In the handheld [[Pokémon games]], a player's wallet can hold only up to {{PDollar}}999,999. This may cause frustration when trying to save up for the advertised price of a [[Bicycle]] in [[Generation I]] (and its [[Generation III]] remakes) or a [[Slowpoketail]] on [[Route 32]] in [[Generation II]], since both are advertised for {{PDollar}}1 more than the player can carry. The [[Gamecube]] games allow players to carry seven-digit figures of money. | In the handheld [[Pokémon games]], a player's wallet can hold only up to {{PDollar}}999,999.

Other names fans have come up for the monetary note over the years have been "Poké Dollars", "Credits", "PokéMoney", "Zenny", "PokéYen" or "Pen". Most fans simply refer to them as "dollars".

However, the Pokémon Dollar and its symbol were both created for the English translation of the {{pkmn|games}}. In the original Japanese versions (except for Colosseum and XD), the currency used is Yen and the symbol used is a Japanese Kanji for Yen. Similarly, Pokémon Dollars are not used or seen in the [[Pokémon anime]], whether the original or the English dub, although money has been mentioned throughout the anime. | However, the Pokémon Dollar and its symbol were both created for the English translation of the {{pkmn|games}}.
