 :*For Charmeleon, I would say to have "Evolve Charmander" and "Friend Safari" for both games, and leave it at that, since those are the only two ways in either game that it can be obtained.
 :Anyway, this is just one opinion, but I would say to only ever have "Trade" as an option if there isn't another way to obtain it (besides Evolution), for example, this.

+IMHO, I don't think we should list the Friend Safari as a 'game location' for any species, pretty much ever.  My reasoning for this is:
+* Friend Safari is not like previous Safari Zones with a fixed selection of wild Pokémon that you can catch all of; it is not like [[Pokéwalker]] or [[Pokémon Dream World]] of previous games either.  Because ''what'' you can catch depends on ''who'' is registered in your 3DS Friend List (requiring personal exchange of Friend Codes), we can never guarantee that a specific Pokemon ''will'' be available in a ''specific'' player's game.
+* While we obviously do not have a full list, so far almost ''any'' non-legendary Pokémon (including wild [[starter Pokémon]]) can be caught in the Friend Safari with the correct friends registered.  So for Pokemon that are more likely to be acquired via evolution (e.g. {{p|Fletchinder}}), mentioning Friend Safari is about as notable as mentioning that you can acquire a Pokemon from the [[GTS]].

 :I can confirm this one (aside from the fact that Serebii had it, I've tested it plenty of times myself). What I've also noticed, but I'm not sure if this is an always, but two Pokémon in a row that I caught in the Safari also had two random really low IVs (the calculators I used all gave me 0-3 at Level 30 with no EVs, and I would not be surprised if they turned out to be just 0).

 ::The Pokemon always having two perfect IVs is true.  The other part, having two really low IVs is not.  Also, the IV checker in Kiloude's Pokemon Center will also tell you if they have 0 IVs. --[[User:Funktastic~!|<span style="color:#009900">'''It's'''</span> <span style="color:#CC66FF">'''Funktastic~!'''</span>]][[User talk:Funktastic~!|<sub><small><span style="color:#99CCFF">''話してください''</span></small></sub>]] 19:45, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
-== Should Friend Safari be listed as a "Game Location" for Pokemon species? ==
-I think not, for two reasons:
-* Friend Safari is not like previous Safari Zones with a fixed selection of wild Pokémon; ''what'' you can catch depends on ''who'' is registered on your 3DS Friend List.  While we obviously do not have a full list, unlike with the [[Pokéwalker]] or [[Pokémon Dream World]] of previous games, we can never guarantee that a specific Pokemon ''will'' be available in a specific player's game.  It depends on the exchange of 3DS Friend Codes.
-* So far, almost ''any'' Pokémon (including wild [[starter Pokémon]]) can be caught in the Friend Safari with the correct friends registered.  So for Pokemon that are more likely to be acquired via evolution (e.g. {{p|Fletchinder}}), mentioning Friend Safari is non-notable.
