Yes, you read that right. Germans are crazy about Farming Simulator. So much so that it beat out Pokemon: Let's Go on the Nov. 2018 sales charts. I guess there's just something truly appealing about farming to our friends in Germany. I might have to check that series out!
Starting early January of 2019, Pokémon fans will be able to take part in a Berry exciting event (see what we did there?). Players of Pokémon Ultra Sun, Pokémon Ultra Moon, Pokémon Sun, and Pokémon Moon will have the opportunity to get a Mystery Gift containing a selection of special Berries that have previously been unavailable in the games. The Mystery Gift contains an Enigma Berry, a Micle Berry, a Custap Berry, a Jaboca Berry, and a Rowap Berry.Each of these rare Berries has useful effects when held by a Pokémon, but you may not want to use any right away. By traveling to Poké Pelago in your game, you can plant the Berries to grow more of them. With proper maintenance, your supply of these handy items will never run dry.
Competitive players will be pleased to learn that these Berries can be used in Pokémon Global Link Rating Battles and Online Competitions (unless the regulations state otherwise). They can also be used for the 2019 Video Game Championship Series from the Moon Series onward.
This Berry distribution runs from January 7, 2019 (8:00 p.m. PST), to September 2, 2019 (4:59 p.m. PST), so don't miss out on adding these valuable items to your game!
To get your Berries via Nintendo Network:
Select Mystery Gift on the main menu.
Select Receive Gift.
Select Get via Internet, then Yes, and then Yes again to connect to the internet.
Watch as you receive your Berries.
Speak to the delivery person in any Pokémon Center to add the Berries to your inventory.

Earlier this year, we reported on various European councils that took issue with Nintendo's lack of a clearcut way to cancel eShop preorders on the Switch. Now the German Consumer Protection Authority is jumping in on the action, and they'll be taking Nintendo to court over the matter. Nintendo has already once said that they are following in-step with the law and have done nothing wrong, but I guess a court will be deciding on that in 2019.
