A question for all you Pokemon fans

Have any of you suffered from a lack of money during the course of a game?

I was thinking about this because of my brother, who's playing through Black 2. He challenged Clay and was crushed because of his underleveled Pokemon, and he didn't even have any potions or revives or anything on him. I asked him why he didn't even bother to stock up on items before he challenged the gym. Turns out he had no money. Absolutely nothing to buy items with.

This has actually been a pattern with all the versions he's played, not just Black 2. He never seems to have enough money. And this has never been a problem with me, I always have WAY more than enough. (I'm actually replaying FireRed right now, and I have more than $5000 on me, plus a Nugget that I need to sell. I haven't beaten Misty yet.)

So is this just him, or do other people have this problem?

    I have so much money I spend it to make room for more money.
    He probably doesn't battle many NPCs?

    Except for Gold, I'm fine.

    The money system is there to create this problem. But most fans seem to have more money than they'll ever spend.

    The only time money seemed important to me? Well, stocking up for E4 in non-hack runs and that villa in Platinum. Furniture is too expensive.

    Sometimes. But several Trainer battles later I'm good.

    Never had that problem before. The only reason I would run out of money is from buying too many Pokéballs. But I still don't run out.

    I'm different, then, from all you rich trainers. I never have enough money, and by extension, supplies in general. I'm always low on Pokéballs and healing items. I don't know exactly why, but maybe it's because I keep buying vitamins. I can't help it, I'm the laziest Pokémon trainer to ever walk the earth.

    Only in Firered.

    I kept buying coins for the Game Corner so I could get enough coins to buy a Porygon (I can't play those games for shit). So now, I have about 900 Pokewhatevas in that game.

    Usually I purchase supplies conservatively, so most of the time I have enough money for whatever I need to buy. He probably needs to battle more NPCs.

    Well, in the postgame of Diamond, I ended up have very little due to idiotically spending it all on Max Repels.

    Only if I buy the expensive tm's in gen V games. But that's easily solved by not buying them untill after the E4.
