Thread: Make Gems/Herbs Permanent?

I like how this thread came back to life.

I'm still in favor of movie berries of both sections closer together so as to eliminate confusion and simplify the system.

I honestly don't see what's so confusing about having "Battle Berries" and "Contest Berries", as long as you give some sort of explanation as to which is which. I'm all for making Battle Berries reusable, though.

Seperating them would make them ideal for usage in the Battles section as well as the Contests section, though, and if you think about it, it doesn't even seem particularly confusing. For one thing, you buy Battle Berries from the PokeMart and Contest Berries from the Berry Store. You could always put a [Battles] tag after the berries in the PokeMart and a [Contests] tag at the Berry Store, which is a pretty easy to way to simplify it. Besides, you already have the line in the Berry Store about how they can be used as both PokeBlock materials or helds. Why not split them up and put the Battle berries in the PokeMart, and write a line about how those are for battles with a link to the Berry Store for Contest berries (and vice versa)?

It'd be simpler (and cheaper) battle-wise to have battle berries and contest berries separate.

It'd be simpler storage-wise to make all berries the same.

Tell you what: why don't we just make ALL berries battle berries and abolish Contest stats altogether? :D

not even slightly kidding

I like this idea the best.

When's the last time there was even a Contest that used stats? Most of them seem to just say no stats anyways.

Ooh, idea.

How about we have Berries for battling, and Poffins for contests?

Also it should be mentioned that the Berry Store was changed so that all berries are the price of Contest Berries, and this means there are one use battle items costing $2,000. That's more than the difference between winning or losing ANY type of battle (excluding certain tournaments), so even IF that berry makes the difference between winning and losing the battle, you still lose money.

Another possibility is to make it so that Contest berries MUST be made into Pokéblocks when purchased.

Then broke people can't mix flavours.

I'm guessing what you mean is that you can't trade contest berries by this suggestion, so one possibility is to allow trading of tickets or something that can be used to purchase a contest berry that costs X. Otherwise just do Chain's suggest and get rid of attributes altogether.

YES, I REALIZE THERE HASN'T BEEN A POST HERE IN A MONTH, BUT IT NEEDS A DECISION BY STAFF.

you all are idiots, i will decide

Suddenly, tangents, tangents everywhere.

None of the staff have any idea what any of you want anymore.

At the risk of being Facebookesque, if you want them made permanent, like this post. I'll also save a baby and you wont go to hell or something, I don't know.

Still think this, no-one really debated this or anything. But 3 likes has gotta count for something, right? D: It'd just mean we don't have to have two sets of berries, and we don't have to force mixing upon buying and everything.

And Berries should be made permanent, yes.

I guess a like isn't as strong as a post, and since nobody else said anything, I'll swing by and say that I think this is not only convenient, but totally sensible for the sake of keeping up to date. If we don't do what AshK (I think) said and abolish Berries completely, this is the best course of action imo. There'll be a bit of a mechanic change in creating Poffins, but not one that should be a problem.

The addition of Poffins to replace Pokéblocks is probably the most ideal option of them all. Although removing Pokéblocks might sound the easiest option (especially as they are rarely used), it would create more problems with the compensation for those who have spent a lot of money getting maximum stats on a Pokémon.

There wouldn't need to be any changes in mechanics, just in the naming.
