Dangit Mom! Stop buying me worthless berries!!
 
If you're like me and use your mom to save funds for you, you'll know by now that she's find of buying you rare berries in bulk. I'm not sayingthat they're useless, but I'd much rather have Hyper Potions, Moon Stones, and Repels like she bought for you in GenII games, not just an extremely situational hold item. XD

Anyone else feel the same way?

Kavii April 21st, 2010 8:22 PM

My mom has the same problem as your mom, too. The majority of the things she has bought for me has been berries, berries, oh yes and more berries.

BUT!

She's also bought me a Moon Stone, a Silk Scarf, a Choice Scarf, and a Muscle Band.

R3D April 21st, 2010 8:24 PM

She's proabably buying lap dances with my money >_>

Dudypokefan89 April 21st, 2010 8:32 PM

I have been mostly getting berries too. sometimes i fly there and get extra money. but she works fast. My mom must stand inside the store waiting to get enough money, cause after battles, its RING RING "oh i spent your money on stuff, sorry" i never use the berries that much anyway.

DarkAlucard April 21st, 2010 8:32 PM

Well, if at least she bought more useful berries i'll be happy, but i've like 50 of the same useless berries haha

RemEngel April 21st, 2010 8:38 PM

This is why I told her to let me manage my own money. I actually found some of the berries useful when I went against the Elite Four, but other than that they just take up space in my Berries pocket. I've only gotten a Moon Stone once out of alllll the times she spent my money. -_-

Uecil April 21st, 2010 8:38 PM

At first I liked it when she bought me berries, but now it's getting annoying because I would like it better if she bought me some pokeballs instead,
ya know something not edible XD

rocky505 April 21st, 2010 9:11 PM

At least these berries are easier to get then in DPPt.

Clefairies April 21st, 2010 10:12 PM

Well, the last few times I have played... She has rung me every 5-10 minutes ;-;

She has bought me a Moon Stone though, which will come in handy later. So not all bad I guess.

Polizard April 21st, 2010 10:46 PM

I found the berries quite useful especial during early game play

SoulNuva April 22nd, 2010 2:29 AM

The berries are useful during the early stages of the game, but starts getting repetitive after like... say, 100 times?

Though if I don't want her to buy anything, I just don't pick up the items she buy.

.тαмєя April 22nd, 2010 3:38 AM

Well at least there easier to get than D/P/Pt xD

RelentlessRamenRaider April 22nd, 2010 5:46 AM

@ Soulnuva - She still buys you stuff no matter what: you just have to keep talking to the delivery guy.

ANd yes, I am extremely livid at the fact that she buys those berries. I wish it were more oran, sitrius, or friendship affecting berries.

Neil Peart April 22nd, 2010 5:48 AM

I have a simple solution - stop letting your mom save your money.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ April 22nd, 2010 8:44 AM

I started getting too many calls and berries from the woman. Then I stopped picking them up at the Mart. Problem solved.

EJ April 22nd, 2010 8:53 AM

When I first played Japanese HG I didn't know she had my money....so I never picked up the berries....and as a result she never called me again. =]

morrison April 22nd, 2010 8:53 AM

lol I sold the berries when I had 30 xD

Tanaie April 22nd, 2010 8:55 AM

Gaah! D: That always drove me crazy about her...
Like honestly, one time she called me about 7 times in one hour, and all she got me were stupid berries! D:<
GAAAAAAAAAH! I don't want berries! Stop spending my money and get a job woman. D< </3

NeonMewtwo April 22nd, 2010 9:04 AM

In HeartGold, she would call me almost after every battle. So whenever I see her calling, I walk into a building or just open a menu. When I see the deliveryman in a Pokemart, I'll keep talking to him until he says, "I have no more items for you."

I'm going to call the mom and ask her to stop saving the money.

The Doctor April 22nd, 2010 9:07 AM

Just let her buy u five items and stuff then she wont call cause SHE CANT BUY ANYMORE and u has a bank

TechnoSparkX April 22nd, 2010 9:18 AM

shes bought me lots of berries a fire stone a moon stone focus sash choice scarf muscle band and more i dont mind cause i battle spam alfred

ILoveDragonite April 22nd, 2010 9:29 AM

She's bought me 2 things in all 16 gyms, haban berries and a super potion. Since she bought me the habans right before i was going to fight the elite four using my dragonite....Thanks for saving my sunny from lance mom </3

Kon~ April 22nd, 2010 10:44 AM

She once bought me a Focus Sash between all the useless berries, and I used that Focus Sash to create a FEAR, and I used that FEAR against my friend, and he ripped his hair out when I defeated his Lv. 80 Groudon with it.

So she's not all bad!

Timbjerr April 22nd, 2010 10:49 AM

She bought me a Focus Sash this morning while I was grinding up for the E4, so that's something good. XD

I can definitely use some of the "super effective attack weakening" berries for the E4, but there's still way more than I need. XD

Pazuru April 22nd, 2010 10:52 AM

I don't mind her buying me things, but I wished that she would buy me more Persim Berries and such for my Bellossom. XD; I don't use nearly as many of the berries that she does give you.

Ezio Auditore da Firenze April 22nd, 2010 10:55 AM

Yeah.

Lol, my current runthrough is the first time I never even started using her.

She gets you a few useful items, but only once:

Focus Sash,Moon Stone,Choice Scarf.

After that, I stop saving money.

empty streets April 22nd, 2010 12:27 PM

I waited until mom bought me something useful and then I stopped asking her to save for me. Those berries really are useless!

Shiroi Alucard April 22nd, 2010 12:36 PM

And that Is why I just ignore her calls and just get the items (If I feel like it) whenever I go to a pokemart, but god Da** she Is annoying. >.>

Lt_Nite April 22nd, 2010 12:42 PM

Ugh I hate berries, and to me at least they're not even good berries. Now i don't even pick up what she has for me.

MrGhost April 22nd, 2010 1:05 PM

Yeah, I hate the berries feature...
Unfortunately, the bank is too helpful not to use...

blue April 22nd, 2010 1:11 PM

Yeah, I CONSATNLY get calls saying "I bought you something nice" when it's just useless berry's which I never use, the only TWO things that were useful was a Moon stone & A Silk Scalf, Lol :P

Haza April 22nd, 2010 1:12 PM

Haha! I thought I was thee only one who never answers my phone anymore! For anyone I won't answer that annoying ring. Got me sayin "eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh ehhh, stop telephoning me!" lol

Eeohnex April 22nd, 2010 1:40 PM

How thoughtful of my mom to buy me stuff that most of the time I don't need, like berries. Good stuff. But I still love her. :)

Silhouette April 22nd, 2010 4:10 PM

I've only ever gotten a 'sash and a choice scarf from my mom. Everything else were those berries. :P

MasterLink742 April 22nd, 2010 4:22 PM

It kinda angers me...
I don't want my money spent on stupid berries that I can't remember.

PatJamma April 22nd, 2010 4:32 PM

If she bought leppa berries or lum berries it wouldn't be so bad

M O M U S U April 22nd, 2010 5:33 PM

I for one, love the berries.
I can use them to build a berry-powered bomb to destroy that DAMN PHONE.

Jack Kentnon April 22nd, 2010 11:09 PM

This.

This is why I don't trust that woman with my money. EVER. When she baught a derp doll with my money(back in G/S/C) I stopped. That was the line, and she crossed it. I haven't let her anywhere near my money since.

Melon April 23rd, 2010 4:26 AM

Awhile ago I was going to cut her off of my funds, but then she bought me a focus sash and choice scarf so I was like "^_________^"

Now I just like to see how much money she gets from me, so far she has around 80k xD

ReiXMinako April 23rd, 2010 7:43 PM

I think the berries are useful...god knows Steelix could use a Passho Berry now and then.

AceTrainerSmoke April 23rd, 2010 7:52 PM

I got so many berries, I actually had to put them in my pocket

Guy April 24th, 2010 10:14 AM

When she buys me berries, if they're useful for when it comes to removing EVs or for healing status effects, then I don't mind. It helps me out in the long run. However, for the past few times now, all she's bought me were berries so it leaves me with a blank face asking, "Berries, gosh, why so much?" :|

I won't complain though as she's gotten me some useful items such as the Moon Stone, Choice Scarf, and a Muscle Band too. Plus, like MrGhost mentioned, the bank feature is too good to pass up.

*Meowth V.2* April 24th, 2010 10:34 AM

I hate those super effective lowering berries I constantly get, I don't even use them.
I wish she would get me useful berries like a Cheri berry or a Pecha berry.

I like the fact she storing some of your money just like a bank but I wish there was the option to keep storing money but not to let her spend your money on useless stuff.

The Original Darkwiz787 April 24th, 2010 10:38 AM

I dont see the point of having the bank, it just makes it harder to get money when you want it T.<
