Oh good I'm not the only one. What about calculating value for money on all the Potions and what have you to see which one is the best deal and then only ever buying that?

I do that for Repels, but only because I unintentionally found out about the dollar/step cost of each one. Ever since I learned that Super Repels were most economical, I can never force myself to buy Max Repels anymore.

For Potions, I typically just buy items which can heal around the same amount as my team's average HP. It's a little bit more finicky with those, since you also have to take into account how much damage you'll be healing and such.

HAHA MONEY MANAGEMENT IS FOR LOOOOOOZRS

I just buy whatever I fancy :3 there's no logic to my purchases, as is the case with me in real life.

This is generally the case for me too, but when the moeny's tight you get a bit of management in you ...

People have tight money in a Pokemon game? I always have hundreds of thousands lying around that I never use.

Guys I have to ask- is it weird that I buy exactly 10 Pokéballs every time I have to get more so that I can get a free Premier Ball? And even if I want to buy 50 I buy 10 at a time to get the most out of my money? Since then I get $1000 worth of free stuff as opposed to $200. And I just do this out of habit by now.

No, it isn't! I do that all the time! ^^ Sometimes I even do it just for the sake of getting the Premier Ball. I do think it has an awesome design. :)



I tend to have a tendency to buy too much stuff ...
And you can't get money from random battles :(

You can get quite a sum of money from spamming the Elite 4 with one party member holding an Amulet Coin. :D

Haha I've always got a ton of money. Even when I totally forget about the Amulet Coin. I just am ridiculously thrifty for no reason and almost never buy anything. Actually tbh I think that kind of behaviour started when I was always out of money in Final Fantasy Tactics and then just carried over into Pokémon. xD;

If I find out a certain dungeon is going to be hard, I just store all my valuables (and money, if possiblies) and then keep on dying and gaining power until I can finally beat it. Same goes for boss battles :3 That's how I beat Temporal Tower, you know.

Also, on a side note...who else is compulsive about storing Reviver Seeds? I swear I have two pages of them stored in Storage.
