Hello, after much work extracting data from the games I've been able to determine the encounter rate for every block, the current data (which I don't know the source of) is only correct in the walking encounters but the surfing and rod encounters are missing time of day distinctions, worst of all, there's a complete separate table for every method in every zone after the national pokedex, and it has many exclusive pokemon that are not currently being displayed, if someone could help me correct all this data I'd be grateful. {{unsigned|SimplyBLG}}

So, the article says:
'The day counter for each active area of the safari zone is not related to the internal game clock. In order to achieve area upgrades, the player must actually play the game on different days to increment the counters.'
But I've been playing Soulsilver recently (after doing a replay early last year and then putting it down for several months), and I've noticed that not only did the active Safari Zone areas immediately upgrade on the same day I booted the game up again, but they are now at the max level with each block being worth 7 points. I tested by placing blocks in every active area to encounter spawns that would verify, so I'm certain they're maxed out.
This would seem to suggest that the game *is* looking at the internal clock, because I am 100% certain I did not play the game on 250 separate days after unlocking block-placing. Has anyone else noticed this, or could someone equipped to verify my testing do so? It'd be nice to have fully accurate info on this and maybe save some folks time & effort in future :> [[User:Driftin Soul|Driftin Soul]] ([[User talk:Driftin Soul|talk]]) 07:13, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
