I have to PAY you!?

[zerwey]

Oh ok. *goes to look up*

And nobody will be able to knock me out with my uber Infernape at my side xD. So people stealing meh money won't be a problem.

 

[bobandbill]

In real life, one doesn't let ten year olds wander into casinos and start gambling away as well, I suppose. =P

Such a system of exchanging money would be probably an unstable one, really - but luckily this is the world of Pokemon, so who cares about the smelly NPCs - as long as they can keep giving me money, I'm happy. XD

 

[True Reign]

Of course it would.

It'll create gangs, but gangs are still around. Hell even pirates are still around. XD

 

[Psyburn]

I think it's simply a mechanic in-game, where most rpgs reward the player with exp. and money for winning fights. the reward money is simply exclusive to trainer fights probably to give that "real world" feel.....if anything in this world can be considered real beyond occupations.

 

[Alexithymia~]

You have a lot of money in pokemon. Like in the millions if you save up enough... So. if they did pokemon in the real world they would have to make the fee like 5 pounds not 200.

 

[Artemis]

^ Post above me makes a good point. If we were to pay money I think it would have to be a lot less, since carrying thousands or millions of dollars would be a heavy load. Unless, they accept checks xD

I wonder how the money conversion would work too?

 

[Broleta]

You'd probably have to specify those conditions beforehand, similar to gambling. I doubt battling for money would be much of a standard though.

Poke is not like pound sterling.

Nor is it like dollars.

It is akin to yen, where a value such as 200 is worth very little. Pokemon being a Japanese franchise, this should be obvious to you.

 

[Artemis]

I know that the Japanese money would come down to less, but say a trainer was traveling in America or England, carrying around say $300,000 cash is quite a load...and if other trainers wanted to battle you for it, then oh dear, that is when it becomes a real Pokémon fight...for protection over wanting something xD

 

[Superjub]

I dont think you are foced to give out money because you lost, as I cant imagine Twins giving money to a Cue Ball. XD I'm unsure about even Gym Leaders giving out money, but I guess it's possible. But if Gym Leaders give out money if they lose, do opponents have to give Gym Leaders money if they lose? :\ There are probably competitions where if you lose, you have to give money to your opponent. :P

 

[Artemis]

I would think so too. If you had to give out money it would either have to be arranged by the trainers or competition wise...Other than that I don't seeing it happening except for maybe Gyms and I would believe Elites too. xD

>D Beat me to the post. Pokédollars are just yen under a weird name. In the Japanese main games even the symbol for money is a yen one. What seems like thousands isn't even a tenner.
When you lose in the game (even to a wild Pokémon) you lose half (less in D/P/Pt - or am I just broke(!) ) of your money. So maybe it's an honour thing (you hand your money to the victor in as some sort of offering) or perhaps the shock of whiting/blacking out means that you lose your money.
It's not gambling, that's moreso the Game Corner and those rip-off addicting scratch cards in Platinum.

 

[Inkfingers]

Two words:

credit card

 

[Inferno1]

I dont think it would happen like that in real life something tells me even if their were pokemon to get money we would have to have a part time job

 

[Rosefrost]

If I lost I'd pretend to be really poor, and if they said: "Those don't look like poor people clothes." I'd say my grandma gave them to me before she died...Either way they'd feel bad about taking my money. :P

Kidding, I wouldn't do that, I'd just say:"Wow Justin Timberlake!" and run, that always works. :P

If Pokemon were exist, they will propelly make some money for Pokemon likes

PokePoints which can be use in the PokeMart

PokePoints get when win in a battle from a trainer.

Pokedex will be doin' the recording for PokePoints.

In the PokeCenter, trainer can use their PokePoints to buy some drinks and foods

which PokeCenter is a free place for healing fainted Pokeball.

Well it just all imo

As for Real Money, Earn it yourself, Pokemon doesn't provide Money Robbing System

 

[Feign]

Lol... I remember in the days of red and blue that you'd loose half of your money from a full party faint. That seems a bit cruel... Though it teaches you to have a decent party. It would almost seem that staying at a Pokemon centre is free, and perhaps the kitchens are hostle like, where people can take what they need. Though there is a reception area for trainers checking in.

But what I think it really just is, is that they have unlimited funds, without much explanation, just because it is easier that way. This allows those who create the anime to do whatever they want with their characters, while never having to directly answer the question.

It's not a bad idea, I am quite agree with you. If this world has Pokemon, how nice is it?

Lol funny! If that would happen, it could be robbing
