    The trick to the Safari Zone was to stand in tall grass and turn in circles. Each time you changed direction you had a chance to encounter a Pokemon but it didn't count as a step.

    Pussy.

    I remember not really having that much trouble on my original run through on red version. I went in and out in 3 times and grabbed quite a number of rare pokes.

    Shinies in the Safari Zone were the best thing, weren't they?

    I had a friend who had 2 shinies in safari zone and caught them both.

    One of them was a bidoof, but still.

    Never had much luck with shinies. Seen maybe a handful of them ever, up to when I was through playing Sapphire.

    Never forget one of the fwe times I ever saw one;

    Shiny Noctowl Appeared!

    Great Ball!

    Your Box Is Full!

    So I finally caught one but it had to be the most annoying damn Pokemon.

    I got insanely lucky and caught a Shiny Machop with a workable nature (Impish) in Pearl, but at the expense of no breedable moves like the Punches.

    On pokemon blue, the very last of the 150 I had to catch was a nidoran male, I just couldn't get the fucker to show up anywhere except the safari zone. Took me hours to corner the little sonnova bitch and get him to stay in his goddamn ball.

    the rarest thing that ever happened to me was catching a sableye with poke'rus.


    i infected all of my guys with it, but i didn't know that it went a way after a while if you didn't have them in a box.

    whoops.

    The renamon though. Either it's a terrifying plushie or a fursuit. Neither of those are good answers.

    I'd say it's a fursuit. If you look under her (I hope it's a woman!) arm you can see where the top and bottom part get connected.

    But at least it's not one of those suits that look like some kind of Looney Tunes character.

    "at least"
