Its symbol is {{PDollar}}, a P with a double strikethrough. | ||
Much like the yen, most items have prices that are multiples of 100 or 1000. For example, in [[Pokémon X and Y]], the fare for the [[Lumi Cab]] starts at {{PDollar}}710, which is precisely the same starting tariff as for {{wp|taxi}}s in Tokyo.<ref>[https://matcha-jp.com/en/2537 Transportation Expenses In Japan: Cost Of Trains, Buses, Taxis, And Rental Cars]</ref> | |||
==Localization== | |||
In the original Japanese versions (except for {{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}), the currency used is yen and the symbol used is 円, the kanji for {{wp|Japanese yen|yen}}, the national currency of Japan. In localizations, instead of using the symbol for the Japanese currency, an alternate symbol is used. | |||
In all Western language and Chinese localizations of the core series Pokémon games, the Pokémon Dollar symbol {{PDollar}}, is used instead. In the Korean versions, 원, the {{wp|hangul}} symbol for the South Korean currency, {{wp|South Korean won|won}}, is used instead. | |||
The Pokémon Dollar symbol is a P with a double horizontal strikethrough over the tail of the P, similar to the ¥ symbol used for {{wp|Japanese yen}}, but with a P for Pokémon instead. There is no real-world currency that uses this exact symbol—it is somewhat similar to the ₽ symbol used for {{wp|Russian ruble}} (which only has a single strikethrough) and the ₱ symbol used for {{wp|Philippine peso}} (which has a double strikethrough over the head of the P rather than the tail). | |||
Uniquely, in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{XD}}, the Pokémon Dollar is used in both the Japanese and Western versions. The name "Pokémon Dollar" is not used in the core series games, only in Pokémon Colosseum and XD. | |||
