How it’s built
- Taken from PokeBeach, a Pokémon fan-news site, which gives a fee history: about $20 in 2013, $30–40 in 2017, about $50 in 2018, $55–60 after Covid, about $65–70 in 2022.
What we assumed
- The fan site’s history is accurate for each year.No official fee schedule for these years is in the research. The text is also a tool’s paraphrase of the article, not a verbatim quote.
Sanity check
The 2022 end point matches Dot Esports, which reported Baltimore’s fee rising from $60 to $70 after tax.
The values
- 2013: ~20 Masters, Juniors/Seniors free
- 2016: Juniors/Seniors pay as Masters
- 2017: 30-40 all divisions
- 2018: avg 50
- Pre-2013: 0
- Post-Covid: 55-60
Some detail is too fine to show here; it is kept in the trainer’s notes.
