After tallying up the money he had on hand, Eichi began calculating the future expenses of raising Beedrill and the others, as well as the costs of making Pokéblocks himself.
He currently had seven Pokémon to raise. Once Dratini and Joltik hatched, he would have nine Pokémon to support.
And there was no way he could feed them ordinary Pokémon food and Pokéblocks.
If he was going to use something, it had to be the best. The Pokémon food Beedrill and the others ate now was all made by Eichi himself.
Pokémon food did not have as high a barrier to entry as Pokéblocks, so making it was no problem with his current abilities.
Of course, the food still required good ingredients. Beedrill's food alone cost around one thousand a day.
The other Pokémon were much the same, with roughly similar prices, though Heracross, Flygon, and Armaldo ate a little more.
The Pokémon food for seven Pokémon alone would cost around two hundred thousand a month, or roughly 2.4 million a year.
As for Pokéblocks, they had previously eaten ones bought outside. The Pokéblocks he could make at his current level were not yet as good as those on the market.
So, for now, they were still eating store-bought Pokéblocks.
The Pokéblocks consumed by six Pokémon in a day came out to around four thousand.
That was one hundred and twenty thousand a month, or around 1.44 million a year. The expenses for Pokéblocks would definitely increase even further from here on.
He planned to have Professor Kanter custom-make Pokéblocks for him once he returned. He had heard Professor Kanter mention it before.
The price for custom-making one month's worth of Pokémon food for someone outside was around three hundred thousand.
Bug-type Pokémon cost a little less, but even then
