berries!

[blastoise786]

ok, this might be a stupid questoin, but like on route 123, when it is raining naturally, does it help the berry grow?

there. laugh at the stupid question, but first answer it.

 

[TRJessie579]

Unfortunately, the rain doesn't speed up Berry growth, only actually watering it will.

 

[Exel 4.0]

it would make sense if it did, but no

 

[Mudkip3]

And if that was true, you could plant many berries in that patch and grow them super fast! But no, Game Freak just HAS to make it unrealistic...

 

[LordFett]

I didn't think watering effects the speed of growth, only the number of berries produced.

Well since there's already a topic on berries (and my question in the official FAQ thread in the sticky forum hasn't been answered yet) I hope noone minds if I ask my question here:

Can berries disappear completely if you don't water them at all? I sometimes get bored of going around Hoenn everyday and watering every-single-berry, so I kinda stopped altogether to get my Battle Frontier team shaped up.

All of my berry trees seem to have disappeared. How long can a berry tree live w/o being watered? Aren't the berries supposed to re-grow themselves? I REALLY hope I don't have the berry glitch from R/S, because AFAIK Emerald can't get it.

If it's the lack of the watering, then... O_O;

My berry trees disappear only when I haven't played for a while. Like, I had a lots of rare berries growing in my Ruby, forget that I should've picked them up, started to play another game... two weeks, *puff!* no berries left.
But if you play regularly the berry trees shouldn't disappear.

ya i forgot all about my spelon, watmel and durin berry AND THEY DRIED UP!


now i cant get them again and i am SO ticked off. now i only have one pamtre berry.

 

[tehbesto]

I play almost everyday, and they still disappeared. Maybe it does have something to do with not watering it... -_-;

 

[Finnmonster]

Or maybe you should sometimes "visit" the growing places, no need to water them. I mean, plant eg. some cheap and fast-growing berries like Razz or Pinap, and ignore them so you don't even see them though you play the game everyday. Are the berry trees still growing in their far places? I guess they're gone.

 

[LordFett]

All watering a berry does is increase the number of berries produced. It doesn't promote growth, or speed it up. It just increases the number of berries produced.

How on Earth do you get the Engima berry?!The berrydex dosen't tell me.

 

[Praetor]

e-reader cards
e-reader support was cut to anywhere outside japan

The Enigma Berry is just a placeholder for the e-Reader card Berries. If one of your Pokemon is holding an e-Reader Berry and you do a link battle the Berry will show up as an Enigma Berry on the other game. There is no legitimate way to obtain an actual Enigma Berry.

 

[messner]

Yes it does help.
