Today I finally beat the Elite Four in Pokemon Soulsilver. While I was preparing for the match (five extremely difficult battles in a row), I went to New Bark Town and took out all the money I'd saved up over the game, and spent nearly all of it on full restores, hyper potions, and revives so I could stand a chance of winning. It occurred to me that if Pokemon were real life, it would be the equivalent of spending your life savings on a single event that, if you lose the battle, you're basically screwed because you've used all your items, you don't have any money, and you've beaten all the other trainers in the region.
But I won, so it doesn't matter. The elite four have some of the best payouts of any trainers in the game. Savings = restored.
The soul silver credits aren't as nice as even the Ruby/Saphire credits, which is disappointing because that was a whole system ago.
