4th Gen Great Marsh or Safari Zone

I say safari zone by far the marsh had no vareity and was just too much of a hassle to get like the three pokemon i wanted from there. I liked the custimization of the safari zone too and plus id rather wait 70 days to get my favorite pokemon then go through marsh hell to get some third rate pokemon

I voted that they both sucked. The Safari Zone was a (albeit customizable) waste of space, and no one actually told you how to place objects; they only gave vague mentions of it (I had to look online to find out). The Great Marsh was a confusing proto-maze of counterintuitive train lines and annoying mud pits. Another thing, true of both locations, that I did not like was the fact that most of the Pokemon could already be found elsewhere in the game (often earlier).

One more minor gripe about the Safari Zone: why do you have to pay to use it even when you own it?

They both sucked, but I liked the safari zone better. But nothing really compares to FRLG/RSE's safari zones.

I'm not really fond of either of them. The Safari Zone definitely held a larger number of Pokemon which were from varying environments, but you could actually explore the Great Marsh and get stuck in mud like a moron. I never really messed with the Safari Zone during the end-game so I can't say how I feel about increasing the types of Pokemon and stuff, but from what I've researched it seems to be an awful lot of trouble (waiting 100+ days in some cases) just to gain the ability to catch a Bronzong instead of a Bronzor. I greatly preferred it when the region's Safari Zone contained both a variety of Pokemon and allowed you to explore a vast and open space like in the first and third generations.

Now the Bug Catching Contest on the other hand, that was a fun park-based activity ;D

The only thing I liked about the Safari Zone is the infinite time, and that's about it. Neither of them really interested me. Nuff said.

I like them both. The Johto Safari Zone doesn't have the step limit, rarer Pokemon to catch and generally more variety. The Great Marsh seems more authentic and natural, blending in with the surrounding environment of Pastoria City and Route 12. Though those mud-pits were annoying. XD
