my money caps out at 65000. It can't go any higher. Is this a glitch or normal?

This is perfectly normal.

It's because the money is stored in two bytes, or 16 bits. The highest number that can fit in 16 bits is 65535, which is 2^16 - 1. 65535 is a weird number that would confuse some gamers, though, so the programmers decided to use a nice, round number for the maximum, 65000.

Oh and by the way, it's also why the maximum ID number in Pokémon is 65535.

Seems that the amount of chiru is a two-byte value. I'm surprised it didn't cap off at 65535, lol.

EDIT: Whoops. I guess I missed Blaziken's post.
