RFID Chips
RFID Chips
Ever since the end of the ditto war, RFID chips were used to keep track of the ditto and dittokin. These chips were designed to positively identify a ditto as themselves. This became commonplace until about 50 years after the war war over when one ditto launched a lawsuit against The Council claiming discrimination.
As a result of this claim and not wanting to appear to be discriminating against the ditto and thus causing another war. The Council decided that it would extend the RFID chip program to all sentient pokemon, pokemorphs and owned wild-mon.
The Law
The law does actually require everyone to be implanted with an government issued RFID chip. This is in fact the very first hint that someone isnt from this time when they try to pay with yen notes. These RFID chips have been tied to commerce and voting and other such things for over 200 years.
The Technology
The RFID chips contain ROM, Flashable ROM and Flash Memory. Given the miniturization of technology and other factors these fit into a bubble about the size of a pinhead.
The ROM contains a single 128-bit Unique Identity Number (UIN), these numbers are non-sequential and randomly generated with duplicates in the database being tossed out and another number being chosen. This number is virtually impossible to change barring the issuance of a new UIN. This extremely long number is actually burned in microscopically onto the casing of the implant.
Some notes on RFID: 1) It is updated by healing machines and purchase machines at stores. 2) It is updated by GOVERNMENT or MILITARY level RFID scanners. 3) It is NOT updated by consumer level RFID scanners. 4) Consumer level RFID scanners, healing machines, and purchase machines, cannot read section N. 5) It also cannot read section M if bit 3 of Section N is set.

The Flashable ROM contains a hashed value of your Name, Birthday, Gender and UIN and is used in combination with the UIN to authenticate your identity for any financial or government transactions.
Flash Memory on the RFID chip is used primarily by financial and government institutions which is used for record IDs. In combination with the other two pieces of information allow the person to gain access to their information.
RFID chips specifications indicate that they are capable of being read from up to 4 inches away and has a very unique signature when brought under radio wave induction that is difficult or impossible to reproduce. RFID chips come in a wide variety of technologies for each and every type of pokemon.
Useage
Most financial transactions are done by the cashier ringing up the sale. The customer then just puts their hand on the counter or passes it near an antenna for the devices to garner the information in encrypted form and send it out. When received on the bank end it is decrypted and then the sale is either signaled as authorized or denied.
Police officers and the Military have access to classified devices which can read RFID chips from several meters away (the estimated range is somewhere up to 3 meters) and works by generating a huge pulse of radio energy in the direction of the target which the RFID chip responds to frequency induction and is broadcasted over a much larger area than normal.
