The Safari Zone: Map, Pokemon, and some Minor Changes

  I decided to add the Safari Zone. I actually wanted to add this in this build anyway but I didn’t really think about where I would put this so the entrance is kind of at an awkward location right now. I’ll probably move the entrance once the second build is... built.

I had to zoom out as far as far as I could so it’s a bit blurry, but this is it. I tried recreating the Safari Zone that was cut out of the second gen games without separating the trees (there’s no lonely sprite of that particular tree and I don’t care enough to do so myself) and without the trash can. (Though if I for whatever reason decide to have a trashcan in the outdoor tileset, I’ll be sure to add it here.)

Basically the story from what I can tell is that the second gen games were supposed to get a Safari Zone. They got as far as having an area shaped by trees and having Pokemon that you can fish out appear when they heard about how badly the Safari Zone can fuck up the first gen games and they decided not to use this map. It’s still in the games though so you can explore it with a cheat device.

Oh and the music is the Safari Zone music used in Heart Gold and Soul Silver. I don’t really like it that much but it seems fitting.

I did have to redo the counter guy since the Maker will crash if I even try to open an event with a gold conditional branch, so I asked for somebody to get me the script that starts the Safari Zone but that’s apparently too hard for people to understand.

The Pokemon

Because there’s only one Zone, I decided to make the Pokemon different depending on the time of day. I lowered the price of entry to 300 before realizing that you could just stand there for a few minutes for the time to change (since every three seconds is one in game minute) so I put it back up to 500.

Most of the Pokemon you can encounter relates to a certain time of day, or there’s something else special or new about them.

The Day Time Pokemon

There’s a 1% chance of... Chansey, but a 5% chance of finding a Happiny. A 4% chance of getting a Chikorita, (not Happa) a 5% chance of getting a Cubone (may just be a placeholder for something else if I decide to do that something else.) A 5% chance of finding a Ponyta. 10% chance of finding a Minccino, Ralts, Growlithe, and Budew. And a 20% chance of finding a Pansear and Meowth. (To be fair, you can get a Meowth normally in a route close to where the Safari Zone is, so I’m making it common but also a slightly higher level than everything else.)

This makes three Pokemon that had a baby Pokemon before they were dropped when they decided that Gen 2 isn’t going to be the last gen. A Chikorita we all know and love. A Cubone that could be replaced someday. Pokemon that can evolve with either by leveling up by day, or by a Dawn, Shiny or a Sun Stone. A fire monkey. And Chansey, because of course.

The Afternoon Pokemon

There’s a 1% chance Espeon, but a 5% chance of finding an Eevee. (And a .76% chance of finding one a Shiny on top of that. AND YET I STILL FOUND ONE IN MY OWN GAME THAT I’M MAKING!) A 4% chance of getting a Cyndaquil. A 5% chance of getting a Riolu, A 5% chance of finding a Farfetch’d. 10% chance of finding a Cottonee, Fairy Type Stantler, Vulpix, and Tangela. And a 20% chance of finding a Pansage and Kotora.

That makes two Pokemon that had a baby form before they were dropped and one that had an evolution that was dropped. (Though rumors are that it’s coming back.) A Pokemon that was dropped altogether. The Pokemon that replaced Honoguma in the end. An alternative typing of a Pokemon. More Pokemon that can evolve in the day time or with Dawn, Shiny or a Sun Stone. A grass Monkey. And Espeon, because they evolve during the day.

The Night Pokemon

There’s a 1% chance Umbreon, but a 5% chance of finding an Eevee. (...) A 4% chance of getting a Totodile. A 5% chance of getting a Gligar and a Grimer. A 10% chance of finding a Misdreavus, Clefairy, Dark/Normal type Snubbull, and Murkrow. And a 20% chance of finding a Panpour and Rinrin.

I think you get the pattern by now. Just replace the Sun/Shiny/Dawn Stones with Dusk and Moon Stones, and “evolve during day” to “evolve during night.”

Fishing

So like I said above, the Safari Zone in gen 2 does have some Pokemon that you can catch via fishing, (Krabby, Kingler, Staryu, and Corsola) so I of course had to do shove those Pokemon in somewhere, and then some.

I just need to make sure that I made all three rods available. I‘m pretty sure I did. Oh god I hope I did.

Old Rod

70% chance of Manboo and 30% chance of Corsola

Good Rod

60% chance of Corsola, and 20% chance of Krabby and Staryu

Super Rod

40% chance of Corsola. 55% chance of Krabby. 4% chance of Kingler. And 1% chance of Dratini.

Surfing

60% chance of Manboo. 30% chance of Goldeen (since it had a baby Pokemon.) 5% chance of Qwilfish (since it had an evolution before.) 4% chance of water type Shuckle. And a 1% chance of Bomushika.

Flowers

I decided to have Flabebe and a small chance of Floette appear on the flowers. I can’t exactly tell you the percentage of them since I had to come up with an RNG event since I don’t know how to make flowers act like grass or water the correct way. But you wouldn’t know that if I didn’t say it.

The minor changes I made. (And one I couldn’t change, but oh well. Exploit!)

Besides the thing where different Pokemon appears during different times of day. (Which I’m pretty sure was a thing since gen four anyway. I dunno for sure but it sounds about right.) I made the Safari Ball catch rate from 1.5% to 2%. The same as an Ultra Ball. (It still didn’t help though! Oh well. I can have a team of Shiny Eevees! All with Frenzy Plant, and Spacial Rend!)

There’s a chance that a wild Double Battle will happen. Since there’s no Safari Double Battle, the game will automatically think of it as a regular battle. I don’t know how to change this but I don’t really care. It’s an exploit that you can use to catch Pokemon that are exclusive to the area without having them run!

I hid a bunch of items! I made sure to add them AFTER I took that screen cap of the map, since it would’ve shown where they are if I didn’t. But I of course had the Item Finder available pretty close by.

Um... I think that’s it. I’ll edit this if I can think of anything else, but at the moment I cannot.
