I wonder how Pokecenters make money?

[Pokemon rocks]

Pokecenters don't charge money ever so how do they make money to buy food, equipment etc.? Post your ideas here and let this thread live long!;249; ;000;

 

[Desert_Rose]

Money is donated to them by other businesses and pokemon trainers. That's my guess.

^I was thinking along the lines of the same thing as well.

Although I think the city itself donates money to the Pokemon Center from tax money or something similar, kind of like in our own world, which donates money to stuff like the Red Cross to keep it running.

 

[everly84]

Third thinkers a charm...i think..... but yea Id say they are like the Red Cross.... Money gets donated to them so they can stay open.

 

[Ethereal]

It's like a Police Station. We don't pay them to do the things they do, but they get paid and have their facilities maintained nonetheless...At least, that makes sense in my head. :<

 

[Smile Guy]

Hmm... What is with all these pratical questions, lately?

The real answer: It's game and/or cartoon. It's not real.
The fun answer: I always figured it was either government paid, OR, it was a registered charity and people made donations.

 

[Rainbow★Latias]

Probably by donations otherwise... Meowth, use Pay Day!

 

[Crystal Walrein]

Probably through taxes, since it's a clinic and therefore publicly run.

 

[Watergod]

They're probably funded by the government of tax money. Otherwise they probably run off donations made by generous businesses and individuals.

 

[Lupin]

I always thought that the tax payers pay for it.

 

[blaze boy]

I thought that it was a game and it isn't surpose to make sense.

 

[Shadows Follower]

Maybe its a non profit organisation and the government pays for them to keep going. Then again that would cost alot. Still its a thought...

 

[mrmimeykai]

i reckon that your pokemon pimp nurse joy.....that is how she keeps it running lol

 

[FlamingRuby]

The resting for the humans and Pokemon may be free but food and everything else is paid for...with the goverment and generous donations filling up the rest of the bill

 

[The Organizer]

I think that pokemon centers stay open by means of the city paying taxes, and or the goverment paying for all the bills, and genorous donations by noraml people and buisnesses

 

[[Kingdra]]

I guess donations

 

[Blazeing man]

Mrmimeykai, PLEASE don't talk in such a manner. It makes Elekids cry.
Anyway, I think that it, and some other orginizations IE E4 are payed by sales tax from when you buy an item. I mean, Pokeballs are realy only 100Y.
The sales tax for all items is half of the items cost.

 

[killerjaw01]

In the UK we do not pay to be treated at hospitals because our tax money pays for it, so I suppose the Pokecentres get money from taxes

 

[Ben Kenobi]

It's a games and like all games, rarely makes sense. I'd say government funding via taxes.

 

[Char1016]

I think that the man who accepted to build Pokemon Canters pays them, or Maybe Scot! .
