'''Baoba''' (Japanese: '''バオバ''' ''Baoba'') is a [[non-player character]] that first appeared in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. At that time, he was the owner and warden of the [[Kanto Safari Zone]] in [[Fuchsia City]] and was known simply as '''Safari Zone Warden'''. (Japanese: '''園長''' ''Park Head''). He also used to be nicknamed '''Warden Slowpoke''', due to his vacant look. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, it was revealed that the warden had built a new {{safari|Johto}} west of [[Cianwood City]].

The warden plays the same role in each of {{game5|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. He is first encountered in his house east of [[Fuchsia City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]. When spoken with, he can only mumble: the [[Gold Teeth|false teeth]] he wears have been lost deep in the Safari Zone. If they are returned to him, he will reward the finder with {{HM|04|Strength}}.

To encourage interest in the Safari Zone, the Warden runs a special promotion. Pokémon Trainers who are able to locate the Secret House at the far end of the Zone within the allotted step limit were given {{HM|03|Surf}}. This Hidden Machine is required to progress to [[Cinnabar Island]].

The locals of [[Fuchsia City]] nicknamed him "Warden Slowpoke" because of his vacant look similar to that of a {{p|Slowpoke}}. Despite this, he's actually very knowledgeable about Pokémon. He takes care of all the Pokémon in the Safari Zone and Zoo, and has a large collection of Pokémon [[Fossil]]s as well. The warden is good friends with [[Koga]], the Gym Leader of Fuchsia City. Koga will sometimes patrol the Safari Zone as security.

Three years after the initial defeat of Team Rocket, Baoba closes the Safari Zone and goes traveling. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} the Safari Zone simply cannot be accessed; however, in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} a [[Pal Park]] is in its place. It is stated by Baoba's grandchild that Baoba's son runs the Pal Park. On his travels, Baoba decides to open a new Safari Zone in Johto; the site he chooses is at the northern end of {{rt|48|Johto}}. As part of the games' plot, the player will meet with Baoba on {{rt|39|Johto}}, who promises to inform the player as soon as the Safari Zone is open for business. He will call, announcing the opening of the Safari Zone, once [[Amphy]] the {{p|Ampharos}} of the [[Glitter Lighthouse]] has been healed.

I decided to go overseas to learn the newest technology and open a state-of-the-art Safari Zone in Cianwood. It may be more that a coincidence that we are chatting. Why don't we register each other's numbers in the Pokégear? I can give you a call once the Safari Zone is open before I call anyone else!"''
