I don't think I want any lemonade, I'm saving my money to put my pokemon in the free cli-, You know what Nevermind, two cups please.
Every region is just a better version of a Canada when you think about it.
What?
Lemonade Stand owners need to think big too.
It's not even real lemonade.
I cant think of any witty joke to put here, so pretend there is a pokeball joke here please
This is what happens when you get free healthcare, the insurance companies resort to selling lemonade and scam you on that instead.
That's why hospitals aren't free. Of couse, you get great and quick attention in emergencies for no cost, but are you really going to sacrifice a refreshing drink for that?
Today's people and their priorities…
The lemonade I buy is for the Pokemon, too.
I want a drink. So.. Thirsty.. ;_;
350… but like, Pokemon money works like yen. So it’s more like… 3.50 I mean… you battle a bunch of kids in the begining who give you that much for winning. You think every kid is walking around with hundreds of dollars on them? It’s just their pocket change you’re being awarded.
I hope the Republicans use this to rally against Obama's public health care plan.
I encourage the use of 'what the shit' in all political arguments.

PROFIT! (and days of gameplay wasted)
You're lying, I just spoke with Sniper, he says he works on the lemonade company and he said their ingredients are……completely………………natural………………
Please excuse me while I get rid of my yesteday's lunch….
Did someone just say pokeball jokes? http://www.brawlinthefamily.com/comics/2010-07-05…
Catching pokemon is cheaper than buying lemonade :D
Remember though, Pokemon was made in Japan. If you look at Pokemon currency as Yen, it makes more sense (350 yen = $3.50)
What the shit Shawn, I have replied twice to this comment and it sudently disappears from the face of the internet
Gary Motherfucking Oak isn't messing with the servers again is he?
They were getting caught in the spam/moderation filter. Certain keywords/phrases will put comments on hold.
The hospitals hope to see you again, I could say less about the lemonade company.
Refreshing drinks are serious business in the Pokemon world. Just ask Saffron's guard.
Drink 35,000 worth of lemonades.
Never find a bathroom.
$4.10
I got given a free Eevee, too. Does that mean lemonade is worth more than an Eevee's life?
I second that notion!
that's preposterous! That could never happen! Next thing you know, they'll tell me hedgehogs can be fast and engees can elongate their necks!
But then I won't be able to buy lemonade!
Spoil your pokemon
Never eat or drink a thing
taxes on everything so healthcare is free go ahead bitch about your 350 lemonade you barly buy on your never having to eat drink talk use the bathroom journey of catching pokemon and so happen you climb that mountain and never get hurt that there are no human hospitals
god the economy is fucked all around screw the lemonade that you bought for your pokemon and not you! what about your own health or the fact you can live without eating drinking bathing. omg…. Everyone in Kanto is a fucking robot!!!!
It isn't just ordinary lemonade though. Ordinary lemonade isn't an omnispecies instant healing drink. I don't know what the hell is in it that stuff, but I bet the longer term consequences make snorting asbestos look healthy by comparison.
This is a failure. Pokemon money is based on yen, and 350 for lemonade in Japan is perfectly normal. 350 in dollars is $2.99.
You spoke to the wrong man to be informed on how the lemonade is made…
Sweet lemonade, sweet sweet lemonade.
Keep looking for a bathroom
Remember that there have never been bathrooms in Kanto
Stand on a mountain and piss for three years.
I'm not paying four bucks for LEMONADE! >:U
How many games did it take before they got Beavers?
We had beaver HATS before there was a beaver Pokémon.
It costs $200 to enslave an animal for life and force it to live inside of a computer.
The answer is yes.
Free healthcare and heinously overpriced sugary beverages? Hmm…sounds like a certain country I know…sure it’s Kanto that we’re talking about here?
I can get stabbed, cut, exploded, burned, paralyzed, poisoned, crushed, shot, ran over, and knocked out and just go to the hospital for free, but if I want to quench my god damn thirst, I gotta pay 350 for a mutha effin lemonade?
But I can always get a free bike from somewhere else, I'm black! :D
Everyone's a robot?
So it's like a twisted version of Professor Layton and the Curious Village, then.
But what about us diabetics that need the plan to ensure our health?>_>
Hey your in Japan, and they have to import stuff like lemons. It will cost more over there.
BTW do not try to buy watermellons or any kind of melon there, they are VERY expensive.
Don't get pissed off at Lemonade costing 350 (y)en
You guys should not be going to the Pachinko (casino) thats where all of your money is going to.
That's because in the world of Pokemon, peoples are basically nothing compaired to Pokemons.
Lemonade: Now With Isotopes!
TREE FIDDY.
I NEED ABOUT TREE FIDDY.
inb4for twelve seconds
Your horse isn't that amazing.
It costs 350 dollars to drink this lemonade…
For twelve seconds.
BWAAAAHAH HAH HAH HAAH!

*Sip*
………You got lucky.
CURSES,foiled again

Its not just canada who has free healthcare!
Somehow Nomelaide doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
Brock. Phoebe.
GET YER OWN GODDAMN TREE FIDDY!
And stationary costs $50?
ALTERNATE COMMENT: See, that's how they get ya. They lure you in with free health care, then it costs you a fortune to make it worthwhile.
…..goddammit your making me think about it T_T
But, they are tasty…
I can appreciate how there would be humour from an american perspective, but everywhere else the concept of paying for a refreshing beverage but not for medical care isn't exactly outlandish.
Silly Leo and DM, the only black person in any series or franchise made in Japan is Bobobo.
And that guy from Afro Samurai.
Go to Olivine to see that eating contest.
Want to join, but can't.
Can't drink the water. Who knows what those Goldeen, Magikarp, Tentacool and others have been doing in there…
GAWDAMNIT, THAT'S WHY HE KEEP COMIN' BACK FOR MORE MONEY! ITS CUZ YOU KEEP GIVIN HIM TREE FIDDY!
Watch a young female fighting gym leader gorge herself…
as you starve.
Still need a dolphin pokémon. Just sayin'…
DELPHINO
To help your Pikachu run as fast as KENYANS! People will watch it use Quick Attack and think it's KENYAN, then it'll use ExtremeSpeed like KENYANS against actual KENYANS and it'll be a tie and then release it to the wild in KENYAAAAAA.
“SHUT THE F*** UP YOU TITTY MONSTER!”
Ooooh I had an idea…
Eevee + Metal Coat = NEW METAL EEVEELUTION!!!
400 EGGIES!!!
Too bad you can't sell them…through the black market…like Team Rocket does…
Well they could have ORAN Juice…except I'm used to having my OJ as an orange colored beverage…
At the age of ten you must make the ultimate choice:
Finish middle school, survive high school, and then if you've completed those two challenges, complete college and possible a trade school…
or attempt to become the ultimate pokémon league champion and take money from kids that can't battle right.
I fucking LOVE mountains!
I don't think Mihoshi was black. Just tanned really well.
Except for the new city that's just like New York, which is a city IN AMERICA!
It's been made public that Brock isn't black. In fact, the ONLY black character in Pokemon is appearing in Black/White as a gym leader. It's pretty big news.
I have never seen any livestock in Pokemon, makes you wonder what they eat for protein (Imagines a Miltank burger).
^ THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN…FOR SCIENCE!!!
*starts handing out tin-foil hats*
Now we are all crazy sons of bitches.
Especially when busty schoolgirls are involved!
It's my PEEEEEEE…
i say we start a boston lemon party.
New York doesn't have free health care.
Tentacool, used Toxic!
It missed!
Civilians were poisoned!
FOR SCIENCE!!!
WHY WASN'T I TOLD?!?
So I take it he's Asian then? Or is his ethnicity just indeterminable?
This is why I drink Kool-Aid…because I'm…you know…
*Sunglasses*
Kool.
OH YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!
The joys of Socialism!*
*Note the sarcasm dripping off your screen from this statement.
You want bathing? Go to Hoenn, there's a hot spring there. It's only a short, intercontinental hop away.
I fucking love peeing! ……I mean mountains. Yeah mountains.
but there was an eatathon in kanto and mayline ate 8 bowls of food
gentleman, i said we must start a boston lemonade party.
that's why i wanted to join in pokemon blue…
well they do eat pokemon like farfetche'd
No no no the proper formula is this:
Tentacool + busty schoolgirls = Tentacle rape
Have you learned nothing?!? THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!!!
Gold: "I've finally found you!!! I'm here to take you on!!!"
Red: "…"
Gold: "Didn't you hear me? I've become the pokémon league champion in Johto AND Kanto. I have to defeat you now!"
Red: "…"
Gold: "What're you doing?"
Red: "Just a little more…aahhhh. That's the ticket…Okay, sorry bout that. I had to take a leak. So what's up?"
Gold: "…"
"Frocobo" from Final Fantasy 13
I'd actually consider that to be a monopoly brought about by capitalism.
What if we all are error.
I mean robots.
Yeah…………
Nope. In a purely capitalistic environment, the market would determine prices via a supply/demand methodology. There would be no free anything in capitalism. Considering that the healthcare in the Pokeymans universe is free everywhere, that universe is under a worldwide Marxist modelled form of government tooled towards the support of Pokemon trainers for some god unknown reason. Also, since the healthcare is free, we can consider that it is a function of the state (government) and can therefore assume that everything else is taxed out the ass in order to support said healthcare.
Lrn2Politicaltheory
But this is pokemon not monopoly.
Tell him you have it and he'll come.
pffft
I got a codebreaker, infinite everything.
If only the real world was like that.
Welcome to the world of pokemon, we have free health care
Bikes cost 999,999,999
Lemonade, 350
ropes magically teleport you
everytime you win a battle you mug someone
Gym leaders stand in the same damn spot for their entire life
No pokemon trainers have fathers, unless they are pokemon professors, or a gym leader
The only education system only keeps kids till their 10
Slyph Co. Owns EVERYTHING
Don't ask were the meat came from, also don't ask why you never see that level 100 magikarp you released into the wild, he just is avoiding you, we tottally didn't fry him up and serve him with a side of chips
Small birds can carry you long distances as fast as gaint fucking dragons
Every round pokemon is a walking bomb
Pokemon have sex only when no one is looking, and also go through the birth process in about 5 seconds and apparently all lay eggs
Pokemon do all the work
There are no wars
we just have one rule
never
give
a
magikarp
fucking
steriods
HEY, LISTEN!!!
IT'S A TRAP!!!
Again, monopoly on beverages. The market would not determine the price.
Also, what is it, $250 for water and $300 for soda?
Hedgehogs could never be fast, their wobbly leg syndrome wont allow it.
Money should not be a big problem considering we steal money from homeless 10 year old bug nerds.
Impressing chicks with our expensive balls however is quite an unfortunate matter.
actually the gym leaders do move in soulsilver and heartgold but yeah mostly the same place
& Professor Oak eats Krabby.
Coolboy trainer: What a great battle, maybe we'll fight again
You: *Ahem*
Coolboy trainer: ….-reaches into pocket and puts money into hand-
You: good.
You dont have too worry about the bad economy, you really need to worry about their gambling issues
Sliph co can't own everything…"Checks underware"
…you may be on to something…
I AM ERROR
*Clickclickclick*…..Oh my god who touched Scyther?…alright…WHO TOUCHED MY BALLS!?
*sings "The Morning After" backwards*
And then we can all shoot it down by saying "The money is based on Japanese Yen"
and then oak came.
But I use Old Spice. So my horse kinda just randomly appears. And I ride it Backwards.
Isn't there a pokemon version of Monopoly?
Actually, Japan produces watermelons. However, they make varieties that are expensive due to their chance of failure to produce. …The more you know!
They do have Berry Juice in the games, but apparently you can only get them by forcing your Pokemon to compete, stealing a man's Shellder, or using a Blender, which there seems to only be one way to obtain.

Is it bad that I thought about the Watermelon squares in mario sunshine?
Also: I was going to make the some comment about the Yen to American currency thing. So… while 350 yen is still a bit much in american currency, at least it is not retardadly high.
Think about it, no matter what region or city you are in everything costs the exact same, no competing businesses at all, Slpyh Co Regulates EVERYTHING, From shop prices to Heath Care
Yeah but there aren't any scantily clad females in that hot spring. Only a bunch of old fogeys. Even though Flannery is RIGHT NEXT DOOR. She can't take the time off her Gym Leader duties to relax in the spring behind the Pokémon Center.
VIDEO WAS TOO LONG. But it DID show the square watermelons (towards the middle) and no, you're not the only one that thought of Super Mario Sunshine the moment that they were mentioned.
Speaking of Pokemon Black and White, Why isn't the male protagonist (Black), actually black? Mind = Blown.
Actually, THIS is where eggs come from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=iv&v=GxC…
Suddenly making my evee and ditto spend their lives in the daycare seems alot weirder
I actually still have that, but the problem is every game ended in the same way. Someone yelling "USE FLAMETHROWER" then the guest getting horribly mutilated.
Mind=fucked
If Team Rocket is trying to steal Pokemon…and you're using Pokemon to rob people….
….General Bison….is a bad man?
….to tell me?
Actually, it's a Shuckle.
a pokeball that could potentially catch the God of pokemon costs less than a glass of lemonade?
seems reasonable
- How about having a 10 year old stop evil organizations from taking over the world by defeating them in simple battles?
- How come none of the goons grab him when he walks by?
- Who lets a 6 year old swim out to the middle of the ocean?
- Why don't trainers evolve thier Magikarp?
- Why does a 47-foot whale only weigh 877lbs?
- How is Bug superior to Dark?
- Why does a Moo Moo Milk cost 500 when 2 Super Potions cost 1400?
- Why does my name get 7 spaces and Pokemon names get 10?
It's those damned gas prices doing it… wait… they don't have cars either! WHAT THE FUCKIN SHIT?!?!
O.O you know i never looked at it that way. Silph co has a monopoly over the entire pokemon world. its a complete… communistic society… i'll never play pokemon the same way again….
yea and even THAT one came out retarded >_>
P.S.: it's nice to see another supporter of beavers.
It also seems weird how that it's cheaper to buy a Poke'ball for 200 than lemonade for 350 while a Poke'ball is a complicated device able to store large powerful creatures in a convenient hand held size.
It's like having a iPad being cheaper then a bottle of water. WHAT THE SHIT.
Card Games on motorcycles
Let's think for a bit shall we? Pokémon is a Japanese game. Means it's probably based off that culture. The currency used in the Poke-universe is a fantasy version of the yen. 350 yen are barely 3 bucks. Or did you think a bug catcher boy would carry around 350 bucks?
NO. No explaining the joke!
as they've said before the 350 is probably yen…..
hehe 2$ for a little ball that can catch a monster. if pokemon becomes real one day for some wierd reason im buying pokeballs for sure
His name is Bobobo-bobo-bobobo.
I'm gonna burn Oak's house down!
WITH THE LEMONADE!
Canada
in the Unova games they have lorries… but no fuel stations .___.
