Simple Question

T

Torkoal

What? Exactly
What is the name of the money in the Pokemon World, cause in the game all they use when they mention it is a wierd little symbol. I need to know for a fic I'm writing.
 
Idk... Pokedollars? The money sign is a little "P." And besides, everything in the Pokemon world starts with Poke-. [/exaggeration] Seriously though, look at PokeBall and Pokedex.
 
I call it Pokedollars. some call it yen since that is what it is most like. In a situation like a fan fiction, I would try to avoid having to mention "pokedollars" or "yen" or "dollars". For more opinion, try asking this in the author's cafe in the fan fiction forum.

Slightly off topic, I always thought it was funny how expensive it is to be a pokemon trainer. Honestly, a Full Restore is 3000 pokedollars, which is close to 3000 yen which is about $30.00. Pretty expensive, eh?
 
Its called poke in mystery dungeon...
 
The symbol for money in pokemon stands for pokedollars.
 
I started out calling it pokecredits, but i've now just shortened it to poke
 
I say it's Poke'. Because It's not only sold in the U.S so it can't be dollars.
 
I've always just called them credits, I don't know where I go it from but I'm sure it has been mentioned at some point...

I agree with this dude. Go Star Wars with it and just call it 'Credits'.
I've called it 'Pokedollers' since it was called that in Colosseum I think, but it just sounds really lame.
 
The "dollars" just comes from it being our own currency. What do japanese people call it, transleated of cource. Pokeyen?
 
It isn't the currency where I live, but it's still tagged with that name in my mind =\ Also, I'd assume the Japanese just call it 'Yen'.
 
I've always thought of them as Pokedollars. But they do really need a better name.
 
Well, Torkoal, it looks like everyone uses another word. For your fic, you can better use the most common word, either Poké or Pokédollar, but I really would recommend Poké since it's in MD too. Or just call it Yen :p
