Hi!

I have not PC or notebook, just I have a tablet. I wanna play with Safari Zone but I can't it. Maybe will a mobilephone/tablet version in the future?

Sadly, this can't happen. PokéHeroes was never meant to be a mobile game. Plus, several features of the Safari Zone need a keyboard. So, no support.

Still, Riako is doing what he can do to make Pokeheroes mobile-friendly.

I don't know much about coding, but a lot of games (Terraria mobile, for example) have this circle thing which is used for movement. Mobile safari could have one of that, and there could be a button to switch between ball and poffin.

Support.

@meme
Yes, Riako is trying to make PH more mobile friendly, but to throw a poffin or a PokéBall, you need to double tap. Many mobile devices have a thing where if you double tap, it zooms in.

Thats not Riako's fault though. And, if needed, a throw button could exist.

@meme, Fern is not saying it's Riako's fault. They're saying that that is a feature most of these devices have, and it would make it difficult to work with.

If there's a throw button, what do you use to aim with to tell the ball exactly where to go? If you aim with your finger, and then throw the ball.. it'd probably miss half of the time.

And are you supposed to move across the safari screen? The full screen isn't even shown on a computer and requires asdw to move. Mobile doesn't have this except on a pull up screen.

There could be an aim symbol in the center of the screen, which would be where the ball lands.

And no, just move the circle thing around to move.

The aim symbol and the throw button could help, but there are still problems. Like, will the aim stay there, or will you have to aim with one hand and throw with the other? What about the 'press Shift to seed up?". Even if he does do it for mobile, it will most likely be on Android Only, as Riako does not know about Apple coding.

Actually, my first every suggestion in PH was this, and mine's a lot more detailed than this one, taking inspiration from Berry garden,
