Just learned many people hate the Safari Zones, do you?

Nah, I think it can be fun.

Can be incredibly annoying if you're trying to get a certain Pokemon that has 1. a low encounter rate and 2. a high flee rate. Hello Tauros. In 2009 it took me 2 straight hours to catch a Tauros.

I did not really care for them no. I also worked out what made Missingno. glitch work could also work on encounters on any route, providing you repeled over to either east of seafoam or had reached Cinnabar Island. I had the easiest time of any you cunts in Gen I trying to catch Safari Zone critters, as I just went to the area I wanted to hunt, set the encounter table, then fucked off to seafoam to battle the cunts and catch them, instead of allowing the RNG to piss me off.

They're not very good content at all, they pretty much arbitrarily restrict all the enjoyable elements of a Pokemon game. I don't really know what the point was in the first place besides finding a way to use some assets and programming for encounters without Pokemon from before the core gameplay was established in development.
They're infinitely better than the Wild Area which is a complete nothingburger, though. If interactions with Pokes in the Safari were anything more than "random RNG bullshit until the encounter runs away" they could be fun.

Somebody said it, SV should have a Safari Zone with Arceus caching mechanics and I agree. That's the only way a Safari Zone could ever be interesting to me.

Yes, I hate them. I hate any mechanic that actively fights against expiration or punishes you for playing the game. This I clues the safari zone but also things like random encounters.

Liked them at first, and then having to deal with rare spawns that flee on the first turn for literal hours made me dislike them.
Yet I still prefer these over the Wild Area.

1's step counter and disjointed map was pretty gay, but it had the best idea. I wouldn't mind the time limit and subsystems if pokemon locations and interactions made more sense. Something like RSE's daily TV events with stampedes and such changing up which populations of Pokemon are where in the zone. Would also be a good way to work past gen mons into the next gen with seasonal new rotations of mons or something.
Gen IV almost did this right but the telescope thing just fell like random rng bullshit and wasn't at all intuitive.

I'm talking about it having rotating pokemon that are sort of predictable so you don't have to just go in and waste fucking time for hours if you just want a Croagunk. I didn't say it was some grand expansion and evolution of the concept of the Safari Zone.
Is reading comprehension really that hard for you?

Because it was a completely waste of a system, that wasn't even good in the first place.
What was the exclusive mon to it? Fucking carnivine? Basically no one bothered with the great marsh because it was worthless which is by far the worst you can do with a safari zone.

I enjoyed it from what I remembered, if you wanted to revamp it you could have it basically be Pokemon snap. An on rails trip with pokemon running about, and by interacting with the pokemon in specific ways gets others to appear.

Wish it was a regular dungeon without the gimmick. Kanto could have used another nature based dungeon besides Viridian Forest.

I know, I meant nature as in lush life/greenery

Safari Zone made catching pokemon a special RNG hell. Luck based bullshit.

Also, I hate the camo design of the mandatory Safari Balls.

Carnivine, Skorupi, Yanma, and Croagunk were all exclusive to it at least in DP. I don't know what Platinum changed.
Your point has absolutely nothing to do with any point that I made, though. Like I don't really even know why you responded to my post. I never said anything good about the available Pokemon selection, I only even mentioned it in regards to the gimmick of being able to predict where Pokemon would spawn.
Again, work on your reading comprehension. Its really tripping you up.

Love the setting and didn't hate the safari game myself but the catching mechanic is not particularly interesting or fun.
Would like to see it return with a different gimmick, something that still sets it apart from normal battling/catching but not so dull and random. Always thought the Bug-Catching Contest is kind of the direction it should go (normal battles, limited party, actual time limit) but obviously still have a sprawling zone and you get to keep more than one catch.

Game Freak consider Legends mainline grandad. just like LGPE, which was an actual fucking spin-off (and a mobile-focused one to boot) sold as a "game", while Legends was more in line with the series tropes, even if it didn't follow them slavishly.
Does your carer know you're missing Radio hour grandad?

Love them. A zone dedicated to catching where you can find exotic pokemon? Awesome. Loved the art style of the first gen and the Pokemon, but the gameplay was kind of unfair, I wish I could at least paralyze the Pokemon before they leave. Gen 2 catching contest was incredible soulful, and the thematically bug contest was a nice way to put it, even if it's for bugs only.
Wish it were a part of the core game, it gave a choice to put a lot of exotic pokemon into one zone.

Yes & no. I like the challenge of getting all the rare items before the step timer runs out, & that it looks visually different from the rest of Kanto.

Your image explains why I hate the catching gimmick. Also, the Safari Ball isn't very good looking, IMO, & doesn't have a lot of match-ups, balltism-wise.
