The Pound/Hash or {{Pounds}} is one of the few units that lack a name in game, only referred to as "weight". The symbol is a pun on the imperial mass measurement, where # is also known as the pound symbol. Despite this, there is no evidence that a pound/hash is equivalent to a real life pound. To distinguish the in game pound and the imperial pound, "hash" can be used instead. On this wiki, we avoid referring to this weight unit by name altogether as none are official, using [[template:Pounds]] or # wherever possible.
The Pound (plural Lbs.) or {{Pounds}} is the sole measure of weight. The symbol is a pun on the imperial mass measurement, where # is also known as the pound symbol. Despite this, there is no evidence that a pound/hash is equivalent to a real life pound. On this wiki, we previously avoided referring to this weight unit by using [[Template:Pounds]] or # wherever possible; in newer versions of the game, Lbs. is now visible in game and is the official name.
