You think that would be like gambling... So I'd say they wouldn't let minors, which is odd, because in the games you are like 10...

I highly doubt it would happen in reality. I actually can't even picture someone [especially so young] carrying thousands of dollars in their pocket so late at night. The only way someone would give up their money is if they were really being bullied [said above]. Though, no, because it would be considered gambling which is bad for little youngsters, especially at the age of ten. xD

If this were in the real world, I'd assume only Gym Leaders hand out money, since it would be an official match.

BUT since this is a video game, everyone has to pay you. How else would you make easy money? It would take forever selling things you find on the ground.

Lol: what if you see a ten year old knocking some buff guy out, and taking his money?

....Wouldn't happen. The payout of money would not happen in the real world. I can believe Gym Leaders, because those are official, and since they're the hardest, you should get some cash for winning.

I agree with you, in the games, you have to gain money in an easy way so you can buy things.. But in real life, only Gym Leaders should hand money...

In the real world, there is no way that something like that would be allowed. It doesn't make any sense, either... kids carrying around that much money is crazy. In my Diamond, I have about $500,000. So yeah. ^^

The only reason that is programmed into the game is so you can make money and buy things at the PokeMart.

I bet in reality they would give you money.

I mean, if Pokemon were real, all my Pokemon fainted and another person had Pokemon that weren't fainted. I'd give them money.

Wait wait, pause the freaking thread.

IF the money system is only applicable to the games and not the anime then:

How do hell does Brock buy all his stuff?

They have to make some sorth of income to support themselves.


Then again, it's a cartoon. You'll probably find Pokebucks on the floor like Rupees in Legend of Zelda.

Toting $P800,000 around with me is not my idea of safe. But Godot is right; Brock needs money to buy all his stuff. So I think the money payout does show in the anime; just to a certain extent. Or maybe Brock's rich.

Team Rocket never and never will get enough money because they fail at everything they do, and they're not like normal Trainers, battling other Trainers to get money.

I never heard of them getting jobs at resturants but if they did, I'd like to watch that epidsode.

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

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.
