Fuchsia City: Difference between revisions

Safari Zone Warden [[Baoba]] is the man in charge of the [[Kanto Safari Zone]]. His house is located on the southeastern side of the city. He lives in a cottage next to the [[Pokémon Center]]. The locals of Fuchsia nicknamed the Warden "Slowpoke" because he has a vacant look similar to that seen on a {{p|Slowpoke}}. He's actually very knowledgeable about Pokémon, which should only be natural as taking care of the Safari Zone {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is part of his job. He has a collection of rare Pokémon [[Fossil]]s. He has recently lost his [[Gold Teeth|false teeth]] in the Safari Zone and has become unable to speak clearly. If the player character of the Kanto [[Generation I]] or [[Generation III]] games returns his teeth to him, he'll give them {{HM|04|Strength}}. [[Wild Pokémon]] appear in the city in a pond behind the Warden's house.

He also runs a promotion in the Safari Zone. Pokémon Trainers who find the Secret House on the grounds are given {{HM|03|Surf}}. It's probable that he's friends with [[Koga]], as the [[Gym Leader]] patrols the grounds of the Safari Zone to keep things safe. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, Koga's daughter, [[Janine]], can also be found just outside of the Safari Zone after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]].

In [[Generation II]], the Warden has left on a trip, so the Safari Zone has been shut down and most of the exclusive Pokémon have been moved to adjacent Routes. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, however, the park's closing led to the opening of a [[Pal Park]]. It's also in these games that the Warden's name is revealed to be Baoba. Wishing to maintain the Safari Game, Baoba opens {{safari|Johto|another Safari Zone}} in [[Johto]].
