God I love berries in pokemon, they're great on so many levels
>Useful consumable items in battle that offer a variety of beneficial effects, like healing, softening damage or raising stats
>Useful as pokeblock/poffin ingredients outside of battle, with each berry having a different flavor and feel so there's actually an element of strategy to it for cooking enthusiasts
>You can grow them at your own leisure, with each berry having different watering requirements depending on their growth cycle, so there's an element of skill to it for gardening enthusiasts. Gen 4 even lets you further optimize this with Mulch, and don't even get me started on how crazy Gen 6 berry growing can get.
I could genuinely go on, I feel like Berries are an under appreciated facet of the series, they're one of the most fleshed out side mechanics that weaves perfectly into basically every other part of the games both in and out of battle, but I never see anyone talk about it.
So let's change that
Anyone have any cool ideas for how the series could further flesh out Berries?
