Member Profile
You passed and are now a full-fledged member of FB! Wonderful! Now what? Well next up is making your Members Profile. You'll go over to the FB Members List, and you'll make your own thread, and from there on set up your members post. Your Member Profile can be stylized however you want it to and can have as many or as few posts as you want/need (keep in mind that if you choose to go as few posts, you will eventually hit Serebii's character limit. Once you do you may make additional posts within your thread. One of our wonderful members ChrisClark has made this Tool that one can use to input all of your member data and output copyable BB code that you can paste into either Serebii/UPN.
An example is located in the spoiler below, now, let us also say that you chose Pichu (for our example) as your Starter Pokémon and managed to get it up to ten points of bond, evolving it into Pikachu: Spoiler: show Note that while Pichu would get; Thundershock, Growl, Thunder Wave, Tail Whip, Sweet Kiss, Charm, and Play Nice, Pikachu gains Quick Attack, Double Kick, Nuzzle, Nasty Plot, and Double team upon evolution and meeting the level requirements, and the best part is, Pikachu is able to use all of these moves without needing to forget any moves! Neat huh?! On top of that Pikachu can learn Move Tutor moves, Egg Moves and Advanced Moves that it can get naturally, through the appropriate methods of course. Another sweet bonus is that Pikachu can also learn Unnatural moves ( moves It normally wouldn't get without our fancy-dancy Bond system {that, once again is getting fully explained further on} ) along with Custom Moves! Now TM's/TR's/HM's( Or Machine Moves if you want to further simplify it) Move tutor moves, Egg moves, Advanced Moves, Custom Moves, and Unnatural Moves ( Abbreviated to, MT, EM, AM, CM, and UM respectively, Further Information can be found further down in this thread) would also fall under "Moves" and you can arrange your move set up like so: Spoiler: show Please note that this is an example and you're more than welcome to have these placeholders in place or not until you get moves that fall under those categories. This example includes the needed information alongside the optional picture. However, you are free to customize your profile as much as your want with fonts, colors, etc. As long as it includes all the needed information about the Pokemon themselves.
Please note that while Linking to everything is no longer Mandatory within your Members profile, it might be a good idea to have links there Just in case you need them later on. Last edited by Lil'twick; 09-05-2023 at 01:27 PM. |

Currency
There are currently three types of currencies within FB.
Linking The majority of statistics in FB such as levels and moves rely on the principle of honor and trust. However, a few specific accounts need to be kept track of and require a link for every deposit and withdrawal.
Shops FB Shops are mainly used to train your Pokémon, though they do offer other facilities. Below are brief overviews of each shop, but please don't rely on these descriptions to base your knowledge. Each individual shop has a more detailed account of its purpose in its introductory post which is often more up-to-date than this thread. The below shop titles all provide direct links to their respective threads, so please be sure to read them. While not mandatory, we ask that those with exceptionally large signatures turn them off when posting in shop threads.

Zones
The adventures you will embark upon in Fizzy Bubbles will take place in special threads called zones, which cater to specific environments and are posted on the main page of the FB subforum. Zones are interactive stories between you and the person updating you - you might encounter puzzles, traps, or other predicaments invented by your updater; it's important to think creatively and respond to these situations the way you think your trainer character would! Remember, you can bring up to six total Pokemon to an adventure. Sometimes, a battle can occur whenever you run into a Pokémon in a zone. Your Pokémon can use any move it has ever learned. It is not restricted to the 4 Moves as it is in the game. Whenever a Pokémon is KOed, the Pokémon that participated in the KO may gain levels at the updater's discretion. If there are multiple Pokémon battling against a single Pokémon, the level distribution will be decided by the updator and the updator alone. Their decisions are final. If you wish to capture a Pokémon, you may capture it after it has been KOed or if the Pokemon becomes willing to be caught through the adventure's storyline. KOing a Pokémon will increase the likelihood of the capture. Various Pokéballs will also alter the chance of capturing it. Legendary Pokemon are available, but only explicitly through an earned Legendary Adventure Slot. Legends encountered outside of these adventures will be uncapturable, and primarily used as plot devices. Zone Adventures can be done with or without a Trainer Character. You are able to send out Pokemon you have under a trainer to have their own adventures! Additionally, you can have Pokemon act as trainer characters. If you have multiple trainer characters, they may be able to adventure together as well. Of course, expect different scenarios and situations to come up compared to a more standard adventure!
Training Zones Training Zones work differently than other Zones, in that they are meant for new or learning updators to learn how to properly run an adventure in Fizzy Bubbles. While they function the same as normal zones in terms of slots, they are meant to be geared toward those in that updating pool.
Free RP Areas Free RP Areas are places for socialization among trainers and their Pokemon. Rules are relaxed here, and the primary focus is on cooperative storytelling. Pokemon and items WILL NOT be rewarded here - all RP here is strictly unofficial! ~ ( This only means that you cannot officially capture Pokemon, earn items or use up items through RP here. You can level up Pokémon here should you choose to by using rare candies but you would need to link to them, and remove the candies used from your balance )
Other Notable Areas

Moves
In Fizzy Bubbles, Pokemon are not limited to four moves. A Pokemon has access to their entire natural move pool, and it is possible for them to learn moves unnaturally as well. Here are a few examples of how Pokemon may learn attacks naturally or unnaturally, and potential restrictions:
Synergy Synergy is a system that shows the in-battle synergy with trainers. This optional system allows you to determine the power of Return and Frustration in battle, as well as pick up some additional moves. If you choose to opt out of this system, Return and Frustration will be up to updater's discretion. Conversions: 1 Happiness point = 3 Bond Points 1 Bond Point = 1 Synergy Point 1 IQ point = 1 Bond Point Pokemon with 30 or more Bond or IQ are considered to have max Synergy. Gaining Synergy
Bonuses: 0: Your Pokemon is neutral toward you. Frustration is at its maximum power. 15: The Pokemon can learn an EM/MT move of choice. 30: MAXIMUM. Pokemon one Advanced/Shadow move* AND one EM/MT move. Return is at maximum power. Last edited by Lil'twick; 09-05-2023 at 01:37 PM. |

Shadow Pokémon
Moves, Battling, & Evolution:
Items & Shops:
Availability:
Fever:
Calling Out:
Cʟᴀʀɪᴛʏ: Clarity is the new mechanic by which normal Pokémon turn into Shadow Pokémon, and by which, Shadow Pokémon can be purified. It replaces the negative bond system and is one of two means of entry into the Realm of Shadows. It is completely player-tracked, although redemption of clarity must be approved by a ZA or ZU prior to adventuring. General: * Clarity operates on a scale of 00 to 20. * Shadow Pokémon start with 00 clarity. All other Pokémon start with 20 clarity. * Shadow Pokémon are purifiable when they reach 20 clarity. * Non-shadow Pokémon are shadowfiable when they reach 00 clarity. * Clarity, like bond, is optional. You may choose to claim positive clarity, negative clarity, both, or neither. Gaining & Losing: Gaining Clarity:
Loosing Clarity
Converting from Bond: Under the old system, Shadow Pokémon had a negative bond value between -20 and -01. To convert to the new system, take the value of the negative bond and subtract it from 30. The resulting value is your Pokémon's new clarity value. e.g. if your Pokémon's previous bond value was -05, subtract 05 from 30. (30 - 05 = 25.) Your Pokémon's new clarity value would be 25. * When converting from bond, you must provide a link to the most recent bond post for the Pokémon in question. Redeeming: When a Shadow Pokémon accumulates 20 clarity, or when the clarity of any other Pokémon reaches 00, the extreme bond value may be confirmed within the Realm of Shadows Shop Thread, and the Pokémon may be Shadowfied or Purified. * Clarity cannot be redeemed if gains or losses cannot be confirmed. This is the new and updated thread that covers the General Rules and Guidelines for the Fizzy Bubbles RPG! For more specific questions you can get some answers in the Q/A Thread on FB FAQ on the main page of the subforum - if you don't see an answer to your question here, feel free to ask in that thread!

Legendary Pokemon
Legendary Pokemon are something that are allowed in Fizzy Bubbles but are considered to be playtest content. That means things may be subject to change down the line, but for now here are the current rules and information about Legendary Pokemon. Currently, Members may own Three Legendary Pokemon per account. This is an aaccount-widething, not a trainer-character-specific thing. That means that even if you have more than three trainer characters, you can only own three Legendaries at a time. This is further broken down into a slot-based system. Thus a trainer may only own one Sub-Legendary Pokemon, Legendary Pokemon, and Mythical Pokemon as of this time. Additionally, there is no limit on how many of a specific one of these Pokemon are in the game. Here are the lists, if you are curious: Sub-Legendary Pokemon:
Legendary Pokemon:
Mythical Pokemon:
*You may adventure for either Cosmog, Solgaleo, or Lunala. Other evolving Legendaries must be caught in their base stage. How do I obtain a Legendary? Simple, adventure and update! At the end of every month, the ZAs will tally all updates and replies from the period and post it along with the Bi-Monthly Updater Rewards. Each Adventure post of 150 Words or more will gain you one point. Each update of 200 words or more will gain you two points. Once you gain thirty points, you’ll gain a Legendary Adventure Slot! You may use a Legendary Adventure Slot as an additional, earned fourth adventure. If you have additional LAS and normal adventure slots, you can turn one of those into a LAS as well! To claim it, just link to the bi-monthly post. You may also self tally, and if you reach thirty beforehand, just link all qualifying posts in a post in the Bi-Monthly thread for Mod Approval. Do I need to do any other prerequisites to obtain a Legendary or its Formes? No! For example, you do not need to own a Reshiram or Zekrom to obtain Kyurem-White or Kyurem-Black. All Legendary Forme changing items are available in the Department Store, and you can use them like any other form-changing item. You do not also need all of the other Regis to obtain Regigigas, for example. What about Ultra Beasts and Paradox Pokemon? Ultra Beasts and Paradox Pokemon are considered to be their own special groupings instead of being in the Legendary Catagory. Those two groupings, along with Phione, may be obtained through Enigma Eggs, Birthday Eggs, and via Zone Adventures! As of this time, these Pokemon (sans Phione) can’t breed. Can I breed or trade my Legendaries? No! With the exception of Manaphy, who you can breed to obtain Phione, you may not breed or trade your legendaries. Of course, you may use your legendaries in all other shops and in all Role Play areas! I want to be the only one with X Legend or “Canon says only one of these exist!” Why are you allowing multiple? Hoopa. Besides that, we want to make sure the game is fun for all people! If multiple people want to own a specific legend, then they can! If you really want an explanation: Hoopa. What about their canon abilities? In zones, all Legendary Pokemon will be considered the same as other Pokemon. We don’t allow Gardevoirs to create Black Holes, for example. A Celebi won’t time travel just to redo a mistake for you, stuff like that. If the updater sees a way to use their abilities, they may do so, but you can’t order it on demand. With Free RP, we’ll be careful to monitor it, but please try to keep it to your Visionary Glade if possible. I read through this! Do I get a cookie? Yes for being a good reader you may have a cookie.
