I might just pick those up, as I love instrumental soundtracks and the like. The only pokemon soundtracks I have are the First Movie CD, and a 2 Be a Master tape

I have youtube and the world is open to me. I often listen on the gen IV soundtrack on youtube when I study. The route and city music from Sinnoh are soothing.

I don't own any soundtracks but if I were to buy one it would definitely be the XY soundtrack. There's a YouTube video that has almost every track from XY in it, which I've listened to many times :P Similar to Adventure, I sometimes listen to Pokémon music on YouTube while studying, usually XY or Colosseum/XD music.

Those two soundtracks are my most favorite. <3 I also like Black/White's music as well, it's music to my ears :3

In honor of the FireRed and LeafGreen soundtrack being released on iTunes in North America and Europe today, and to continue the music topic, what are everyone's favorite tracks from FireRed and LeafGreen? I really like the S.S. Anne and Sevii Isles themes. I just realized that the Sevii Isles theme is a remix of Route 42 from G/S/C earlier this year... I can't believe that after playing G/S/C/HG/SS for so long I never noticed how similar they sounded.
Gym Leader music would have to be one of my favorites. I don't know what, but something about it just makes me feel hyped and motivated. Haha. Cinnabar Island theme is my favorite as well. I love how cheerful it is. (:

Technically Pokemon-related news, given this image. Eventually, this will be their new currency. At least there are those who actually recognize the symbol.

But still...now we have a reason for this type of currency.

Discuss.

Well, actually the pokédollar sign has two strikethroughs so it isn't completely similar ;) As this isn't completely pokémon related for discussion, rather just a funny thing, I'll move this to the Pokémon General daily chit-chat thread where you can keep commenting or discussing this if you want. Just keep it pokémon related.

Whether or not the new Ruble symbol uses one line across the P instead of two, I'd much rather use that in a Pokemon context than $ or another money symbol for Pokedollars. Hopefully we don't have to wait that long for it to be included into Unicode and many of the different fonts out there- it took less than a month for the Indian Rupee symbol to be supported in 2010.

Was it always called "pokédollars" in the game? I thought it was yen at first.

I'm pretty sure there's no official name for it, but it just kind of became known as "Pokedollars" (I've seen the name pen used infrequently as well). The Japanese versions just use yen for their in-game currencies, which is probably where the pen name came from.

Oh, poké-yen = pen :p smart.

I've never had trouble with money in a pokémon game. I can always buy whatever I need :x

I never had money problems until playing X... I kept spending all of my money on Poké Balls and I could never afford more than 20 until somewhere around my 7th badge. Maybe I should've challenged the Battle Chateau more often :P

I always called the money Poké because that's just what I came up with when I first played the games. What's annoying about the name is that it has never been brought up in the anime (at least not that I can think of) so no one knows what it's called.

Money was an issue for me at the beginning of Pokémon Y, but throughout the end, though, it wasn't. I was able to earn dozens of mushroom from the restaurants at Lumoise, and by selling them, I got to make a lot of cash. Thank god that these restaurants exist. If they didn't, then I'm not sure what I'd do… I would be quite frustrated. xD

Excepting my playthrough of X, I rarely buy things from the Poké Mart. I usually save up my money until the E4/Champion battles, where I spam my bag with Revives, Hyper Potions, and Full Heals (even then, I only use around ten of each at most). Post game I usually stick to buying Ultra Balls, unless I'm doing a challenge/replay where I don't plan on catching them all. If it weren't for the custom outfits in XY, I would probably have 999,999 dollars (or whatever the limit is).

I call it poké too, but because that's what they call the currency in the PMD series. I know it's a different world, but it's the closest we get to an official name to my knowledge.

And money is not a problem for me in X/Y. Because I'm a cheapskate and a hoarder. :P Pretty much the only things I buy are poké balls, quick balls, and clothes (and not even all that many clothes either). And I make it a point to work at Hotel Richissme every day just for the cash I don't really need, haha! My OCD tendencies at work, I guess.

Yeah I usually am pretty greedy in the games too xD I sell stuff like X Attack and anything I don't really use or need. And buy Full Restore and Revive and pokéballs instead.


Anyways, Christmas is very soon (today it's Lucia in my country~). Are you planning on wishing for or giving away anything pokémon related for Christmas gifts? :3

I have a habit of not spending my Pokemoney until I really really need it. If I run out of potions or Pokeballs, then I wait till I reach the next town, or if I'm nearby the previous town then I go there instead.

& I have plans on buying my irl friend Pokemon X (i'm buying two soon, one for me and one for him), so that way when I buy my 3DS, we'll be able to play together and stuff~

I don't think there will be any Pokémon related presents for any of my family this Christmas, but when my nephew gets a little older I will spam him with Pokémon gifts >:3
I don't need anything Pokémon related (although I wouldn't mind some TCG boosters) and neither myself nor my family has any idea of what presents to gift to me haha. I'm planning on hosting a Pokémon anime stream a few days before Christmas, so that should be fun :D

The only things I really asked for were Pokémon Y and a 3DS XL. I was with my dad yesterday, and he bought me Pokémon Y because I assumed my mom didn't because we're kind of struggling with money? I come home to find out that my mom had already ordered it, so we need to return the one my dad bought for me, lol. But hey, at least I also managed to grab the X/Y guidebook, too! :D

Been so long since I touched my old pokémon cards... I used to love them. Like, ten years ago.

Oh, let us know so that we can maybe join in! You organizing it through the Anime section or just by yourself?

So you almost got two, haha, so lucky.

I doubt I'd get a 3DS from my family even if I wished for it :p They want me to spend my money on better things. But by wishing for it I wouldn't spend my own money soooo their logic fails :]]]] eheh.

Haha, I kind of wish I could keep both, so for one game I could keep as an original file while the other cartridge I could restart as much as I want for challenges and stuff like nuzlockes, same-type teams, etc. That was actually the reason why I wanted Y, too; so I could have a sixth gen game to use for nuzlockes while I keep the original file on X. I wanted a new 3DS so that I could do a normal play-through for Y, then trade all the important Pokémon I need over to X, then restart Y as much as I want! I wanted the XL because bigger screens, lol.
