Summary
APokemon GOplayer has shared a Berry Blender concept that would change the game significantly.Pokemon GOfrequently expands its Pokedex by bringing in new monsters and variants. But as well as engaging players with new Pokemon, Niantic periodically adds new features to spice upPokemon GO’s gameplay.
One of the features present inPokemon GOis berries, a traditional element of the main series ofPokemongames. While the main series has dozens of berries,Pokemon GO’s berries are five: Razz, Nanab, Pinap, and the Golden Razz and Silver Pinap berry variants. There are only two uses for berries inPokemon GO,one of them being food for Pokemon defending Gyms as a means of motivation. The second use is to alter the behavior of wild Pokemon, such as increasing their capture rate.

Reddit user BaronVonPingas shared the concept of a Berry Blender forPokemon GO. The first image shows how the feature would be accessed via the game’s menu, while the second image shows the Berry Blender. Using it, thePokemon GOplayer would combine Razz and Nanab berries to get new berries, or larger and more effective versions by combining several berries at once. The third image shows a Pink Blueberry, the result of a Berry Blender combination. Using this berry on a wild Pokemon would increase the player’s catch circle and the chance of great throws.Pokemon GOplayers visit PokeStopsto get rewards like berries, which are also obtained simply by leveling up or completing Field Research Tasks.
BaronVonPingas' Berry Blender concept has been received very positively by other Redditors. In addition to the praise in various comments, one player recalled the existence of a similar mechanic inDiablo 3where players combine low gems to get better gems. Several players also commented on otherfeatures they would like to see inPokemon GO, such as secret bases. Another creative idea suggested in the comments is the introduction of fruit tree stops, where thePokemon GOplayer would drop berries.
The idea ofPokemon GOhaving a Berry Blender would eliminate the common practice of players dumping berries in Gyms just for Stardust. Going further, a Berry Blender could open the door to the possibility ofPokemon GOhaving new berry types.Pokemon GOplayers could also get berries recipes to use in the blender via events, by challenging Gyms and spinning Photo Discs. ThePokemon GOcommunity is always sharing creative ideasfor the game. As Niantic is constantly working on new features forPokemon GO, players hope one day these ideas will make it into the game.
Pokemon GOis available on Android and iOS.
