I have a question for all of you! What are good hunting and foraging spots within the Verdant Forest? I'm trying to save up a bit of money, and unfortunately that means I've had to cut a lot of things out of my diet.

Food in general, for the most part.

I asked my Eevees to make similar sacrifices but they weren't too keen on that so there you go. Anyway, I've been relying a lot more on food I can find myself, but I find I'm still a bit hungry more often than not and Pokemon food really doesn't taste very good at all. Any suggestions?

There's a wide selection of books in the library about wilderness survival, if you wanted more information. A lot of it is basic knowledge, like how to make a shelter with minimal supplies, but there is still enough information about what plants are safe to eat raw or how to cook them until they're safe.

[Like fiddleheads. It's recommended that they're boiled before eating. The same went for many mushrooms...]

I'd be careful with mushrooms, if I were you. There's too much variability to be certain that they're not poisonous. The same goes for anything related to carrots or celery, as it's too easy to confuse them with hemlock in the wild.

Hey, it's a thing that happens to the best of us.

That may be a wise thing to do until you can find a skilled gather to travel with for a while. There's far too much risk, and they can fool even someone with experience sometimes.

[That was why he stayed away from them entirely. :|]
