The only renewable ways to earn money in Yellow were the move payday - which is painfully slow - or re-battling the elite 4. There is no way to re-battle regular trainers and no respawning items you can farm and sell.

You don't really need money to enter the Safari Zone in Yellow, if I remember correctly.

They just let you in with less safari balls if you're short on money.

You can't buy the bike. If you notice, it's actually a dollar than you can possibly have. ;)

@MysticGengar Tea isn't in Gen 1. Though it is true that you have to buy a drink.
That and Safari Zone at the only places in the game you HAVE to spend money to proceed. So, hopefully you have some money to spare.

Yes, that means at Safari Zone, DO NOT run out of money. Save-scum if you get low on money for affording the Safari Zone as there are two items inside that you MUST collect to proceed. [spoiler]Gold Teeth and HM03[/spoiler]

Hopefully you didn't lock yourself out of that one city you need to buy tea to get into.

I would reccomend just going back through a bunch of old routes to fight trainers. You likely skipped a few!

Don't bother saving up for a bike.

If you run out of trainers and treasures to get money from, you can always rebattle the elite four, or teach pay day to one of your pokemon.

@Jacknotty59 I found that once I'd gotten beyond the first gym money started coming pretty thick and fast.

I found I had to ignore the Mart at first because I didn't have enough money, and the little I had got wasted using Poké Balls that didn't capture the Mon I tried for. So instead I just had to grind until my Mon were levelled up enough to beat the first gym.

After that there's loads of trainers dotted around you can part from their cash. I soon had more money than I could be bothered to spend. Unless you decide to save up for a [spoiler]bike[/spoiler] of course ;)
