Well I have not attended this conversation in forever, but currently I'm not universally against listing Pokemon as available in the Friend Safari (people are right: it is valid and useful information, especially for species that in XY only appear in the Friend Safari), just against listing it as the ''only'' place if there's a more direct way to obtain that species.  The specific example that prompted my post was seeing {{p|Fletchinder}}'s page list ''only'' the Friend Safari as an in-game location, when it's clear that the player is more likely to actually obtain a Fletchinder by evolving a Fletchling (who is readily obtained in the Kalos wild).  Pokemon species locations are generally listed starting from the "earliest" location/method they can be obtained in the given game, so if a page lists only the Friend Safari (or a [[trade]]) as a location, this presents an implication that it ''cannot be caught or obtained earlier than that'', which in Fletchinder's case is obviously not true.  --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 07:28, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
