I miss safari zones.
The timer is the worst part honestly, it's only there because they wanted it to be challenging to get Strength and Surf. If it were just a Ball challenge I think that would be a lot more of a fun diversion
>>58670896it's stupid that they put two HMs in the safari zone, out of five total
>>58670896The worst part is that bait and rocks serve no purpose. You're always better off just throwing a ball until something runs.
>>58670877I don't. they sucked ass.Although, anons are still mad jelly of me catching a non cheats chansey with a lucky egg.
>>58670906Feels like one of those "out of ideas" situations. Honestly it helps with Kanto's pacing tremendously because when you're at Fuchsia, the world's your oyster and you can go anywhere you want without issue anymore. If they waited until like say, Blaine, to give you Strength the game would be significantly less fun and would completely kill the point of entering Seafoam with Strength since that's the first time the HM becomes useful. Given you need to beat Koga for Surf, there isn't really better pacing for Surf to be available. Strength would have to be available somewhere between Celadon/Lavender for it to really be in a better place than Safari Zone>>58670920Bait is significantly pointless but you can do some funny memes with Rocks if your luck is good. Some mons like Chansey already have high flee chance, so Rock actually doesn't hurt their chances to flee since it doesn't go any lower for them. Then you Bait and can keep them around longer than ball spam. That being said ball spam is still better in the long run since unless you get REALLY good Rock luck, it's all a Great Ball chance anyway
>>58670956Sure, you CAN throw a rock for a higher catch rate, but then you risk something running instantly while the first ball might have caught it.
>>58670965That's a hypothetical possibility. You can also miss the ball and they run first turn too. The real challenge is patience finding the mon rather than actually trying to catch it, it's more like fishing than anything. Since the timer doesn't count down when you do tile turns instead of taking steps, it's all up to chanceWhich is what makes the timer so fucking pointless and makes the Safari Zone less fun than just having the opportunity to experiment with your kit. Which makes Hoenn's take being even shittier kinda funny
>>58670877I miss them because I remember going through them, then I remember that outside of having unique spawns typically they sucked
I don't.
>Let's throw rocks at wild animals, yeah!Not even Hisui was this mean.
>>58672071this was kino though
>>58670971>Since the timer doesn't count down when you do tile turns instead of taking stepsyou can't do that in gen 1
>>58672113You can get into a corner and do it.
>>58672071HGSSs was especially bad
>>58670877I sure do miss having to pay to have a limited amount of time to catch Pokemon that can be found elsewhere for free. What were they thinking?
>>58670877Good riddance
>>58670877I actually did enjoy that. Pokemon obtainable only through the safari and the game corner was such a fun idea
>>58673238BW and BW2 were worse though
>>58670956>Some mons like Chansey already have high flee chancechansey has a low chance to flee because flee chance is determined by speed stat
