Read description for more information:

Recently I found out in the Pokémon Crystal disassembly project that it's not just the Safari Zone map there is leftover code for in Generation II.

The Safari Zone menu, like the old Generation I Mimic menu remains unused in Generation II as well. It is untranslated from Japanese, resulting in what appears to be mojibake in the English version.

I don't know yet whether this also exists in Pokémon Gold and Silver, but it's likely the case.

Menu locations:
JP Crystal 09:4F1B
EN Crystal 09:4F0B
