10 Overpowered Video Game Exploits You Won't Believe Are Real
6. Infinite Safari - Pokemon Red and Blue
If you were to ask an average Pokemon player about the hardest Pokemon to catch, they would probably name one of the legendaries.
However, those who have played the original games remember that the Safari Pokemon pose a much greater challenge, as their spawn rate is quite low and you only have 500 steps to catch them before you're thrown out of the Safari Zone and you have to buy another attempt.
Luckily, there is a way to give yourself an unlimited time at the Safari Zone by learning one simple trick.
Since the time limit at the Safari is counted in steps and you trigger Pokemon encounters by walking into tall grass, there seems to be no way to catch Pokemon without continuously exhausting the limit.
However, it is secretly possible to trigger Pokemon fights without taking a step by changing the direction your character is facing while inside the grass.
Switching direction doesn't count as taking a step, so using this method you can move into the right grass spot and then keep shimmying around until you get the Pokemon you want!
Now you don't have to spend as much time and money catching them all!
