MISSION START!

1. What currency do civvies use?
2. How do they make more of it?
3. How are large amounts of it stored?
4. How are counterfeits stopped, if at all?

5. What's the mortality rate of Pokemon in civvie clinic, seeing as civvie doctors have no access to human technology, no medical training, no access to information networks to make a proper diagnosis, and no real way to sterilize any medical tools(assuming they even have those, and heating them doesn't count as it will ruin most precision tools)

6. How do civvies maintain and update increasing amounts of records without being able to digitize them?
7. For that matter, do civvies have their own written language, or do they use English/human words
8. How are civvies taught how to read and/or write? Who teaches things like basic math(since they deal with money!), And where do they get their curriculums from?
9. How do civvies handle importing goods and services they can't produce themselves?(like most of the construction materials used in any pokevore story ever!)

MOAR LATER, ANSWERS NAO

1+2: Admittedly this is based on the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, where the currency is Poke, and it's generally found in dungeons. Although in that case most of the income in the games is given to you for completing missions, which implies that there is a steady source being generated somehow. For my story I just use the generic Poke term as well, though there isn't really an easy answer as to where all the money could be coming from. It could be a discontinued currency that was attempted to be made by the humans when Pokemon Training first became a thing, as an alternative to making young Pokemon trainers use (and lose) actual money during their adventures. Going broke in the middle of a wilderness trek because you lose a battle to young Joey and his Rattata wouldn't be a very ideal situation. But perhaps after a while the whole idea of forfeiting money became obsolete, and so there was a large amount of false gold coins lying around that nobody wanted to use. It wouldn't explain how more of it is made, but it could be a start of an explanation as to where it all came from.

3: Stony Plain doesn't really have anything that could be considered a modern bank by any means, but it does have a place where excess money is stored and accounted for. It's run by Harald, the Carracosta who is part of the Town Council. He has a few Pokemon who are hired by him to help keep track of the money as well. It's a horribly inefficient system compared to what the humans would enjoy, and it greatly relies on Harald not being greedy and corrupt, but it's the only thing they have.

4: If the explanation I gave earlier for the abundance of Poke holds up at all, there wouldn't really be any way of testing whether the money is counterfeit or not. By it's very definition it wouldn't be 'real' money, and so the humans making it wouldn't have worried about ensuring ways to keep it official. In fact, an influx of counterfeiting from clever humans could have been part of what ended up discontinuing it in the first place, and what caused there to be so damn much of the stuff. The long story short would be that there really wouldn't be a way to know if it's counterfeit or not, with the Guild and Harald just gathering as much of it as they can in a vague and directionless attempt to keep an economy running.

5: That is, admittedly, something that I tend to glaze over. Pre-modern medicine techniques were horrible and probably resulted in more deaths than lives saved. And especially with the existence of Pokemon centers and their healing machines, specific knowledge of Pokemon anatomy and the like would be shockingly hard to find even in the human societies. In the case of knowledge I just imagine there would be some Pokemon who have taken it upon themselves to try and learn as much as they could in order to save lives, perhaps Pokemon who once worked in Pokemon centers and had to help treat unfortunate Pokemon who didn't belong to trainers and thus couldn't be treated to the luxury of the healing machines and Pokeball stasis. These Pokemon would have tried to spread their knowledge as best as they could, especially with the civilizations popping up and having new Pokemon getting used to the idea of not just leaving the sick and injured to die in the wild like they were used to.

The lack of access to information networks and proper diagnosis probably means that there's a shocking amount of deaths that could have been prevented if it were humans treating them instead. Any medical equipment would probably have to be scrounged or outright stolen, if not made second-hand. As such there would probably be a lot of say, injuries requiring stitches or a proper cast that they might not have the equipment for. So it would mean they have to stay as patients in a clinic or hospital for far longer while they wait for the wounds to heal, maybe even improperly.

And lastly, if the Pokemon are even aware of sterilization techniques I imagine that it means they would carefully hoard as many clean tools as they can possibly steal, and only use them in an emergency. Once used they would never be able to be used again.

6: I can see that being a problem in increasingly large towns like Virtue or Stony Plain, where they get more and more people in every day. I've been glossing over exactly how they get things like paper. In truth I've been toying around with the idea of them eventually setting up a rudimentary self-contained computer network, one that's basically just run by a Porygon. Until then, I can see a lot of things slipping through the cracks very easily, like Gared still being in an officially functioning Rescue Team despite not having performed missions in years.

7: The Civvies do have their own written language, in the Mystery Dungeon games there's footprint runes, which is silly and I couldn't really use for this setting. It's based off of the Pokemon's own language, even though in the anime they only say their names and nothing else I do imagine that they can all speak to and understand each other, so the language is based off of that. I just have it all written in English in my stories for the sake of convenience.

8: There would just be Pokemon who are willing to step up and try to teach others. Reading and writing the language that they have would be the simplest thing to try and teach, but I imagine something like mathematics would be harder. Since Harald is the one in charge of the money, and is himself on the old side, he probably had a hand in teaching the first wave of settlers there the basics in adding and subtracting so that they weren't completely clueless. As for curriculums, there really wouldn't be any. Nowadays anybody who decides to officially become a teacher just has to have the permission of the Council, and they use whatever methods or goals they personally think is best.

9: Some of the construction materials I imagine are able to be handled by the Pokemon themselves. There are Pokemon easily capable of felling trees, and other Pokemon who can shape and cut them into whatever measurements they might need, even though it would be horribly rough. The rock Pokemon who helped to initially settle (and gave the town it's name) would have helped to move large amounts of raw materials. The shaping and construction of anything above mud and thatch huts would have taken a long time, and it would have certainly involved a lot of failed attempts, but the Pokemon slowly attracted Pokemon who used to live and work with humans, and were able to use their knowledge to improve the first wave's poor attempts.

Any goods that couldn't just be made by the civvie's own rough handiwork would be tougher. Any Pokemon that had connections to other city Pokemon who could obtain and sell them said items would be highly valued, and finding a human willing to trade things to Pokemon without asking too many questions would be a rare and highly sought after thing. And when all else failed, there would always be Pokemon willing to sneak into human cities and steal what they want in order to sell them back to the Pokemon towns, who wouldn't look twice at what they were buying.

And lastly, one slowly forming trend is Pokemon who have discovered their own means of producing goods, which would make them incredibly important and influential in the newly forming societies. But there will be more on that later on

1. How many pokémon are in stony plains?

2. How would the pokémon of stony plains react if one day a human walk in the town?

3. Do the inhabitants have access to things like a refrigerator? If not, do they use ice types to mimic it's use? (pretty random, i know)

4. How was your day? :)

1: I never really sat down and made an official number, but as a rough estimate I would say anywhere between 400 to 700 Pokemon.

2: There would basically be mass panic, with some Pokemon wanting to run, others wanting to attack, and a lot of arguing over what should be done. There would be a real fear that the human's arrival would only cause more to come, either trainers who want to capture them or an army who would try and wipe them out.

3: They do have some access to basic appliances. Some Pokemon are able to generate their own electricity, which is something the humans can't do, so all they need are a means to store and channel it. Stony Plain does have a source of copper wire (which is something that will actually be explained later) and the power grid, while basic, does exist and is run by an Electivire named Leandra on the town council.

4: Not too bad, thanks for asking x3

are their any neighboring pokemon cities to stony plains?

I haven't come up with any specifically yet, but I do imagine that there are other Pokemon towns and villages in the Hoenn Region. I know that Lorne's sister Alexia lives in one with her family, though I haven't gone into too much detail beyond that.
