Pokémon video games
The first Pokémon games, Pokémon Red and Blue, were released in Indonesia in limited numbers. The first truly well-known Pokémon game for Indonesia was Pokémon Yellow, which was released in 2001.
So far, all internationally released main games until HeartGold and SoulSilver have been available in Indonesia. Usually, these games are available within several months to one year after their North American releases.
Many pirated copies of hack games, as well as official games, are also sold in Indonesia, especially the infamous game ChaosBlack and Quartz, which at first was mistaken by people as official.
Spin-off Pokémon games that are available in English language such as Pokémon Pinball, Ranger and the Mystery Dungeon series, have been released in Indonesia as well.
Pokémon anime
The first episode of the Pokémon anime was aired in March 3, 2001 every Sunday at 7.00 p.m - 7.30 p.m (GMT +7) by Surya Citra Televisi Indonesia, a commercial TV station owned by Bimantara Citra.[1] Suddenly, the broadcast was moved on every Sunday at 9.30 a.m - 10.00 a.m.
The Indonesian dub was mainly based on the Japanese version; however, proper names from the English version were used. Most characters of the day are renamed in the dub, as well as main character Ash Ketchum, who was given the dub name Ali. In a short period of time, Pokémon became well-known amongst children and young people. However, from the third season, the Pokémon anime lost its popularity. Soon after the Orange League saga, the show was stopped indefinitely.
The anime series did not continuously air until December 26, 2004, when Indosiar Visual Mandiri, took over and began their first broadcast from Johto saga every Sunday from 7.30 a.m - 8.00 a.m (GMT +7).[2] Unfortunately, the inconsistency began when Indosiar retained all Japanese names for main characters, towns, and items (eg. Poké Ball is referred as Bola Monster, while Pallet Town as Kota Masara). The most controversial for the fans was the retaining of Pokémon name to Japanese. Despite the controversy, many fans still support this positive effort for retaining the main character's Japanese names.
In early February 2010, for unknown reasons, Indosiar skipped half of the Advanced Generation series (until the end of the Battle Frontier saga) and started over from the first episode of the Diamond & Pearl series.
In Indonesia, no Pokémon movies have premiered in any theaters. Instead, several Pokémon movies were aired on TV. As SCTV era, only the first Pokémon movie was aired. As Indosiar took over, they aired several movies from Revelation of Lugia until The Guardians of Altomare around June 2008. Finally, the two most recent movies in Indonesia, Wishing Star of the Seven Nights: Jirachi and Sky-Splitting Visitor: Deoxys premiered around November - December 2008.
Almost all of the special series, such as Pokémon Chronicles (including The Legend of Thunder!), as well as the Pikachu shorts were aired between Pokémon: Master Quest and Advanced Generation series.
Unlike the other dubs, the Indonesian dub has not any banned episodes so far, other than the infamous episode that banned in worldwide.
Several Pokémon episodes and movies are also sold in DVDs and CDs on some regions of the Indonesia, although they are not exactly official. Most of them are dubbed in English or Mandarin and subtitled in Indonesian.
