if the mechanics were more skill based instead of just "throw balls and pray because the other options are fucking worthless" then yes

Obligatory Gen 2 was constructed under a different design philosophy and so Pokémon were added to Kanto to make the wildlife more diverse comment

As soon as you start including things like timed button presses to land or enhance your attacks, like in the Mario & Luigi games, it dilutes the RPG genre with what's essentially minigames.

I think safari zone is objectively a poor concept that could've been managed in a much more involved way.

Based.
You should not be getting rare and valuable encounters just by playing the game. Strong, rare and unique Pokemon like Chansey or Tauros in G1 should be available only for players that put most effort into catching them.

Nowadays we are handled all the powerful and useful things for free or with minimum work. It's cringe and make game purposeless. The chase for rare Pokemon is part of gameplay and what made Pokemon click in the first place.

Why can’t we have both? Hell, why can’t we have main series battles except once you faint them it switches to GO catching style?

There is actually a way to make Pokemon never run away from you. It’s only in RSE though.

Pokemon-wise though it was arguably best handled in Kanto games as >>47089484 said. Safari Zone was a home to rare, powerful specimen not available anywhere else, making the experience much more exciting.

Putting time into a time sink where the amount you put in is completely determined by RNG isnt effort, its getting suckered. I agree that rare Pokemon should require a lot of work and maybe even prepwork but youre a fucking retard if you believe the safari zone exemplifies effort based reward systems.
