    I am just two pokemon shy of having a full pokedex. I need Kangaskhan and Turos. I stepped everywhere in the Safari Zone and route 18; I still can't run into any of them...:(
     
    If you don't mind some glitchy graphics (temporary), you're 6th Slot item being duplicated, and you're Hall of Fame being permanently screwed, there's alway's 'M, who evolves into Kangaskhan. I've heard there is a chance of your game save getting deletd, so be careful. 'M is a glitch available by doing this:

    Go to Viridian City
    Talk to the Old Man and let him capture the Weedle
    Fly to Cinnibar Islands
    Surf on the side of the island that is half land/half-water.

    Different Pokémon appear, a MissingNo. (advised not to catch), Pokémon above Level 100, and 'M. Catch 'M and level him up. Also, after you catch 'M he'll still be there, catch him again, you'll get a Ditto. So once you've leveled up 'M he'll evolve into a Kangaskhan. However this is risky, so try Safari Zone if you want to make sure you're safe.
     
    If I remember correctly there is no specific place to find those two. They are just very rare and hard to come across.
     
    Just keep trying the Safari Zone. They'll appear eventually.
     
    ..or fly out of the safari zone to Cinnabar Island and surf the East coastline.. all SAFARI ZONE Pokémon should then be available for catching. The advantage of this is: no glitches used, normal battle, normal Pokéballs.

    I got almost all of the SAFARI ZONE Pokémon that way. It's perfectly safe.
    They appear on that coast because the programmers assigned that strip of land/see as "Pokémon can appear". ..they simply forgot to say WHICH Pokémon appear there, so the game takes the Pokémon-which-appear-here data from the last area you visited: the Safari Zone

    This only works in RED/BLUE/YELLOW (and possibly GREEN and Japanese RED and Japanese BLUE, I haven't tried those).. they fixed this "bug" in the next generations of games.

    The Safari Zone is the place to catch them, try different spots. Thats really the best way, they are rare though, so I wish you luck.

    I couldn't get the Missingno. glitch to work on my Japanese Red. No wild Pokémon either, except Tentacool.
