===Safari Zone===
The Safari Zone is a special preserve where s can enter to certain types of Pokémon. It is owned by the Warden.
For 500, the will receive 30 Safari Balls. With a large area to cover, Trainers must plan out their destination so as to arrive in time to capture all the Pokémon they want.
When a wild Pokémon appears, no Pokémon may be sent out to battle it: catching Pokémon here, as in all Safari Zones, requires sheer luck. There are four options in the battle screen: throw a Safari Ball, throw Bait, throw a Rock, and run away. Throwing Bait makes a Pokémon less likely to run, but makes it harder to catch; while throwing a Rock does the reverse, making it easier to catch but more likely to run.
During Generations I and , however, a sweepstakes is taking place to find a hidden house deep in the Safari Zone, called the Secret House. The winner of the sweepstakes receives . During Generations II and , the Safari Zone is not open. In only, the Kanto Pal Park takes its place.
During Generation VII, the regular catching mechanics of Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! is similar to the Safari Game, with different types of Berry being thrown to make catching instead of weakening wild Pokémon in battle. The Safari Zone now refers to the former Pokémon Zoo in the front, and the GO Park out back.

As do not have the original version of the Safari Zone, the Secret House, or HMs, the games' rough equivalent of Surf, the Secret Technique Sea Skim, is taught to the player's Partner Pokémon by another NPC in Fuchsia City.

He is the only way for a Pokémon to forget HM moves such as or . In Generation VII, the house is still accessible, but as neither HMs nor the Super Rod are in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the Move Deleter "Mr. Dazzling" has moved away to the former home of the younger Fishing Brother on , and now gives the player .

Fuchsia City itself made its proper debut in Time Warp Heals All Wounds, where it was depicted as a deserted, dark-looking place. When her wandered off, chased it to an abandoned railway station.

From Edna's granddaughter , May heard that Edna and Jonathan had once operated a Pokémon breeding Center in Fuchsia City, until Jonathan had suggested that they leave for a while so he could study to become a doctor. Edna, however, had been unwilling to leave her hometown, so Jonathan left for the train station by himself, leaving behind a letter telling of his decision. After reading the letter, Edna had rushed to the station, intending to convince Jonathan to stay, for she, unbeknownst by Jonathan, was carrying a child. Unfortunately, she bumped into a on the way, preventing her from reaching Jonathan in time. Even though she got a letter a year later telling her that Jonathan had died in an accident, she still came to the station every day to wait for his return, refusing to believe that her husband was gone.
Soon after, May, Squirtle, and found the pendant Edna had lost back when Jonathan had left. Suddenly the pendant started to glow, and May, Squirtle, and Meowth unexpectedly found themselves in the past, back at the day when Jonathan had left Edna. Not wanting the lovers to lose each other, May used her Squirtle's to change the falling rain into a snowfall, delaying the train's departure long enough for Edna to reach Jonathan in time and convince him to stay. Just then, the pendant started to glow again, and May, Squirtle, and Meowth were returned to the present, where their actions in the past had had dramatic results: Fuchsia City was no longer deserted and dark, but lively and full of light, with even the train station still being in use. Just then, Ash, , and Max arrived, telling May that her was about to hatch. When she went with the others to see her Egg at the Pokémon Center, she was surprised to see Edna, Jonathan, and Katrina, who were now working together as Pokémon . Due to the past having been changed, neither Edna or Katrina remembered May, and due to May, Squirtle, and Meowth being the only ones having traveled through time, they were the only ones aware of the alternate present.
Later at that night, after May's Egg hatched into an , Ash, his friends, Edna, Jonathan, and Katrina witnessed the "Lights of Joy", where and danced around a tree in the middle of the city, something that the alternate present had lacked.
