Friend safari grinding

I really love the Friend Safari! It's a great tool for Pokédex Completionists, Shiny Hunters and Competitive Breeders. I don't think it matters whether you have friends or not, because you can just ask around online and find at least 5 people who are willing to exchange FCs so you can get a Friend Safari. If they do bring it back, I'd like to see more variety in which you can get, and maybe more Pokémon per Safari. But apart from that, I think it was a great addition to the Pokémon series.

 

I don't really have many friends who play Pokémon either, but with the internet and all, it's actually very easy to get access to any Friend Safari I want (like the Friend Safari reddit). I prefer the Safari Zone but the Friend Safari isn't so bad. I spent quite a lot of time catching Pokémon there back then because they of the Hidden Ability thing.

Honestly, I don't really care if it's back or not since it wasn't that huge of a deal for me. I think the Safari Zone is more enjoyable.

 

When I first encountered Friend Safari, I found it so great to be able to encounter so many Pokémon in a place I could only access with my FC's. It felt almost magical to walk into a new Safari Zone after having obtained a new FC. Now that I've been playing the game for a longer time though, it has lost its flair. Honestly, I don't really care if it returns or not. Looking back at the earlier games, I think I prefer the Safari Zone over the Friend Safari too.

 

I think that's it's pretty easy to go online and find some people to exchange friend safaris with. It's a great resource for finding Dittos, Lucky Eggs, and Shinies so that's neat.
