This is a guide for binary-coded decimal and its use in all Generation I games.

Information

Binary-coded decimal is used for money in the Generation I games. It is programmed so that a hexadecimal value represents its visual decimal equivalent; the maximum value for any money byte is 0x99 (normally 153 in decimal, is read as 99 in binary-coded decimal).
