you know I always thought berries were kinda gay and lame. Not intrinsically so, but they just seem like a retarded thing to focus on, especially when they keep adding more abilities that focus on it. Like, Mewtwo got Unnerve as its "new, busted" hidden ability... that prevents other mons from eating berries... lol
Cheek Pouch, Harvest, Cud Chew, Gluttony, Ripen... all are so lame. Maybe if berries were the only items we had access to but they keep adding things objectively better than berries like the terrain seeds and booster energy. It's just so dumb. either buff berries, buff all berry-themed abilities (AND MOVES, THERE ARE BERRY MOVES, LIKE BELCH AND TEATIME), nerf all other items (which frankly should have been done long ago, item meta is busted as all hell), or make berries the only valid items for tournaments or something. I don't know. It's just really poorly handled right now.
