Fizzitopian Space Station Newly constructed to accommodate the boom in space exploration and tourism, the Fizzitopian Space Station serves as the central base for FSA activity, as well as the first step in a trainer’s journey to outer space. Orbiting the Earth every 90 minutes at an average altitude of 400 miles, this feat of space engineering spans the length of a typical cruise liner, with a similar assortment of trappings from shops and restaurants to gyms and swimming pools. With robust environmental systems in place, it serves as a permanent home for many crews of astronauts and cosmonauts. Orbital Plaza: The hive of activity for trainers and astronauts alike exists in the station’s Orbital Plaza. Trainers looking to leisurely explore one of our solar system’s planets can find information on departing shuttles from here. It’s the ideal location to wander aimlessly and let adventure find you.The Solar System The planetary system we call home is located in an outer spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity - the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, dwarf planets such as Pluto, dozens of moons and millions of asteroids, comets and meteoroids. Our solar system formed about 4.5 billion years ago from a dense cloud of interstellar gas and dust. The Sun: The heart of our solar system. Daring trainers are invited traverse the Sun’s plasma fields in a heat-protective suit, at rare times encountering extreme fire-types birthed from the glowing ball of hot gas itself.Solar Orbiter: Drifting in close satellite, the orbiter’s purpose is to provide detailed measurements of the inner heliosphere and nascent solar winds; the orbiter also houses an artificial volcanic biome with robust life support systems, designed to study how terrestrial Fire-types react to prolonged waves of solar energy. Their resultant boost in power makes them difficult to contend with. The Outer Rim Technologies capable of reaching these regions of space are experimental and highly dangerous, trainers must have clearance to explore these areas following completion of an adventure in our solar system’s limits. Faerie Nebula: a region of space foretold by astrologers long before our most powerful telescopes, the nebula is named for its pink glow and butterfly formation. The worlds scattered throughout this star nursery are teeming with fairy types and strange energy fields which send have sent all our probes haywire; what lies on remains a mystery.

With Mask’s blessing I am submitting an expanded version of New Fizz City, as well as myself for consideration for Zone Administration. Of all the amazing zones to have come out of the new era, NFC seems to have really positioned itself as a staple in the game’s lore and geography. With that said I feel there’s so much more untapped potential in a metropolitan zone, from colourful and distinct neighbourhoods to places where a greater abundance of wildlife can be found; I feel it would make the perfect compliment to the more rural and fantastical zones we currently have in play. If someone else is elected I would be happy to let them take the reins on its revival should they wish to do so. That being said I’m still brimming with ideas for maps and stories so you can bet I’d still play a supporting hand in its development.
So without further ado, I present to you a New New Fizz City: New Fizz City stands as a shining beacon of hope and prosperity for the world of Fizzy Bubbles. Built on the shores of Cape Effervescence over two centuries ago, the city started root as a trading port which fell into great prosperity during the industrial revolution. The port town attracted people from far and wide in search of a better life, quickly growing into a diverse and bustling metropolis sprawling for miles across the land and stretching way up into the clouds. As the modern urban center of Fizzytopia, New Fizz City boasts significant high-rise development, widespread use of cars and motorcycles and one of the most extensive transit systems in the world; from its subway and commuter trains to the world-famous yellow cabs that shuffle along the city streets, there is just about nowhere you can’t get to in the city. Famed for its vibrant neighborhoods and unparalleled culture, New Fizz City is a proud cultural melting pot where you are sure to encounter trainers from every walk of life. While city folk have a strong sense of community you will find them just as welcoming to outsiders, although tourists are advised to keep out of certain districts after dark with growing poverty giving way to increased crime and gang violence. While green spaces are hard to come by in the concrete jungle, many species of Pokemon have learned to adapt to urban life. Resident strays have a certain street smart about them making them valuable companions, provided you can win their trust. As the locals will tell you, the city that never sleeps holds adventure on every street corner. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere! Downtown - The Business & Commercial District Downtown reply in Slate Gray Downtown is the bustling financial center of New Fizz City and its most urbanized area, with historically laidback zoning restrictions giving rise to the tallest high-rises in the city. The biggest, busiest and most crowded area in the city, downtown it is a hive of activity for both shoppers and businesspeople alike; even if you're not mesmerized by the city's soaring skyscrapers and monuments, you'll be blown away by its flourishing arts, food, and fashion scenes. From famed museums and art galleries to world class sporting venues, you could live a lifetime and not experience all the amazing things downtown has to offer. Municipal Plaza: The beating heart of the city, Municipal Plaza holds many of the buildings necessary to keep New Fizz ticking, including its city hall, banks, hospitals, schools and universities. The headquarters of both the New Fizz Police Department and the Fizzitopian Investigation Bureau are also present here. What the plaza lacks in wild Pokemon it more than makes up for in human activity - you’d be hard pressed not to get swept up in adventure strolling through Municipal Plaza. Uptown - The Culture & Entertainment Districts Hoodlem Reply in Orange Hoodlem is economically poor and the most deprived of the five boroughs in New Fizz City, characterized by its run-down housing projects, pockets of small-time businesses and shops that have presumably failed shortly after their establishment. Although the district has industrial roots, it has been experiencing gentrification over the last few years with tourists seeking to escape the downtown hustle in favor of this urban shangri-la. Abandoned buildings and decrepit warehouses are a common sight in Hoodlem, overrun with wild Pokemon that give even the local street gangs a hard time. Alto Bridge: One of the world’s longest suspension bridges, Alto Bridge connects Hoodlem and neighboring districts with downtown New Fizz. It is considered a historic staple of the New Fizz City skyline, transporting commuter car traffic underneath and touristic foot traffic above. Standing before its incredible arches with city skyscrapers rising in the distance will inspire a sense of grandiosity, just watch out for strong winds and swooping flying-type Pokemon!Neon East Reply in Yellow Green As you walk up the stairs from the dark underground subway, give your eyes a minute to adjust to the bright pulsating lights of Neon East. This futuristic district looks like something straight out of cyberpunk fiction, walls covered in flashing billboards and holographic signage that blanket your field of vision; it’s said on a clear night the glow of its colorful multi-storey shops and arcades are visible all the way from the high-rise balconies of downtown! With unparalleled nightlife and entertainment, Neon East is a thrilling location to visit, as well as an interesting and vibrant place to live for those of means. Sparkling Strip: You’ve heard New Fizz is the city that never sleeps, now meet the venues that are keeping residents up. If you’re looking for a night on the town Sparkling Strip is the place to be, from glitzy rooftop bars with swimming pools to underground raves which go on until sunrise, there’s a scene for every style. Pokemon are usually only allowed out in VIP areas, so you’ll need to rub shoulders with the right people if you want this privilege.Bohem Reply in Deep Pink If you want to get away from the traffic and crowds to kick back with the more beatnik populace of New Fizz City, head on over to Bohem. Years ago, artists seeking affordable housing, open studio space, and a lifestyle away from the mainstream metropolis seeped into this deteriorating industrial district and gave it new verve. They converted the abandoned warehouses into lofted art studios, independent galleries, and coffee shops buzzing with character. Visitors are invited to pull up a chair at the local coffee shop or stroll through its galleries, where you’ll meet all manner of artists, musicians and creative types. Artisan Avenue: The streets of Bohem are a blank canvas for the city’s most talented street artists, brightening up abandoned storefronts, turning corrugated gates into canvases and covering entire apartment blocks; all this creative energy culminates in the appropriately dubbed Artisan Avenue. The street is closed off to road traffic, giving creatives free rein to chalk asphalt, tag walls and sculpt all kinds of strange monuments the call art. You’ll find the avenue littered at any time with artists selling their creations as well as lively street performers, their music and dancing often interrupted by curious stray Pokemon.Alderboro Reply in Khaki Amidst the urban jungle you’ll also find a little pocket of history, Alderboro faithfully evoking the spirits of days long gone. Alderboro is the last remnants of New Fizz City before it was new, drawing both locals and tourists alike to its nostalgic, almost enigmatic charm. The neighborhood’s narrow winding streets are lined with attractive green spaces as well as cafes and shops passed down through generations, offering a perfect place to while away the afternoon. You’ll find time seems to move much slower in Alderboro. Trader’s Bazaar: A bustling marketplace packed with food, clothing, and knick-knacks you’re not likely to find in the city’s shopping malls and boutiques. Beware of some of the dodgier vendors advertising fake items as genuine artefacts. If you're lucky, however, you may just find a gem amongst the junk.Fizzby Harbor Reply in Light Sea Green The largest natural harbor on the Fizzitopian Coast and its busiest waterway, Fizzby Harbor welcomes thousands of ships carrying millions of metric tons of cargo from around the world each year. The harbor is also serviced by several cruise lines, commuter ferries, and tourist excursion boats; if you ask around you might just find a captain offering sightseeing tours or looking for an extra crew mate. Further down the wharf, Fizzby Harbor is archetypical of a seaside funfair, with several attractions and a ferris wheel, though the promenade at night is a sight for sore eyes to drown their sorrows on. Cape Effervescence: The main tourist draw of the harbor district, Cape Effervescence’s undersea vents leave the waters bubbly, but not chaotic enough to hinder swimming. While its coral reefs died centuries ago due to the sea traffic pollution, water-types and other sea loving Pokemon still reside here. If you want a calm area to just fish and watch the ships go by, look no further. And don’t forget to record your catches! The cape’s famous fishing hut gives out prizes for the biggest or best catch of the day. New Fizz City Limits - The Industrial Districts Fizzy Power Co. Reply in Dark Orange Situated on the far outskirts of the city, Fizzy Power Co. carries the burden of not just New Fizz City’s electricity usage, but much of the wider region’s power supply. Operated by skilled technicians and a workforce of hardy electric-types, this Power Plant is proud to have kept the city lights on without an outage in over fifty years. Other than those that work at the plant, many electric Pokemon can be found mooching off the excess electricity and occasionally wreaking havoc. Surrounding the plant is an electromagnetic field which is reported to trigger evolution in certain species of Pokemon. State Landfill Reply in Dark Sea Green A vast and hilly expanse composed of trash heaps and compacted vehicles stacked to the nines, you can guarantee that any and all waste from the city will eventually find its way here. Naturally the landfill has become a habitat for poison types, with the hazardous chemical waste sent from the neighboring power plant birthing all sorts of toxic Pokemon. Why a tourist would visit here is a mystery, although the rumors of thrown out treasures may be enough for you to brave the stench. Sonder Island Reply in Pale Violet Red Once an island town with a sizeable population and booming economy, Sunder Island was plundered into catastrophe when its nuclear power plant went into meltdown. The radioactive island was evacuated and its bridge to the mainland closed off for good; but today Sunder Island exclusion zone isn’t devoid of life. Its abandoned tower blocks have been overrun by lush forest and home a collection of wildlife, as well as descendants of Pokemon that were left in the city when its residents fled the nuclear fallout. Exploring the island offers an eerie look at what our cities would look like if humans vanished off the face of the earth. Fizzitopian Rail Reply in Dark Khaki Once a popular train line, the track was decommissioned after an incident where a powerful Pokemon wrought havoc on its tracks. The now defunct railyard is home to many steel types which can be found burrowing in its empty train carts or feeding off of scrap metal. A walk down the train tracks offers views of some of the city’s best graffiti art, just don’t stick around for nightfall when crime and other mysterious goings on are commonplace. Fizzby Freight Yard Reply in Dark Cyan Situated on the far outskirts of Fizzby harbor, Fizzby Freight Yard is the region’s largest shipping and trading operation. The complex specializes in oil refinery and distribution, though warehousing is also an important element of business. The freight yard is a playground for all kinds of urban Pokemon, and if you’re willing to weather its cold-storage warehouses you’ll find them swarming with ice-types.
