I disagree! Japanese Pokemon has always used the Yen sign (円, which is the Kanji version of ￥) in the japanese version of all generation pokemons. However in oversea versions, they don't want to use the yen sign, so they created the Pokedollar instead.

 

This makes sense because of the following two reasons:

-Prices for items make sense. A Pokeball is worth 1.76 USD, an Ultra ball is worth 10.57 USD, a Full Restore is worth 26.43 USD, etc. That shows how expensive it is to actually purchase tons of items, unless you're a main protagonist that wins every battle and accumulates victory money.

-If you compare ￥ to the Pokedollar sign, you'll notice it's the same thing, except that Y has been replaced by P. That's right, they're both just a letter with two bars in the lower half!

 

Now, PRO's world is a bit special. If you follow that logic, the items are worth the same price, but the subway is worth 2'643 USD for a month. A Coin Capsule, which should be worth between 2'202 and 2'643 USD, is actually obtained only for 5 USD. What is going on in there, you ask? Let me explain...

 

First, the value of goods and services are all over the place. In this world, everyone dreams to be a Pokemon Trainer, and so everyone is travelling all over the place. This means that finding materials for building goods is easy, but there is a huge lack of personel for services. Thus, the Offer and Demand have a very good balance for pokeballs and potions, but when it comes to services like the Subway, the Offer is unfortunately extremely low, and thus they have to sky-rocket the prices.

 

Second, the value of the Yen, or Pokedollar, has unfortunately inflated. As wild pokemons magically print Pokedollars, the value of the Pokedollar has dropped. These USD equivalents I've given? Actually, they're worth less in USD, and that means Pokeballs are actually as pricey as getting a bubble gum from one of those bubble gum machines. This is actually the second reason why services are expensive: The Pokemon government has reached to the subway manager and various other companies, and they have concluded an agreement to raise even further their prices and give back a percentage of it to the government so that they can limit the inflation as much as possible.

 

Third, Coin Capsules are not goods recognized by the government. They're goods that came from the black market, for which their production is actually very cheap, only 5 USD worth of material, but sold at extremely high prices. Of course, the government knows about it, but they have decided that leaving it like that is a more healthy choice for the sake of preventing inflation: Money that gathers into the possession of one person tends to be money that does not circulate anymore in the economy. This allows to keep the normal trainer's wealth to reasonable amounts.

 

 

And there you have it! The Pokedollar is actually an inflated Yen!

Don't bring your /VIET/ in here, this is a global server

[Sebas100003]

In fact if you go see in the real world economy right now the Viet Dong fit perfecly as our poke dollard its the same ratio as our poke dollard. 1USD for 25000 and if you check the map Hoen and sinoh are island and we are on the continant near a montain range sound like veitnam to me.

Uuuh, I have to fix you, but...

 

In Silver at least, Coin Capsules are worth 250-300k, making it 50-60k for 1 USD.

 

Also, the first 4 regions are all based on Japan regions.
