Somewhat unrelated inquiry, can anyone who likes the concept of Safari Zones please explain to me what the fuck is the appeal of participating in one?

Making a goal harder to achieve results in the player feeling a greater thrill upon accomplishing it, this is a principle that drives most singleplayer games

Why does it specifically need to be in a way that's boring? There are other ways to make a mon more rare. I'm asking about the appeal of the Safari system specifically. See above about opinions.

Harder to achieve doesn't mean the gameplay is difficult. It's the same concept as rare gacha pulls

the safari zone is one of the less offensive ways they've made a pokemon rare tbf. just look at feebas or spiritomb or honey trees or regis or literally just "buy another game"

At least those have worldbuilding and lore explanations and add to gameplay instead of removing. They have an appeal, even though it isn't mine. What exactly's the appeal of throwing until you catch? It's objectively a step down from a wild battle in my opinion.

Now you're just repeating insults you've seen before. It's retarded that you ask the question and then every answer you get you have some reason that it's not good enough. Anyone with a normal brain knows the answer and doesn't need to ask it in the first place anyway.

The safari zone has no worldbuilding or lore behind it? A completely different way to fight and capture pokemon is removing features? baka my head

YouTube-addicted zoomers dislike Gen 2 because they were told it was the smart thing to do, they were ignorant enough to believe it and now too stupidly prideful to admit their mistake. The one who started this shit just wants easy fame for being a contrarian because he is a desperate loser that can't make something genuinely interesting. And the discorders just want to rile up /vp/ because they are sad sacks of shit with no life so making others miserable makes them feel better.

Everyone who needs any of this explained has shit for brains.

You can just tell how hard they stretched just to find something to hate about Gen 2. The list they made for Gen 1 was pretty terrible too but at least that list mostly focused on real glitches (even if most were edge cases that noone gave a shit about and their point of OHKO moves being only on slow pokemon is actually an example of Gen 1 having competent balance). They clearly had no idea what they were even saying with this Gen2 list

>>54137784
tbf my understanding is that the guy who made those videos actually likes GSC, but only made those videos to highlight the changes they'll make in their ROM-hack.

the effort put into making Kanto could have conceivably been put into sprucing Johto

Kanto is merely a spectacle and adds nothing to the game besides nostalgia, a connection to the past.

Yeah but that's because the entire region was originally supposed to be Japan. It's not like there was a fleshed-out Johto as we know it with a much smaller Kanto. It also featured "Hoenn" and "Sinnoh".
