Berry Juice was a fun idea.
It was not a very practical idea. In Gen2 (and only Gen2), a Berry (heals 10hp, sell for 5p) could be turned into Berry Juice (heals 20hp, sell for 50p), via a process where after each battle there was a 1/16 chance the first Shuckle holding a Berry in your party would... mix it with its body fluids and turn it into a gooey liquid.
Doubling the healing power and 10x'ing the sale price sounds impressive until you remember how little 20HP/50p is. A basic Potion also heals 20HP but sells for 150p, and you could make more money by just using the move Pay Day once.
In Gen5, you could sell Berry Juice for 1500p to a specific buyer, but the Berry>Berry Juice ability that Shuckle once had no longer existed and the only way to get Berry Juice was as a held item from a wild Shuckle. So, in Gen2, making sure to constantly replenish your Shuckle with Berries in an average playthrough might net you a profit of 4000p, or less than the price of half of one Calcium.
It was not very practical, but it made the world feel so much deeper. Being able to use Cut on grass or Lightning Rod making you encounter more electric pokemon are the kind of details the games need more of.
