And thus I've taken a great new step in my FB career by posting my first set of updates.

I'll probably pick up some more people sooner or later, since there's an awful lot of super rare Pokemon I need to complete my dream team.

Holy shit I got an update yes.

With regards to becoming an updater, what are the minimum requirements? I know it's early for me, but I've already cut my teeth on updating similar stories with WF, so I'm vaguely confident in my abilities.

There aren't any requirements other then passing the updater test to my knowledge.

It basically consists of writing a practice update for three posts of your choosing, and if it meets quality standards, then you're good.

Hey yo, bitches.

I have found myself forced into your arms.

So I guess this means I'm coming back? At least the community here is a soothing balm to my head.

Thanks MM.

I'll be continuing as Blaze a little longer until I can think of a suitable way to drop the curtain on him before reworking him because I don't feel very comfortable RPing as him anymore.

For obvious reasons.

Not sure if you are aware but you're allowed to have multiple characters and as far as staff is concerned your ownership of Pokémon is tied more to your FB account than it is to any particular player character you concoct. In other words:
  1. You can create a new character without having to do anything to Blaze.
  2. Your new character can use as many or as few of the Pokémon Blaze had used as you like, with the exception of Blaze's starter I believe. And also maybe not concurrently (I'd have to look back into that). But the point is, if Blaze had a Misdreavus and a Seedot and a Trapinch that you now want someone else to adventure with, you can engineer that. You needn't retcon Blaze himself (though you can!). You needn't morph Blaze into a new person (though I think you can do that too! haha).

Yeah I was brought up to speed on that (thanks for the link though!) but I will be reworking Blaze. It would be disingenuous to kind of drop him like that.

But at least this gives me precedent to have Remilia adventuring, which I've wanted to do forever so yay!

For what it's worth I completely revamped my character at one point from an OC to resemble myself more, without providing any explanation. It's totally allowed.

Same here. I didn't like how my character was a self-insert, and the backstory was going nowhere, so I just delivered a good old slate wipe.

Gosh, everyone's coming back to us, except Hayward.

With regards to adventures involving Pokemon Centers, is there any specifics on how many nurses there are in one Center? I would assume that there are multiple nurses for bigger PCs, it doesn't make sense to only have one Nurse Joy at every single town and city.

...also would it count as self updating if I mentioned multiple nurses without being given information on that *cough*

I'm pretty sure creating the scene would be fine, considering I've done that somewhat well.

Why are we using the same TO thread since 2009? Let's start a new one?

Bleu actually raises a notable point. The previous 2 TO threads have 2k and 10k posts respectively. This? 37k.

That's a bloody lot, but ultimately it's mod discretion whether a new TO opens or not.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we've had the same TO thread since my return to FB... in 2012. Never really thought much of it, but yeah, this one's gone on a pretty long time, hasn't it?

imo don't call it quits until at least 2000 pages. Already 3/4 of the way there, so may as well go big xD

The reason you guys have new TOs all the time is because the the younger ASBers are spam-happy, are especially spam-happy when nearing arbitrary landmarks like 10000 posts or 1000 pages, and invariably get the TOs locked. There's a couple of days of silence and then a new TO pops up. It's become something of a tradition now for you guys, one we don't share.

The reason TOs originally existed in multiple was because on the old server we used to have problems once threads got bigger than 500 pages. So Kuno would encourage us to make a new thread when the old one got too big. You see non-ASB, non-FB relics of this elsewhere:
  • the Going to Hell thread
  • the Anime forum's nearest equivalent to a TO, the Suggestions Box
So FB's third TO is the result of the previous two reaching 500 pages and then getting locked. The third TO, this one, never got locked because by the time it reached 500 pages we were already on to a new server with new capabilities -- and the need to lock threads at 500 pages had gone away.

Alright, Lillipup day is upon us, so those of you with those adorable little puppies, or either of their evolved forms, this would be the time to go and get them some gifts. Why, no, I don't have a huge weakness for cute puppies, whatever would make you think- ok yeah I totally do.

On a slightly less puppy-related note, I'm trying to see if I can't get things moving again over at BMG's FB Development forum. For those of you newer to FB, that's basically where we suggest, discuss, and eventually maybe even implement new ideas for FB. It's where the Dream World zone was first suggested, it's where we worked out the finer details of implementing Mega Evolution, and it's even where it was decided that FB doesn't count Phione as a legendary Pokémon, so yeah, if you got ideas for FB, that would be the place for them. And even if you don't have ideas of your own, I'm seeing a fair amount of good ideas already there that might need some additional input (and no, I don't just mean my own ideas- MZ, for one, has a pretty cool idea regarding legendaries, and there's also a potential FB Battle Frontier, just off the top of my head).

Huh, on Serebii my post count has been zapped to zero, but all my posts still exist and they haven't been moved to forums that don't track post count. Kind of annoying since it refuses to let me post the necessary links for Lillipup day :/
