I'll plant a berry here... and one there... and... [ #27 ]
Black and White Weekly Poll #27 → Poll Index → Previous Poll http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/6/6f/AllTreeSprout.pnghttp://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/4/47/PechaTreeTaller.pnghttp://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/6/69/PechaTreeBloom.pnghttp://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/4/43/PechaTreeBerry.png How do you feel about the lack of berries in the Unova region?Although you can get berries in the Dream World to grow - you can't grow berries in the Unova region. However, you are given a berry everyday if you complete the task at village bridge, as well as a berry given to you by each ranger you face. There's probably other ways but I can't think of them right now, but that's not the point! What matters is that there definitely is a lack of berries in the main Unova region. Would've you liked to have specific places set out to grow berries in the Unova region itself?http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/4/45/Ani507MS.pnghttp://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/6/6b/Ani577MS.png - Black and White Moderation Team. |
I think it's a shame they removed berry patches :(
I think they should have had berry patches in White Forest and Black City at least :) -Totodile42 |
Uh, where's the poll?
Edit: Never mind, I see it now... OT: I find it annoying to say the least. Sure, every PokeRanger gives you one, but there are usually only a few per route and they are the only sources of many berries. They seem practically extinct now. How could they have left such a key aspect out of the game? |
I don't really grow berries, so it doesn't affect me that much. But I think they shouldn't have removed the berry patches, such a shame.
|
I never used berries much, I found more use for other hold items, I didn't do much online battling either, which is what other people seem to use berries more for.
|
I wish they had more berry patches. I remember in my Pokemon Ruby (Before the internal battery ran dry) when everyday I would water and/or pick the berries I had planted. I always had my special spots for growing berries as well. Mainly the Berry Master's house and a few other locations. I then did this with Emerald. It is weird how much there is a lack of berries. I can't just heal my Pokemon with them now and expect myself to have lots more. It'll probably be better one the Dream World comes out though. I wonder what the watering can would be called though. It'd probably be based of a water type no doubt.
|
It's quite annoying, considering it's really hard to find all those useful berries, which say put up one of your stats in a pinch, or blocks a super-effective hit, which completely sucks for me. I want some of those berries for all my Pokemon! :o The worst part about the lack of those berries, is that all your NPC foes in the Subway have them, and you don't have access to them. :(
|
It's terrible. :( Berries are one of my favorite hold items, and making them hard to find is stupid. Hopefully the third version will add berry patches.
|
I still get tons of berries the same way I got berries in Gen IV I cheat XD
|
I wish we got Berry Pots like in HG/SS, that was awesome, an oran berry whenever you needed it.
|
THERE SHOULD BE BERRIES!1!!!!!1!1111! /rages
It would have been so cool to grow berries according to seasonsss.. Seriously, why would you take it out of the in game right as you add season??? Doesn't sound very logical to me! Yeah I miss berries and I can't plant them without my wifi, and it would have been pretty amazing to grow them with the seasons. I would have loved to put those veggie gardens in Mistralton to some use D:< |
It's much harder to obtain berrys now which is bad because I used to enjoy picking the berrys from the trees :(
|
I don't care. I never used berries and I wouldn't even if I could. Buying a cheap Hyper Potion is better imo.
|
I've never ran out of berries. If you really need some, go catch some damn Pokemon that hold them.
So I don't think there is a lack of berries. At least, not for me. |
I'll just grow berries on Dream World, not a big deal.
The berry pot in HG/SS was useful, but it was limited. You can grow tons of berries on Dream World, so it's kinda better that way. It's sad from an aesthetic point of view though, I miss seeing live berry patches in the game. Also, didn't Ruby and Sapphire introduce berries to the game? If Black and White are leading up to a remake of R/S/E, then I don't understand why berries aren't in the game. =( Oh well. |
I hardly ever use berries, so I'm okay with it.
|
I wished that there were berry patches so that I could plant some of them. It would make things so much more convienent - and not require some sort of connection to the Internet!
|
it kinda makes me mad because i make quite a bit of mistakes normally while ev training and i now have a very limited supply of berries to fix those mistakes. at least until the dream world opens. if it does.
|
I rarely grew berries in Diamond but I do wish that there were growing patches so I at least had the chance to grow them.
|
I barely grew berries anywhere in the past games, so I don't care that much. I usually use medicine for status healing instead of berries, so it isn't a problem.
Plus the region is based on New York, so that's probably why you can't grow berries. |
I wish they just included the Berry Pot. I don't grow berries often, so that was perfect. But it doesn't really matter that much to me.
|
I'm honestly not too bothered tbh. when I think of berries I think of making pokeblocks/poffins for contests, but seen as they're gone now, they're pretty useless, except status curing berries, stat boosting berries or attack weakening berries.
|
i wished they had special plots in unova to grow berries. like in gen 3/4
that would be nice. even though berries don't do much in this game it's nice to no i have a berry to cure status problems. |
I don't really care tbh. I was a berry head in Platinum trying to get all the flower shop accessories, I only have Watme left. Since they aren't conditions in Unova, I see no reason for berry planting in-game really.
|
As with the lack of HMs, it doesn't bother me. Berries are helpful, but so are the numerous other items. On top of that, trainers randomly give you berries, so that always helps.
|
I wish you didn't need Dream Wold to grow berries at least. Sometimes I mess up while EV'ing, and I need the EV reducing berry to fix it. You can't even make Pokemon hold berries by Poketransfer. Right now, GL is down, so I can't afford to mess up.
|
Never really cared for berries in ANY game, even the Hoenn games.
Only grew them for contest accessories. Would like the EV reduction berries. Tho have yet to do much variety in EV training stuff. Status cure berries are easy enough to find. Except when I goof and Bug Bite the berries. |

Berries were just a spare way to heal my Pokemon in the other games. I used to just gleefully pick all the berries, leaving bare patches of dirt across other regions. So I don't miss the act of growing them. (Every time I tried to grow berries, I just plain forget about them.) It is nice to still get some berries in the game, but I don't really need them. Quote:
|
It most definitely sucks that not a lot of berries are around in B/W. Unova really needed berry planting spots. I also hate the lack of EV reducing berries because my Samurott gained way too many Attack EVs and not enough Special Attack EVs.
|
I never really used any berries in prior games so the lack of them doesn't bother me in the least. If anything, I vastly prefer it because I don't have to run past a bunch of berry patches and feel guilty for never planting anything. I'd just forget about it when I planted anyway so there was never any point for me.
|
The complete lack of EV reducing berries in the game is a disaster. I already have a broken Zekrom, and I can say with confidence that I'm going to have a broken Reshiram and shiny Emboar by the time I've finished playing through Black, unless I, what, never use my starter?
I don't care so much how you get the berries, as long as you CAN get them. I'd even buy them for 9800 a piece if I had to. |
I was bummed over the lack of berries and not being able to plant them. I wish they were still around, I went on berry planting sprees occasionally. There's only so many Rangers to get berries from and I haven't used Dream World yet, so I don't know how that works out.
|
The lack of berries in this game really frustrates me. When I EV train I tend to make mistakes so in this game I'm pretty much screwed since there are no berries that can reduce EVs. Hopefully With the dream world they will offer more varieties of berries!!!
|
I'm disappointed in the lack of them especially seeing how Eastern Unova is suppose to be futile unlike Kanto where most of it was rocky and not good for growing berries.
|
It's actually kind of ironic. Before the release of BW I was playing through Emerald (out of boredom tbh), and legit got addicted to planting/picking berries. I was so excited to be able to in the new games, BUT NO.
|
Meh. No biggie for me, since I rarely use them anyway.

And it's illogical to require "farmers" to have "Wi-Fi" just to grow crops. It sounds absurd in real life, and it sounds absurd in Unova. You don't just "dream" about growing Berries and expect a harvest in a week! -_- The inclusion of vegetable gardens in Mistralton makes this glaring omission of Berries a tragic What Could Have Been. >.< Quote:

But yeah. I HATE that the Berry Patches and Mulch were removed from the games and restricted their growth to online, which can really screw up players who prefer solitary play and lack reliable Internet access where they live. I mean, I've grown those things at the Berry Master's garden lot since my early Sapphire days. I was so devoted to raising them, I spent many several-minute sessions just watering the things (this was before I learned that they must be watered once per stage >_>). When I gradually learned about how DPPt introduced the mulch concept AND new Berries, and when HGSS later tried to compensate for the Apricorn overgrowth/Berry Patch loss with the Berry Pot invention, I got excited because it really felt like Pokemon was aging appropriately, building upon unique features of past games. Come BW, and I hear the online restriction, becoming disappointed. I can understand the Dream World having minigames and stuff to bolster the online experience, but can we at least have growable Berries in-game? Apparently, I've heard that in Unova, you can get one per day via Village Bridge sandwich tasks and by battling Rangers, but this is peanuts compared to prior games. Excluding the Lum and rare Berries (Spelon, Pamtre, event Berries, etc.), with reasonable watering, one could hope to obtain 2-5 Berries on some families within hours. Add to that idea that you can plant more than one Berry in a berry lot, and that number increases to a grand amount. Even in Gen 4, Spelon Berries can yield 15 Berries in under 3 days, something unheard of in Gen 3! So in conclusion, I would prefer the full-fledged return of Berry Growth IN-GAME and partially dependent on Season, with many Berry Patches available (presumably at the Berry Master's house) in Unova or future regions, not this sandwich-making method crap. I'll reserve total judgment as I haven't played BW yet, but from the way the BW Berry mechanic is sounding, the Generation 3 (and even 4) games seem way better. I'm still holding out hope that Gray Version corrects this, or the RS remakes do. |
What are you guys even talking about? You can plant berries south of Skyla's Gym, in fact you can plant a butt-ton of them down there.
EDIT: I might as well add that you can really only plant things in the spring and summer, maybe the fall too but not winter so if you want to plant stuff, change the month on your DS and you will be all set. |
EV training is now a nightmarish process without the stat-correctors! Crush an Emolga when you were expecting an Audino, and you've blown out that Golurk you were training up for the past 49 levels!
|
There isn't that much of a lack of berries, because the games is full of rangers which then if you beat them you get given a berry and some cash as a reward.
I must admit it would be nice if there were some berry patches in Pinwheel Forest. And where do the people in the battle subway get all of the 'useful' berries from, there in the same reigon :o |
I'm actually a bit upset about not being able to plant berries anywhere around the region.
I always thought that it was a little fun but now you can only really get berries from the Ranger people who give them to you. :( Sure, there's the Dream World but it's not the same. It's too bad they took the feature out. It never hurt anybody. I hope they reintroduce it in a future game. |
I think it's ridiculous, as you need certain berries for competitive battling (- Stat Berries). It's hard to EV Train without access to those.
Don't know what possessed them to remove it. |
I liked that in R/S/E (I think ...) they had a little "Berry Farm" sort of area in the game. I would have liked too see that. But with the removal of Contests, I haven't had much use for berries.
|
After using the DW and finding berries there, I actually don't mind that there any to "find" other than ones given to you. In fact, if you could obtain them in the region too, there would be too many! :(
|
I'm not particularly bothered. I don't usually use berries.
|
What's the point of having berries in the games at all if you have to grow them in the Dream World and sync them into your game? It's the use-it-and-lose-it strategy. Really, I think it's sneaky marketing.
|
I'm very disappointed in the fact that you can't get the EV reducing berries in the game. All you can get them from is the Dream World but not everybody's internet will let them access it (like mine for instance). Now if I make one mistake with EV training I'm stuck with it. >_< I'd really like to re-train my starter and the other Pokemon I used in-game too, but the absence of the berries makes it so I can't.
|
I can't stand not having berries. I use them a lot during my EV training and for making my Pokemon happy so they can evolve. I wish they would have added more berries.
|
my favorite game for berries was ss, I liked carrying around berry pots a lot more than constantly traveling from berry patch to berry patch
