1st Gen You can enter the safari zone for free

[Palamon]

In Pokemon Yellow, it's possible to get into the Safari Zone for free. The only way you can accomplish this is if you don't have enough money to enter, but keep trying to walk through to go in anyway. You will get one Safari Ball, and that's it. However, in Yellow, you can also go in with less than 500 Poke, but will get the amount of Pokeballs in accordance to the amount of money you currently have. Ie: 15 Safari Balls if you have 250 poke.

Did anyone know about this? I find it interesting it's even possible, but only in Yellow.

I saw this on a YT video once before but decided not to try it bc we all know just one Safari ball is never enough lol.

It's only possible in Yellow so players can't softlock themselves stuck at Fuschia City.

A nice touch, but still very hard to return from what would of been a softlock in RB.
Since you get 1 ball, and it's catch rate isn't the best!
