Fuchsia City: Difference between revisions

The Safari Zone is a special {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} preserve where {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can enter to capture certain types of Pokémon. It is owned by the [[Baoba|warden]].

For {{PDollar}}500, the {{player}} will receive thirty {{Ball|Safari}}. With a large area to cover, Trainers must plan out their destination so as to arrive in time to capture all the Pokémon they want.

During [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, however, a sweepstakes is taking place to find a hidden house deep in the Safari Zone, called the Secret House. The winner of the sweepstakes receives {{HM|03|Surf}}. During [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}} the Safari Zone is not open. In its place (in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} only) is the Kanto [[Pal Park]].

Safari Zone Warden is the man in charge of the [[Kanto Safari Zone]]. His house is located on the south-eastern 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 false teeth in the Safari Zone and became unable to speak clearly. If the protagonist 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 [[Baoba|Safari Zone 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. Koga's daughter, [[Janine]], also trains just outside of the Safari Zone.

In [[Generation II]], Baoba 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 [[Generation IV]], however, the park's closing led to the opening of a [[Pal Park]]. Wishing to maintain the safari game, Baoba opens [[Johto Safari Zone|another Zone]] in [[Johto]].

A Pokémon zoo is located in Fuchsia City, just outside the Safari Zone. However, it is closed, like the Safari Zone, in generations II and IV. There are Pokémon on display, including {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and {{p|Slowpoke}}. In addition, the [[fossil]] that the player "shares" with the {{tc|Super Nerd}} in [[Mt. Moon]] appears here as well. It will be a {{p|Kabuto}} if the player chose the [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Helix Fossil]], and an {{p|Omanyte}} if the player chose the [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Dome Fossil]].

In Generation IV a {{tc|Juggler}} that is found near Pal Park will hand out three different types of berries each time a [[shard]] is traded. The types of berries given to the player depend on the shard's color. There is another Juggler that will trade a shard for berries in [[Violet City]].

The Fuchsia Gym is the official [[gym]] of Fuchsia City. It is based on {{type2|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In Generations {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|III}}, the [[Gym Leader]] is [[Koga]]. However, by [[Generation II]], the Gym Leader's duties had been taken up by Koga's daughter, [[Janine]]. Trainers who are victorious at this gym may receive the {{Badge|Soul}}. The Fuchsia Gym can be difficult to navigate, as both Koga and Janine have installed invisible walls. Janine has added a further step to the puzzle, as the other trainers in the gym all look like her. A field based on the gym also appears in {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}'s [[Gym Leader Castle]]. If playing {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}} on a normal [[Game Boy]], the walls are invisible. However, when using a multi-colored palette on the [[Game Boy Color]], these walls are exposed.
