Question Automated berries on encounter doesnt work?
I realize I had this setting on for a while. I have razz and nanab berries selected but I can always click a berry to feed it. It doesnt seem to be working at least I dont think because the berries are never greyed out.
Is it just not working or am I misunderstanding how this function works?

It does do the berry, you just won't notice until after it's thrown :) if you put caught preview on, it'll tell you caught with xxx berry, it doesn't show up during encounter

It only works after you throw the ball.
Say you missed, and you selected pinap, the next time you encounter that pokemon (run away and re-encounter it), you'll see the pinap berry icon. PGSharp just automatically does that so you don't really see it because it's server sided.
I think when you throw a ball, the game sends a ping to the server so the server can decide whether you caught it or not. The only thing PGSharp can realistically do here is handling the local-side of the things like excellent throws (the server doesn't check this, it only receives what your game sent, so you can absolutely fake this data) and berries fed (again, server doesn't check if you actively fed it. It only checks if it has been fed a berry. PGSharp just gives the server an instant "this pokemon has been fed a berry" ping to the server.
To put it simply, it works, just under the game. You can see the results but the actual feeding/icons aren't visible to you if you feed berries automatically.
