>>39263174Depending on the average number of Pokeballs it takes to catch 1 pokemon, it might not be too bad.
Remember that 1 pokedollar is roughly 1 yen, and 200 yen is $1.85 as of today. Now that we are in dollars, we can use that standard to help us approximate the price per capture attempt and how it economically reflects on the trainer. Let's assume that each capture attempt takes an average of 3 Poke balls. This means that each Pokemon costs $5.55 to catch on average.
Now, let's use Paul's method, which implies catching 3~4 Pokemon and comparing them against each other. Let's go with our max 4 as a worse case scenario. This means that each selection pool of pokemon the trainer has to pick and evaluate from is about $22.20. So, it's not expensive, but can definitely rack up over time if the trainer uses this method for every kind of Pokemon they plan on catching.
