We all have been wondering how the economy of the pokearth works. I'm here to tell you.


Pokemon trainers are roaming individuals like nomads. they live off the land and travel the world. Average, stationary people would live a life similar to the lives we live today, expect they would be working for a place to live, clothes and other material items.

Pkmn trainers still need money of course, for pokemon centers and pokemon items and basic living items. This is where the pokemon league comes in. Every year the Pokemon League of a region throws a giant festival where they make huge sum of money. they could also make money during the year with contests, broadcasting gym battles, random tournaments etc. This money is then used for next years festival, funding pokemon centres, and given to the pokemon trainers/nomans who participated in the league.

We all get hung up on the fact that a Pokemon world would be an expensive one. Everything would be practically free because, hello, there's pokemon. Every would have or know someone who had a grass type like tropius, eggecute and exeggutor would could produce infinite berries and fruit with harvest. thats why everyone eats fruit and not meat. (they probably used to but went vegan for moral and economic reasons).

Food prices, a being a major cost in society, would reduce the need for money.
