Pokemon Go players have been thrilled by a fan's Berry Garden feature idea, with some describing the idea as “perfect” for the mobile game.
While the mobile spin-off title Pokemon Go has adapted many features found in the main game series, there are still plenty of them that haven't made it to phones.
One of these features is the concept of planting, caring for and growing berries through the use of shrubs. Although berries are a valuable resource in Pokemon Go, players cannot grow their own.

Players will contribute berries of a certain type to certain bushes to grow more powerful versions of that berry and even host Water-type Pokémon in the garden to help the bushes grow faster.
Fans in the comments loved the idea and expressed interest in having more points of interest on the game's map. “I really want something new on the map. This is perfect.”
Some fans have pointed out that a similar concept already exists in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, which was also developed by Niantic. “They had this mechanic in Wizards Unite. 'Seeds/watering/other players buffing the harvest,'” one fan said. “It worked well there… so it's safe to say they already know how to do it.”
