Yep. In some cases complete with digestive acids and/or blood. Because why settle for stone when you can make an extra profit by selling vomit bags? :PDoesn't mean Minecraft has to like it. XD
.....wait, structures made out of flesh? O_o
Well, I mean, that seems economically accurate.So, I was exploring a bit in the Sun/Moon demo. Then I found the following:
"A Vending Machine!
Wait-1 million each?!"
Welp! Inflation sure hit Alola hardcore XD.
Well, I mean, that seems economically accurate.
Alola is an island. Islands only have a limited number of resources, meaning a lot of it would have to be imported. It's why things in New Zealand are so expensive, it's why Hawaii is such an expensive place, and why Japan is also really expensive. Everything they can't grow has to be imported from places, and that takes labor and money.
Also, PokeDollars or whatever they're called are so worthless compared to the euro or dollar, a lot like Yen. Though, tbh, PokeDollars seem more like the Korean Won rather than Yen, since the conversion rate to a dollar is so insane. Yen are worth about a cent, give or take.
Anyway, POSTED!
Then that's VERY true.Stil though, even assuming the Yen thing, that's still roughly $10.000,- for one can of soda -- the same price as a bicycle costs in Kanto. I'm still calling shenanigans on it :P
I believe that "pokedollars" are actually yen in the Japanese version (at least in the original Gen I games), but they changed it when it was localized -- I guess because they didn't want kids to get confused...?Also, PokeDollars or whatever they're called are so worthless compared to the euro or dollar, a lot like Yen.

Like, when I was a kid, I remember overhearing other kids say stuff like "being a pokemon trainer would be so expensive because a single pokeball is like $200!!" and just generally acting as if one pokedollar = 1 USD and what that would look like... So, given that, I suppose I'm not surprised that they felt the need to introduce a made-up currency in order to emphasize that it isn't the same as real world currency -- or at least, the real-world currency of countries like the US.
That being said, I think the term "pokedollars" sounds really dumb and I try to avoid saying it as much as possible. Like, "pokeballs" and "pokemarts" make sense because those things are centered around pokemon specifically. But like... you can use pokedollars to buy non-pokemon-related things. It's the currency that basically the entire world of Pokemon uses for everything. And it's not like we have "animal-dollars" in the real world. I like thinking of the currency in the pokemon games as just being yen. It makes more sense to me, and I don't feel stupid just talking about the currency.
Edit: And even if the exchange rate between Pokemon yen and real-world Japan yen is weird... It's a fictional world. They have the authority to make their world's economy different from our own. :P
I have no idea, but he's certainly not getting my voteIn tonights episode of 'Donald Trump is a looney'...
Donald Trump: "[...]I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election," *pause* "If I win."
@Kagayours and other American people; can you please explain to me how such stark-raving madman as Trump, who apparently has zero respect for the process of democracy, managed to begome the Republican candidate for presidency with siuch a massive following? >_<
I think most of the rest of the country is just as shocked as you are. I sure as hell don't know how it happened.@Kagayours and other American people; can you please explain to me how such stark-raving madman as Trump, who apparently has zero respect for the process of democracy, managed to begome the Republican candidate for presidency with siuch a massive following? >_<
Also, what makes even sense to me is the 'logic' some people go through when supporting Trump. "Evil Bankers and Big Money are controlling the presidential campaign, and unwanted candidates don't get to see the light of day*! ...Let's vote for Trump instead!"I think most of the rest of the country is just as shocked as you are. I sure as hell don't know how it happened.

Uhm, I hate to break it to you, people, but all you're doing is cutting out the middle man >_>.
*note: I do realize this is an actual problem; poltical campaings are WAY too expensive, meaning that only stupidly rich people and people supported by stupidly rich people/groups stand a reasonable chance to win while everyone else gets completely overshadowed. Not only that, there's a vicous cycle going on since every campaign seems to feel the need to outshine the previous one, which makes the whole thing even more expensive (I seem to have read once that a serious campaign can cost you about a billion Dollars, which is just absolutely ridiculous). And even then it barely even matters what side the president is on, because the massive hostility in between the Democrats and the Republicans means that shit only gets done when one side has the absolute majority across the whole field (only for everything that does get done to be recalled the moment the other side gets the majority). Meanwhile jails are overflowing, the national debt is almost three times the size of the entire world's economy and much, much more. ...Maybe all the sane/young people should just emigrate to Canada and/or Europe? Then we'll give Project America another chance in another century or so.
Which is?Well, Season 3 of one of my favorite shows won't have release until winter 2017 because they couldn't film last summer.
Which is?
