Johto Safari Zone: Difference between revisions

Each active area of the Safari Zone keeps a hidden counter of how many days it has been active, which adds one day at midnight (00:00). After an area has been active for a predetermined number of days, it will be upgraded. Each upgrade acts as a multiplier for one block type within an area. For example, a Plains block in an area with no upgrades counts as a single Plains block point. A Plains block in an area with one Plains upgrade counts as two Plains block points. Baoba ''may'' call to notify the player when this occurs, however, the upgrade comes into effect regardless of whether the call has been received. The upgrades cannot be reverted once obtained, even if the player moves the area out of the current rotation or removes the blocks.   

The invisible day counter for each active area of the Safari Zone is tied to the internal game clock of the system. Playing the game every day is not necessary to advance the counter as long as the game is used in the same system. If the game detects a different clock (either by changing the date or time or by booting the game in a different system), the counter will freeze for 24 hours '''after''' saving. If the clock was set one or more days forward, the counter ignores the number of skipped days, but resumes from where it was before the penalty period. The counter never resets to 0.
