The Berry Orchard

[Silver]

I mentioned one of these a while ago, didn't I? Yes, well... If you have a berry, you can plant it here and in a few days, more will grow. Only the person that planted the tree can harvest berries from it; however, other trees will spring up from time to time that anyone can pick from. Also, if someone neglects to pick their berries, they'll fall to the ground and a new tree will grow that they don't have any claims to. Of course, all Berry Trees randomly explode once the berries have been picked.

Now, since there are no contests, you can't make Pokeblocks or Poffins out of these things, and the Infinity Potion makes them useless outside of battle... but they make for convenient little hold items. In fact, they're the only way to restore HP or heal status conditions mid-battle. They may be a useful thing to stock up on, especially if you plan to battle any of the future Gym Leaders.

All currently growing Berry trees will be listed in this post with what stage of growth they're in. It takes about four days for the average berry tree to grow.

Berries as of July 29:

Cobuta Berry (Josiah) - Berries x2

Sipapa Berry (Josiah) - Berries x3

Blum Berry (Josiah) - Berries x2

Blum Berry (Neo Zanther) - Berries x3

Corssho Berry (Phonox) - Berries x2

Rawzz Berry (Phonox) - Berries x4

Blum Berry (Phonox) - Berries x2

Orcha Berry - Berries x4

Sipapa Berry - Berries x2

Cheppa Berry - Berries x3

Also, keep in mind that from time to time wild IPA will show up and steal some berries... this is pretty rare, though. Almost as rare as the IPA that may show up. If you catch them in that act, you're free to, well, catch them... you have been warned.

I think I'll pick those Nanarism Berries.

[Josiah]

Nice new area. I'm going to plant my Blum Berry.

[Josiah]

I'll pick the two Rawzz berries. Can we have multiple berries growing at once? If so, I'll plant one of them.

[Giga-Gar]

I have a question about the orchard. Woudn't it be better if you only pick one berry per post so no one picks them all and everyone else would get a chance to pick them? Er, not that I wanted those two rawzz berrys, me being caught up in a stadium match and all. Speaking of which, I should go start the battle.

There's no limit on how many trees you can have growing at once... but you can only have one of each type of tree growing at a time. Like, if you pick two Blum berries, you can't plant both of them; otherwise it's too easy to double your berries every four days. And I don't want to have to work with numbers to the tune of "OVER NINE THOUSAAAND."

I'm liking Gar's idea, too. One pick per post, unless you've got more than one tree growing. You can pick from your own trees. But if you do, no free tree picking.

[Blue Fire Cyndaquil]

I'll pick an Orcha berry, and plant it and my Nanarism berry

[Josiah]

I can still pick all the berries from my own tree, right? If so, I'll pick both my Blum berries and plant one. If not, I'll just pick one.

[Silver]

Of course you can pick all the berries from one tree; you just can't pick from more than one tree at once. I thought that was obvious, on account of Berry trees explode once you pick from them...

[Josiah]

I'm picking my Rawzz berries, and planting one of them and one Blum berry.

[Blue Fire Cyndaquil]

Slippy, use splash on Shuckform.

[Silver]

Um... BFC, you just started a battle with Roxanne. You can't have more than one fight going on at once.

[Blue Fire Cyndaquil]

Right. Never mind, then.

[Saber Knight]

I'll pick a Filue berry.

So, just as clarification, anyone can attack/catch the wild IP's that show up?

[Silver]

Yep. They're fair game.

...And I just lost the game. Dang.
