For the Fakemon Giveaway and other events where you can choose any Fakemon or any lvl 10 Pokemon. Does that include the Legendary Minors as well?

Unfortunately no. Much like normal legendaries have been treated in the past, it is safe to assume that when we say "any lv X pokemon", we aren't including legendaries of any kind unless otherwise specified. Legendary Minors are still legendaries after all, and while we are trying to make them more available than major legends, they will still not be given away like normal pokemon.

That's fair, what about Type: Null?

just out of curiosity, will there ever be a chance to obtain the battle bond ability for a pokemon or a pokemon with the battle bond ability?

So are minor legendary Pokemon able to be given out for the horoscope?

No, only for your birthday, or if it's specifically stated. Otherwise, they are not claimable in horoscopes

Okay thank you. Secondary question: How orange and black do items need to be?
Muscle Band - Is this more yellow than orange?
EXP Share - Is this considered black or grey?

Nope. We deliberated on it upon the release of sun and moon and decided not to include battle bond whatsoever.

that's disappointing.

What exactly counts as a "ball" item. Does it have to have "ball" in the name or does it just need to be round to qualify?

The majority needs to be the color. It's always good to ask, since some can appear different, depending on the computer : ) I'd personally say Muscle Band is yellow, Exp Share would probably be categorized as grey. That seems to be the consensus for now, at least

So since the computers might change the coloring what items are considered orange and black?

So the word "ball" has to be in the name meaning Life Orb doesn't count ... even tho it is a ball.

OrbA spherical body; a globe.
Synonyms: sphere, globe, ball; ext

Black: Black Flute, Black Sunglasses, Black Belt, Top hat, Charcoal, Expert Belt, Dark Gem, Shade Ball, Spooky Plate were discussed and confirmed by at least two mods. If you see anything else you think might qualify, you can ask and we'll check it out : )

Orange: Sport Ball and Spelon Berry are probably good references. We haven't discussed the whole list, but a computer screen should be consistent through the whole thing, so I'd suggest using those two as references and if you're unsure about something, feel free to ask again ^^

Thank you for your comment, but we gave our answer, and it was stated in the horoscope. I'm not really sure what else to say when you try and start arguing this despite the fact that we probably have our own reasoning. It honestly comes across as though you don't respect our decision (since our statement and reiterated answer weren't enough), don't respect us (we obviously know our synonyms, providing it just comes across as condescending), and are just upset that the item you wanted doesn't fall into what we decided the list to be. I understand you want us not to be unnecessarily restrictive, but we needed clear lines to draw to keep it from getting so broad, it exceeded the idea behind the list/idea to begin with. In the future, please try and keep this in mind when you receive an answer to your question. It's very hurtful and frustrating to feel as if we're being talked down to, while having our authority questioned at the same time.

Thanks for your answers. Another question though. I'm going to work towards posts to get a ghost memory so was looking around Alola, There's Aether Paradise but no Aether House. Why is that? Is it just not available?
