. They don't have to evolve at all if that is what you want. What most trainers do is they will add it to a reply of an update after that Pokémon has just finished a battle and leveled up. Or if you boost it up with Rare Candy to have it evolve.

Q: Can a Pokémon be raised past level 100?
A: They could, but there really isn't any need for it. Many members already have level 100 Pokémon but we don't go beyond it.

Q: How do you use TMs? Do you RP teaching your pokemon a move, or something else?
A: You can RP in a post or post in a shop or where you got the TM saying you are using it, but the preferable choice is to post in the Training Centre.

Q: Since any Pokemon can learn any TM, how can a Chikorita use Steel Wing, or a Caterpie learn Fire Punch or other stuff like that?
A: You don't have to teach your Pokemon strange attacks. I personally try and stick to the attacks my Pokemon can learn. However certain TMs don't exist in the newer games. For example if a Skitty can learn Water Pulse in RS/E/F/L why couldn't it learn Bubblebeam? Use your judgment, it's up to you if you want your Pokemon to be a freak. Besides, updators will just make an attack fail if you teach something unreasonable to your Pokémon which in the end is a waste of a TM.

Q. What can my Ditto Transform into?
A: Your Ditto can only transform into a Pokémon it is battling or one on your squad so long as it is active (ie, a part of the update/battle). Also in certain situations such as a double/multiple battle Ditto can transform into an ally Pokémon that is fighting along side of it. Ditto can only use attacks that the Pokémon it transformed into would know at Ditto's current level.

Q: Questions about Sketch:
1. Is their a limited amount of moves you can Sketch?
A: Yes, Smearlge learns Sketch 10 times before hitting level 100.
2. Can you relearn Sketch via Move Tutor?
A: No you cannot relearn Sketch from the Tutor.
3. Can you Sketch a teammate's move? (ie; In a double battle, in a campaign)
A: No. It has to be attacked in order to learn the move, and a teammate isn't going to attack their ally.
4. If Sketch fails in a battle, can you still use it in that battle?
A: No, it is up to the updater if the move fails. Your Sketching could interfere with the story. If it fails you won't be able to copy that move or any move in that particular battle. In other words, you can only attempt using it once per battle.

Q: If you have a Nincada and you let it evolve into Ninjask and get the extra Shedinja, does the Shedinja knows the TM/EM/MT moves taught to it as a Nincada?
A: Yes, it does.

Q: Do pokemon have natures in Fizzy Bubbles?
A: Yes, but once you've decided on a nature and posted in the PokeSpa, you MAY NOT change the nature of your Pokémon.

Q: Does an ability like Pick Up, Oblivious or Insomnia work in FB?
A: Pick Up doesn't, but Wonder Guard and Forecast work in the zones and all abilities are in effect in Gym Battles. It is up to the updator whether or not the other abilities will work in zones.

Q: Can you change the nicknames of your pokemon?
A: Yes.

Q: Can a Pokemon overdose on medicine?
A: Yes. If an updator feels that you are abusing medicine, they may have the Pokemon get sick.

Q: Can you make one of your Pokemon allergic to medicine or something else (plants, food, etc.)?
A: Yes.

Q: If I'm gone, can I ask another person to look after my account and use candies on Pokemon or adopt Pokemon?
A: Yes, but make sure to leave SPECIFIC instructions as to what you want done and they can only look after your account for a maximum of four weeks before you are considered inactive. You must also PM the Mods or Shops owners of your Home Board so they are aware of your absence.

Q: What if my Serebii account is deleted due to inactivity?
A: Simply make a new account with the same name and inform the Mods so they can sort it out for you.

Q: Are Pokemon in shops still on your squad?
A: Yes, it's stated in the shops rules. Read them.

Q: Can we change our trainer's name?
A: If you wish, but not too often in order to not confuse your updator.

Q: Can we recolor our Pokemon? If so, to what extent?
A: Read the Pokémon Boutique for details.

Q: How could one obtain a Missingno.?
A: Unless you are Kuno, the webmaster of UPN, you can't. Plus Missingno. is not a Pokémon, it's a game glitch so don't get your hopes up of obtaining one via the Egg House, trade with Kuno, or any other way. It won't happen. Ever. Do not even try. You're wasting your time.

Q: Do Pokeblocks exist in FB?
A: Yes, see the shops involving them for more details.

Q: How do you become an updator?
A: Apply for the position through the channels mentioned when a ZO advertises in the Assistant Application Centre.

Q: If you capture a Pokemon and trade it away, does it count as a capture still?
A: Yes.

Q: All of my Pokemon are being used in shops, what should I do if I get updated?
A: Wait until they're out to reply.

Q: What happens if I order my Shedinja to use Curse?
A: It will faint.

Q: Where can I get TM's?
A: Coins for Prizes, Casino, Cable Club, Arcade, other giveaways.

Q: Can I take a TM back from a Pokemon and teach it to another?
A: No.

Q: To what extent can we customize our Pokemon, apart from color? Can we add clothes, etc.?
A: Yes, but if you give your Pokemon a weapon or something, it can only be used for show, not in battle. See the Pokémon Boutique for more information.

Q: If I have a Mantine, can I have a Remoraid on its wing for comic relief, but not have an effect on battle?
A: Sadly, that would be too hard to monitor and such...So no, sorry.

Q: Can we make a Pokemon forget a move?
A: ...If you'd really like to. Sorta waste of a move, though.

Q: Must I use the items I received for holidays (Magical Dragonair Plushie, Easter chocolate items, etc.) immediately?
A: It's preferred that you would, but you don't have to unless otherwise stated. Make sure you save the links.

Q: Unown Questions-
-Is Unown a legendary?

A: No.
-How is Unown's Letter/Hidden Power decided?
A: The updator or Egg House Owner uses an RNG.

Q: Can any move become a TM?
A: No.

Q: Is Kangaskhan's baby considered a Pokemon for RPing purposes?
A: No, only the mother may be used in battle and such.

Q: Will Pay Day result in any after effects such as coins being added to your account?
A: You wish :p

Q: What other effects can Pokeblocks have other than gaining contest boosts?
A: None, you can't use them to attract wild Pokemon or anything.

Q: Can you change a Pokemon's gender?
A: No, it's not allowed.

Q: Can a Pokemon control what Nightmares it gives an opponent?
A: It's really up to the updator, some will allow it and others will not.



=========================================
01.4 Pokémon Evolution
=========================================
=========================================
Q: How do I evolve non-level or non-stone related Pokemon?
i.e. Feebas ~> Milotic.

A: There is a Beauty Shop for Beauty and Happiness related evolutions. For trade evolutions, there is a Cable Club for trading.

Q: My Pokemon evolves into different things. Which one does it evolve into?
A: You decide which evolution path you want it to go in.
I.E. Eevee becomes Umbreon or Espeon you decide which evolution you want.

Q: Will Slowpoke evolve if a Shellder bites its head/tail?
A: No.

Q: The evolved form of my Pokemon learns Water Gun at Lv.15, but it doesn't evolve until Lv.16. What happens?
A: You must use the Move Relearner in the Move Tutor.

Q: The evolved form of my Pokemon doesn't know a move my current one does. If I evolve it, will it still know it?
A: Yes.

Q: If I evolve my Nincada, will I get a Shedinja?
A: You must have a spare spot on your team and at least one spare Pokeball when Nincada reaches level 20.

Q: What? I heard that you could evolve your Pokemon whenever you wanted!
A: Uh...No, you can't. o0;

Q: Can we evolve a Pokemon in the middle of the level?
A: As long as it's at the required level for evolution.

Q: Can you de-evolve Pokemon?
A: No.



=========================================
01.5 Pokéballs
=========================================
=========================================
Q: I heard about Master Balls. How can I get one?
A: You cannot obtain one through trading or anything of the like. They are only available through special events which are uncommon at best.

Q: What about other special odd balls? How can I get them?
A: Special Pokéballs are mainly given out during special events, but some are available as prizes in the Casino's Daily Pick draw.

Q: What are the specs for an Xmas Ball?
A: - Xmas Ball - A red and green Pokéball with a snowflake design also featuring a red blinking release button. A Pokémon is released from this ball in a flurry of snowflakes. Stantler, Delibird, or Snorunt will receive two Beauty Points if captured with this Pokéball. It has the same catch rate as any normal Pokéball.

Q: I got a Love Ball. Now, I'm pretty sure that it has a higher chance of catching a Pokemon of the opposite gender. How would you know that it's the opposite gender? Is it pretty much dumb luck, or what?
A: Ask your updater what the Pokémon's gender is before capture.

Q: Are we allowed to put Pokémon into different Pokéballs? Ex: I put my Pichu in a Luxury Ball to raise it's BP.
A: There was a time you could switch your Pokémon into a different Pokéball. However, it will NOT receive the effect from the ball as the effect is only applied when captured. Now, the only time a Pokémon can be transferred from one ball to another is when switching from a Regular Pokéball to a Special Pokéball.

Q: What are the specs of the Chocolate Ball?
A: A ball made of pure chocolate that never melts, that has the same catch rate as any other Pokeball.

Q: What are the specs of the Thunder and Fire Ball?
A: Thunder Ball allows easier capture of electric types, while the Fire ball allows easier capture of fire types.



=========================================
02.0 The Pokémart
=========================================
=========================================
Q: Do I need to pay for stuff in Pokemart?
A: Some items yes, others no. See the Pokémart's intro post for full details.

Q: What can I buy and cannot buy?
A: The items you can and cannot buy are listed in the first post of the shop.

Q: I understand that the Pokemart has limited items, but is the limit for all of your tenure in fizzy bubbles, or only for a certain amount of time?
A: It is the limit of how many you can pick up each week and carry at one time.

Q: Why is the Pokemart closed?
A: Monday's over in England, so candies can't be picked up. It will be reopened for normal item purchase during the week.


=========================================
02.1 The Bank
=========================================
=========================================
Q: What is the purpose of the Bank?
A: To keep track of how many rare candies everyone has to prevent cheating.

Q: How do I use the Bank?
A: Post in the bank with all candies you receive along with a link to where you have received it/them. If you are using candies you must clearly state why, and include a link to where you have used them. The only time a link is not required is when you are withdrawing candies for Pokémon level raising.

Q: What if I refuse to post in the Bank and constantly avoid posting?
A: Then you cannot use candies in any way, shape, or form in Fizzy Bubbles. There is even a strong chance you will be banned if you continually refuse to acknowledge the rules.

Q: My friend went on vacation can I collect Rare Candy for him/her?
A: Yes, but you must post for them in the Bank.

Q: Can I add my friend's Rare Candy to my Bank Account?
A: Absolutely NOT.

Q: When/if we use our Rare Candy on our Pokémon, where do we post that we've used it?
A: You can add it to the Role-playing of your posts around F.B., but you must post a link to that post in the bank. Or you can just post how you are using it in the Bank. (just say "Withdrawing 5 candies to raise Weedle from Lv. 5 to Lv. 10.")

Q: Why is the Bank closed?
A: It's being updated, and to prevent edits from accidentally being skipped, it's closed.



=========================================
03.0 Daycare
=========================================
=========================================
Q: My friend went on vacation can I drop off their Pokémon?
A: Yes

Q: If I can't make it on Monday can I still drop my Pokémon off early or later?
A: No, only on Monday. If you are having trouble making the day ask a friend to drop them off for you.

Q: When do you add Daycare levels?
A: When you pick them up on the Monday after you dropped them off.

Q: If your Pokemon were not confirmed for pickup, can you use them in other shops or zones?
A: Yes. However, if they were confirmed you may not use them at all until Monday.

Q: Can someone babysitting for you put your Pokemon in Daycare?
A: Yes, but most people prefer to raise their own Pokémon.

Q: Will two Pokemon of different genders and the same species make an egg?
A. Only if they've been dropped off in the Breeding Centre as a couple.

Q: My Pokemon levelled up in a zone during the week (I replied before I dropped it off, then was updated during the week), so how do I add levels?
A: Link to the post in Daycare.



=========================================
03.1 Double Daycare Passes
=========================================
=========================================
Q: What is a Double Daycare Pass?
A: The Double Daycare Pass entitles each of the users Pokémon to level up twice during the week it is used.

Q: How many can I use at once? Do they stack?
A: Since Double Daycare Passes need to be used the Monday immediately following their pickup, you can use as many as you have. There is no limit.

Q: How come I can trade one Daycare Pass but I can't trade this one I just got?
A: Passes are not tradeable.

Q: Is there a time limit on a Daycare Pass?
A: Passes expire the Monday following when you get them.



=========================================
04.0 The Move Tutor
=========================================
=========================================
Q: How do I teach a Pokemon Egg Moves or Move Tutor Moves?
A: The Fizzy Bubbles Move Tutor can teach your Pokemon these moves, but they come with a certain cost. Read more about it in the Move Tutor Shop.

Q: Can you use a Move Tutor pass to pay for advanced moves instead of 3 Heart Scales?
A: No.

Q: Since Pichu learns Volt Tackle as an egg move in Emerald, can I pay for that with a Rare Candy instead of three Heart Scales?
A: Yes.

Q: In FR/LG, Charizard can learn Blast Burn via the Move Tutor. Can I use Blast Burn as an MT move?
A: No.

Q: What Pokemon are compatible with the Advanced Moves?
A: Use common sense. For example, a fire type can't learn Hydro Cannon. If a Pokemon doesn't have a type that matches with any of them, use common sense, look at the moves it already knows, and if in doubt, ask a mod.

Q: When 4th generation Pokemon are added to FB, if a Pokemon no longer can get an Egg Move according to the D/P lists, what happens if you already taught the move to a Pokemon?
A: You keep it.

Q: Can I make my Pokemon learn a move that its other evolution would learn though the Move Relearner? (I have a Flareon, and I want it to learn Moonlight?)
A: No, you can't.

Q: Will our Pokemon ever be able to get XD purification moves, or giveaway moves from PCNY?
A: Possibly in the future.

Q: Is my Pokemon compatible with this advanced move?
A: Ask a mod if you're unsure.



=========================================
04.1 Move Tutor Passes
=========================================
=========================================
Q: What does a Move Tutor Pass do?
A: A Move Tutor Pass allows 1 Pokémon to receive a free EM or MT.

Q: What does a Double Move Tutor Pass do?
A: Double Move Tutor Pass
- Allows 1 Pokémon to receive two free EM and/or MT.
- You may split up the training between 2 different Pokémon.
(1 Pokémon learns 1 move & a different Pokémon learns 1 move.)

Q: How come I can trade one Tutor Pass but I can't trade this one I just got?
A: You can't trade Any Passes to anyone, be they Move Tutor or Daycare passes. If we see anyone trading them then they will be punished.

Q: Is there a time limit on Tutor Passes?
A: Passes must be used the Monday immediately following when you picked them up. No exceptions.

Q: How many can I use at once? Do they stack?
A: A Move Tutor Pass will stack twice. You can use two at once.
Since Move Tutor Passes need to be used the Monday immediately following their pickup, you can use as many as you have. There is no limit.

Q: When do I pick up a Pokemon that learned two moves via a Double Move Tutor Pass?
A: Wednesday as normal.

Q: Can I use a Double Move Tutor Pass, a Move Tutor Pass, and a candy to get my Pokemon to learn 4 moves in a week?
A: Yes.



=========================================
05.0 The Beauty Salon
=========================================
=========================================
Q: My Pokemon can evolve into multiple things. Which one will it become?
A: If the conditions are right, you choose their fate. i.e. Your Eevee has achieved max Happiness, i[]you can choose[/i] either Umbreon or Espeon. Or you can ignore the Happiness and Evolve it with a Stone into Jolteon, Flareon, or Vaporeon.

Q: I left my Pokemon in for 3 day treatment on Monday. When do I pick it up?
A: Count. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. That's the three days of work. Pick it up on Thursday.

Q: What is the difference between Happiness and Beauty Points?
A: In FB, nothing. They're both the same.

Q: How many Happiness/Beauty Points do I need before Evolution?
A: 10 Points.

Q: No one else has posted since I dropped off my Pokemon...Is it against the rules to double post?
A: No. This applies for all of the FB shops.

Q: Are the Beauty Points you receive from the Salon the same as Contest Beauty Points?
A: No, they're separate.



=========================================
06.0 Shop-of-all-Trades
=========================================
=========================================
Q: Argh! I can't figure out the riddle! What's the answer?!
A: We most likely don't know. (Except the owner, but they're not telling) Many of them are based on the Pokemon's Pokedex entry. Look there for help. Ask friends for help. Otherwise, get smarter xd.

Q: I still can't figure it out, help me!?
A: If it gets to this stage and you are still really stuck, the shop owner may let you have a new one.

Q: What Shards do I get for what Stones?
A: Fire Stone ---> Red Shard
Leaf Stone ---> Green Shard
Thunder Stone ---> Yellow Shard
Water Stone ---> Blue Shard
Moon Stone ---> Silver Shard
Sun Stone ---> Gold Shard

Q: What is a Meteorite and where can I get one?
A: Unknown at this time.

Q: Where do I get Shards?
A: Daily Pick Casino prizes, giveaways, or found in zones.

Q: How can I obtain my pokemon?
A: It has to be caught, hatched or traded. It CANNOT be adopted.

Q: In the Shop, it says that your Pokémon is sent to the Adoption Centre. Can we adopt the Pokémon we used for the shop?
A: Any Pokémon put up for adoption from the Shard Shop are available to whoever wants them, even if you are the one who handed it over. Adoption works on a first come, first served basis with the exception of requested Pokémon.

For example, Jack has requested a Houndour and somebody drops one off into the Adoption Centre. Unfortunately Jack is not online when Houndour becomes available to be adopted, then Jill comes in and sees Houndour and wants it. Can Jill adopt Houndour? Neu.... Houndour will be kept aside for Jack until he comes along to claim it but he will only one have one week to do so before Jill can claim Houndour as her own.

Q: Do we need to make room for a Pokemon going directly from the Cable Club to the Shop?
A: No, but if it's not the correct answer you'll need to do some very quick Pokemon shuffling.



=========================================
07.0 Jirachi's Casino
=========================================
=========================================
Q: I got this TM I don't like that the Casino has and these Shards I don't need. Can I trade them in for coins or possibly different items or TMs?
A: You can only trade in things that are listed in the first post of the Coin Exchange there.

Q: Can you trade Casino Coins through the Cable Club?
A: No.

Q: What is an orange Shard?
A: It's the same as a Gold Shard.



=========================================
08.0 Lanette's PC
=========================================
=========================================
Q: What is the PC used for?
A: Storing your items and non-active Pokémon.

Q: Were do you post saying you've deposited your Pokemon in the PC?
A: You can make it part of your RP and use the "Reason for Editing:" box posting a short description of what you did when you edit your PC post.

Q: It says my starter pokemon has to be Lv 50 to use the PC as well as 5 other pokemon, does that mean all the pokemon have to be Lv 50 or just my starter?
A: Just the starter can be level 50, the other 5 can be any level.

Q: Do you get a PC if you have 3 Lv. 50 Pokemon, but not 6 Lv. 25 Pokemon?
A: No.

Q: I evolved my Nincada, and got a Ninjask and a Shedinja. Do both count toward the PC, or just one of them?
A: Both.

Q: If I have 2 Level 25 Pokemon, and 3 Level 50 Pokemon, then raise a Pokemon to Level 25, will I get the PC and the upgrade at the same time?
A: Yes. Unless your starter isn't Lv 50 then you will gain no PC access.

Q: If you raise a Pokemon to Level 50, but then decide you don't want it any more, can you trade it but still keep the PC?
A: Yes unless that Pokémon is a Lv.100, then you will lose the Elite PC slot that the Pokémon unlocked.



=========================================
09.0 The Adoption Centre
=========================================
=========================================
Q: Okay, let's say I've caught a Pokemon that is the answer to the riddle for a shard I turned in. I've taught it a few MT Moves over time, let's say two. I turn it in. It gets sent to the adoption center, reserved for me temporarily. If I want my Pokemon back, do I have to pay any candies to get it back since it has MT Moves?
A: Any Pokémon dropped into the Adoption Centre will lose any moves learned via Egg, MT, TM or HM training. They will also revert to level 1. I would suggest not using a Pokémon you wish to keep as the answer to a shard riddle.

Q: Can someone else babysit your starter Pokémon?
A: Yes, babysitting is allowed but trading is not.

Q: Can i release a Pokémon? like i type in Cloud Garden: "Goodbye Pronyma blahblahblah" and than I erase it from my team?
A: You can release you Pokémon, but you must post in the Adoption Centre.

Q: If you leave your starter in babysitting for too long and is deleted, what happens to your account?
A: Your account is deleted. No starter, no account.

Q: What can you do with a Pokemon you're babysitting?
A: Anything you'd like unless the owner states otherwise.

Q: How long does a Pokemon stay in Adoption before being removed?
A: As said in the rules, 6 months.

Q: If I want to put one of my Pokemon that is in babysitting in adoption, do I have to make room in my party for it, or can I ask the other person to just put it in?
A: You must take the Pokemon back, and then put it into adoption.

Q: Do I need to wait for confirmation before I add a Pokemon I wish to adopt to my team?
A: Yes.


=========================================
10.0 The Egg House
=========================================
=========================================
Q: Since I have six pokemon, but can't store any in the PC because of the level 25 rule, can I get an Egg?
A: When your team is full you cannot pick up an egg.
You can do 1 of 4 things:
1) Abandon one of your Pokemon in the Adoption Centre.
2) Abandon one of your Pokemon in a Trade.
3) Give one of your Pokemon away.
4) Start leveling up your Pokemon so you can get a PC.

Q: Which eggs can <Pokemon> hatch from?
A: Any type that their evolved form has (plus their own, if they are different), with two exceptions: Gastly cannot be hatched from a Poison egg, and Dratini cannot be hatched from a Flying egg.

Q: Do you need to remove a Pokeball from your inventory for a hatched Pokemon?
A: Yes.

Q: Can Castform hatch from a Fire, Ice, or Water egg?
A: No, only Pound and Enigma.

Q: Can you hatch a Wobbuffet, or just a Wynaut?
A: Only a Wynaut.

Q: I hatched a restricted egg (let's say a Mystery Egg), do I have to wait 8 weeks until my next egg?
A: No, just your next Mystery Egg.



=========================================
11.0 The Cable Club
=========================================
=========================================
Q: Can you give a pokemon you got in a trade a nickname?
A: Yes.

Q: If your starter evolves by trading...How do you evolve it? The Cable Club rules say that you can´t trade your starter.
A: It's traded straight back to you so it's a special exception to the rules. You find a person who is willing to trade with you. For example, me. You post saying, "Trading my Scyther w/attached Metal Coat to Enchantress for her Houndoom" I'll then post saying, "Trading Houndoom to Dark Scizor for his Scyther w/attached Metal Coat *Scyther evolves into Scizor* I'm now trading Scizor straight back to Dark Scizor for my Houndoom" Then you post saying, "Returning Houndoom and receiving Scizor *trade closed*"

Q: If you are banned from the Cable Club, are you banned in all of them or just the one you broke the rule in?
A: Simple: Don't get banned. But you are banned in all of them if you do get banned.

Q: If you have a Pokemon in babysitting and want to trade it, do you need to make space in your party?
A: Yes, you must pick up the Pokemon from the other person before you trade it.

Q: Can an updator trade with an updatee?
A: Yes.

Q: In the Cable Club, do you have to post a link to where you received the berry or where it originated?
A: Where you received it.



=========================================
12.0 The Training Centre
=========================================
=========================================
Q: Since flying Pokemon get fly automatically, and water Pokemon get surf automatically, why don't Pokemon like Diglett get Dig automatically?
A: Fucked if I know ;-;

Q: Why do some Pokemon of older members have strange HMs in their movesets?
A: The Pokedex used at that time was not very correct, the Serebii.net one is currently the official Pokedex of FB.

Q: Can you have a Pokemon that doesn't learn a move in the games through the Training Center (like Charmander with Dive?)
A: No.

Q: When can I drop off my Pokemon?
A: As stated, only on Mondays.


=========================================
13.0 Gym Battles
=========================================
=========================================
Q: If one of my Gym Pokemon has fainted, am I free to switch it to my PC?
A: Yes.


=========================================
14.0 The Base Shop
=========================================
=========================================
Q: Are Base Items tradeable?
A: Yes, unless stated otherwise.


=========================================
15.0 Coins for Prizes
=========================================
=========================================
Q: How is the gender, level, and special qualities of a Pokemon determined?
A: You will be given your choice of gender. It will be at Level 1 and will have no chance of being shiny or having egg moves.

Re: Fizzy Bubbles F.A.Q.

The breeding centre rules say that male-only Pokemon can only be bred with Ditto.
but in the game, some breeding pairs (like Nidoran M & Nidoran F, Miltank & Tauros, or Volbeat and Illumise) would spawn either species, not just that of the mother, when bred.

Do those not apply in FB?

Re: Fizzy Bubbles F.A.Q.

No, the offspring will always be the same as that of the mother unless it's a male only Pokémon like Tauros.

That said, the Breeding Centre is new so there is always room for change. At the moment however, what I've just said is what currently applies.

Alrighty, just curious.
One more thing, I didn't see it, it might be there, but I'm blind, and half asleep. Forgive me if it's listed and I managed to read right past it in the rules. ^^;
Is there any specific day of the week we have to drop the parents off? Or does it not matter as long as it's before the deadline?

Re: Fizzy Bubbles F.A.Q.

Just to make sure this is legal, though I'm not confident it is ._.

Am I allowed to ask someone to help me adopt a Pokemon and trade it to me for the Shard Shop if I pay the adopter?

Re: Fizzy Bubbles F.A.Q.

That's what we call a loophole, and this particular one isn't something we can really plug. It's not "technically" illegal to do so as you're getting the Pokémon via trade, but it is frowned upon. Shard riddles are common Pokémon so we'd prefer you to trade for something that has been caught or hatched. I've lost count of how many times I've seen people dump a Pokémon into adoption before checking to see if anyone needs one for a Shard Quest, but if you're patient you should come across the one you need soon enough.

Summary: You can, but we prefer that you don't.

Good thing I don't need either of those Stones. I'll respect the ethics, then.

I was reading the entire first post in detail, and I noticed this rule:

Is this something that's always been enforced? I was never aware of it until now, do people actually do this? *glances around nervously*

Re: Fizzy Bubbles F.A.Q.

Heh, funny you should bring that up because only yesterday I was looking at that and thinking about how we've never really enforced it. Logically thinking, you need a Pokéball to house the hatched Pokémon in so a ball should be removed from your inventory when picking them up. The ironic part is that around 95% of members don't even POST picking up their hatched Pokémon. That means that most members Pokémon aren't even "legitimately" a part of their team *sigh*

Something should be done about that though. Perhaps a simple rule stating you must post to collect your Pokémon after it's been hatched in order to make ownership legal, and while picking up you must link to the Pokéball you're putting them into.

Simple, yet effective. I may just do that.

Re: Fizzy Bubbles F.A.Q.

Just for the sake of argument, wouldn't it be the case that a pokemon hatched in the Egg House have a pokeball provided. I mean, the egg cannot be hatched unless done so by a mod in the shop, where balls would be housed. Thus, a pokemon hatched would be given to the trainer in a ball, not just free.

Re: Fizzy Bubbles F.A.Q.

Says who? We're not a charity. Wouldn't you think that if you're going to get an egg then you'd at least provide a home for the offspring? Besides, who says you want to put it in a regular Pokéball? You may want to use something else. A Great Ball, Ultra Ball, Fire Ball, Thunder Ball, Dive Ball, etc...

It's not like we don't bend over backwards to provide you with items through giveaways and the Casino. I'm sure you can manage to muster one up from somewhere, or spare a measly 100 coins to purchase one. Jeeez...

Re: Fizzy Bubbles F.A.Q.

I wasn't trying to be offensive (sorry) , I just thought that that would be the case. I was mistaken. And you're right, it wouldn't be hard to scrounge up a Pokeball. *off to Monday*

The egg/pokeball thing, does that apply to the Breeding Centre?
And if so, should I go buy a Pokeball, then? :P

Last I asked somewhere around the FAQs, I got a reply saying that it is not needed to post picking a hatched pokemon. Also, I got a reply saying that I may not transfer pokemon through balls.
Maybe the rules has changed since then, but I seem not to be able to find my post in the Serebii Hall of Records. So I'll just adhere to these new rules I guess~

Re: Fizzy Bubbles F.A.Q.

First of all there has never been a rule stating that you HAVE to post to collect your newly hatched Pokémon, it's simply a matter of common courtesy to do so.

Secondly you CAN switch Pokémon out of regular Pokéballs, we've never said that can't be done. It's the special ones you can't change and that was only introduced because people were abusing the beauty points given by the Friend and Luxury Balls. Since then, we've broadened that to include all special balls. All balls that Pokémon have been transferred out of need to be discarded, but people weren't doing that so we stopped transfers altogether except for the transfer from Regular Pokéball to Special/Custom Pokéball. That's not new, it's been in play for a long time now.

And finally, all we're doing is enforcing the "Remove a Pokéball from your inventory for a hatched Pokemon", and having people link to the ball when picking up their hatchlings is the simplest way to go about it. You don't have to use a special ball for pickup unless the hatchling is something you're planning on keeping. The most logical thing to do is use a Regular Pokéball since it's the only one a Pokémon can be transferred out of.

Re: Fizzy Bubbles F.A.Q.

About the boutique.
We can buy our Pokemon clothes, toys, fake weapons...
Can we buy them a pack of cigarettes? I have plans for a Pokemon that intends to smoke himself into an early grave.

Re: Fizzy Bubbles F.A.Q.

Tsk, tsk. There are a lot of youngun's in FB. Smoking should not be permitted.



But yeah, I guess so. Poor Pokémon, whoever it is.... ;-;

Re: Fizzy Bubbles F.A.Q.

Ya'll's horrible judgment of my Pokemon aside... ;.;

Is there a limit to the number of accessories a person can buy for a Pokemon? Let's say I wanted to buy a shirt, some boots, a pair of gloves, flight goggles, some pants, and--gasp!--cigarettes, all for the same Pogeymanz, could I?

Re: Fizzy Bubbles F.A.Q.

You can buy as many items for your Pokémon as you want, it's your coins you're spending. If you want your Pokémon to have a selection of different accessories/outfits, that's fine too. There's no limit.
