Personally, I would be okay tracking it myself, but I also understand that other people are intimidated by the amount of bookkeeping in FB right now, so I do support the decision to make it a mod-side thing unless someone specifically opts-into tracking it themselves.
Course, knowing how things go, the mods might have to keep track of it anyways, to make sure it's correct before buying a Legendary Encounter through SAP is approved.

So for the record... the fact that some people won't want something from one or more of the categories is the point for testing purposes. We want to see what happens when those things start to lose interest so we can best gauge what will happen if we expand things and people get to have everything they ever wanted.
Limiting to when Bi-months happen is also kinda something that just will make tracking things during testing easier for the mods. I'm of the opinion that if the system works we look for a Shop Owner and move to it being posted every couple weeks so it's not that long of a wait, but for the moment it's something that will allow us to have our regular discussions set at intervals just after each bi-month in order to track how things are working. |

I'm at the tail end of my break so I'll just say real quick that this all sounds good to me. Will see about going into more detail after work.

Looked over these. Seems fine to me. Though, one clarification: Does Phione being hatchable mean it's not considered either a Legendary or a Mythical?

Shit sorry, was still using my YGO brain when I typed that up.

Ah. Okay now that I'm not half-asleep I did think of something that might need addressing, if it hasn't already: Kubfu.
This is a bit of a weird one since it's an intersection between a couple different problematic Evo methods. I know the way we usually deal with those is to cut down the requirements until it's feasible for FB. In this case, we have a branched evolution with no Level threshold to fall back on, requiring a specific event to be completed in a specific location that isn't generic like "magnetism" or "stand next to a really cold rock". So... what do? Should we introduce items for evolving Kubfu, or simply make it a Friendship evo that you get to choose the outcome of?

We are currently discussing that, I am leaning to friendship Evo that you choose, because why the Ef would we make yet another item ( or two ) to declare its form

I mean, I could whip up a couple of sprites for such items.

*glances at Mod Chat* Yeah we all just kind of collectively agree here that a friendship evo is the best way to handle this. We need to limit the amount of new items being introduced in any capacity until we work through the backlog, and given the way the questline works for Kubfu, this is thematic enough.

Good enough for me, I figured that requiring zone RP in a specific area or having some sort of item needed for evolving Kubfu would be too much hassle. I assume unlocking GMax Urshifu would work the same way as GMax forms for other Pokemon?

Hello everyone! We are delighted to inform the community that we will be moving forwards with pushing legendaries into Fizzy Bubbles. We will have a full announcement post put up soon, but all discussions in this thread have been taken into account.
Here is a summary of the mechanics: -All trainers can earn up to one legendary adventure slot at a time. Updaters will earn 2 points per update cataloged in bi-monthlies, and Updatees will earn 1 point per adventure reply. Both must meet the standard word count minimum per post to earn these points. You must earn 30 points total to be able to qualify for a legendary adventure slot. The moderation team will tally everyone's point totals in the bi-monthlies, and post them with them. -Legendary Adventure slots count towards your maximum of three adventure slots, and you need an open slot in order to claim yours. You must link to the post you hit the qualification when you start the new adventure. -You may specify a specific legendary/mythical/ultra beast when starting a post (I.e Lugia, Manaphy, or Pheromosa). For lines with evolutions, please state the base form (i.e Cosmog, Kubfu, and Poipole). You can also choose to not state it and leave the encounter up to your updater. -As of this time you may own one Legendary, Mythical, and UB Pokemon per account. Once you hit your limit, you will no longer accrue legendary slots. This limit is subject to change in the future, as we see the impact these Pokemon have within the game. -All caught/partnered (however you wish to flavor) will not have access to their in-lore powers and will function as standard Pokemon. -Forme changes tied to items will require the said item. Mega Stones and Z-Crystals will be available from standard means for these items. Fusion/Forme Items/Zygarde Cube will be available from the Department Store for $1000, and only available to those who have obtained related Pokemon. -Fusion/Forme Items/Zygarde Cube will function as a swapping item, and will not require the secondary Pokemon in order to access the form. (I.e not needing Reshiram to get Kyurem-White). -Kubfu will be a friendship evolution. -Phione is not considered a Legendary or Mythical in Fizzy Bubbles. Can be obtained by breeding a Manaphy or Phione, through Adventures, or through Enigma Eggs. We will condense this summary for the announcement post, but for now, any last-minute discussions should be brought up. We are aiming to get legends live November 1st, 12:00 AM GMT

I'm fine with pretty much all of this, but I think the "in-canon powers" clause should be loosened very slightly. There are a few legendaries/mythicals that can do some very interesting things that don't amount to hitting the "win instantly" button, and getting rid of all of them would kind of defeat the entire point of having one on your team in the first place. That being said, I'm still cool with leaving the rule intact if you think that it should absolutely be that way.
Also there doesn't seem to be anything in the way of handling Meltan and Melmetal. If you can only catch a single Meltan, then how do you evolve it into Melmetal?

I'd like to know whether Adventure Points are going to be rewarded retroactively. If so, I'd like to know how far back it'll be counting, and if not, I'd like if that was made clear, since as this stands, it doesn't seem to say one way or the other.
I think I suggested making the Mystery Box an evolution item. I can even whip up a sprite for it. |

I'm with Blue here, certain powers of Legendary Pokemon aren't very game-breaking and some don't even have a real purpose in battle, so perhaps such powers could be used outside of battle?

The only thing I couldn't really understand regarding these rules is whether we are also supposed to keep a running tally of our points somewhere (since us non-updaters won't be usually posting the Bimonthly thread) or if it's a fully mod-organized task! Other than that, this all sounds pretty exciting!

I uploaded it to Discord already, but just to have everything in one place, I followed through and made a sprite for the Mystery Box:

I have no problem with kubfu being a friendship evo though my understanding is that it did have an Evo item; a style scroll provided by Mustard at the end of the tower. Or at least that's my understanding.

There is indeed a scroll involved, but it's not an obtainable item- rather, it's displayed at the top of the tower, accessible to you only after beating Mustard, and bringing any Kubfu up there will allow it to evolve.
