Fizzy Bubbles
Fizzy Bubbles is a fan-made, text-based Pokémon RPG that began on UPN before expanding to the Serebii.net forums, and later to Bulbagarden forums. Although training Pokémon is a part of the game, it is not the focus.
The main part of the game happens in a number of different zones, where players can have various adventures. The adventure is determined by an updater (a ZA or ZO) who create obstacles that the player must find a way around. The player's job is to make decisions as to where to go, and the general mission.
There are a number of shops available for the player to use. These include a daycare, where up to two Pokémon can gain a level per week for free, and an arcade, where players can play Flash games for prizes.
In addition to be used for raising levels of Pokémon, Rare Candies are used as currency in the zone. One free Rare Candy is given to each player in the Pokémart on Monday. However, this is not the only way to obtain them.
Adventure Zones
The roleplaying zones in which members can adventure in are spread over the respective forums of UPNetwork, Serebii.net and Bulbagarden. Registered members are only allowed to enter three zones at once, except on special occasions such as in-zone campaigns. Zones are usually capped if an updater is unable to take any more updatees.

Shops
Upon joining Fizzy Bubbles, shops allow the player to collect Rare Candies and purchase a wide range of Items to improve their team. Most shops offer services to the player’s Pokémon, such as raising their Level, Contest Stats or Happiness. It is worth noting that a Pokémon used in a shop cannot be used in any other shops or zones until it has completed its shop stay. Shops usually open once on a weekly basis, with the majority of shops opening on a Monday. Although Serebii and Bulbagarden both feature the same available shops, UPN offers a range of exclusive shops not found on either of those boards.
