Crystal Engine – Berries

[Crystal Noel 33]

Introduction
This script replicates the berry system from Pokemon. Allowing you to grow items
and then harvest them.
 
How to Berries Work
From the Bulbapieda Article on Berries: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Berry
Much as other aspects of the Pokémon franchise received their most major updates in the transition from Generation II to Generation III, the Berry system was completely overhauled inGeneration III. Each of the Berries introduced in Generation III was given a number, not unlike the Pokédex numbers given to Pokémon, with the first ten in this ordering system having identical or nearly-identical effects to the Berries of Generation II. Several more Berries, found at the end of the listing, are extremely rare, with effects similar to items like X Attack. A majority of Berries, however, find their only use in being made into Pokéblocks for Contests. In the same way most Pokémon resemble real-world animals, these Berries typically resemble real-world fruit (though not all fruit represented are Berries, botanically or in common parlance, in real life). Descriptive tags detail some of their traits, much like a Pokédex entry, which are often shared with their real-world counterparts.
Rather than regenerating at midnight and only producing one fruit, all Berries now have specific growth times – ranging from four hours to four days – and four stages of maturity which advance at quarters of the full maturity time. The Berries can be roughly grouped into sets with similar growth times, yields, flavors profiles, and uses. Berries may also be planted wherever there is soft soil now; a picked Berry plant now disappears, leaving behind soft soil, rather than staying fixed in the same spot forever.
