Festival Plaza

The Festival Plaza is a new feature where players meet up for Battles & Trades, but there is far more to it than just that as there are many stores and things to do within the whole area.It is accessed by pressing the special Festival Plaza icon on the bottom screen at any time, warping you there. As you do more things in the Festival Plaza, then more facilities and more things to do in those facilities will become available as you level up. This makes it very akin to the Join Avenue in Black 2 & White 2. To level up, you need to earn Festival Coins by doing a variety of activities. Level Coins To Next Level Level 1 6 FC Level 2 10 FC Level 3 15 FC Level 4 30 FC Level 5 40 FC Level 6 50 FC Level 7 60 FC Level 8 70 FC Level 9 80 FC Level 10 90 FC Level 11-20 100 FC Level 21-30 120 FC Level 31-40 150 FC Level 41-50 180 FC Level 51-60 210 FC Level 61-70 240 FC Level 71-80 270 FC Level 81-90 270 FC Level 91-100 270 FC Level 101+ 300 FC The unique feature about the Festival Plaza is that it will propogate itself with players you will find online and locally, and from there you can interact with their avatars and help earn Festival Coins to spend on the various activities in the Plaza. This is not limited to people on your friend list, but rather all players that are also playing online, and when they see you they can even challenge you to battles or request trades.

Plaza Guests

As you play with Festival Plaza, various random people online, as well as ones on your Friend List, will appear. These characters can be interacted with where they will request for you to suggest certain shops to them. This will be notable when their speech-bubble as you walk past them is red. They will either ask you a question about yourself, ask your opinion on one of their stats or ask you to take them to a place in the plaza. If you succeed at doing so, then you will receive Festival Coins with more coins the more successful you are. You will also have the ability to make them VIPs. If they are VIPs, then they are more likely to appear in your plaza in the future. You'll be able top tell what they want based on their note above their head before you talk to them Note Action Battle! Battle!
