The Safari Zone was so exciting to me as a kid. It was such a nice change of pace, and there were so many exclusive pokemon there.

[@lvl5Vaporeon]

I think my favorite memory of the Safari Zone was actually the Missingno glitch. Mechanically speaking, I read an article explained why the glitch worked as it drew on data that didnt really exist. As a young kid I went "what if I made it load data on ANOTHER field" then found out about loading safari zone 3 into the cinnabar area. Then I was amazed; I can catch all these guys WITHOUT safari balls! I felt amazing after that revelation.

[@TililioChaosLord]

10:05 Actually the gender association of color got inverted a few centuries ago. For the western world, blue was for girl, associated to the virgin Marie, while red / pink was the color reserved for mens, due to the association with military / blood. So yes, meaning associated to colors change over time even within the same culture

Pastel pink was also traditionally the color used on political maps for Britain, derived from faded red British Army uniforms.

Gen 1 Chansey is totally worth using. Special was a stat that pulled double duty so both it's special attack and defense were good. Throw an ice beam TM at it and it'll do work, while also tanking enemy special moves with ease. I think it can also learn Amnesia... so... terrifying. Edit: Chansey can not, in fact, learn amnesia. The rest of my point still stands.

[@Bluecrimson217]

I don't think it gets amnesia but it does get bolt, beam, and Psychic.

[@hiwaretro1567]

Chansey is autoincluded in gen 1 pvp with tauros and snorlax. Those 3 are the strongest pokemon right after mewtu and mew

[@darkninjafirefox]

I love the safari zone because it makes me think about where certain pokemon are from in universe. Like exegutor is a gen 1 mon, but we know they're originally from alola. I imagine that scyther and pinsir are from the sevii islands, specifically the pattern bush. Kangaskhan are found in the wilds of kalos, so they probably originate from there, along with dratini and dragonair. Paras probably thrive in the stable, humid environment. As far as doduo and venonat, i imagine some escaped from the zone and found new spots to thrive. Venonat, in the shady banks south of Lavender Town, and doduo racing cyclists up and down the road This is one of my favorite things to think about in pokemon. Sometimes i wonder if its connected to team rocket, with Giovanni using pokemon found there and it seeming to close shortly after Team Rocket disband

[@brunolinares604]

Not a fan of the mechanics of the Safari Zone, but I like how it contributes to the worldbuilding of Kanto. Exclusive mons there like Rhyhorn and Kangaskhan are considered quite rare in universe, no wonder the leader of the evil organization has them in his team.

[@RaynmanPlays]

Ash actually had several guns pointed at him in the Squirtle Squad episode. As for me, I just assumed that I had missed the episode where Ash had caught all those Tauros and was hoping I'd catch it on a rerun.

[@larrychilders6599]

I always thought they were in a similar boat to Mr Mime where they were caught prior to his Journey , but was unable to use them since he felt like he didn't need them

[@windingtwilight]

Theory time Team Rocket is poaching the safari zone for the rocket corner casino. 1. Dratini is found in the exchange counter and the safari zone 2a. Cubone and its mother is found in lavender town and at the tower after it’s been run over by team rocket and is also seen at the safari zone 2b. Cubone could very theoretically be a baby form of Kangaskhan that’s been poached/hunted by team rocket that uses the bones of the mother to become Cubone in the Safari Zone. Maybe some of the Cubone are some how transported to Lavender through a poachers trade route of some sort

[@gligarguy4010]

23:20 Idk man, Chansey's like the only Pokemon that's able to poitentially stand up to Mewtwo in Gen 1.

[@energeam6284]

One thing I love about the Kanto Safari is how it functions more like a dungeon than in other games, given that it is required to go through at least once.

[@Flirtz420]

Maybe Cubon is found in the safari zone in yellow is bc the kangaskang preserve went well n they bred but for sum reason left sum babies behind or died n this cubons r made. lol Or they could have just loved the ones from the tower to the S.Z

[@joshhankins4763]

I had a parasect on my first playthough. He treated me well. Just loved his look.

[@corbangonzalez4935]

The Safari zone is goated by competitive standards. Chansey is basically essential for any serious team, tauros IS essential for any serious team, and Exeggutor and Rhydon are great pokemon in gen 1 competitive as well.

Not sure if it's relevant to the colour choices but the 'gender' colours used to be the other way round once upon a time Pink is a very bold, strong! Colour whereas Blue is more passive, mellow colour, the Virgin Mary traditionally wears blue. But that all might have nothing to do with the Pokemon creator's intentions 😂

[@MishKoz]

I love the Safari Zone. Every time I do a Kanto playthrough, I either round out my team by catching a new member there, or I catch a bunch anyway to fill out my pokedex and get one of the items from Oak's assistants.

[@MAZZ0Murder]

Fun fact, that little strip of land where you encounter MissingNo. on Cinnabar island? Without needing to do the MissingNo glitch, for whatever reason, the data from the last route/safari zone is stored there. If you didn't catch everything you wanted, just go surf on that strip and they'll eventually appear! 🤣

[@philgoad5587]

It's because they're not counted as water tiles for some reason, so it brings up the last recorded route for the encounter table. That's why you have to talk to the old man for MissingNo. That technically counts as an encounter in Viridian and causes the glitch.

[@Kongpang]

yeah I'm sorry venonat is actually the best

[@mpg272727]

Always did wonder where the Safari Zone got its rare Pokemon from. After all its the only place in Kanto you could catch wild Pinsir, Scyther, Dratini, Chansey etc.. Did they have guys working for them travelling to foreign regions to poach rare Pokemon and bring them back to Kanto?

[@jakemartin2356]

Maybe it's like one of the protected wildlife areas like we have irl. They're native, but only found there and they setup this location as a safe and protected way to catch these rare and elusive mons.

[@OverlordRobot]

I think it's implied that it's a game preserve or nature preserve, either for foreign pokemon or rare pokemon. Also has a zoo outside to showcase rare pokemon.

[@NiallByrne]

Lore wise there is a reason some aren’t found in the wild in the region. Some are not native to Kanto and were brought over from other regions while others are protected species. There’s a reason you find cubone and marowak in the wild and not kangaskan.

[@TheForeverRanger]

Chansey you can catch in Cerulean Cave

[@larrychilders6599]

Probably bred and released there to simulate what Kanto was like before it became Kanto ( hence why you don't use pokemon to catch the safari zone pokemon) possibly in a similar vein to a history reenactment park

[@thijshagenbeek6554]

Rhyhorn, Kangasgan, Dratini, and Scyther could *All* be found here, and they are so damn good.

[@OmegaVideoGameGod]

According to the prototype data, safari zone was suppose to be different more Pokémon were added that were part of the original 191, you could just go to the safari zone for free and without 500 steps, you could battle the Pokémon and catch them without rocks bait so it would have made catching easier, it’s also worth noting before you go to the silph co you had to come here to fight the silph chief which was the one who gave you surf hm 3 he was hiding from Giovanni and team rocket, then he would leave to go to the silph co to fight team rocket and face Giovanni

[@glitchhunter09]

Tauros is the competitive king of Gen I. it's got very few counters and learns lots of good moves.

I was coming here to say this. Tauros and Chansey are major players in gen one competitive. Along side Eggsecutor slightly less so

I did my first ever full pokedex run a few months ago in the gen1 rom hack Yellow Legacy. Some of the Safari encounters where the hardest to get with a few 1% encounters. Although Lavender tower Gangar and the route 23 Eevee & starters were also a but of a pain. Non the less the challenge was pretty fun. Always nice when all pokemon are catchable within 1 game! Also regarding the banned episode of the anime: here in the Netherlands this episode did air in the dutch dubbed version.

[@terrysyvertson9205]

another reason why the safari zone episode wasn't dubbed into English was because meowth put on a mustache that was too similar to hitler's mustache

[@CaptainObliviousV]

Considering 4Kids was known to make edits to the animation in stuff like Yugioh (editing out guns and making characters point instead), I suspect it would’ve been an easy enough change (one that actually happened in an episode of Journeys) , but they figured it wasn’t worth the effort to get rid of the stache since they were already banning it for the guns to Ash and the Safari Warden’s heads.

Another awesome thing about the Safari zone is that you can catch pokemon on lower levels before they should evolve, the Lv.20 Dragonair being one of my favorites

[@ma.2099]

This has always led to a theory that I’ve never seen anywhere. You the player, are just following reds story. Every evolution or encounter and places you can visit are based entirely on the adventures of red. For example, dragonite evolves at level 55 for Red but this is not the same for except trainer, especially those who specialize with dragons, Lance. There are places or even Gyms in the anime that do not exist in the Game because conqticalu, to our knowledge, Red never visited these places. Which is why you can’t enter random mountains or forests around the game, such as the grass outside of pallet town. Red never did, since we play reds experience, we cannot either.
