  • Though a lot of us have just experienced the franchise in English, Pokémon is available in many different languages. Have you experienced any parts of the franchise in different languages? This can be playing the games in Spanish, watching the Japanese dubbed anime, reading the manga in Korean, and so on! Maybe you're someone whose first language isn't English and you therefore experienced it in your language? Discuss!

  • English and Japanese. I've played the games in English, and watched some of the Japanese version of the anime in the past. I like how the Japanese version of the anime sounds, if I'm being honest. I've also looked at some raws of Pokemon Pipipi (it's an old shoujo manga) in Japanese, too. I've also bought Pokemon bean paste buns once at an Asian Market, and those were, I believe, Korean. So, yeah.

  • I've been watching the series in Japanese since Sun & Moon began (with English subs). I've also played and own a couple of the games in Japanese (Platinum and Green) and used to find Japanese booster packs at the mall. Other than that, mainly English.

  • English and Japanese, mainly. I'm sure I've played a bit in French or watched the Quebecois dub of the anime a bit, but nothing substantial enough to really remember. (Although I did have a brief infatuation with the European French names back around gen 4.)

    I try to consume Pokémon entirely in English, though, because I tend to forget names when I play in EN/JP and have to remember them in both.

  • For the most part, English. I have played some of the games in French (it's kind of a second language to me, I'm much better at reading it over speaking it however) and even my Alpha Sapphire is still in French. And there were some Anime episodes I watched in Japanese.

  • I've played the games only in English. But when it comes to the anime, it's almost always in Hindi. Sometimes in Telugu too. And yeah I watched a handful of episodes in Japanese.

  • I played in French and English, mostly English nowadays. I watched some episodes of the anime dubbed in French.
    That's it, really.

  • I've seen the Pokemon anime (the older Kanto ones) dubbed in my local language (Tagalog).

    Let's just say it was a pretty interesting experience.
