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 in [[Generation 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 {{DL|Battle item|X Attack}}. A majority of Berries, however, find their only use in being made into [[Pokéblock]]s for {{pkmn|Contest}}s. 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. | 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 in [[Generation III]].

While in Generation II, all Berries would regenerate at midnight, with only one fruit available from each tree each day, Generation III elaborated the system, giving each Berry a specific growth time, ranging between four hours and four days, and four stages of maturity which would be reached at the quarter, halfway, and three-quarters point of the full maturity time.

The Berry plant will sparkle when it changes stages. Additionally, Berries no longer grew only in a specific plant that was a permanent fixture in the landscape, but in plants that disappeared when the Berries were picked from them, leaving behind a patch of [[soft soil]] where another Berry could be planted. | ||
This [[soft soil]] only exists in [[Hoenn]], however, and is not present in the [[Kanto]] or [[Orre]] regions. Thus, in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, Berries that the {{player}} obtains can be repeatedly grown in any patch of soft soil, but not in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. However, in FireRed and LeafGreen, many varieties of Berries can be repeatedly obtained in the [[Sevii Islands]]' [[Berry Forest]], where certain Berries regularly fall off trees and [[item#recurring items|regenerate themselves]]. | This [[soft soil]] only exists in [[Hoenn]], however, and is not present in the [[Kanto]] or [[Orre]] regions.
