What do you call the currency?

[loudpipes]

I'm pretty sure they're PokéDollars (at least that's what the Pokemon Monopoly game we had used to call them), but I just refer to them as dollars.

 

[Zaros]

I call it PokéMonies.

 

[BuizelBoy]

Always called it pounds, local currency and just makes sense to me.

 

[Data_Error]

Used to call them "Poké". Nowadays I just call it "yen" for simplicity and because it sounds less stupid.

 

[Zekurom]

He even gives the USD equivalent when he talks about how much stuff costs in the games, it confuses me sometimes, haha.

Sweet, that's what I do.

Although I just divide it by 100.

 

[ChuckleNuts]

I just call it P.

 

[VeggiePopper]

In my mind, I call it Dollars, because of its common usage. I find it amusing that Zenny is one of the options on the poll, since it is normally associated with the currency in some of Capcom's games, like Megaman Battle Network.

If I recall correctly, in Dragon Ball and some other Japanese series that take place in an alternate world, they use the word 'zenny' for their currencies, not just in Capcom games. I think it's like the universal fantasy currency in Japan, so it makes sense that some people call the -internationally- unnamed Pokécurrency, 'zenny'.

Yes, I said unnamed currency. The Orre games are not developed by Game Freak so I take everything from that series with a grain of salt.

Pokedollars, but the gay Korean SS version I have (which doesn't let me trade with other language-based games, even HGSS, btw) just calls it won, like the real currency, though I still call it Pokedollars anyway, as all my other games are like that.

I was NOT expecting that.

I thought I invented PokeDollars. Guess I'm wrong! XD

 

[Rasta14515]

lol i too use the term poke$

 

[pikachu200]

I use to call it Pokepoints but now I call it Pokedollars/pokebucks <--and not with the e accent either :-D

 

[kamui]

I always thought PokéDollars was cute, so that is what I call it now. However, when I first started playing red (and I was like... 8 or 9?) I called it "P" xD;;

 

[evoVIIeevee]

I just assumed they were Yen to be honest.

 

[Mijzelffan]

I don't think I call them anything. I just say "it costs 500." "That nugget is worth 5000."

 

[a touch of anarchy.]

PokéDollars. xD

 

[Mutak94]

I call it money.

 

[Dewgong Reign]

I call them Pen. I used to say Poké, but that's the currency of Treasure Town.

 

[Der_Neuevenmenschen]

I call it Pokebux.

Me: W00t! I just got 12 grand!
My mother: 12 grand! W00t!
Me: No, on Pokemon. I got 12 grand in Pokebux.
My mother: I'm very dissapointed in you, Noob.

 

[Outcast]

I just call them coins for some reason.

 

[Leonardo10]

I've always called them PokeDollars for some reason.
