For some reason I ALWAYS forget you're not English, Tas. xD

I'm not even British my heritage xD.

You can never see your own FSZ, and what FSZ you have is tied to your 3DS friend code. Switch 3DS and your code will change, so your FSZ that people see will change, but the ones you see will never change. And the opposite is also true, if you play both X and Y on the same DS your FSZ won't change.

I know playing two on the same machine won't change. But I really don't know about playing one on multiple machines. You're saying that I won't lose any Friend Safaris that I've already acquired, even if I go to a 3DS that doesn't have those Friends? Does this mean that you could theoretically acquire more than the 100 possible Friend Codes by simply changing to another machine and adding more? Or, for that matter, would wiping a Friend delete their Friend Safari information? That seems way too open for manipulation/exploitation, so I think it has to be tied to the 3DS's Friend's List.

And as far as FSZ Vivillons go, the Vivillon that shows up is based on YOUR region, not their's. I know this because I have a friend from Singapore, and all I see is Polar (Eastern Canada/USA, Norway, Sweden).

It seems you're right. I thought, since I had only ever seen a Meadow Pattern (from Viola), that Meadow was my Pattern. Turns out that I'm actually a Modern Pattern area guy. Just evolved a Spewpa to be sure.

So Viola uses one you can't catch yourself. That's rather mean.

I meant, as long as you have those same friends on both 3DS' you'd have access to the same FSZ, but if your second or third 3DS didn't have those friends, you'd lose access to them. I think at the point of my reply I was rather tired or had just woken up so I hadn't understood the entirety of what you were asking. And the NPCs in game use the Meadow pattern because it's one of the 2 Japanese patterns.
