'''Fizzy Bubbles''' (or simply '''FB''') is a fan-made, text-based Pokémon RPG that began on [[Bulbagarden forums]] in the days of Red and Blue, in which adventuring takes places in various pre-fabricated "zones". At first, the game centered on Water Pokémon, and there was only a single Fizzy Zone, hence the name Fizzy Bubbles. More zones were added over the next few years, but the game was shut down when [[Bulbagarden forums|BMG]]'s site went down. It was revived on October 22, 2002 on [[Ultimate Pokémon Network|UPN]] before expanding to the [[Serebii.net]] forums, and later back to the [[Bulbagarden forums]]. | '''Fizzy Bubbles''' (or simply '''FB''') is a fan-made, text-based Pokémon RPG that began on [[Bulbagarden forums]] in the days of Red and Blue, in which adventuring takes places in various pre-fabricated "zones".

Exclusive to UPN, Trainer Battles allow two Trainers to battle against each over with their Pokémon for prizes and bragging rights. Unlike entering a zone, members will pre-arrange a battle with another Trainer. Trainer battles work in a similar style to zones; however a Referee takes the role of Updater and will keep a constant check on the Pokémon's health and energy making sure no rules are broken. | Exclusive to UPN, Trainer Battles allow two Trainers to battle against each over with their Pokémon for prizes and bragging rights.

Just as with the [[core series]] games and {{pkmn|anime}}, Fizzy Bubbles also possesses gyms, and trainers in Fizzy Bubbles can undertake gym challenges. However, these challenges are subject to strict regulations & rules, and so differ from the games and anime greatly. Gyms are UPN-exclusive, and run by the forum staff there. Though none are currently open, the three gyms are: the Afterlife (Ghost) Gym, which awards the Grave Badge; the Leaf House (Grass) Gym, which awards the Leaf Shield Badge; and the Fire Gym. | Just as with the [[core series]] games and {{pkmn|anime}}, Fizzy Bubbles also possesses gyms, and trainers in Fizzy Bubbles can undertake gym challenges.

FB Gym Challenges are divided into four tiers: levels 1, 2, 3, and Ultimate. Each of these levels has its own pre-requisites for participation, which consist of a minimum level for at least 3 of the challenger's Pokémon to meet (25, 50 and 90 for level 1, 2, and 3 challenges respectively), and 3 trainer battle wins of a certain difficulty (Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced for levels 1, 2, and 3 respectively). The Ultimate tier is the exception, as it requires not the defeat of 3 trainers but the possession of all badges from the FB gyms in order to participate. Additionally, for Ultimate level, the challenger must possess at least six level 100 Pokémon. | FB Gym Challenges are divided into four tiers: levels 1, 2, 3, and Ultimate.

Additionally, for Ultimate level, the challenger must possess at least six level 100 Pokémon. Unlike the challenges of level 1, 2 and 3, the Ultimate Gym Challenge culminates with battle against 4 UPN mods, each of whom will use a legendary Pokémon, making the Ultimate level more similar to the [[Elite Four]]. | ||

Aside from being used to raise the levels of Pokémon, [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]] are also used in FB as currency. One free Rare Candy is given to each player in the Pokémart on Monday. However, this is not the only way to obtain them. | Aside from being used to raise the levels of Pokémon, [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]] are also used in FB as currency. One free Rare Candy is given to each player in the Pokémart on Monday. However, this is not the only way to obtain them. Later, Coins were introduced as an alternative currency, and many shops will use both, with some specializing in one or the other (e.g. the FB Bank and the Coin Exchange for the storage of each separately). | ||
