Some Pokeball manufacturers imitated these patterns as a mere good luck charm for a catch (something similar to painting flames on a car, It doesn't make it faster, but we like to think so)
The berry became extinct and its consumers remained as evolutionary ghosts (I don't know if this is the correct way to use the term) as happened with the avocado whose consumer and those who helped spread its seeds were the gigantic sloths, the cactus whose main consumer was the American camels or like the american pronghorn, the second fastest mammal on the planet whose predator was a genus of American cheetah.
