I personally think it's a bit of a gimmick to get people to have more friends on their 3DS. I've already heard about what happens (and you know very well what I'm talking about, Rotom) when certain people get rare Pokémon like the starters and Ditto. If they made it work with provisional friends too (or just enter a code in the game itself), then I'd find it a bit less gimmicky, but still a gimmick nonetheless.
However, the fact that you don't need to stay friends at least is good to know, as my own friend list contains only the people I know in person. (Hey, I didn't buy a 3DS to socialize. I bought it to play games.) Anyone else is added only temporarily and removed after playing. Also, glad to know my own safari is crap. Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; October 18, 2013 at 01:25:28 PM. |

Nice Dugtrios and Woopers. ;3
I think it's pretty cool from what I've tried so far. I already caught a few Ivysaurs and I'm trying to see if I can find any other rare ones. Pokemandj/Kaz has a good safari. (They both go by the same mii name) Anybody know which type I am and which Pokémon are in my safari? Last edited by Reuniclus; October 18, 2013 at 01:35:52 PM. |

Also Reuniclus, you have Meinfoo and Pancham. You have to be online for the third Pokemon to appear. I have Jigglypuff, Floette and Kirlia. |

Oh look, more reason to call it a gimmick. I'll personally just wait until I can import my Pokémon than go looking for anything in particular that isn't already fairly easy to obtain. I've got a lot of monsters raring to be moved forward. *looks at his full-to-the-brim My Pokémon Ranch* Other than maybe Ditto, I don't really see the point of adding a bunch of people to my list when we'll be able to migrate en masse soon.

I added u guys, but your names dont show up. Also i noticed that i get a stat more often, maybe 1 31iv stat randomly? All i know when i catch a safari poke they always have likes to thrash about, the one for max sp.atk, alert to sounds, ect.

Sure, it's a little gimmicky, but as a way to get max IVs (two per Pokémon) it seems worth it for competitive play. Or at least, it will be worth it when I find someone with a Ditto in theirs. I've got Ivysaur, Quilladin and Tangela in mine.

Well, it appears as thought both Cat and Yoshi have got Wooper and Dugtrio in their Ground-type zones. Crazy coincidence! I'm going to need some more friends, as I've only got 8 different zones to visit, and it doesn't help that I have multiple zones of the same type. If anyone could tell me what Pokemon I have got in mine that would be phenomenal!

Eagles has Crawdaunt and Pawniard.
Luxray13579 has Seviper and Garbador. Yoshi648 has Wooper, Dugtrio, and Palpitoad. My third Pokémon is Palpitoad (same safari as Yoshi). Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; October 20, 2013 at 09:37:23 PM. |

Okay, I've made it to the Friend Safari and have explored it a bit as well; JDxImpetus has Ponyta and Pyroar (The same as Cy) as well as Fletchinder. Riodude92 (whom is a fairly inactive user here) has Dedenne and Jigglypuff.

Does anyone know if the friend safari is based off of the game or the 3DS itself? I have both X and Y, and thought I am nowhere close to beating Y it would be nice to know whether or not I am stuck with Machokes and Panchams for both games in my safari.

Considering I have a lot of friends that don't own Pokemon but show up in my Safari, I'm pretty sure it's by 3DS FC. The third Pokemon is a bonus you get if that particular friend plays Pokemon, so your fate is probably sealed.

I agree with this completely. But I'm not a w- erm, I'm not bad enough a person to go through with something like this. I'm glad that the Friend Safari even works in such a way that you almost always get results of your choosing.
I pity the man who maxed out his "Friends" List simply because his FC brings a Ditto. |

I can't wait to get to post-game only for this. The kids at my college told me mine's is a Poison type... I'm just sitting here trying to think of anything good to come out of that except awesome future Crobats. <w> And then as Rotom mentioned earlier, I believe shinies are even MORE common here now (even thought the overall encounter rate was increased dramatically this game) since it seems way too many people have been mentioning they caught shinies in the Friend Safari. I need more 3DS friends so I can hopefully get all the types. :I

Your Gastrodon gives me nostalgia, I guess, but your FC in general doesn't generate that much win. |

I haven't made that many friends since X and Y came out. I've just accumulated them over time since I've had the 3DS since launch day.
This feature might be gimmicky, but Pokemon has always been about meeting and connecting with people, right? In this case it's just selective and cheap. |

Nice, I would be looking for 31's in HP, Attack, Defense, and Special Attack. He's to slow for me to worry about speed and he's an attacker so no need to worry about Sp Attack. If you could do that I'd greatly appreciate it.

Alright sounds good, not a huge rush since I'm working on other, unsuccessful projects, if anyone wants an Bulbasaur/Ivysaur with 3-4 perfect stats I will be able to kick those out pretty soon. Keep getting clunkers tossed in so that doesn't help on that front -_-

Well with a 31 in sp attack and Speed two stats I'm not going to use breeding is going to be as frustrating as ever because of a lack of a good ditto to breed with. If you can't get it to happen that's fine, I don't have a real use for no gaurd though there is a set for it. The defenses are more important since Golurk is so slow.

I finally beat the Elite 4 yesterday... For those of you on my friend list, this means my 3rd Pokémon has become available (and I'd appreciate knowing what it is)! Now, before X and Y I added like 40 people to my friend list from a thread online, and I now get to see what their Friend Safaris contain! Keep in mind, we all added each other even before we could have possibly known what we had in our own safaris. Turns out I really lucked out!
Here are just a few of cool the Pokémon I have access to in Friend Safaris: Loudred, Marowak, Gabite, Druddigon, Noibat, Shellgon, Mawile, Floette, Whirlipede, Cloyster and Ditto. And I still have 21 Friend Safaris that I haven't had the time to check yet! If anybody wants to "order" a Ditto from me, I'll get on that for ya... eventually.

Gosh, I couldn't agree more. I'm just glad I made friends with all of these people before they all knew how precious their safaris were. I mean, you can still get a Ditto in Pokémon Village, but it's gimmicky because they don't want you to have an easy time of getting good breeding fodder without immersing yourself in a Pokémon community.

Yeah I have some good ones but there are many I'd like to get, ditto being one since I want to breed for a good Golurk and later for a Magnemit but I also would like a pokepark with Golurk and Gorgeogies and Whirlipede. So far no luck on either I admit.

From what I'm told, my Friend Safari is Bibarel, Floatzel, and Poliwhirl.
I wish I could add myself for the Drizzletoed, but...ew. Also, even with all the people I've added, I have not a single Steel or Water Friend Safari. :I |
