Post subject:  How to fix the "Berry glitch"

I don't know if this has been posted before, but I think it will help.

::NOTE:: This will require a FireRed or LeafGreen gamepack, 2 GameBoys and Sapphire or Ruby and a Link Cable.

Start FR or LG and go to the title screen (With Charizard/Venusaur in background).

Now press SELECT + B.

Now, start R/S, but make sure you press SELECT + START while you are starting up Ruby or Sapphire.

Now the game will update the Berry program.


Glitch: The glitch is mainly that berries will stop growing after an amount of gameplay, it only works if this glitch has happened, if it has not, there is no reason for using this, Yet. This glitch will probably happen, when it occurs, just use this.

I have done this, and it worked. If you try with a game the glitch has not occured in, it only says "No need to update your berry program."


Note: I do not know if this works for Emerald, I haven't got that version. But they probably fixed it to that one.
Hope this helps! :D

There's a glitch? I thought the berry program wasn't screwed up but then again I didn't use a shark. Did you?

No, I never cheat on Pokemon.
I've read many times about when you reach a certain limit of gameplay time, the berries just stop growing, and the berry master doesn't give you anymore. I did this, and it worked again.

yes it is true eventually in ruby and sapphire time stops no matter what it happened to me at 110 hours

I don't know the details, but time stops, or just berry stops? What impact does this actually have on gameplay, other than the berries, I haven't seen anything different. Well, it does stop, and the way I posted fixed it, that is for sure, Sanctuary, did you try it? Did it work for you?

The glitch has been confirmed by Nintendo. It's got something to do with berries not growing after about a year of gameplay. There have been many topics like this, so I'll find them and post the links here if possible.

Wow...that sucks...one of my biggest hobbies is breeding berries. I already have all the supplies, so if that happens to me I'll be sure to try it. So far I've played for almost 140 hours, so I don't know. :?

You can also do this in Emerald.

yes the glitch occurs in emerald

Then probably this solution will work there too.. At least it does work on R/S, I've done it.

I'll have you know that I went through the berry glitch period and It cleared up on it's own. I never had a chance to trade with someone with Leaf and Fire and about after a year my game turned back to normal. I'm guessing it'll wear off after a while.

I personally think it was pupously done to make people buy LG/FR/E to fix R/S.

You can get rid of the glitch by linking to pokemon colosseum as well, just thought i'd better say that just in case you dont have access to fr/lg

If you have Colosseum and a GCN/GBA cable, its easier. You dont have to go through "press yada yada" and then only to find it didnt work for some reason. I did this with my Ruby and Sapphire and theyre fine now.:mrgreen:
For some reason when I tried to fix my freinds Ruby (which had the glitch in effect) it failed. So, his is still glitched :( :x

As far as i know fixing the berry glitch cant really fail... though i know if the r/s berry program has already been updated, then in the fr/lg/e it will say something like it failed cuz the program has already been updated...

on a side note.. you can also update the berry program by downloading {jirachi} from the Pokemon Colosseum Bonus Disc

A True Story:
OK, Everybody who has Ruby or Saphire should get the berry glitch for sure. Some people though do not have a way to fix the glitch using FR or LG, like me. Though let me tell you an interesting story.

I had heard about the berry glitch before it happened, but I didn't knwo when it would happen. About a month before it happened I just traded with a guy who had the pokevirus on his team. So All my pokemon had higher stats because of this PokeVirus. Earlier last year about a year after I got the glitch, my Ruby Game went back to normal, and I had no contact with anybody who had FR or LG game at all.

And for those wondering about Emerald getting the glitch, it is possible, cause a year after my purchase it got the glitch. I know I'm not crazy cause a notice came to me when I started the game one day that said. "The eternal clock battery has run dry. You can still play the game but events based on the time of day will no longer accour." That's roughly what it said, it stopped saying that about a month after it started.
So my Ruby game works and my Emerald game is goign wacky (it's even having a long loading time to enter a pokecenter, why is that? I may make a new topic about that!)

Has anybody else had this happen?

That "pokevirus" is called pokerus. You are very lucky to have run into it. (more info can be found here: http://www.psypokes.com/lab/pokerus.php )

As for Emerald, I believe you may have bought a defective game. You didn't get the glitch a year after it came out, because Emerald hasn't been out for a year. I suggest e-mailing Nintendo, and they might replace your game.

I've emailed them and they refused to fix my Ruby version, but they said they would replace it.

Interesting, my version was preordered from Gamestop. I'm sure it's happened to other people though. I worked so hard on my Emerald version I would still like to get a duplicate game so one could be a Game Shark hack version so I could get duplicate rare items and pokes and trade them to my regular games (ya know, I want to buy a game just so I can do that)

Now, you guys got to belive me on this cause, even with all my typos, I'm not some fan girl asking for attention, this stuff really happened, both the pokerus (witch is now on my Emerald cause I still have Pokes on my Ruby with it), my Ruby fixing it's self, and Emerald's berry glitch. In my opinion the berry glitch isn't completely a bad thing. If I call Nintendo to trade in my game I'm going to train my best pokes with the pokerus 1st before I give it up!

Annie Mae I do believe you something similar happened to me. I tried every day to get berries from the Berry Master but he wouldn't give me any...(Stingy old rotten beetnick! :lol: ) Anyways I mixed records and then it was fixed :? Not sure how but I didn't do the code...I was also wondering...if you fix the berry glitch can it come back again?

Author:  Krisp [ Sun Apr 16, 2006 5:20 pm ]
Post subject: 

No, it shouldn't come back. ;)

I think that if you link RSE to any other compatible Pokemon game in any way, it fixes the glitch.
