The Safari Zone in Hoenn, located north of Route 121.The Safari Zone in Kanto, located north of Fuchsia City.Safari Zones can be found in the following regions: Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! effectively do not have a Safari Zone the area that used to be the Safari Zone is replaced with GO Park, while the zoo area in front is referred to as the "Safari Zone". The Johto Safari Zone has no step limit, while in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire the Hoenn Safari Zone has none of these mechanics, its areas functioning instead like normal routes. The wild Pokémon within Safari Zones are capable of fleeing at any given time. The most important of their specific mechanics, however, is that Trainers do not initiate Pokémon battles with the wild Pokémon, but instead must catch them without battling them.

Most have a 500 entry fee, a step limit, a series of distinct areas with different wild Pokémon in each, and thirty Safari Balls, with which players may catch the Pokémon they come upon. Their mechanics are similar to each other. That and other areas such as the Grand Underground are expanding upon the dex with pokemon not in the original games whatsoever so for all we know, any changes made to a potential Safari Zone could've been used for that instead.Safari Zones are special preserves for rare wild Pokémon, found in several regions. This does make me wonder how the Poke-Radar will work as even looking at how the Chibi models walk in this game, going in a straight line isn't really necessary. Meaning that determining how many steps the player takes is a little bit harder to consider. However, despite BDSP being more faithful in visuals, we have free-form walking everywhere we go. Back during R_S_E, it made sense to have the Safari Zone play out the way it did as each step was counted on a grid, making it much easier to tell how many steps the players were taking. While I don't like the removal of the Pokeblock mechanic, I do understand why for the remakes that change was made as Pokemon does not have a grid-based walking system anymore. The reason why I believe this to be the case is because ever since ORAS, the Safari Zone has just been turned into a special area to capture exclusive pokemon. We do see the Great Marsh in the trailers so we can confirm it's there, but I don't think it will work the same way as older safari zones as modern games have typically moved away from that. So I think that there is precedent for me to wonder if we really will get an actual safari zone or not and deciding to point out some evidence for it being an actual safari zone. The other ones we've gotten since have been changed heavily: friend safari in X and Y or the GO Park in Let's Go. In fact the last time we did get a true safari zone was in HGSS back in gen 4. That doesn't necessarily mean it will actually be a safari zone though or it will be changed in some way, case in point, the safari zone area in ORAS was changed from the originals to allow you to just go through it freely using whatever balls you wanted, with no limitations on how long or how far you traveled in it and no risk of the pokemon fleeing in battle, pretty much like any other area in the game. However I would much prefer then that you can just use the safari ball wherever you want like in SwSh, although with a much easier and more likely way of getting one then the 1 in 1000 odds from the cramomatic.Įdit: As many of you have already pointed out, it seems the Great Marsh was indeed in the latest trailer. Obviously this isn't any confirmation or actual proof or anything but for continuity purposes with SwSh already mentioning the Great Marsh in the Sinnoh Region it makes sense.Īll that being said however: it's not like this is particularly all that exciting other than for people that love the Safari Zone or that like me you are a pokemon/ball combation collector and there are new pokemon you can get in the safari zone in safari balls. Notice that they took the time to improve their description to mention that the Great Marsh is in the Sinnoh Region and also add that the Safari Zone was also available in the Kanto Region (while also forgetting that the safari zone was also in the Johto Region in HGSS). It is recognizable by the camouflage pattern decorating it. Notice that they updated the description with previous games which didn't have as much info:Ī special Poké Ball that is used only in the Great Marsh. I just noticed that the description for the safari ball in SwSh states: A special Poke Ball that was used in the Safari Zone in the Kanto region and in the Great Marsh in the Sinnoh Region.
