Bad: Everything, it's just another route now.

The Bait/Rock/Ball system is what made the Safari Zone unique and yet people bitch about it.

honestly i don't think i miss the bait and rock so much but the new safari zone sure looks small and generic as hell, and i miss the pokeblock feature to help you find different pokemon in the area

How is this a good thing? It makes it no different from a regular route. If the time limit/balls bother you so much just go to one of the other dozen routes.

The old Safari Zones would have been much better if shiny pokemon just flat out couldn't spawn in them. It's for that exact reason i never enter one.

Kanto Safari Zone was to primarly to get to the end without consuming all the 500 steps and besides Chansey it really wasn't difficult at all

Is it challenge? Is there actually any way to figure out the system of throwing rocks and/or bait to actually over come said "challenge?"

As far as I can tell, the whole thing was pretty much an RNG wall where you have to input time to get your reward. If it was a challenge, there would be a way to "git gud" at it, to build up some sort of skill to do better at it over time.

Only chansey was truly good and practical for ingame, others need a shitload of TMs, chansey is practically unkillable and you can buy boltbeam on celadon.

How to fix Safari Zone and make it fun and exciting:

>since pokemon health bar is useless replace it with an "attention" bar
>when you encounter a pokemon its attention bar is at its max but it quickly drains with time (real time!) and if it goes to zero the pokemon runs away
>to refill the attention bar you have to go to your bag and select a pokeblock to give to the wild pokemon and, if the pokemon likes it, it will show an "hearts" animation similar to the one caused with Amie
>this will help make the pokemon more friendly towards you and more likely to be catched
>you can repeat the same process a bunch more times untill the pokemon is satisfied and will not eat anymore food, then you'll have no choice but catch it before you run out of time

yay/nay?

I lost the first shiny I ever saw to that asinine Bait/Rock/Ball system. I'm not at all sorry to see it go.

While ORAS' Safari Zone is shit, it's because of the shitty layout.

I honestly get the feeling the Safari Zone was the way it was in ORAS because they did not want to program the mechanics for it with the X/Y engine.

Personally? I was let down by it. It just felt like a normal area/route now with nothing unique or interesting about it anymore.

Pretty disappointing all around, and I was looking forward to it.

I don't disagree, and something more unique would have been nice, but better a normal route than those terrible Safari Zone battle mechanics.

Pretty much my entire problem with ORAS.

FRLG and HGSS? Actually added shit to the game to make it unique from Gen III/IV that were improvements to the core engine or just great on their own.

ORAS? Felt like a slightly above average ROM hack of X/Y with all the issues with little that was unique (Only thing I thought was decent was the QR codes for hidden bases and the Soaring option).
