== Question ==

Does Pay Day's effect happen in link battles? Or just in-game battles? --[[user:Baby G|<span style="color:#FF4500;">Baby G]]</span> <small>([[user talk:Baby G|<span style="color:#D1E231;">talk to me]]</span>)</small> <small>([[Special:Contributions/Baby_G|<span style="color:#B87333;">see my edits]]</span>)</small> 00:29, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
:I'm not sure, but I don't think so. This also applies to Battle Tower/Frontier battles...speaking of money, the most one can gain without use of items (other than PP Max) is {{pdollar}}640, since you can get {{pdollar}}200 for a lv. 100 Pokémon and up to 32 PP can be gained, right?

::How do you get {{pdollar}}640 from that? 200 times 32 is {{pdollar}}6400. Although it seems correct other than that. So, theoretically. [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|Smarter than the average bear!]] 14:13, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

::::Don't mean to revive a dead conversation, but can we use the AMulet Coin to double our gains, making a total of {{PDollar}}12800?

:<i>Doubles money received after battle if the holder takes part in the battle.</i> It's on the Amulet coin's description.

::Maybe it does affect it, I don't know. But this is one of those things where you need to test it. [[User:Tesh|<span style="color:#B7AD96;">'''TESH'''</span>]][[User_talk:Tesh|<span style="color:#B7AD96;">'''IGIGAS'''</span>]] 00:27, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
:::It affects Pay Day's money, too, at least in D/P, but I distinctly remember it being the same in Fire Red. I tested it with a Level 100 Meowth on a level 18 Wooper. Without the amulet, 500, and with, 1000. In the same vein, I tried in D/P's Battle Park, and there was no money gained during a challenge.[[User:Neo Qwerty|Neo Qwerty]] 01:16, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

== Twice your level?  ==

I've been using a Meowth level 18 in LeafGreen and attacking with Pay Day.  Each time, it gave me 90{{PDollar}}, and 180 if used twice.  And then my Meowth gained a level, and each time he used Pay Day, it gave me 95{{PDollar}}.  Is it possible that it was changed to 5 times your pokemon's level?  That would be my guess, but if others can confirm...  Thanks!  [[User:Dargad|Dargad]] 03:12, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

:I know for sure it was 2× in [[Generation I]]--being inexperienced when I first played {{v2|Yellow}}, I often taught the starter {{p|Pikachu}} the move via TM and used it often against {{p|Rhydon}} in the [[Cerulean Cave]] to make big profits.  Keep in mind that the Generation I games had no real easy money-making methods.

:The best way to test your theory would be to test Pay Day in each generation, both with and without the Amulet Coin in [[Generation II]] onward.  This'll give us a timetable on both if and when the Pay Day ratio changes.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 03:22, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
