Pokémon Dollar: Difference between revisions

Poké Dollars is the name given for the currency used in all four regions, (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Orre) in the Pokémon world, and its symbol is File:Pokébuck sign.gif, a P with a double strikethrough, similar to the ¥ (yen) symbol except with a 'P' instead of a 'Y'.

The cost of simple items runs in the hundreds - indeed, most items have prices that are multiples of 100 or 1000, which is not entirely unlike the Japanese Yen.

Other names fans have come up for the monetary note over the years have been "Pokémon Dollars", "PokéMoney", "Zenny", "PokéYen" or "Pen". Most fans simply refer to them as "dollars". However, according to Pokémon Colosseum, the official name for them is Pokémon Dollars.

However, the Poké Dollar and its symbol were both created for the English translation of the games. In the original Japanese versions, the currency used is Yen and the symbol used is a Japanese Kanji for Yen. Similarly, Poké Dollars are not used in the Pokémon anime, whether the original or the English dub.
