This but I think they are also partially funded by the League, because most of the Mart's profit has to go back into the Mart.

Does the Japanese version say this? Could just be some translator putting that thinking it was funny without considering the implications.

LP, so the nurses get paid in LP. They really don't have much use for it, so they have to convert it to Pokedollars through some weird crypto trading app.

The Pokemon League funds them because otherwise trainers wouldn't bother taking on the gyms or battling at all.

pokecenters and pokemarts are run by the same company. revenue from the marts is used to fund the centers because making battling more convenient means more people will get into it, which means more people buying from marts, which means more revenue.

Ambulance fees. Wild Pidgey didn't take half your money when it defeated your last Pokemon. That was the EMTs hauling you and your team off to the Pokecenter.

There's no canon answer.
If you want a random theory.
Taxes.
Pokemarts tax items heavily, the money you make from fights is taxes, you probably have to pay a fee to enter gyms as a non registered trainer etc etc.
Imagine all the money they make from tv from fights and sponsored events. You're in a world where everything is themed entirely around a singular sport. So all the money probably goes through there.

They probably resell stuff trainers sell them, at 2x markup.

The comaint was that the tree looked fucking ugly, not that it looked too anime.
It was worse than an n64 tree.
You're using that as an excuse for the awful new art style.

Yeah there's no way this is original dialog. Just another reason (albeit a minor one) why localizers need to stop writing fanfiction or get the rope.

>>55807625
Jesus dude, are you an actual retard? People rightfully were taking the piss out of the tree looking blocky and textured like an N64 tree, not complaining that it "didn't look real enough."

The economy is incredibly healthy if a Pokeball is $1. In the US a basic burger is like $3-4.

Funny thing is the economy's basically only gotten better as of Gen 7, Ultra Balls went from a fairly steep 12 bucks to an extremely manageable 8 bucks.

Glorified fanfiction (AKA Pokemon Special/Adventures) has an answer.
The Pokemon Association. They're behind pretty much everything.
