==Proper care of Berry plants==
===In Generation III===
After a Berry is planted in loamy soil, a player can ignore it until fruit appears and will most often still get more Berries than were planted, as most Berry trees will bear more than one fruit at minimum. Truly effective Berry care, however, requires that the player pay close attention to the growing tree, watering it often, so as to reap the benefit.

===Stages===
====Stages====
After they are planted in loamy soil, all Berries have four stages of growth, which they will assume after a quarter, half, and three quarters of their full growth time has passed since their planting. Specific messages are associated with specific growth times, and will be displayed if the player checks the plant.

===In Generation IV===
When a berry is planted The soil starts out fully moist. As time passes, the soil will dry. Watering the plant will fully moisten the soil again. Maintaining moisture seems to be the main concern, while growth stages seem to have become cosmetic.
