    There are a multitude of ways to earn money in Pokémon X and Y, ranging from going through the Battle Chateau to tackling restaurant battles in Lumiose City. What was your preferred method of money-making? As far as in-game money itself goes, what was the most you had on hand at once?

    I fought the restaurants with the prize power activated and an amulet coin. It was nice and efficient and a good way to get things levelled up too.

    I never actually had the intention of earning money, but I earned a lot through League runs. I was just training my Pokémon, raising up their levels, and I noticed my funds had drastically increased. Then I went and spent it all :3

    Restaurants and seelling their things. It was like "You defeated us, take some food and sell it". I miss these ones :(

    Mostly I used the prize money power/amulet coin combo and first went through the Chateau, then went around the restaurants. Lastly I'd go to the Hotel Richisme or w/e it is and do the three jobs there. At the highest rank there you get I think it was 50,000 each job?

    Prize money O-power + Amulet coin+ Restaurants was the best. I particularly loved to sell the mushrooms they gave as prizes too! I think the most I've had in-game was 5 mil.
    I was rich, then I bought clothing. Yay!

    Chateau or Pokémon League + Amulet Coin + Prize Money Power level 3. Doing all these nabbed me Â¥97920 from Diantha alone (yay for multiplier stacking). Imagine if the Happy Hour Inkay were released outside of Japan (or if another Pokémon got the move and were available overseas). Since that apparently stacks with the Amulet Coin and the Prize Money Power, you could get Â¥195840 from Diantha if you did the max level Prize Money Power.

    As for most money on hand, I would like to say a couple million, but since a lot of it went toward clothes and Poke Balls and stuff I'm not entirely certain.

    The restaurants are really quite good for making money. I ended up using them more than I should've just to get some cash XD.

    I didn't have to try to get money, to be completely honest. Just by playing the game I had more as enough cash to buy anything I want, including all the clothes. I'm pretty sure I still have one or two million on my X game, and there's nothing left to buy :P

    I don't have a number, but my money is probly in the millions. I earn my money by not buying clothes and going through the league with an amulet coin/luck incense. I also do the restaurants and sell my useless items.

    I both farmed the Battle Chateu and the League for my money. Just give an amulet coin to my lead and bam. I didn't even use the prize money o power, and my money is around 9 mil. I farmed the Elite four a lot, I think most of my 160 hours in that game is just farming. I don't spend my money either, I just use the centers and live off the supplies I have left from my journey, so it's just been piling up. I should really go buy stuff.

    I've never actively tried to earn money in X/Y, but all of my funds are from winning battles; particularly the Elite Four, since I occasionally go through and re-challenge them to level grind my Pokémon. I don't quite remember how much money I currently have, but most likely a lot since I rarely bought anything during the course of the entire game outside of Ultra Balls/repels. The most I've spent in one sitting was buying a ton of Hyper Potions right before challenging the Pokémon League, haha.

    I trained up a bunch of Pokémon in the Battle Chateau by using my Amulet Coin Talonflame and before I knew it, I had 4,000,000 pokedollars XD

    Easily the Battle Chateau. I mean, was there really any competition? Haha. It made me so much money, I would sometimes spend a whole day in there just grinding for money. The restaurants were great too, just a bit too tedious for me, especially since you can't exactly take a break.

    For me, it was mostly just grinding on the Battle Chateau. It was also a great way to level up Pokémon quickly, because all the Trainers and Gym Leaders have Pokémon past level 50.

    I truthfully forget how much money I have, but I know it's not much. I just went with the story and didn't buy much, then once I finished I trained. Not that much to celebrate on, but I'm glad I at least got to play. *Shrug*

    For money, I mostly just grinded at Le Wow with an Amulet Coin and a Prize Money O-Power. I got tons of money that way, I maxed out my wallet several times while doing so, haha.
