Pokémon Sun & Moon: 10 Leaked Rumours You’re Not Supposed To Know

9. The Friend Safari Will Still Be In Use

First introduced to the series with X & Y, the Friend Safari is an area based in Kiloude City that lets players enter Type-specific arenas to capture Pokémon that would be otherwise unavailable in-game. The Friend Safari was said to be the Safari Zone for the modern age, wit access to the areas being granted dependent on the Friend Codes of other players you've added.

Since the Friend Safari let players capture so many extra Pokémon compared to what was originally available in the Kalos region, many people wondered whether it would make a return appearance in the next generation.

Fortunately it seems that confirmations about Pokémon Bank being available, along with many non-native creatures being added to the region for new features, means that there will be a space allocated to the Friend Safari. 'Catching 'em all' is still the ultimate goal, and as Nintendo continue to try to push the social features of their consoles, the Friend Safari is the perfect blend to achieve these two targets.
