Berries and Poffins are released!The Contest system is very close to being done, so you can go ahead and start making those poffins for your Pokemon.
Poffin/Pokeblock Creation~You can mix 2 berries together on your own. Two berries from each other person that you're mixing with can be added if you're making poffins/pokeblocks together.
~You are not limited to mixing with people only from your region's starter. Let's pretend that you get whatever you need from the mixer, be it Poffin or Pokeblock. That would limit everyone too much. xD
~Add up bonuses to stats from the berries.
~Top 2 (if bonus equals +2 or more) attributes are what the snack will turn out to be. (i.e. Sweet +3, Dry +2, Bitter +1 would end up with a Sweet Dry Poffin. With Sweet +4, Dry +1, you'd end up with just a Sweet Poffin).
~In the odd case of a tie between different types, you get to choose what type the poffin will be. For example, Sweet +3, Dry +3, Bitter +3. I can choose a Sweet Dry Poffin, Sweet Bitter Poffin, Dry Bitter Poffin, etc.
Once you have the Poffin/Pokeblock type, you roll for the level.
~Generate a random number between 1 & 10. This will be the base level for the snack.
~If you used a 20-post berry, add +1 to the level.
~If you used a 30-post berry, add +2 to the level.
~If you used a 40-post berry, add +3 to the level.
~If you have a special berry, received either from contests or special events, add +4 to the level.
The max poffin/Pokeblock if you're making a poffin solo is Lv. is 14 if you're extremely lucky. Minimum level is 2.
Mixing a snack with another person will give you higher level poffins. Each person will roll for level, then add bonuses. After each user has their level, add them to the levels together.
For example, user #1 ended up with a Lv. 7 poffin, and user #2 ended up with a Lv. 5 poffin. Adding them together will give you each a Lv. 12 poffin. =)
You can mix poffins/pokeblocks with 3 other users max. Totaling 4 players in all.On a similar note, if you make Poffins, and the other person makes Pokeblocks, you can mix together. Just pretend the snack changes to the kind you use. xD
Poffins add bonuses based on the type and level.
Remember you can only feed 12 poffins/pokeblocks to your Pokemon total, so choose wisely!

Berries and Berry TreesBerries are listed in the Items thread. Unless a berry is obtained only by special events/contest prizes, then you can get one by posting the number of times listed on the Items thread. You can obtain a berry by posting anywhere, and don't have to stick to the same town/dungeon.
Berry Trees-
You can have the option to simply post for more berries, or you can take a berry earned and plant it. There will be a subforum for berries and poffins soon.
In the meantime, keep berry trees and poffin creating in your character's profile/pokedex. Once we have the subforum ready, we can use that.When you plant a berry, note in the items thread how many posts it will take until the tree is mature. This is spread over the course of at least 2 days. Half of the required posts on one day, half on the next. However, if you miss a day, your tree will not die, just pick up the count later on.
Once a tree is mature, generate a random number to determine how many berries you got from the tree. For example, if you get 3-5 berries from one type of berry tree, generate a number between 3 and 5.
