Pokémon games are sold in Romania in English.
Pokémon games are sold in Hungary in English. From the 1990s, Hungary was in the distribution network of the Austrian company Stadlbauer, until 2013. From 2014, products are sold by ConQuest Entertainment.<ref>http://www.nintendo.hu/elerhetosegek/</ref>


==Pokémon anime==
==Anime==
The first three seasons were first broadcasted on {{wp|RTL Club}} from June 10, 2000 till Early 2004 with episodes airing every Saturday and Sunday. During 2001, a controversy arose from ORTT that Pokémon effected children's brain development and that Pokémon had a negative impact on children. Despite this controversy, {{wp|RTL Club}} continued to aired because dropping  the anime during that time would have caused them to lose up to 50 million US Dollars in profit and they would lose a majority of their young audience which was tremendous at the time.<ref>[https://hu.toonsphere.com/2015/04/pokemon-anime-magyarorszagi-tortenete-r/ Pokémon: Az anime magyarországi története] - toonsphere.com</ref> Beginning in Early 2004 known as A + (or Anime +) begam to re-air season 1 of the anime before jumping to Season 4 and moving on from there till Mid-2006 when the company was sold and changed its name to Animax. Animax aired seasons 5 & 6 through 2007, though the exact air dates for these seasons are unkown. The RTL Club had once again started the anime's 7th season, but after three runs it was removed from TV after the 315th episode. It is likely that the full eighth and perhaps the ninth season will be synced, it will only be filed in the channel's archive. It is unknown whether the 9th season was dubbed or was shown with only Hungarian subtitles. The 10th & 11th seasons of the Diamond and Pearl Series began to air on Jetix (previously named Fox Kids and later renamed Disney Channel) in 2009 but most of voice actors being replaced. However, when Jetix changed into the Disney Channel, season 12 was made and aired normally with the original voice actors being brought back till Early 2011. However, like in Romania, the 13th season of the Diamond and Pearl series was skipped. Anything beyond Galactic Battles (Season 12) hasn’t been dubbed as of now. Reasons to this have been unknown.
The first three seasons were first broadcast on {{wp|RTL Club}} from June 10, 2000 to early 2004, with episodes airing every Saturday and Sunday. The titles for episodes of those seasons were localized with the intros. After [[S03]], for unknown reasons, they stopped localizing the episode titles, as well as dubbing the Intros until ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''.  


Despite the airings of the first 8 seasons, only the Intros of seasons 1 through 3 and seasons 10 through 12 were actually dubbed and translated into Hungarian. The intros of seasons 4 through 8 were left in English.
During 2001, a controversy similar to those made in {{pmin|the Arab world}} and {{pmin|Turkey}} around the same time, made by ORTT, stated that Pokémon brainwashed children and that it had a negative impact on them and their brain development. This controversy eventually caused the show to be shut down. The show had initially continued to air the show because {{wp|RTL Club}} believed, at the time, that dropping it would have caused them to lose up to about 50 million Euros in revenue as well  a majority of their audience, which were mostly of ages 4-17.<ref>[https://hu.toonsphere.com/2015/04/pokemon-anime-magyarorszagi-tortenete-r/ Pokémon: Az anime magyarországi története] - toonsphere.com</ref>


===Pokémon movies===
Beginning in early 2004, a new anime-specific channel known as {{wp|A+}} began to re-air [[S01]] in its starting lineup. Instead of re-airing [[S02]] and [[S03]], [[S04]] aired from around early to mid-2005 until mid-2006, when the company was sold and changed its name to {{wp|Animax}}. {{wp|Animax}} aired [[S05]] and [[S06]] through mid-2007 and mid-2008, respectively, though the exact air dates for these seasons are unknown. These seasons were also broadcasted on {{wp|RTL Club}} at around the same time, as well as [[S07]] though after the airing of [[AG043]], it was removed from TV altogether.  
In total, only the first 7 movies were released in Hungary despite the Diamond and Pearl series being aired. No other films beyond the 7th movie has dubbed as of now. In January and October 2005, the RTL Club released the Pokémon's 3rd film under the title Pokémon 3 - Az öntudatlan betűi. On June 23, 2008, the Cinemax Channel (Animax's parent channel) aired Pokémon: The First Movie and re-aired it several times throughout the following weeks and months. RTL Club aired the 4th and 6th Movies on March 19, 2011 which were later repeated on May 18 and May 25 respectively. On June 16, 2011, the same channel aired the 5th movie was released and also repeated on August 25th. The 7th film  was also watchable on December 2014 and February 2015. No other have been made or released as of now.
 
It would not return until early-2009 when [[S10]] and [[S11]] began to air on {{wp|Jetix}} (previously named {{wp|Fox Kids}} and later renamed {{wp|Disney Channel}}) though with most of voice actors having been replaced, which caused great outrage amongst fans, who criticized the poor quality translations. However, when {{wp|Jetix}} changed into the {{wp|Disney Channel}}, [[S12]] was released with many of the original voice actors reprising their roles. The anime continued to air until mid-to-late 2011. However, like in Romania, [[S13]] was skipped. Anything beyond [[S12]] hadn’t been dubbed, due to ORTT discontinuing the show. The show made, however, its official return to Hungary on July 1, 2021 with the release of ''[[S23|Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
 
The only opening themes of the anime that were translated and dubbed into Hungarian were of [[S01]] through [[S03]], [[S10]] through [[S12]] as well as [[S23]] and [[S24]]. The intros of [[S04]] through [[S07]] were left in English due to ORTT making claims that the theme songs were making product placements via the lyrics since commercial advertising in anime shows were illegal at that time.
 
===Movies===
In total, [[M01]] to [[M08]], as well as [[M10]] and [[M11]], were released in Hungary. All of the other movies were skipped due to unknown reasons. On November 9, 2000, [[M01]] saw its theatrical release. [[M02]] was released on April 5, 2001. On March 28, 2004, RTL Club aired [[M03]] before releasing it in theaters. RTL Club aired [[M04]] and [[M06]] on March 19, 2011, which were later re-aired on May 18 and May 25. On June 16, 2011, the same channel aired [[M05]], and it was released and also rerun on August 25. [[M07]] was also made watchable on December 2014 and February 2015. The release dates for [[M08]], [[M10]], and [[M11]] are unknown. Its also unknown as to why there was a big discrepancy between [[M03]] and [[M04]]. No other movies would be made or released in the country until the showing of the Hungarian dubbed version of ''{{DetPikMov}}'' in cinemas on May 9, 2019. Also, a Hungarian dub of [[M22]] was released on Netflix on February 27, 2020.

The Pokémon franchise arrived in Hungary with the release of Pokémon - A népszerű TV-sorozat zenéje in late 1999. This was followed by the anime with the airing of Téged választalak, Pikachu! on June 10, 2000.

Video games

Pokémon games are sold in Hungary in English. From the 1990s, Hungary was in the distribution network of the Austrian company Stadlbauer, until 2013. From 2014, products are sold by ConQuest Entertainment.[1]

Anime

The first three seasons were first broadcast on RTL Club from June 10, 2000 to early 2004, with episodes airing every Saturday and Sunday. The titles for episodes of those seasons were localized with the intros. After S03, for unknown reasons, they stopped localizing the episode titles, as well as dubbing the Intros until Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl.

During 2001, a controversy similar to those made in the Arab world and Turkey around the same time, made by ORTT, stated that Pokémon brainwashed children and that it had a negative impact on them and their brain development. This controversy eventually caused the show to be shut down. The show had initially continued to air the show because RTL Club believed, at the time, that dropping it would have caused them to lose up to about 50 million Euros in revenue as well a majority of their audience, which were mostly of ages 4-17.[2]

Beginning in early 2004, a new anime-specific channel known as A+ began to re-air S01 in its starting lineup. Instead of re-airing S02 and S03, S04 aired from around early to mid-2005 until mid-2006, when the company was sold and changed its name to Animax. Animax aired S05 and S06 through mid-2007 and mid-2008, respectively, though the exact air dates for these seasons are unknown. These seasons were also broadcasted on RTL Club at around the same time, as well as S07 though after the airing of AG043, it was removed from TV altogether.

It would not return until early-2009 when S10 and S11 began to air on Jetix (previously named Fox Kids and later renamed Disney Channel) though with most of voice actors having been replaced, which caused great outrage amongst fans, who criticized the poor quality translations. However, when Jetix changed into the Disney Channel, S12 was released with many of the original voice actors reprising their roles. The anime continued to air until mid-to-late 2011. However, like in Romania, S13 was skipped. Anything beyond S12 hadn’t been dubbed, due to ORTT discontinuing the show. The show made, however, its official return to Hungary on July 1, 2021 with the release of Pokémon Journeys: The Series.

The only opening themes of the anime that were translated and dubbed into Hungarian were of S01 through S03, S10 through S12 as well as S23 and S24. The intros of S04 through S07 were left in English due to ORTT making claims that the theme songs were making product placements via the lyrics since commercial advertising in anime shows were illegal at that time.

Movies

In total, M01 to M08, as well as M10 and M11, were released in Hungary. All of the other movies were skipped due to unknown reasons. On November 9, 2000, M01 saw its theatrical release. M02 was released on April 5, 2001. On March 28, 2004, RTL Club aired M03 before releasing it in theaters. RTL Club aired M04 and M06 on March 19, 2011, which were later re-aired on May 18 and May 25. On June 16, 2011, the same channel aired M05, and it was released and also rerun on August 25. M07 was also made watchable on December 2014 and February 2015. The release dates for M08, M10, and M11 are unknown. Its also unknown as to why there was a big discrepancy between M03 and M04. No other movies would be made or released in the country until the showing of the Hungarian dubbed version of POKÉMON Detective Pikachu in cinemas on May 9, 2019. Also, a Hungarian dub of M22 was released on Netflix on February 27, 2020.
