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