Why were drinks (Soda Pop; Lemonade) nerfed in Sun/Moon?

I feel like they wanted people to use Potions more for some reason? Especially regular and Super Potions, since Hyper Potions got nerfed

They probably did it to encourage people to use Poke Pelago more and grow berries.

Late game, there's no reason to use any healing items other than Revive, Full Restore, Lum Berry, and Sitrus Berry.
Early game, However, it's now worth using Super Potion and nothing else.
Still mad about the drinks nerf and the stats up item buff tho.

They scaled them to the cost more to make it more retard proof instead of teaching children to look at things like the price per pound/kilo when shopping.

God I hope the poke pelago returns. Having 999 sitrus and leppa berries to toss around while SOS chaining is a beautiful thing.

Who am I kidding? After USUM, they're never coming back.

Because in previous games they were cheaper than regular Potions but restored more health

A Lemonade cost 350P and restored 80 HP
A Super Potion cost 700P but only restored 50 HP

Ever since FRLG i would always stock on Lemonades and almost never bought regular Super Potions. Kind of glad GameFreak finally noticed this. Better late than never I guess.

Oh, and worth adding is they nerfed Hyper Potions for a similiar reason. Unless the player solo'd the whole game with the starter, an endgame Pokemon would rarely go above level 65. The old Hyper Potion, which restored a whopping 200 HP, would thus easily last you until the very end of the game, making the much more expensive Max Potions completely pointless. Now they only heal 120 hit points which is more balanced and fair.

More like utterly pointless, considering moomoo milk heals 100 and it's basically free in s/m.

I always thought that the better efficiency of foods over potions was balanced by them being basically novelty items with scarce availability, but then in gen5 they just started basically forcefeeding you foods that are much better than the potions and are fucking everywhere, so eh.
