The Berry Market
Welcome to the world of Berry Growing, friend! Started up somewhat recently in White Forest, the berry trade exploded with action when the trades of the Forest began expanding into furnishings compatible with 'Dream Housing'. Able to be used in literally any housing situation- Dream World, Real World, or even Caravan, the White Forest is not the only place which sells such wares by this time. The people of Anville often manage to get their hands on particularly rare dolls which would otherwise be unavailable to the public, whereas the Village Bridge has its own market, in the form of toys and furnishings meant for the pokemon areas of Caravans.
Getting what you want from the market can be a bit of a pain however; after buying so many berries from Mistralton, it seems as though it's more money than is worth.
And that, friend, is where Berry Planting comes in.
The Basics of Berry Growth
There are three ways to go about planting berries. The first, and most obvious, is to use the garden provided with the Dream Home, which has enough room for numerous bushes and trees. The second is available only to Caravan owners; Caravans with a standard pokemon towing system actually have the seat backed by a planter, whereas Caravans with engines have a planter behind them with a bonus lighting system above. Gold Caravans even have a bonus planter up on their balcony!
The third way is the most tedious, and meant for those on the go; with Berry pots, smaller plants can be grown and carried around. The limit for carrying pots however is four; not quite as spacious as the six-plant garden available at the start in a Dream Home, or Caravan planter. Heck, both of these can eventually have twelve! Then again, most interested in the berry market have one or the other in the end.
When a berry is planted, it takes a certain number of days to grow and fruit; some take only one day. Others take four! Either way, they always offer a certain number of berries, which can then be stored away or replanted. A full listing of how long the plants take to grow, and how many berries are dropped, can be found right here on the Berry Listing page!
As for what's offered, look no further- Pick a category you wish to browse, and scroll as you will. Note that Dolls are typically available at both the Berry Market and the Village Bridge Breeder's Market; this is because Dolls are typically used both by humans and pokemon, as well as the sheer number of stock available. Certain Dolls aren't available at either of these Markets however; instead, they're either found through certain events in Unova, or available for purchase elsewhere.
