Custom Moves and Items

[Missingno. Master]

Alright, after entirely too many destractions, let's get this party started!

Bubbling Cauldron: ...yeah, I can definitely see this needing to be reworked. Maybe make it a pseudo-Metronome kind of deal, where instead of just random effects, it instead allows the holder to, one time only per battle, use a randomly selected move from a relatively limited pool? I'd suggest moves that are kinda thematically appropriate for, like, a witch and stuff. Curse, Hex, Mystical Fire, Scary Face, Eerie Spell, Trick-or-Treat, Forest's Curse, maybe even Pumpkin Bomb. Things of that nature.

Bunny Suit: Agreed wholeheartedly with Iron- I'm all for gearing a lot of these items more for feasibility within raids, but FB is not meant to be a raid simulator first and foremost. We're an RP, and it'd only make sense for our custom items to have effects that work better in an RP setting. By all means, yes, give them more usability in raids, but we shouldn't have to sacrifice some of the more RP-friendly effects in doing so, I don't think.

Heart Container: Glad the recovered health is increased. I always found this item to be pretty useless in the past.

Soulmate Pendant: I'm personally still all for keeping them as two separate items that work together. I liked the idea of the Heart Pendant and Soul Pendant names, in particular. I'm all for making them less gender-reliant, of course.

Unicorn Horn: Good call, IMO, changing it from Horn Attack to Megahorn. Small suggestion, though, in regards to the name- while it doesn't strictly need changing, might I suggest Unique Horn as a name for it? A nod to Galarian Ponyta's pun-tastic Pokédex classification.

Plague Doctor Mask: Was initially unsure about the buffs to the holder being taken away, but I can live with that. I like the effect.

Scarecrow Vest: Cool changes, I like how it works better on Flying-type opponents. Taking away the Speed boosting effects means I'll be taking it off my Furret as that was the whole thing I was going for with that, but ultimately, I'm cool with how this ended up.

Superhero Cape: Haaaahahaha, I didn't have to teach Captain Stomach Fly for his birthday that year after all! XD I'm good with this, I'm good with this.

Old Spice/Alolan/Galarian/Vanilla Incenses: It always struck me as odd that these never had any effects outside of breeding, when all canon Incenses do. That said, I'm not sure what effects they could feasibly have, outside of the Alolan Incense functioning like a Full Incense (little jab to how Alola introduced so many slow Pokémon), so if nobody else can think of anything either, then I guess these are fine as they are.


Anything else I didn't specifically comment on, I'm fine with.

[Ironthunder]

Galarian Incense: Current plus Steel buff.
Alolan Incense: Current plus Fire buff.
Vanilla Incense: Current plus Normal buff.
Old Spice Incense: Current plus big Atk buff, noticeable SpAtk debuff.

I wouldn't mind this. Like I said I'm all for items that allow the use of more unique Moves that might not be available as TMs/TRs.

On that note, not sure how to feel about renaming the Unicorn Horn. I didn't know G-Ponyta's classification so "Unique Horn" just sounds a bit odd to me. I think the original name is fine since it's straightforward and to the point (get it?).

Also forgot to comment on the topic of shortening Fizzy Bubbles Ball to Fizzy Ball, but I'm fine with it either way.

[Princess Ana]

I think the only real change that Bubbling Cauldron actually needs is having its usage restricted. I think it's a cool item but in it's current state its one of those that becomes "spin to you win" where you get the right Pokemon you want out of it or just an incredibly annoying stall item thanks to its ability to randomly heal both the user and the opponent. It's not an item that's ever really going to see use outside of adventures anyways so I don't see a particularly large problem with allowing it to have strong effects.

I don't particularly like the changes to the Bunny Suit or to the Plague Doctor Mask. I feel like rewriting the Bunny Suit's Jumping ability to become useful in Raids means writing the RP flavor out of it which is never good for a game that is meant to be RP focused in nature. I understand that now that we have a by the numbers style of gameplay in Fizzy Bubbles that the entire system now needs to be brought in line with it, but that really shouldn't come at the expense of effects that are useful solely in RP settings. I also feel the same about the Superhero Cape, but the Superhero Cape feels more strictly like an upgrade in terms of viability so I'm not as fussed about it.

Meanwhile with the Plague Doctor Mask's second effect is pretty situational because of the fact that in Fizzy Bubbles, it's pretty rare for an item to basically not be telegraphed, and it was never really meant to be a powerful boost in the first place. It's a much weaker effect than say, Weakness Policy. Not all items need drawback, it's actually one of the relics of old Custom Item design that was frowned upon (lots of overbalanced custom items lol). I do however think that setting in stone what the first effect means is a good idea though. I didn't think at the time that it could be read as different things and only realized later.

I actually like the changes to Custom Pokeballs too, although I think the Feather Ball maybe needs slightly better wording because I don't think most people are going to know what Airborne status means here. The bigger elephant in the room is what function exactly do these balls even play in current FB? Back in the day they used to let you catch evolved Pokemon, a function that could be interesting if it wasn't for the extent that catching was hamstrung and undermined. It's something that has been brought up before, but in a game where functionally, randomized catching isn't a widespread game mechanic, what function do these balls serve?

In light of this, are there potentially other effects that Pokeballs could have? Pokeballs with additional effects are themselves not uncommon in Pokemon. An example might be something such as a Ninja Ball that grants a short-term stealth effect when the Pokemon is released (this should exist, this is a kick-ass idea, if you do this I want royalties). I think there's a lot of room to play around with this idea, especially in Adventures.

[Emp]

For the regional incenses, how about they give a small power buff to Pokemon from the said region? I think that would make a lot of sense, and prevents further overlap with existing items (Galar Incense becoming another Metal Coat etc.) I’m also fine with them having no effect in battle, given that’s not really the purpose of these incenses.

While Unique Horn is a clever name, I don’t think we should be renaming items for the sake of it. These items are referenced all over FB and I feel changing their names is just going to create unnecessary confusion and inconsistencies. What if an inactive member returned, had a Unicorn Horn and didn’t realise we had changed its name? I gave TKF a Unicorn Horn in his Arboreal Cradle adventure which had been attached to the Galarian Rapidash that had been antagonising him – while I wouldn’t go back and update the name it would still niggle at me that it had been given a new name.

[Lil'twick]

So, for custom items, I want to state my thoughts on the proposed changes.

I agree with Emi here on the Bubbling Cauldron, and a few others on the Bunny Suit. Some items are purely from an RP perspective, and I'm fine with them being like that. We are an RP at its core, and some of our custom items should primarily be RP-focused. I do think most of our items should be raid-friendly but should also have RP uses outside of that.

I honestly feel that the Chick Bonnet does not need its detrimental effect. A free Agility isn't that broken, and I feel like it has some cool RP potential. It just lowering speed after the boost makes the site incredibly unappealing and makes the detriment heavily outway its benefit. I can't see myself using this at all in a zone.

The Cupid's Bow and Arrow I feel needs to have a better effect. Attract is great, but since Attract is such a ubiquitous TM I feel like it needs a better effect. I honestly would like it if it just lowered a Pokemon's attack and special attack by one stage once per battle. Sort of like a mini-charm and captivate, and if the opponent is under attract it becomes charm and captivate. It might be a little overpowered, but incredibly thematic, especially with the once per battle clause.

I feel like the Lucky Rabbit's Foot and Four-Leaf CLover should have their effects swapped. I don't know, the items are similar but crit and accuracy feel different. I want them to feel similar but different. Maybe have the increased hit with an additional fun RP effect? That'd be cool.

Dark Lance really should be named Shadow Lance like it was originally. I always think of it as Shadow Lance and as such should be the same since the names are confusing.

Besides that, I think everything else I think has already been stated to some degree. The Plague Doctor Mask should probably retain its original effect since statusing something is usually a huge detriment. But, I do love the Poison Amp.

To be honest I think the Devil Horns would be better as a burn amp. It feels like it would be more thematic to the Item, instead of just being a Houndoom steroid. Maybe make it so a burn from the item has a unique effect? I'm all about unique effects from our custom items, since well, they are unique to us.

As for Pokeballs, let me go through what I think for type balls.

Rocket Ball- Poison, Dark, and Grass types
Aqua Ball- Water, Dark, and Flying Types
Magma Ball- Fire, Ground, and Rock types
Galactic Ball- Steel, Dark, and Psychic Types
Plasma Ball- Fire, Steel, and Electric Types
Flare Ball- Fairy, Dark, and Fire types.
Yell Ball- Dark, Normal, and Fighting Types
M. Cosmos Ball- Steel, Poison, and Electric Types

While the effects Med has written are cool and thematic, I believe that type balls should all follow into the same kind of typeset. I think expanding the type balls to three types to be in line with the Alolan balls is cool, and I tried adding in third types that fit with the Teams as best as I could.

Thematically I think it could work fine either way, but mechanically I think it’s best if it’s the target being afflicted. For starters, seeing as you have zero control over what the targeted Pokemon uses in battle until after you catch it, it’s much harder to control/get an opportunity to make use of the mechanic if you’re not the one ordering or making use of the Biting attacks. Also, I should add that in order to create a vampire, one must be bitten first regardless.

Like yes, they could have your generic basic effects but at the same time, it seems silly for them to when we give effects for basically everything *but* Clarity purposes and people have been asking for Clarity stuff since we decided to make Shadows easier to obtain.

As Sniz said, I’d probably look to see what changes might be made to Bond/Clarity before we implement/change effects that deal with those first.

While incorporating Gravity is a clever idea, wouldn't it have the opposite effect considering there's no gravity in space?

Honestly, I was already struggling with Wereball to begin with. I wanted to change it to an effect that was a little more concrete/well defined, but I was both worried about pushback from the community as well as unsure what exactly to change it to. As for the Space Ball, I think “pokemon that come from space” is a little too niche and much prefer an effect that you can tangibly experience in combat/RP.

Comments:
Honestly, I think for now it might be best if the Cyber Balls were just left as they are. Their novelty lies in their design and their vast array of colors. As for the other Evil Team Balls that are missing, I’m completely open to adding them if someone would like to take a crack at designing them. The Aether and Skull Balls were designed and offered to me by SpinyShell, so if anyone would like to do the same with other Evil Team Balls, feel free to do so and the mods and I might just work them into a future event or something. I’m willing to keep the Custom Ball discussion open as long as people wish to participate, but if the community is okay with everything that is laid out in this post then I’m fine with finalizing these changes as well. Discussions about the overarching purpose/function of Pokeballs in FB should probably be saved for a different thread; what I’m interested in achieving here is updating/modernizing outdated effects.

After thinking it over, I’ve added the RP effect back onto the Bunny Suit. It’s possible I was trying to make the effects too mechanically inclined for raids, but the main reason why I initially removed it was because I didn’t want it to overlap with the Bunny Bonnet’s effect. As for Bubbling Cauldron, I’m fine with leaving it as it is for now if we just restrict its use in Raid Battles.

I’m going to hard pass on this, and here is my reasoning why: Firstly, the original effect mentioned how the holder is given a sharp burst of speed when it enters battle and quickly becomes tired after. I wanted to stay loyal to the original effect as I adapted it into a more technical mechanic. Secondly, a free Agility boost would completely trivialize something like a Choice Scarf, so I don’t think it would be a good idea to do that without some kind of balancing drawback. Choice Scarf locks the user into 1 move while Chick Bonnet’s boost gradually wears off. Both have similar effects but can be utilized differently.

My answer to this is the same as my answer to whenever people point out that Friend Ball and Luxury Ball effects should be swapped for thematic reasons. While the idea is nice in practice, it would mess up too many backlogged acquisitions of people obtaining and using the items in FB, which I just don’t see the point in creating extra headaches to swap. However, you bringing up the Four Leaf Clover did make me realize that FLC completely trivializes the Bunny Ears in terms of effect gains vs detriments, and because of such I decided it would be best to swap part of their effects.

Shadow Lance, Dark Lance, I’m not really fussed either way what the community wants to call it. Personally I think of it as the Shadow Lance, because that’s what it was originally called, but it seemed to have been changed at some point over the years so I just went with what it currently is.

Honestly, I kind of like this line of thinking better than the one I proposed, which was suggested to me on discord. I think it could serve as a mirrored effect to the move Burning Jealousy, where burns are inflicted if the target raises its stats that round. Maybe with Devil Horn, that effect could compound where the holder’s attack/sp.atk are raised by 1 stage if the target receives a burn? This might need some balance testing for stacking/repetition abuse.

While I understand that some people have particular vested interest in this item, I wholeheartedly feel that the prior boosting effect was superfluous and excessive. On top of boosting Poison status effects, it gives the holder both the Guts ability AND the Quick Feet ability? That’s just way too many effects in my opinion. Additionally, for whatever reason it is the only Halloween-themed custom hold item that does not have any demerits in effects. It’s not a trend I created but I felt was important enough to continue to observe as part of tradition. I felt the best compromise was to just get rid of the extraneous effect and focus solely on the Poison boosting aspect.

Honestly, while in large part the purpose of these updates is indeed to modernize/update effects of items to fit in the current meta of Fizzy Bubbles usage, I don’t think we need to just tack on effects to everything so that they can be useful in battle. These items have existed for a number of years with one sole purpose of usage, and I don’t feel like that needs to be changed especially when there are so many other items you can obtain for much cheaper that give the exact same effects you’re proposing.

Final Note:
Keeping discussion open for the community to respond, but would like to start getting a consensus soon. While RP effects of items are very important to an item’s description, please keep in mind the overall balance and practicality of the effects especially when compared to other items in FB as well as items in the Pokemon franchise as a whole. Not every item needs to be some kind of new meta-breaking mechanic; effects that can amplify existing battle styles without going overboard are what we’re looking for here.

Looks fine to me.

I'm taking everyone's silence as approval to the proposed changes, so if you would like to speak your mind now's the time.

Last thing that needs to be sorted out are the Devil's Horns, as were noted in my previous post.

[King Ghidorah]

I'm fine with this. I have no suggested changes.

[Zorchic]

The proposed changes to the custom items look pretty good to me. I'm satisfied with all of them, though I have a question about the Skull of Forgotten Souls. The current description of the item is this, below:

For one round only the skull will summon a skeletal ally. When summoned the skeleton will either defend your Pokémon from attack for one round, or attack your opponent with a Bonemerang attack before it disappears. The effect can only happen once per battle and the user can chose only one effect, attack or defend.

The proposed change/new wording of the item is this:

If the doll has not performed this action yet, the holder may instruct it to use Bonemerang on a given target instead, and the doll will disappear after that action. The skeleton may only be summoned once per battle.

I'm wondering, what exactly warranted a slight change to how the Skull functioned? I interpreted the "old" effect to be that the holder could instruct the skeletal doll to either protect the holder from one attack, or to attack with Bonemerang, on any given turn, once per battle. Now, it seems that according to the description, the skeleton will protect the holder from one attack by default, even if it was not instructed to. I'm not sure why this change was made, or even if it was intended to be a change.

I think my motivation behind that was just to make it less ambiguous of how/when the item was being used and set the mechanic to sort of fit more in lines with the Pokemon universe and how items operate.

My reasoning for the change was to make it more along the lines with the Disguise ability but with the added utility to be used as an extra attack as well.

No further suggestions from me and I'm happy with everything that you've proposed

[Missingno. Master]

Vampire Ball: I may have poorly worded my last words on the matter- I was more under the impression that the ball's enhanced catch rate was more for Pokémon capable of learning biting move, as opposed to Pokémon that actively currently know them or have used them. The former would work better in the games where you'd be more likely to have a feel for what moves the wild Pokémon would know, I would think. A valid point about biting one being a requirement to making them a vampire, and I think you've sold me on that part, though I still feel like the capability to learn biting attacks should be at least considered, IMO. I won't push too hard on this if nobody else is on board with that. Also, either way, I feel I should say something else here- are we counting as biting moves only what Strong Jaw boosts, or are we throwing Super Fang and Leech Life in there as well? Strong Jaw doesn't boost Super Fang because, well, it deals fixed damage. And Leech Life I feel should definitely count towards this whether we think it's a biting move or not because the user sucks the opponent's blood- it doesn't get much more vampire than that.

FB-exclusive Incenses: I can understand not wanting to just tack extra in-battle effects on them just for the sake of it. I just thought it was odd that we never gave them in-battle effects when all canon Incenses have in-battle effects. Makes them useful whether you're interested in their breeding uses or not. Like with the Vampire Ball, I'm not gonna really push for that to change if the majority opinion is that they're fine the way they are, I just wanted to see if I could maybe better explain why I brought such a thing up to begin with.

Lucky Rabbit's Foot/Four-Leaf Clover: Ehhh, I dunno about that explanation for not swapping their effects. I mean, the whole thing we're doing here entails changing the effects of various FB custom held items in the first place. Friend Ball/Luxury Ball is one thing, since they affect how their inhabitants gain Bond, and we keep careful track of all that, but, like, if the Four-Leaf Clover used to boost accuracy and now boosts the crit rate, how is that any worse than changing the Rainbow Egg from allowing the holder to use Soft-Boiled to making the item itself consumable? Why would it be any more of a headache to change the effects of those two items than to change the effects of... literally any other held item we're changing here? I dunno, I may be missing something here, but I'm not sure that's that good of a comparison, y'know?

Shadow Lance/Dark Lance: My personal opinion would be to have it keep its original name (I mean, hell, I still think it was a wasted opportunity that Gen 6 didn't change the Exp. Share's name back to the Exp. All!), but maybe this could be something the community could vote on somehow? Find out which name the majority prefers and go with that.

Most items: Are we gonna assign Fling effects or at least base power values to them as well? I know the ones that have them only have them because they were specifically given them in the events where they were passed out, but I still think it might be nice to work out for other items as well. Probably a bunch of them wouldn't do much of anything special, but I feel like there could be some creative potential with some of these.

Everything else is looking good to me right now, though if I think of something that isn't occurring to me right now, I'll be sure to come back and say something.

[lilboocorsola]

I am fine with the currently proposed changes.

Mostly saying this to get things finalized since I plan on bringing Poochyena to next month's Raids and would like the boost to his Heart Container's health gains *shot*

Honestly, I kind of like this line of thinking better than the one I proposed, which was suggested to me on discord. I think it could serve as a mirrored effect to the move Burning Jealousy, where burns are inflicted if the target raises its stats that round. Maybe with Devil Horn, that effect could compound where the holder’s attack/sp.atk are raised by 1 stage if the target receives a burn? This might need some balance testing for stacking/repetition abuse.

Okay, I have officially placed all of the proposed changes into effect. However, there is one topic still left unsorted. I would like to get your opinions on which direction we should go with for the Devil Horns.

[TheKnightsFury]

Devil Horns as a burn specific Serene Grace. Damaging attack moves that have a chance of applying burn have the chance doubled. Keep the ‘torment’ hinderance for balance.

Mod Notes:
-We added moves or effects to all of the plushies. Togepi Plushie was created for Fairy-type Pokemon
-We want things to be balanced and interesting at the same tie
-Bouquets were fleshed out and added by the mod team
-Tarot Cards need heavy work and are missing half the Major Arcana
-We made some changes that were only able to work for certain Pokemon, so now they work for all Pokemon.
-All items that give levels are not considered Rare Candies, even if they have Candy in the name. We wish to try and preserve the economy. Items are only considered such if explicitly stated.

We will be discussing other items listed in the custom items thread at a later time since they do need reworked. We would like the list above discussed by the community.

[Slash]

There is an issue with:
Pear Bonbon - Teaches TM Egg Move


The type plushies should give some benefit to any Pokemon hugging them, with more benefit to Pokemon of the specific type, rather than being locked to a single type. Even if it's +1 level to offtype Pokemon and +3 to Pokemon of that declared type.

Making things that give levels and aren't rare candies unbankable as rare candies just means the 10 Candy limit no longer exists because those don't count to it. Make them untradeable? We all know that's a terrible idea. Make them count towards the 10 Candy limit? Sounds like Rare Candies with extra steps.

For doubled up names like the Chocolate Cake, one needs to be renamed

Memory Berries need some clarification. There are no moves forgotten by evolution anymore. Does it just qualify for relearner moves? Does it let a Pokemon learn moves from a higher evolution in its line if it wants to? Would it even be an issue if we allowed that (with universal TMs, are even things like Eeveeloutions an issue with allowing that? I don't believe so myself).

Make Fizzy Essence just a non consumable Incense and call it a day. These are forms native to the region we are in, there is no lore or game mechanic justification to make them so much harder to get your hands on than their forms from other regions.

Remove mention of gender from Love Powder.

Cholly Token is useless without the old gacha shop

Speaking of the old gacha shop, I have a Grubbin Plushie and a Jellicent Pencil Topper from back then, which may as well be included in the list

Just initial thoughts

As the one who compiled most of the list and not wanting to create more work for myself, if we include the Castform Shop items then that's a lot of extra things to add. Personally I'm of the opinion that not everything has to have a practical use and some can just exist for RP flavor. Partly why I didn't bother putting in my other Shiny Corsola plushie prize from winning a Tough Contest or the Cruise Ship Corsola-themed memorabilia since I'd rather those just remain as unique souvenirs.
