Pokémon world locations

The Beta Safari Zone is an area programmed into Gold, Silver, and Crystal Versions, which the programmers attempted to remove from the rest of the in-game world by deleting the entrances. It was intended to be located in Fuchsia City, as its Generation I counterpart was.

Pokémon

No wild Pokémon exist within this Safari Zone.

Items

None.

Area

Although the entrances to the Safari Zone were removed, the warps still exist, so it is possible to enter the area. However, players should not save within the area without a teleporting Pokémon because the exits were fully removed. The area is rather small, with a few tiles of long grass, a small pond, and several other features. However, there are no wild Pokémon within the Safari Zone.

Trivia

  • This is the only Safari Zone in existence to not house any wild Pokémon, due to it being a beta.
  • It is speculated that this Safari Zone was not made accessible due to the discovery of Glitch City in Generation I games. Alternatively, the reason may have been that there was not enough time to program it properly, or else not enough memory on the game cartridge.
    • If the reason for its exclusion was indeed lack of enough memory on the game cartridge, then the Safari Zone in Johto, introduced in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, may have been intended to replace its Kanto counterpart already in the Generation II games.
