What do you call the currency?

[Stellar]

I just call it money/dollars/etc.
I was always under the impression that the canon name was PokéDollars, since that's what they called it in Pokémon Monopoly.

 

[Meadow]

I call it by the amount. I just say "oh, i got 250." The currency itself gets no name from me, lol. I don't even call dollars "dollars." I'm rude and name it depending on the amount.

I usually just state the amount and not the units. For example, I might say, "A Poké Ball costs two hundred."

Yeah, I used to do that also, up until the day I played Mystery Dungeon.

 

[Devil Flamingo]

I call them PokeDollars, because in Canada that's the name of the currency. If I were in Japan I'd call it PokeYen. XD

 

[Binary]

Do the anime characters ever mention money? ._.
Since I first started playing the games, I didn't even care about the currency, since I couldn't really find anything to relate the sign with. So I was like "Yay, I won 250." or something like that after battles.

Pen

Just a portmanteau of Yen and Pokemon. n_n

 

[redsaber5859]

Well, I say "I just got 250 bucks" when I defeat a trainer, and otherwise PokeDollars.

So...
Bucks
PokeDollars

IN POKEMON XD, THEY ARE NAMED

Well the only canon where they clearly state the name is, as you said, the Mystery Dungeon Series. While this follows and extravagantly different canon then the Anime or Main Games, it still is canon.

The symbol itself is based off of the Yen, but instead of a Y going through it, it is a P, leading to the common fan name "Pokeyen".

In my fanon I call it in all terms "PK". Mainly because you can't type the actual symbol with a keyboard. In my mind 1.00 PK translates to 1 penny (who would pay 100 dollars for a Pokeball?). But I pronounce it Poké. Good question though. Many people just ignore it, but it's good to see you've brought it up.

With all regards,

They call it Pokemon Dollar in Orre, so it isn't only in MD-and in MD you use Poke, which is used by POKEMON not TRAINERS

 

[AntiZero]

I usually just call it "money", "dollars", or occasionally "PokeDollars".

Anything that lets me easily know its a currency is fine with me.

 

[Ersatz]

I've always just refered to it as monies. I don't know why, but even when I first played the first game when I was 6 or 7, I just said "monies".

 

[Lord_Storm]

I just call it dollars, but as you start with P3000, I translate that to $30.00, so when you defeat your rival, you get $3.00 from him. It makes sense to me.

 

[coolcatkim22]

I call it Pen but I will often refer to it as money since not everybody will know what I'm talking about.

 

[imevil]

i call it pokedollars cause thats what it is

 

[xPsychosocial]

I just call it pounds, my friend doesn't get confused that way.

 

[PKFL_531]

I call it Lady Gaga money because Lady Gaga used it in one of her videos. I think it was Bad Romance...


But really, I just call it PokéDollars.

 

[Silhouette]

I live in the US, so I usually just call it 'Dollars'. Or money when I'm bored. XD

 

[Brendino]

I tend to just use the term "dollars," but I might use Pokédollars if I was being more specific.

 

[poopnoodle]

doll hairs or buckaroos or just plain ol money

 

[Livewire]

Dollars, bucks, the other slang terms for U.S. currency. xD

 

[Nohr]

I'm just a hardcore RPGer, I guess, so I find myself calling it gold. If I actually think about it, it doesn't make any sense, it's just force of habit.

 

[Neelh]

Pokedollars. Simple. Always called it that.

*Pokes dollar*

Rubbish joke, I know.

 

[PunxsatownyPhil]

I call it dollars or sometimes gold.
