The main part of the game happens in what are known as "zones", virtual areas of the Fizzy Bubbles landscape constructed by FB officials, and in which players can have various adventures. The adventure is determined by both the player and the updater, either the a Zone Assisstant or Zone Owner (ZA/ZO). The updater creates obstacles that the player must find a way around, whilst it is the player's job to make decisions as to where to go, and the general mission. | The main part of the game happens in what are known as "zones", virtual areas of the Fizzy Bubbles landscape constructed by FB officials, and in which players can have various adventures.

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.

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. In the 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]]. | ||

How an appeal goes is dependent on the contest's Coordinator, who will update the outcome of each round similarly to an Updater. There are a total of Five Contest Halls: [[Beauty (condition)|Beauty]], [[Cool (condition)|Cool]], [[Cute (condition)|Cute]], [[Smart (condition)|Smart]], and [[Tough (condition)|Tough]], which are each run by their own Coordinator. The contests are further split into four ranks: Normal, Super, Hyper, and Master. | ||
Each contest hall has a different format, with some sticking firmly to the game mechanics and others based on the anime format. The winning Pokémon will earn a [[Ribbon]] of that contest type and rank. The Trainer will then be able to challenge the next rank up, given the Pokémon meets all the requirements for the next rank. Normal Rank contests are held the most often, with Master Rank contests held the least often. | Each contest hall has a different format, with some sticking firmly to the game mechanics and others based on the anime format.
