Even after 9 generations ofPokemongames as of the latest entries,Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, many fans have noticed that the price of the standard Poke Ball has consistently remained at 200 Pokedollars across every region for more than 25 years. Alongside such a stable economy, a long list of benefits such as universally free healthcare, gyms, and education proves that the world ofPokemon Scarlet and Violetwould seem to be a very comfortable one to live in.
The freshly-releasedPokemon Scarlet and Violetgames have been especially popular since their launch on Friday, dominating social media for more than a few reasons. TheGeneration 9Pokemontitles have received widespread criticismdue to the poor state of the game at launch, with a barrage of performance issues and glitches taking fans by surprise. That said, many players have expressed just how much they’re enjoying the new games in spite of their flaws, with some fans going as far as to claim thatPokemon Scarlet and Violetrepresent their favoritePokemongames so far.

As players have set out on their ambitious journeys around thevast but questionably-textured Paldea region, a fewPokemonenthusiasts in a Reddit thread created by TheJesterOfHyrule have taken the chance to point out how even now, prices for most items in the Poke-Mart have remained the same over all these years. Since apparently every region within the wonderful world ofPokemonuses the same universal currency, and items such as the Poke Ball have suffered no change in price, fans are confident that thePokemonworld boasts an economy that is completely immune to inflation. Not only that, but universally free healthcare, affordable and available housing, environmentally-friendly cities, and many other examples set a standard that the real world should aim for too.
As ideal as living in the world ofPokemonwould appear to be, it’s safe to say that many aspects of it don’t make much sense. For example,Pokemonfans have long been asking questionssuch as where all the non-trainer schools are, why do most houses have fewer beds than the number of people living in them, and perhaps most pressing, why does every Pokemon Center in the world have identical staff?
On top of all that, most fans will surely agree that the real world could do without all theevil groups looking to kick off apocalyptic events in the world ofPokemon. While the many rich regions of thePokemonworld might look much more appealing than their real-life counterparts, fans wishing to embark on journeys with their own Pokemon will just have to settle for doing so in a virtual space.
