>>24932241I don't get why they did that, we haven't seen a classic style safari zone since Gen 4, with a RS remake I was wondering how nice is to see the safari zone back (or if it was be the new Friend Safari in hoenn).
But yeah, it was kinda disappointing. Using the set of Safari Balls, having a "time" limit, not sending your pokémon in battle but instead facing a pokémon yourself, this is what made the Safari Zone feel like a special activity or a bonus.
In side note, I still think that Friend Safari is great, it just need better aesthetics, like changing a safari of ground pokémon to a kind of desert, and one of ice pokémon to a cold one, besides making it a bit more big and spreaded than just a big square of grass. It would be 100% perfect.
