Pokemon Pearl Journal: Safari Zone

October 15, 2007

Now with four badges in hand, I went back to the Pokemon Center to decide where to go next. I stored Quagsire, Mr Mime, and Roselia after thanking them for their hard work. That leaves me with three pokemon: Dustox, Shieldon, and Kricketune. Time to do some exploring and catch myself some new pokemon. Sinnoh's Safari Zone is here in Pastoria, so I headed over to register.

Have I ever mentioned my utter hatred for the Safari Zone? No really, there is no aspect of Pokemon I hate worse. I loved the Johto region because it didn't have a Safari Zone. It's just annoying, you can't even get experience as you search for pokemon, you just search, search, search, and then when you find the elusive pokemon you were after, it runs away time and time again. My worst fear in the world of pokemon is encountering a shiny pokemon in the Safari Zone, and failing to capturing it.

The interesting thing with this Safari Zone is that there is an observatory you can use, for a fee, to see which pokemon are in which area of the safari. I saw an interesting scorpion-like pokemon in the far corner of the zone. I paid my money, got my Safari Pokeballs, and took the tram to the area. After wandering for a while, I finally found one. The pokedex identified it as a Skorupi, a bug/poison-type pokemon.

You know what's worse than a Safari Zone? A Safari Zone with mud. LOTS of mud. WHY?!?!?! Oh, the torture.

Anyway, the Skorupi ran away. As did the handful of others I encountered. As my time was running out, I came upon one more, so I threw some mud at it, then a Safari Ball... but no luck. It didn't run though, so I threw another... click! Caught one just in time! I went back in for another round because I saw Croagunk wandering around one of the areas. I found a few, but failed to capturer any.

I was out watching the Monday night football game (which the Giants unfortunately won), and when I got home after midnight I decided to take another crack at the Safari Zone. This time, I saw a large grass-pokemon in the area near the entrance. It's called a Carnivine, and I found a few that I failed to capture. I did finally get one to stick around long enough for me to throw mud at before tossing a Safari Ball and capturing it.

That morning before work, I went back to the Safari Zone looking for an Azurill. I wasn't finding any at all. Not one. I kept walking. Lots of Marills, but no Azurills. Should I just catch a Marill and breed it? No, wait, I don't have the Sea Incense I would need. So I kept searching, and finally I found one! I had to handle this carefully. Azurill are young and skittish, so if I throw mud it will probably run away. Typically throwing bait would entice a pokemon to stick around, but I'm afraid even that might spook it. So, I went with an old strategy called luck. Safari Ball, go! One....it's not going to work. Two... it's going to tease me. Three... click! Really? Yeah! I got lucky, and caught an Azurill!

So, that'll make my team of six pokemon to train. I gave Azurill a Soothe Bell to hold while it rests in its pokeball.
 
Speaking of bad luck...

"Elliot used Bide!
The wild BIDOOF used Tackle!
The wild BIDOOF's attack missed!
Elliot is storing energy!
The wild BIDOOF used Tackle!
The wild BIDOOF's attack missed!
Elliot unleashed energy!
But it failed.
The wild BIDOOF used Tackle!
Critical hit!
It's not very effective..."

Grumble.
 
i remember training my lupunny for def in the caves of iron island but instead of me not cheeking for if i had the macho brace on i actually had exp share held......XD at times like that i have vitamins kept just in case
 
Once I was EV training using my Action Replay, (Like killing Alakazams over and over for sp atk.) and I had trained for nearly 4 hours without saving. The top screen on my DS flipped back for whatever reason, bumped the AR, and froze my game. Didn't touch the game for two weeks after that. xD
 
Isn't the Sinnoh Journey Journal for this stuff? Not to question a Mod, but I made 2 threads like this, one about good luck and one about bad luck... and they closed them and said "Sinnoh Journey Journal" is where this belongs or is for.
 
i dont EVO train, but my friend was EVO training her Flareon. it was at level 100 and everything but then the game corrupted itself. bye-bye level 100 evo trained flareon. :( :t136:

I got one.

IEveryone who knows me knows how long I've been breeding Oddish for the right Hidden Power. It took 4 months to get HP Rock. I released the rejects. As I was EV training it, I used it on a Ghastly, when I realized something; I had the wrong Oddish! I released that HP Rock by mistake! 4 months of breeding...gone.
 
one time I was EV training and forgot about spreading pokerus... bam... did my 19 golducks and 19 golbats............ and no ribbon or crazy stat increase...

happens to all of us since pokemon is, in all actuality, melting our brains.
 
One time, my COM partner in the Battle Tower had a Rhyperior out. I had a Lucario. Our 2 opponents had out Flying Pokemon. My partner kept on using Earthquake.
Wtflip?
 
Eh. Worst thing I can think of right now is when I got like three badges (never saved inbetween any of them) and then someone/something shut off my game accidentally. I had to do allll of it over again. =(
 
Yeah, my friend once accidentally used Draco Meteor on me. :(
(team up Battle Tower)
 
omg thts so unlucky! bad luck man sorry to hear that
 
I'm working on getting a Timid Ditto, I think that'd be the best nature for the Ludicolo I'm trying to get =D I already have a Male Lotad with Leech Seed and Razor Leaf from Ruby (I traded from Emerald and used my Venusaur from Fire Red to breed down Leech Seed and Razor Leaf, since in the 3rd gen Razor Leaf wasn't a bad move to use over Absorb, but now there are better moves in 4th gen for it to use.) So I'm ready to breed and hopefully get a good one to use, I have yet to get a single Lotad with Swift Swim, yet all the coms seem to get them.
