What do you call the currency?

[fenyx4]

As an after-thought, aside from PokéDollars, I also refer to the currency as "PokéMoney", which can be fully rendered/lengthened as the term "Pocket Money". :D

I call the currency Zimbabwean Dollars, as a 'Youngster' gave me $3,000(ish) for defeating him in a Pokemon battle. He's too young to have any real money, therefore that $3,000 must've equated to about 10p in UK Sterling.

I usually either call it dollars or yen or pokeyen. Dollars cuz I'm lazy. yen and pokeyen because in the japanese version they used a yen sign next to the money.

 

[Dooonerz]

I used to call it 'Pokemoney' :D
But now I call it pokedollars xD

 

[dragon0fangz]

i just say P. because that's what it is. P.

 

[Alice]

I've always called it "Pen"

It really is Yen, and it has the Yen symbol, except it's a P, instead of a Y. So, I call it Pen.

 

[★EP!K★]

I just refer to it as pounds.

 

[Myles]

Canonically it's called Pokémon Dollars (Pokédollars in Japan) according to the GCN games. MD may call them Poké, but it never uses the symbol and it's not Farfetch'd that it would be a different currency.

I usually, however, call them 'bucks', or 'money', 'cash', etc. Honestly I rarely say dollars when referring to real life dollars. Although if I was asked what the currency is called, I'd say Pokédollars.

I just call it dollars. example I have 34555 dollars. none of the games tell you anything about the currency.are they coins?paper? I dont think anyone bothered to think of a name.

I just call them PokéDollars. I remember writing a fanfic where Sabrina was in an alternate reality similar to ours, where she nearly fooled someone into thinking they were Yen. So I guess that means I perceive them as looking quite alike.

 

[Liv]

I call it "Pokeyen". Igot the poke part from the "poke" in mystery dugeon, and yen because it looks like the yen symbol.

 

[Necrø]

I'm used to Poké due to playing Pokémon mystery dungeon for days maybe even years o3o

 

[Shelldershucker]

Generally speaking, I like to call them Pokemarks. For each region, I give them different names. Kanto- KantoMarks, Johto- JohtoMarks, Sinnoh- SinnohMarks, Hoenn = Hoennese Yuan/Yen (I like to think that Hoenn use a different type of currency because they're not on the continental mainland like Kanto, Johto and Sinnoh are.)

 

[Bleak]

No matter what game I'm playing, the currency is always "gil"

 

[Rainbow-Sasuke]

I just call it Poké! It's simpler and sounds better.

 

[Ice Queen]

i just call it dollars because that's what i call money in real life.

 

[angel]

I've always called it money. Never cared enough to actually give it a name but I do like Pokèdollars.

 

[da_absol]

I call it Poke, having played Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, but i used to just call it money because that's what it is in the pokemon world. We don't say AmeriDollars do we?

 

[Zelda]

I never really had a special name for it and I don't believe Pokémon ever introduced a specific name to call it anyway. Although I rarely speak of it, when I do, I usually just call it money because of the same reason and since it isn't a main thing to worry about (as it's very easy to obtain money in the game), it doesn't really matter to me. n_n;

If Pokémon were to have a name for the money, I would agree with PokéDollars since it seems like the most possible name GameFreak would come up with if not more creative. :P

I usually just call them "bucks", or "dollars". I think in the Anime (at least in the English dub) they use dollars as well. iirc, the Magikarp salesman mentions dollars.
