Why a Pokéball Would Cost $6 in Real Life

Finding out how far our money would go in different countries around the world is pretty simple, but more elusive -- and much, much more important as well -- is finding out how much our money would be worth in the fictional places we frequent in our leisure time, like Star Wars' Coruscant or Game of Thrones' Westeros.

To the rescue is Mobile Money, who created the below infographic showing how much pounds and dollars are worth in 18 different fictional universes.
To find out how much our real world money would be worth compared to these fictional currencies, the site took the prices of items in those worlds and compared them with real world equivalent prices. Check out their results below.

This is where official reporting and support channels need to be visible and easy to access.
