'''Pokémon Theme''' is the opening theme song for the English [[dub]] of the first [[season]], [[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]], and is the first opening theme song for the English dub of the second season, [[S02|Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]]. It was used from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' (to ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]'' in the [[VIZ Media]] DVD release). Being featured in 83 episodes, it is the most-used dub opening theme. The opening animation is composed of clips from the first Japanese opening, [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]], and episode clips from the Pokémon: Indigo League season. It was written and produced by [[John Loeffler]]. The lead vocal was sung by [[Jason Paige]].

The song was played at the end of the VHS [[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]. A full version of the song is available on the [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]] and {{OBP|Pokémon X|CD}} audio CDs, and includes a second verse not usually heard in the show. This version is also featured in the {{aniseries|OS}} episodes ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'', ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', and ''Friends To The End''.

The song was covered by {{wp|Billy Crawford}}, and this version played during the opening credits of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', and is the first track on the [[Pokémon the First Movie (soundtrack)|movie's soundtrack]].

"Pokémon Theme" was later interpolated in the first verse of [[Born to Be a Winner]], the opening for the English dub's fourth season, [[S04|Johto League Champions]].

A [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub OP 17|second remix]] titled '''Pokémon Theme (Version XY)''' is the opening theme song for the season [[S17|Pokémon the Series: XY]]. It was used from ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' to ''[[XY049|Bonnie for the Defense!]]''. The opening animation is composed of clips from the first ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' Japanese opening, [[V (Volt)]]. A full-length version is used as the opening song of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.

An orchestral version of the song was performed in [[Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions]].

A [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub Movie 20 OP|third remix]] titled '''Pokémon Theme (Gotta Catch 'Em All)''' was the opening theme of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''. It was performed by Ben Dixon, produced by [[Ed Goldfarb]] and Stan Cotey, and mixed by Jeff Stuart Saltzman. A solo piano version of the theme performed by Goldfarb is used as part of the ending after {{so|I Choose You}}. It is also used as an insert song in ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]''.

A [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub Movie 22 OP|fourth remix]] titled '''Pokémon Theme (Mewtwo Mix)''' was the opening theme of ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''. It was performed by Ben Dixon and The Sad Truth with additional vocals by [[Haven Paschall]], Charity Goodin, and Hilary Thomas, with the power inside by [[Dani Marcus]], guitar by James Harman, synths and FX by Steve Mayer, arranged and produced by Ed Goldfarb, and mixed by Jeff Stuart Saltzman. An instrumental version of the original theme is used during the post-credits scene after [[Keep Evolving]].

The song is also partly sung in {{DetPikMov}} by {{OBP|Detective Pikachu|character}}, while in a state of misery.

===Synopsis===
[[File:OPJ01 Mew.png|thumb|250px|Mew]]
The clip begins with {{p|Mewtwo}} and a shining {{p|Mew}} floating in space, as the camera focuses on Earth, while the sun starts to rise. The next scene shows {{Ash}} alone in a stadium. After that, a {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{DL|Giselle|Cubone}} and {{AP|Pidgeotto}} are shown quickly, before changing to a {{AP|Bulbasaur}} being caught, to which Ash snaps excitedly. Shortly afterwards, the camera shows a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} using {{m|Lick}} on {{AP|Charmander}}, paralyzing him.

Ash then flips his hat backwards and throws a {{i|Poké Ball}} to the camera. In the following scene, Ash can be seen running along with his {{AP|Pikachu}}, an {{p|Arcanine}} and a {{p|Rapidash}}, who then jumps to the skies, disappearing between the [[legendary birds]], who are flying around. Then, a short clip of a {{DL|A.J.|Sandshrew}} unrolling itself, a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} and Charmander is shown, followed by Ash and Pikachu sitting on a {{p|Lapras}}, as they watch a {{p|Gyarados}} jumping out of the water, and a {{p|Dragonair}} jumping in. After that, a Poké Ball is seen trapping [[Ash's Caterpie|a Pokémon]] who has turned into red energy.

A battle between Pikachu and {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} is seen, with the former dodging a {{m|Body Slam}} of the latter; and then, a {{AP|Caterpie}} bracing for an {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}' and a {{TP|James|Koffing}}'s incoming attack. In the next scene, Ash is seen hugging his Pikachu, followed by a giant {{p|Tentacruel}} attacking a building. Ash then is seen holding a Poké Ball; followed by an {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Later, Ash appears to be looking at the screen, when {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} appear on either side of him, followed by [[Jessie]] and [[James]] rising up in front of them. Koffing, {{MTR}} and Ekans jump up next, followed by {{Gary}} holding a Poké Ball.

The camera then runs across {{p|Charizard}} while using {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{p|Blastoise}} while using {{m|Hydro Pump}} and {{p|Venusaur}}; before Pikachu runs between Ash and a {{tc|Lass}} and jumps. The next scene introduces {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Delia Ketchum]], [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]], as they nod, the camera then shows a giant Charizard using Flamethrower, and Ash and {{ashfr}} hide behind a boulder, later, a Squirtle is seen running towards Ash, followed by a hug.

The camera does a close-up on Pikachu, and subsequently zooms out, showing Pikachu standing on a Pidgeotto, a {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} holding a Squirtle, and a {{AP|Butterfree}} holding Bulbasaur. The last scene then shows up, on which Ash raises his feet and throws the Poké Ball to the screen, much like a {{wp|Pitcher|Baseball pitcher}}, followed by a spinning Poké Ball and the Pokémon logo.

* Moltres is the only one of the [[legendary birds]] that does not make an appearance in the opening. The footage from Aim to Be A Pokémon Master where it appeared was cut out.
* The first "Pokémon" sung after the guitar solo in the full version has different backing vocals added to it. This can be heard more clearly in the full instrumental version.
* The song was played on BBC Radio One's 2011 Christmas special.
* The singer of the Danish version, Michael Elo, was also the original Danish voice of Professor Oak.
* Xander Mobus, the voice of the [[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros.]] announcer since [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|the fourth entry]], sang the song upon request but got worn out after the first verse.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQPO-5WjpFU</ref>
* The song was number 1666 during the 2015 Top2000 on Radio 2 in the Netherlands.<ref>http://www.nporadio2.nl/song/48456/gotta-catch-m-all-pokemon-theme-song</ref>

Placing at number 232 in 2016 (1434 places higher than the previous year), number 284 in 2017, number 115 in 2018, number 127 in 2019 and number 187 in 2020.<ref>http://www.nporadio2.nl/song/48456/gotta-catch-m-all-pokemon-theme-song</ref>
* A 1998 episode of the Mexican TV show Nintendomania featured a segment on various elements of the Pokémon franchise. A fragment of what seems to be an early version of the song is played, featuring someone other than Jason Paige.<ref>https://twitter.com/helixchamber/status/1135226299298004992</ref>
* Although the theme was recorded in 1998, the extended theme was recorded in 1999 for the album [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]].

*Two [[Catchphrase]]s in [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Live]] reference lyrics from this song. They include, "It's you and me, but victory is MY destiny!", and "On my way to being the very best!"
* A mashup of this and the [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|first Japanese opening]] titled [[Pokémon Mezase Catch 'em All]] was posted on the official English and Japanese YouTube channels on March 10, 2023.
* In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, the lyrics used for the opening are taken from the second verse instead of the first.

* A [[List of Brazilian Portuguese Pokémon themes#LAIC 2026 version|remixed version]] of this song with Brazilian Portuguese, English, and Japanese lyrics was sung during the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClS4An0C9Bs opening ceremony] for the 2026 Latin America [[International Championships]] by the original Brazilian singer, Janaína Bianchi, and Haruhi Ya.

====Errors====
[[File:OPJ01 error 1.png|thumb|250px|Meowth's missing fang]]
* When {{MTR}}, {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}, and {{TP|James|Koffing}} all jump onscreen, Meowth's right fang disappears for a split-second.
* Several official sources (including lyric booklets from music CDs and closed captions in the animated series) mis-transcribe the lyrics as "Each Pokémon to understand the power that's inside." [[John Loeffler]] has stated that the intended lyric is "teach", not "each".<ref name="teach"/>
* The Polish title is mistranslated as ''Główny temat Pokémon'', whereas "theme" would rather mean "kompozycja" or "motyw" in this context instead of "temat".

===Synopsis===
A thick mist clears and {{Ash}}, {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} are shown standing on a hill. Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} are shown while the scene splits diagonally, with the other half showing Ash and Pikachu eating sandwiches. The next scene shows Serena while the scene splits diagonally, with the other half showing Serena and her Fennekin while she chooses between two hats. She throws the red hat away and wears the pink hat. Clemont and Bonnie are then shown and the scene splits diagonally, with the other half showing Clemont fixing one of his inventions while Bonnie chases after Chespin and Dedenne. Bonnie jumps onto Chespin and Dedenne and [[Clemontic Gear|Clemont's invention]] explodes.

The [[Team Rocket trio]] is on their balloon, holding binoculars. {{MTR}} accidentally falls and [[Jessie]] and [[James]] try to grab him. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} comes out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} and the trio falls out of their balloon. Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Quick Attack}}. Chespin uses {{m|Pin Missile}}, while Clemont instructs Bunnelby to use {{m|Dig}}. Bonnie jumps for joy while Dedenne uses {{m|Thunder Shock}}. Serena is shown while Fennekin uses {{m|Ember}}. Ash is then shown while Froakie shoots {{m|Water Pulse}}, and Fletchling uses {{m|Steel Wing}}. Pikachu finally uses {{m|Electro Ball}}. {{p|Lucario}} is (briefly) seen [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. Ash and his friends are running outside a restaurant.

The "Pokémon [[Gotta catch 'em all!]]" logo is shown while the following scenes are in the background (the logo is not present in certain international versions). Two {{p|Vivillon}} and three {{p|Swanna}} are flying in the sky near a grape tree. A school of {{p|Luvdisc}}, a school of {{p|Remoraid}}, a {{p|Gorebyss}}, {{p|Octillery}}, and {{p|Mantyke}} are swimming in the ocean. Two {{p|Furret}} are in a garden of flowers while four {{p|Swanna}} fly in the sky. A town near the pier is drizzling. A {{tc|Parasol Lady}}, a lady with a male {{p|Meowstic}}, and a {{p|Quagsire}} holding a leaf to shield itself from the rain are in the town as well. Three {{p|Wooper}} and a {{p|Ducklett}} are on the pier. A {{p|Lotad}} and a {{p|Lombre}} are in the water, while a {{p|Magikarp}} leaps out of the water. Several {{p|Pidgey}} soar into the sky. The "Gotta catch 'em all!" slogan disappears, and "the Series XY" appears below the "Pokémon" logo.

===Trivia===
* When the {{p|Lucario}} is [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]], Lucario cannot be clearly seen, although it can be partly seen in a single frame of the shot. The Mega Evolution logo can be clearly seen, though.
* Although the switch to widescreen occurred [[DP121|over 200 episodes ago]], this is the first dub opening that features the intro credits outside of a 4:3 ratio. This was done because before this point, many networks still cropped the 16:9 episodes to a 4:3 ratio.
* The instrumental version that is used in the end credits uses a different instrumentation from the main lyrical version.
** The vocals were removed in the initial television airings of the movie.
* An instrumental version of this song was used in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.
* Despite the amount of companies [[:Category:Pokémon around the world|around the globe]] changing their dubbing staff or dubbing company altogether, which leads into inconsistencies and errors within the different translations of the [[Pokémon animated series]], all of the dub lyrics of this song are consistent with their respective [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub OP 1|season 1 counterpart]] from each language.
** The only exception to this is the [[Pokémon in Russia|Russian version]], as its current dub (which picked up from [[S14|season 14]]) is completely unaffiliated with the original one (which ceased midway through [[S02|season 2]]).
** While the TV version only includes the first verse of the original song and skips the second, the lyrics in the [[Pokémon in Denmark|Danish version]] were altered to commingle the first two verses of the original song into one instead. The lyrics from the original song were not restored for the movie version; instead, the first verse was kept as-is from the TV version, and the second verse was re-translated.
** The {{pmin|Italy|Italian}} dub featured [[Pokémon (song)|a different, original song]] as the first season opening, though a translation of the Pokémon Theme was made for [[M01|the first movie]]. Despite this, a new translation was made years later for re-runs, the lyrics of which were also used for the XY version.
** In the {{pmin|Greece|Greek}} dub, early intro themes were kept in English. For the XY intro, the lyrics were taken from the ''[[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]]'' soundtrack released in Greece, despite said CD being completely unaffiliated with the actual Greek dub of the animated series.
** This is the first time the song has been translated into {{pmin|Netherlands|Dutch}}.
* On the U.S. DVD release many changes are made from the original U.S airing these changes include
** Some frames are removed
** Some frames are merged
** Some shots are slowed down
** The Pokémon logo appears a frame late
** The "Gotta catch 'em all!" logo transition is different

====Errors====
* During the scene of a rainy town, a male {{p|Meowstic}} is miscolored as a female Meowstic.

===Trivia===
* This version was used in a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVKhReohR1U promotional video] for [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] uploaded on November 16, 2018, which refers to it as a "familiar song". The order of some clips shown in the video recalls the original animation of the 1998 opening.
* A portion of this version of the theme song can be heard in the background in the beginning of the music video of {{wp|J Balvin}}'s song "[[Ten Cuidado]]".

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached the '''{{wp|United States}}''' in 1998 with the release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] and the premiere of the {{pkmn|anime}}. They contributed to what would be called "[[Pokemania]]", a phenomenon that lasted until the early 2000s. Most English translations of Pokémon media, as well as original English-language media such as ''{{DetPikMov}}'', are based in the United States and then further distributed in other English-speaking countries of the world.

==Pokémon games==
Most [[Pokémon games]] released in Japan are translated into English for the United States, although there are exceptions, such as [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|the WiiWare Mystery Dungeon games]]. All English-language games are exported to {{pmin|Canada}}, {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, {{pmin|Australia}}, and other countries (including those that do not have their own translation of the games, such as {{pmin|Latin America}} and {{pmin|Brazil}}). Event Pokémon are regularly released in the United States as well. Nintendo of America, [[Nintendo]]'s subsidiary in the United States, sometimes publishes Pokémon and Pokémon-related video games, but they handle the local distribution of all Pokémon video games available on Nintendo consoles. Nintendo of America is a major partner to [[The Pokémon Company International]]. With very few exceptions such as {{p|Pikachu}}, almost all Pokémon, character and location names are fully localized in the English language, and are referred to as such in English-language media including Bulbapedia itself.

All Pokémon games released on the Switch since [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] have bilingual (English/Spanish) packaging for their standard versions.

==Pokémon anime and movies==
All English-language dubs of the [[Pokémon anime]] were produced in the United States, first by [[4Kids Entertainment]] and later by [[The Pokémon Company International]]. Other animated productions, such as [[Pokémon Origins]] and [[Pokémon Generations]], are also dubbed in English in the United States either via TPCI or other studios. The live-action film ''{{DetPikMov}}'' is a primarily American production.

While the [[Pokémon movie]]s were regularly released theatrically in Japan, only movies [[M01|one]] through [[M05|five]], the [[M13|13th movie]], the Zekrom variant of the [[M14|14th movie]], the [[M20|20th movie]], and the [[M21|21st movie]] (along with {{DetPikMov}}) have seen theatrical releases in the US; all other movies have premiered on television and released straight to video, DVD, or streaming.

The anime first got wide exposure in the United States through "[[Pokémon Shock]]" coverage,<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1997/12/18/world/tv-cartoon-s-flashes-send-700-japanese-into-seizures.html ''TV Cartoon's Flashes Send 700 Japanese Into Seizures'' - The New York Times (December 18, 1997)]</ref> though it did not deter the brand's fame. 4Kids licensed the anime after a February 1997 trip to [[Shogakukan|ShoPro]]'s offices,<ref name="wsj99">[https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB934753154504300864 ''Creating the Craze for Pokemon: Licensing Agent Bet on U.S. Kids'' - The Wall Street Journal (August 16, 1999)]</ref> and The Summit Media Group revealed it had picked up the show for syndication at NATPE 1998.<ref>[https://www.awn.com/animationworld/natpe-1998-its-tough-market-someone-selling ''NATPE 1998: It's A Tough Market But Someone is Selling...'' - Animation World Network (February 1, 1998)]</ref> The anime debuted in {{wp|Broadcast syndication|syndication}} in the United States on September 7, 1998<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20000425180626/http://toonzone.net/brian/eplists/pokemon.html ''Pokémon'' - Toon Zone] (archived from the original April 25, 2000; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref> with the sneak preview debut of ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', with an initial order of 52 episodes.<ref>[https://www.awn.com/news/pok-mon-hits-world ''Pokémon Hits The World'' - Animation World Network (October 3, 1998)]</ref>

===Kids' WB===
[[File:Kids WB logo.png|thumb|125px|Kids' WB logo used from 1997-2008]]
[[Warner Bros.#Kids' WB|Kids' WB]] (sometimes styled as Kids WB!) was an American children's television programming block and brand owned by {{wp|Warner Bros.}} that first aired on September 9, 1995, on {{wp|The WB|The WB Television Network}}.<ref>[https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-10-22-tv-59667-story.html ''WB Raises the Animation Ante'' - Los Angeles Times] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref> On January 24, 2006 it was announced The WB and {{wp|CBS Corporation}}'s {{wp|UPN}} would merge to create {{wp|The CW}}.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/24/business/media/upn-and-wb-to-combine-forming-new-tv-network.html ''UPN and WB to Combine, Forming New TV Network'' - New York Times] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref> When The WB closed on September 17 that year, the block moved to the new channel and it ran there from September 23, 2006 to May 17, 2008, at which time {{wp|Toonzai|The CW4Kids}} was launched to replace it. Kids' WB lived on as the name of a streaming service, until a rebranding on May 17, 2015.

From July 2001 until June 2002, Kids' WB's weekday afternoon editions, which included Pokémon, were branded ''Toonami on Kids' WB''.

On January 22, 2005, Kids' WB was the first to air the English version of the seventh movie, [[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]. It was also first to air the [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary]] special, ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', on April 29, 2006, before it aired in Japan. This special was the first to be dubbed by [[The Pokémon Company International]] (then known as Pokémon USA), rather than [[4Kids Entertainment]], and the only such episode that would air on Kids' WB.

In 2006 it was announced that Kids WB would no longer be airing non-Warner Bros. shows. New Pokémon episodes debuted on [[Cartoon Network]] starting on September 8, 2006<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20061004132738/http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=12209 ''Press Release: New Season of "Pokémon" to Air Exclusively on Cartoon Network'' - Toon Zone] (archived from the original October 4, 2006; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref><ref name="KWBmove">[https://web.archive.org/web/20071017000426/http://toonzone.net/schedule/episode.php?ID=7209 ''Pokémon - Fear Factor Phony'' - Toon Zone] (archived from the original October 17, 2007; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>, with Kids' WB's reruns of the show ending that month.

Cartoon Network is an American children's television network that was launched on October 1, 1992<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140204051028/https://articles.philly.com/1992-10-04/entertainment/25997256_1_betty-cohen-new-channels-cartoon-network ''That's All Cartoons, Folks - 24 Hours Daily'' - The Philadelphia Inquirer] (archived from the original February 4, 2014; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref> after {{wp|Turner Broadcasting System}} purchased the animation studio {{wp|Hanna-Barbera}}. The acquisition of Turner by Time Warner brought the network under the same umbrella as Kids' WB. Since its establishment, {{wp|List of international Cartoon Network channels|international variants}} of the channel have launched around the world. Since March 4, 2019, Cartoon Network has been part of ''Warner Bros. Global Kids, Young Adults and Classics'', a division of [[Warner Bros.]]<ref>[https://variety.com/2019/biz/news/warner-bros-cartoon-network-hanna-barbera-1203154521/ ''Warner Bros. Wants to Rev Up Kid’s Content With Looney Tunes, Hanna-Barbera'' - Variety] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>

Cartoon Network first aired [[Pokémon Chronicles]] in the United States from June 3<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20060619012012/http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=10553 ''Cartoon Network Acquires "Pokemon" Series for June 3 Premiere'' - Toon Zone] (archived from the original June 19, 2006; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref> to November 25, 2006, during its {{wp|Toonami}} block. Following the anime being dropped by Kids' WB, [[S09|Season nine]] premiered on Cartoon Network on September 8, 2006<ref name="KWBmove"/>. Cartoon Network had previously aired reruns of episodes from the anime's earlier seasons, such as [[S05|season five]], and almost every episode through [[S19|season 19]] aired on the channel at some point. On their website, Cartoon Network featured several [[Cartoon Network online games|online games]] featuring Pokémon characters.

Cartoon Network sparked controversy through its practice of replacing end credit sequences with their own generic ones. For the airing of movies this meant that epilogues were often skipped, and for the first airing of the [[M13|13th movie]] several scenes were omitted<ref>{{n|TPCi not happy about Cartoon Network movie cut|''TPCi not happy about Cartoon Network movie cut'' - Bulbanews}} (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>.

The show stayed with the network until the end of [[S19|season 19]], with the last reruns airing in January 2017. New episodes would start airing on [[Disney XD]].

====Boomerang====
:''Boomerang redirects here. For the move known as Bone Boomerang in Japanese, see [[Bonemerang (move)]].''
{{wp|Boomerang (TV network)|Boomerang}} is a cable network owned by Warner Bros., operating as a sister station to Cartoon Network. Boomerang was launched as a block on Cartoon Network on December 8, 1992, shortly after the launch of the channel, and it was later spun off as its own network on April 1, 2000<ref>[https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-apr-01-ca-14752-story.html ''Hanna-Barbera Cartoons Return on New Boomerang'' - Los Angeles Times] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>.

Boomerang first started airing episodes of [[S01|season one]] the Pokémon anime in 2006, and again in March of 2010. As of October 2012, the channel had aired episodes from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' and prior to 2017, episodes were aired at 6 and 6:30 PM {{wp|Eastern Time Zone|ET}}/{{wp|Pacific Time Zone|PT}} (5 and 5:30 PM {{wp|Central Time Zone (North America)|CT}}) on weekdays. During the anime's time on the network, Boomerang aired the [[banned episodes|banned]] episode ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]''.

Pokémon anime reruns left the channel when the series left Cartoon Network for Disney XD, in February 2017.

====Toonami Jetstream====
[[File:Toonami Jetstream Logo.png|thumb|200px|Toonami Jetstream logo]]
Toonami Jetstream was an ad-supported streaming {{wp|video on demand}} service run as a partnership between Cartoon Network and [[VIZ Media]] between July 17, 2006 and January 30, 2009<ref>[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-01-31/toonami-jetstream-video-streaming-service-shuts-down ''Toonami Jetstream Video-Streaming Service Shuts Down'' - Anime News Network] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref><ref>{{n|Toonami Jetstream closes its doors|''Toonami Jetstream closes its doors'' - Bulbanews}} (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>.

The [[S03|third season]] of the Pokémon anime debuted on the service on October 9, 2006 under the ''Johto Journeys'' banner, beginning with ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]'' (as the service followed TV broadcast order), and finishing with ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'' on October 1, 2007. [[Pokémon Chronicles]] also debuted on Jetstream on October 9, 2006, beginning with part one of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' and finishing with ''[[Pikachu's Winter Vacation]]'' (the ''[[PK02|Christmas Night]]/[[PK03|Kanga Games]]'' combined episode) on March 5, 2007.

[[S04|Season four]] debuted on May 28, 2007 under the ''Johto League Champions'' banner, beginning with ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' and finishing with ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'' on May 27, 2008. [[S05|Season five]] made its way to the service on June 16, 2008 under the ''Master Quest'' banner, starting with ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'' and ending with ''[[240|Some Like It Hot]]'' on January 13, 2009.

[[S09|Season nine]] debuted on the service on November 17, 2008 under the ''Battle Frontier'' banner, starting with ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' and ending with ''[[AG154|Reversing the Charges]]'' on January 13, 2009.

Toonami Jetstream released episodes new to the service every Monday, unless a particular Monday was a United States holiday, which in most cases meant the debut was on a different day (such as the following Tuesday or the preceding Friday). Like other shows, new Pokémon episodes in then-current seasons debuted every week and remained available for six weeks after they debuted on the service. The service also offered short previews of the movies ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' prior to their television debuts.

To celebrate the 2007 release of [[Pokémon Snap]] on the [[Virtual Console]], [[Pokémon.com]] announced that episodes featuring [[Todd Snap]] would be offered for one week later in December<ref>{{n|Pokémon Snap to launch Dec. 10 in Wii Shop Channel|''Pokémon Snap to launch Dec. 10 in Wii Shop Channel'' - Bulbanews}} (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>. The plan was later modified in favour of traditional weekly progression; his three Johto appearances appeared as part of the normal ''Johto League Champions'' progression, with his Kanto appearances appearing on January 14, 22 and 28, 2008. The Todd version of [[Todd Snap]]'s Kanto episodes were the ones used on Toonami Jetstream. This appeared to align with the {{wp|Retroactive continuity|retcon}} of making Snap the character's surname when Pokémon Snap was announced for the Virtual Console.

On January 20, 2009, Toonami Jetstream switched all available offerings with "top 10" lists from most of their at-the-time current shows, which for the Pokémon anime only included episodes from season five. On January 30, 2009, the service shut down completely, and on May 15, 2009, the anime launched on Cartoon Network Video.

====Cartoon Network Video====
[[File:Cartoon Network Video Logo.png|thumb|200px|Former Cartoon Network Video logo]]
Cartoon Network Video is a streaming {{wp|video on demand}} service owned and operated by Cartoon Network that is available via their website or apps. The service launched on September 22, 2006 and was originally a sister service to Toonami Jetstream. It became Cartoon Network's only VOD service upon Jetsteam's shutdown on January 30, 2009.

On May 15, 2009, [[S12|season 12]] of the anime launched on Cartoon Network Video beginning with ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'' and ending with ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'' on May 17, 2010. On December 14, 2009, 97 episodes from the first two seasons (including the entirety of [[S02|season two]]) were made available on the service.

On February 1, 2010, one episode from [[S03|season three]] (''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]'') was added to the service. However, this addition may have been in error, as the episode was removed a few days later. Two months later, the entire third season was re-added but the episodes were not working for many users and they were once again taken down the following month.

Initially, Cartoon Network Video released episodes new to the service every Monday, unless a particular Monday was a United States holiday, in which case the debut was often on a different day (such as the following Tuesday). Episodes were made available the Monday following their original dub airdates and remained on the service for two weeks. However, in subsequent years episodes were uploaded later than previously and remained available for only one week.

After a October 2009 revamp, the service began using a {{wp|16:9 aspect ratio|16:9 widescreen}} video player. Content originally produced in 16:9, including all anime episodes starting with ''[[DP126|Classroom Training]]'', were shown properly on this video player regardless of the aspect ratio the episode was aired in on the Cartoon Network channel, but content originally produced in {{wp|4:3 aspect ratio|4:3 fullscreen}}, such as Pokémon episodes from earlier seasons, were stretched to fill the frame.

As with Toonami Jetstream, the Todd versions of the episodes [[Todd Snap]] appears in were the ones used on Cartoon Network Video. Additionally, episodes that involved the [[Orange Archipelago]] in any way used the theme music from the televised airings, meaning {{so|Pokémon World}} was first used on ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', with [[Pokémon Theme]] used for the three episodes prior.

==Pokémon manga==
[[VIZ Media]], based out of {{wp|San Francisco}}, {{wp|California}}, has licensed and translated several [[Pokémon manga]] titles in the United States, including [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], movie manga adaptations, and the popular [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
An English-language translation of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] has been sold in the United States since the release of [[Base Set (TCG)|Base Set]] in 1999, and continues to this day. Most English sets do not correspond exactly to the Japanese sets they are translated from; they often incorporate additional cards from Japanese promotions and theme decks. English-language cards are the most widely distributed worldwide; as with the games, they are exported to other English-speaking countries, but are also often sold alongside localized translations and in countries where no local translation exists. Currently, only English-language cards are tournament legal in the United States.

==Pokémon merchandise==
Pokémon merchandising has been handled by various distributors in the United States. When the franchise debuted, merchandising was handled by [[Hasbro]]. Originally, toys and merchandise were simply imported from Japan, but later Hasbro created their own toys and games for distribution in the US. In 2004, rights passed to [[Jakks Pacific]], which produced their own merchandise as well. In January 2013, merchandise rights were given to [[Takara Tomy]] and largely imported from Japan. Unlike other Pokémon merchandise in the US, Tomy's merchandise has multilingual packaging shared with Europe that features seven Western languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch), including localized Pokémon and character names where applicable. As of 2018, Wicked Cool Toys now handles the merchandise.

The United States is home to the only North American {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} stores, with one store operating in {{wp|New York City}}, {{wp|New York}} (now {{DL|Pokémon Center (store)|New York (Nintendo New York)|Nintendo New York}}) and two mall kiosks in {{wp|Washington (state)|Washington state}}. The Pokémon Center online store also currently only ships to the United States.


==Events==
{{bulbanews/4|Pokémon Rocks America 2005 dates and locations revealed|Americans to get chance to obtain Celebi|Pokémon anniversary party to be held in New York|U.S. Black and White promotional tour announced}}
Several promotional events have been held in the United States for Pokémon video games and other media. Many of these events included playable game demos, distribution of [[event Pokémon]], and other incentives such as promotional cards from the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}.

Promotional tours include the [[Pokémon 2000 Stadium Tour]], the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Adventure Tour]], [[Pokémon Rocks America]], [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary Journey Across America]], and the [[Pokémon Black and White Sampling Tour]].

The [[World Championships]] have been held by [[Play! Pokémon]] (formerly Pokémon Organized Play) annually in the United States since 2004. So far, only one World Championship has been held outside of the United States, which was the [[2013 World Championships]] in Vancouver, British Columbia, {{pmin|Canada}}.

The [[Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions]] series of concerts has been touring the United States since 2014. The United States was the first country the concerts appeared in.

'''Pokémon Theme''' is the opening theme song for the English [[dub]] of the first [[season]], [[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]]. It was used from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' (to ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]'' in the [[VIZ Media]] DVD release). Being featured in 82 episodes, it is the most-used dub opening theme. The opening animation is composed of clips from the first Japanese opening, [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]], and episode clips from the Pokémon: Indigo League season. It was written and produced by [[John Loeffler]]. The lead vocal was sung by [[Jason Paige]].

The song was played at the end of the VHS [[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]. A full version of the song is available on the [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]] and {{OBP|Pokémon X|CD}} audio CDs, and includes a second verse not usually heard in the show. This version is also featured in the episodes of the anime ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'', ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', and ''Friends To The End''.

The song was covered by {{wp|Billy Crawford}}, and this version played during the opening credits of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', and is the first track on the [[Pokémon the First Movie (soundtrack)|movie's soundtrack]].

Pokémon Theme was later sampled in the first verse of [[Born to Be a Winner]], the opening for the English dub's fourth season, [[S04|Johto League Champions]].

A [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub OP 17|second remix]] titled '''Pokémon Theme (Version XY)''' is the opening theme song for the season [[S17|Pokémon the Series: XY]]. It was used from ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' to ''[[XY049|Bonnie for the Defense!]]''. The opening animation is composed of clips from the first ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' Japanese opening, [[V (Volt)]]. A full-length version is used as the opening song of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.

An orchestral version of the song was performed in [[Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions]].

A [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub Movie 20 OP|third remix]] titled '''Pokémon Theme (Gotta Catch 'Em All)''' was the opening theme of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''. It was performed by Ben Dixon, produced by [[Ed Goldfarb]] and Stan Cotey, and mixed by Jeff Stuart Saltzman. A solo piano version of the theme performed by Goldfarb is used as part of the ending after {{so|I Choose You}}. It is also used as an insert song in ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]''.

A [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub Movie 22 OP|fourth remix]] titled '''Pokémon Theme (Mewtwo Mix)''' was the opening theme of ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''. It was performed by Ben Dixon and The Sad Truth with additional vocals by [[Haven Paschall]], Charity Goodin, and Hilary Thomas, with the power inside by [[Dani Marcus]], guitar by James Harman, synths and FX by Steve Mayer, arranged and produced by Ed Goldfarb, and mixed by Jeff Stuart Saltzman. An instrumental version of the original theme is used during the post-credits scene after [[Keep Evolving]].

The song is also partly sung in ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'' by {{OBP|Detective Pikachu|character}} while in a state of misery.

===Synopsis===
[[File:OPJ01 Mew.png|thumb|250px|Mew]]
The clip begins with {{p|Mewtwo}} and a shining {{p|Mew}} floating in space, as the camera focuses on Earth, while the sun starts to rise. The next scene shows {{Ash}} alone in a stadium. After that, a {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{DL|Giselle|Cubone}} and {{AP|Pidgeotto}} are shown quickly, before changing to a {{AP|Bulbasaur}} being caught, to which Ash snaps excitedly. Shortly afterwards, the camera shows a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} using {{m|Lick}} on {{AP|Charmander}}, paralyzing him.

Ash then flips his hat backwards and throws a {{i|Poké Ball}} to the camera. In the following scene, Ash can be seen running along with his {{AP|Pikachu}}, an {{p|Arcanine}} and a {{p|Rapidash}}, who then jumps to the skies, disappearing between the [[Legendary birds]], who are flying around. Then, a short clip of a {{DL|A.J.|Sandshrew}} unrolling itself, a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} and Charmander is shown, followed by Ash and Pikachu sitting on a {{p|Lapras}}, as they watch a {{p|Gyarados}} jumping out of the water, and a {{p|Dragonair}} jumping in. After that, a Poké Ball is seen trapping [[Ash's Caterpie|a Pokémon]] who has turned into red energy.

A battle between Pikachu and {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} is seen, with the former dodging a {{m|Body Slam}} of the latter; and then, a {{AP|Caterpie}} bracing for an {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}' and a {{TP|James|Koffing}}'s incoming attack. In the next scene, Ash is seen hugging his Pikachu, followed by a giant {{p|Tentacruel}} attacking a building. Ash then is seen holding a Poké Ball; followed by an {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Later, Ash appears to be looking at the screen, when {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} appear on either side of him, followed by [[Jessie]] and [[James]] rising up in front of them. Koffing, {{MTR}} and Ekans jump up next, followed by {{Gary}} holding a Poké Ball.

The camera then runs across {{p|Charizard}} while using {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{p|Blastoise}} while using {{m|Hydro Pump}} and {{p|Venusaur}}; before Pikachu runs between Ash and a {{tc|Lass}} and jumps. The next scene introduces {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Delia Ketchum]], [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]], as they nod, the camera then shows a giant Charizard using Flamethrower, and Ash and {{ashfr}} hide behind a boulder, later, a Squirtle is seen running towards Ash, followed by a hug.

The camera does a close-up on Pikachu, and subsequently zooms out, showing Pikachu standing on a Pidgeotto, a {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} holding a Squirtle, and a {{AP|Butterfree}} holding Bulbasaur. The last scene then shows up, on which Ash raises his feet and throws the Poké Ball to the screen, much like a {{wp|Pitcher|Baseball pitcher}}, followed by a spinning Poké Ball and the Pokémon logo.

===Trivia===
[[File:OPJ01 error 1.png|thumb|250px|Meowth's missing fang]]
* Sheet music for this song was included in [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master: Recorder Fun!]], the {{book|Pokémon 2.B.A. Master|Pokémon 2.B.A. Master piano book}} and [[Pokémon Five-Finger Piano]].
* This is one of the songs featured in the American release of {{smw|Donkey Konga}}.
* This song was included on the [[Exclusive Target Mix!]] and [[Exclusive Toys R Us Mix!]] CDs.
* This song uses {{wp|common meter}}.
* Moltres is the only one of the [[Legendary birds]] that does not make an appearance in the opening. The footage from Aim to Be A Pokémon Master where it appeared was cut out.
* The first "Pokémon" sung after the guitar solo in the full version has different backing vocals added to it. This can be heard more clearly in the full instrumental version.
* The song was played on BBC Radio One's 2011 Christmas special.
* The singer of the Danish version, Michael Elo, was also the original Danish voice of Professor Oak.
* Xander Mobus, the voice of the [[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros.]] announcer since [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|the fourth entry]], sang the song upon request but got worn out after the first verse.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQPO-5WjpFU</ref>
* The song was number 1666 during the 2015 Top2000 on Radio 2 in the Netherlands.<ref>http://www.nporadio2.nl/song/48456/gotta-catch-m-all-pokemon-theme-song</ref>
** After its entry into the Top2000, it has stayed in the ranking for the last few years. Placing at number 232 in 2016 (1434 places higher than the previous year), number 284 in 2017, number 115 in 2018, number 127 in 2019 and number 187 in 2020. <ref>http://www.nporadio2.nl/song/48456/gotta-catch-m-all-pokemon-theme-song</ref>
* A 1998 episode of the Mexican TV show Nintendomania featured a segment on various elements of the Pokémon franchise. A fragment of what seems to be an early version of the song is played, featuring someone other than Jason Paige.<ref>https://twitter.com/helixchamber/status/1135226299298004992</ref>
* In 2017, Jason Paige performed and recorded a Japanese version of the Pokémon Theme, which he uploaded to his official YouTube channel [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIetiD0G6vQ here].
* Although the theme was recorded in 1998, the extended theme was recorded in 1999 for the album [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]].
* [[Rica Matsumoto]] performed a cover of this song on Hideaki Takatori's Youtube channel.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnPs8BwkyMY</ref>

====Errors====
* When {{MTR}}, {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}, and {{TP|James|Koffing}} all jump onscreen, Meowth's right fang disappears for a split-second.
* Several official sources (including lyric booklets from music CDs and closed captions in the anime) mis-transcribe the lyrics as "Each Pokémon to understand the power that's inside." [[John Loeffler]] has stated that the intended lyric is "teach", not "each".<ref name="teach"/>
* The Polish title is mistranslated as ''Główny temat Pokémon'', whereas "theme" would rather mean "kompozycja" or "motyw" in this context instead of "temat".

===Synopsis===
A thick mist clears and {{Ash}}, {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} are shown standing on a hill. Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} are shown while the scene splits diagonally, with the other half showing Ash and Pikachu eating sandwiches. The next scene shows Serena while the scene splits diagonally, with the other half showing Serena and her Fennekin while she chooses between two hats. She throws the red hat away and wears the pink hat. Clemont and Bonnie are then shown and the scene splits diagonally, with the other half showing Clemont fixing one of his inventions while Bonnie chases after Chespin and Dedenne. Bonnie jumps onto Chespin and Dedenne and [[Clemontic Gear|Clemont's invention]] explodes.

The [[Team Rocket trio]] is on their balloon, holding binoculars. {{MTR}} accidentally falls and [[Jessie]] and [[James]] try to grab him. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} comes out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} and the trio falls out of their balloon. Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Quick Attack}}. Chespin uses {{m|Pin Missile}}, while Clemont instructs Bunnelby to use {{m|Dig}}. Bonnie jumps for joy while Dedenne uses {{m|Thunder Shock}}. Serena is shown while Fennekin uses {{m|Ember}}. Ash is then shown while Froakie shoots {{m|Water Pulse}}, and Fletchling uses {{m|Steel Wing}}. Pikachu finally uses {{m|Electro Ball}}. Lucario is (briefly) seen [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. Ash and his friends are running outside a restaurant.

The "Pokémon [[Gotta catch 'em all!]]" logo is shown while the following scenes are in the background (the logo is not present in certain international versions). Two Vivillon and three Swanna are flying in the sky near a grape tree. A school of Luvdisc, a school of Remoraid, a Gorebyss, Octillery and Mantyke are swimming in the ocean. Two Furret are in a garden of flowers while four Swanna fly in the sky. A town near the pier is drizzling. A Parasol Lady, a lady with a female Meowstic, and a Quagsire holding a leaf to shield itself from the rain are in the town as well. Three Wooper and a Ducklett are on the pier. A Lotad and a Lombre are in the water, while a Magikarp leaps out of the water. Several Pidgey soar into the sky. The "Gotta catch 'em all!" slogan disappears, and "the Series XY" appears below the "Pokémon" logo.

===Trivia===
* When the {{p|Lucario}} is [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]], Lucario cannot be clearly seen, although it can be partly seen in a single frame of the shot. The Mega Evolution logo can be clearly seen, though.
* Although the switch to widescreen occurred [[DP121|over 200 episodes ago]], this is the first dub opening that features the intro credits outside of a 4:3 ratio. This was done because before this point, many networks still cropped the 16:9 episodes to a 4:3 ratio.
* The instrumental version that is used in the end credits uses a different instrumentation from the main lyrical version.
** The vocals were removed in the initial television airings of the movie.
* An instrumental version of this song was used in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.
* Despite the amount of companies [[:Category:Pokémon around the world|around the globe]] changing their dubbing staff or dubbing company altogether, which leads into inconsistencies and errors within the different translations of the [[Pokémon anime]], all of the dub lyrics of this song are consistent with their respective [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub OP 1|season 1 counterpart]] from each language.
** The only exception to this is the [[Pokémon in Russia|Russian version]], as its current dub (which picked up from [[S14|season 14]]) is completely unaffiliated with the original one (which ceased midway through [[S02|season 2]]).
** While the TV version only includes the first verse of the original song and skips the second, the lyrics in the [[Pokémon in Denmark|Danish version]] were altered to commingle the first two verses of the original song into one instead. The lyrics from the original song were not restored for the movie version; instead, the first verse was kept as-is from the TV version, and the second verse was re-translated.
** The {{pmin|Italy|Italian}} dub featured [[Pokémon (song)|a different, original song]] as the first season opening, though a translation of the Pokémon Theme was made for [[M01|the first movie]]. Despite this, a new translation was made years later for re-runs, the lyrics of which were also used for the XY version.
** In the {{pmin|Greece|Greek}} dub, early intro themes were kept in English. For the XY intro, the lyrics were taken from the ''[[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]]'' soundtrack released in Greece, despite said CD being completely unaffiliated with the actual Greek dub of the anime.
** This is the first time the song has been translated into {{pmin|Netherlands|Dutch}}.

====Errors====
* During the scene of a rainy town, a male {{p|Meowstic}} is miscolored as a female Meowstic.

<ab>''I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause

I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Each Pokémon to understand
The power that's inside

Pokémon (Gotta catch 'em all), it's you and me
I know it's my destiny
(Pokémon!)
Oh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokémon (Gotta catch 'em all), a heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me, and I'll teach you
Po-ké-mon!
(Gotta catch 'em all!)
Gotta catch 'em all!

Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will battle every day
To claim my rightful place

Come with me, the time is right
There's no better team,
Arm in arm, we'll win the fight
It's always been our dream

Pokémon (Gotta catch 'em all), it's you and me
I know it's my destiny
(Pokémon!)
Oh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokémon (Gotta catch 'em all), a heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me, and I'll teach you

Gotta catch 'em all!

Gotta catch 'em all!''</ab>

===Trivia===
* This version was used in a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVKhReohR1U promotional video] for [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] uploaded on November 16, 2018, which refers to it as a "familiar song". The order of some clips shown in the video recalls the original animation of the 1998 opening.
* A portion of this version of the theme song can be heard in the background in the beginning the music video of {{wp|J Balvin}}'s song "[[Ten Cuidado]]".

'''Pokémon Theme''' is the opening theme song for the English [[dub]] of the first [[season]], [[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]]. It was used from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' (to ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]'' in the [[VIZ Media]] DVD release). Being featured in 82 episodes, it is the most-used dub opening theme. The opening animation is composed of clips from the first Japanese opening, [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]], and episode clips from the Pokémon: Indigo League season. It was written and produced by [[John Loeffler]]. The lead vocal was sung by [[Jason Paige]].

The song was played at the end of the VHS [[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]. A full version of the song is available on the [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]] and {{OBP|Pokémon X|CD}} audio CDs, and includes a second verse not usually heard in the show. This version is also featured in the episodes of the anime ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'', ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', and ''Friends To The End''.

The song was covered by {{wp|Billy Crawford}}, and this version played during the opening credits of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', and is the first track on the [[Pokémon the First Movie (soundtrack)|movie's soundtrack]].

Pokémon Theme was later sampled in the first verse of [[Born to Be a Winner]], the opening for the English dub's fourth season, [[S04|Johto League Champions]].

A [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub OP 17|second remix]] titled '''Pokémon Theme (Version XY)''' is the opening theme song for the season [[S17|Pokémon the Series: XY]]. It was used from ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' to ''[[XY049|Bonnie for the Defense!]]''. The opening animation is composed of clips from the first ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' Japanese opening, [[V (Volt)]]. A full-length version is used as the opening song of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.

An orchestral version of the song was performed in [[Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions]].

A [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub Movie 20 OP|third remix]] titled '''Pokémon Theme (Gotta Catch 'Em All)''' was the opening theme of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''. It was performed by Ben Dixon, produced by [[Ed Goldfarb]] and Stan Cotey, and mixed by Jeff Stuart Saltzman. A solo piano version of the theme performed by Goldfarb is used as part of the ending after {{so|I Choose You}}. It is also used as an insert song in ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]''.

A [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub Movie 22 OP|fourth remix]] titled '''Pokémon Theme (Mewtwo Mix)''' was the opening theme of ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''. It was performed by Ben Dixon and The Sad Truth with additional vocals by [[Haven Paschall]], Charity Goodin, and Hilary Thomas, with the power inside by [[Dani Marcus]], guitar by James Harman, synths and FX by Steve Mayer, arranged and produced by Ed Goldfarb, and mixed by Jeff Stuart Saltzman. An instrumental version of the original theme is used during the post-credits scene after [[Keep Evolving]].

The song is also partly sung in ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'' by {{OBP|Detective Pikachu|character}} while in a state of misery.
==Opening animation: Dub OP 1==
===Synopsis===
[[File:OPJ01 Mew.png|thumb|250px|Mew]]
The clip begins with {{p|Mewtwo}} and a shining {{p|Mew}} floating in space, as the camera focuses on Earth, while the sun starts to rise. The next scene shows {{Ash}} alone in a stadium. After that, a {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{DL|Giselle|Cubone}} and {{AP|Pidgeotto}} are shown quickly, before changing to a {{AP|Bulbasaur}} being caught, to which Ash snaps excitedly. Shortly afterwards, the camera shows a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} using {{m|Lick}} on {{AP|Charmander}}, paralyzing him.

Ash then flips his hat backwards and throws a {{i|Poké Ball}} to the camera. In the following scene, Ash can be seen running along with his {{AP|Pikachu}}, an {{p|Arcanine}} and a {{p|Rapidash}}, who then jumps to the skies, disappearing between the [[Legendary birds]], who are flying around. Then, a short clip of a {{DL|A.J.|Sandshrew}} unrolling itself, a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} and Charmander is shown, followed by Ash and Pikachu sitting on a {{p|Lapras}}, as they watch a {{p|Gyarados}} jumping out of the water, and a {{p|Dragonair}} jumping in. After that, a Poké Ball is seen trapping [[Ash's Caterpie|a Pokémon]] who has turned into red energy.

A battle between Pikachu and {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} is seen, with the former dodging a {{m|Body Slam}} of the latter; and then, a {{AP|Caterpie}} bracing for an {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}' and a {{TP|James|Koffing}}'s incoming attack. In the next scene, Ash is seen hugging his Pikachu, followed by a giant {{p|Tentacruel}} attacking a building. Ash then is seen holding a Poké Ball; followed by an {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Later, Ash appears to be looking at the screen, when {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} appear on either side of him, followed by [[Jessie]] and [[James]] rising up in front of them. Koffing, {{MTR}} and Ekans jump up next, followed by {{Gary}} holding a Poké Ball.

The camera then runs across {{p|Charizard}} while using {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{p|Blastoise}} while using {{m|Hydro Pump}} and {{p|Venusaur}}; before Pikachu runs between Ash and a {{tc|Lass}} and jumps. The next scene introduces {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Delia Ketchum]], [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]], as they nod, the camera then shows a giant Charizard using Flamethrower, and Ash and {{ashfr}} hide behind a boulder, later, a Squirtle is seen running towards Ash, followed by a hug.

The camera does a close-up on Pikachu, and subsequently zooms out, showing Pikachu standing on a Pidgeotto, a {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} holding a Squirtle, and a {{AP|Butterfree}} holding Bulbasaur. The last scene then shows up, on which Ash raises his feet and throws the Poké Ball to the screen, much like a {{wp|Pitcher|Baseball pitcher}}, followed by a spinning Poké Ball and the Pokémon logo.

Placing at number 232 in 2016 (1434 places higher than the previous year), number 284 in 2017, number 115 in 2018, number 127 in 2019 and number 187 in 2020. <ref>http://www.nporadio2.nl/song/48456/gotta-catch-m-all-pokemon-theme-song</ref>
* A 1998 episode of the Mexican TV show Nintendomania featured a segment on various elements of the Pokémon franchise. A fragment of what seems to be an early version of the song is played, featuring someone other than Jason Paige.<ref>https://twitter.com/helixchamber/status/1135226299298004992</ref>
* In 2017, Jason Paige performed and recorded a Japanese version of the Pokémon Theme, which he uploaded to his official YouTube channel [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIetiD0G6vQ here].
* Although the theme was recorded in 1998, the extended theme was recorded in 1999 for the album [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]].
* [[Rica Matsumoto]] performed a cover of this song on Hideaki Takatori's Youtube channel.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnPs8BwkyMY</ref>

====Errors====
* When {{MTR}}, {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}, and {{TP|James|Koffing}} all jump onscreen, Meowth's right fang disappears for a split-second.
* Several official sources (including lyric booklets from music CDs and closed captions in the anime) mis-transcribe the lyrics as "Each Pokémon to understand the power that's inside." [[John Loeffler]] has stated that the intended lyric is "teach", not "each".<ref name="teach"/>
* The Polish title is mistranslated as ''Główny temat Pokémon'', whereas "theme" would rather mean "kompozycja" or "motyw" in this context instead of "temat".

===Synopsis===
A thick mist clears and {{Ash}}, {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} are shown standing on a hill. Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} are shown while the scene splits diagonally, with the other half showing Ash and Pikachu eating sandwiches. The next scene shows Serena while the scene splits diagonally, with the other half showing Serena and her Fennekin while she chooses between two hats. She throws the red hat away and wears the pink hat. Clemont and Bonnie are then shown and the scene splits diagonally, with the other half showing Clemont fixing one of his inventions while Bonnie chases after Chespin and Dedenne. Bonnie jumps onto Chespin and Dedenne and [[Clemontic Gear|Clemont's invention]] explodes.

The [[Team Rocket trio]] is on their balloon, holding binoculars. {{MTR}} accidentally falls and [[Jessie]] and [[James]] try to grab him. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} comes out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} and the trio falls out of their balloon. Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Quick Attack}}. Chespin uses {{m|Pin Missile}}, while Clemont instructs Bunnelby to use {{m|Dig}}. Bonnie jumps for joy while Dedenne uses {{m|Thunder Shock}}. Serena is shown while Fennekin uses {{m|Ember}}. Ash is then shown while Froakie shoots {{m|Water Pulse}}, and Fletchling uses {{m|Steel Wing}}. Pikachu finally uses {{m|Electro Ball}}. Lucario is (briefly) seen [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. Ash and his friends are running outside a restaurant.

The "Pokémon [[Gotta catch 'em all!]]" logo is shown while the following scenes are in the background (the logo is not present in certain international versions). Two Vivillon and three Swanna are flying in the sky near a grape tree. A school of Luvdisc, a school of Remoraid, a Gorebyss, Octillery and Mantyke are swimming in the ocean. Two Furret are in a garden of flowers while four Swanna fly in the sky. A town near the pier is drizzling. A Parasol Lady, a lady with a female Meowstic, and a Quagsire holding a leaf to shield itself from the rain are in the town as well. Three Wooper and a Ducklett are on the pier. A Lotad and a Lombre are in the water, while a Magikarp leaps out of the water. Several Pidgey soar into the sky. The "Gotta catch 'em all!" slogan disappears, and "the Series XY" appears below the "Pokémon" logo.

===Lyrics===
====TV version====
<ab>''I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause

(Pokémon!)
(Gotta catch 'em all), it's you and me
(Pokémon!)
I know it's my destiny
(Pokémon!)
Yeah, you're my best friend

Pokémon!''</ab>

====Movie version====
<ab>''I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause

I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Each Pokémon to understand
The power that's inside

(Pokémon!)
(Gotta catch 'em all), it's you and me
(Pokémon!)
I know it's my destiny
(Pokémon!)
Yeah, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend

Our courage will pull us through
You teach me, and I'll teach you
Po-ké-mon!
(Pokémon!)
(Gotta catch 'em all)
Gotta catch 'em all
Gotta catch 'em all!

Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will battle every day
To claim my rightful place

Come with me, the time is right
There's no better team
Arm in arm, we'll win the fight
It's always been our dream

(Pokémon!)

===Trivia===
* When the {{p|Lucario}} is [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]], Lucario cannot be clearly seen, although it can be partly seen in a single frame of the shot. The Mega Evolution logo can be clearly seen, though.
* Although the switch to widescreen occurred [[DP121|over 200 episodes ago]], this is the first dub opening that features the intro credits outside of a 4:3 ratio. This was done because before this point, many networks still cropped the 16:9 episodes to a 4:3 ratio.
* The instrumental version that is used in the end credits uses a different instrumentation from the main lyrical version.
** The vocals were removed in the initial television airings of the movie.
* An instrumental version of this song was used in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.
* Despite the amount of companies [[:Category:Pokémon around the world|around the globe]] changing their dubbing staff or dubbing company altogether, which leads into inconsistencies and errors within the different translations of the [[Pokémon anime]], all of the dub lyrics of this song are consistent with their respective [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub OP 1|season 1 counterpart]] from each language.
** The only exception to this is the [[Pokémon in Russia|Russian version]], as its current dub (which picked up from [[S14|season 14]]) is completely unaffiliated with the original one (which ceased midway through [[S02|season 2]]).
** While the TV version only includes the first verse of the original song and skips the second, the lyrics in the [[Pokémon in Denmark|Danish version]] were altered to commingle the first two verses of the original song into one instead. The lyrics from the original song were not restored for the movie version; instead, the first verse was kept as-is from the TV version, and the second verse was re-translated.
** The {{pmin|Italy|Italian}} dub featured [[Pokémon (song)|a different, original song]] as the first season opening, though a translation of the Pokémon Theme was made for [[M01|the first movie]]. Despite this, a new translation was made years later for re-runs, the lyrics of which were also used for the XY version.
** In the {{pmin|Greece|Greek}} dub, early intro themes were kept in English. For the XY intro, the lyrics were taken from the ''[[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]]'' soundtrack released in Greece, despite said CD being completely unaffiliated with the actual Greek dub of the anime.
** This is the first time the song has been translated into {{pmin|Netherlands|Dutch}}.

====Errors====
* During the scene of a rainy town, a male {{p|Meowstic}} is miscolored as a female Meowstic.

===Trivia===
* This version was used in a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVKhReohR1U promotional video] for [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] uploaded on November 16, 2018, which refers to it as a "familiar song". The order of some clips shown in the video recalls the original animation of the 1998 opening.
* A portion of this version of the theme song was heard in beginning the music video of {{wp|J Balvin}}'s song "[[Ten Cuidado]]".

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached the '''{{wp|United States|United States of America}}''' in 1998 with the release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] and the airing of the {{pkmn|anime}}. Most English translations of Pokémon media, as well as original English-language media such as ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'', are based in the United States and then further distributed in other English-speaking countries of the world.

==Pokémon games==
Most [[Pokémon games]] released in Japan are translated into English for the United States, although there are exceptions such as [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|the WiiWare Mystery Dungeon games]]. All English-language games are exported to {{pmin|Canada}}, {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, {{pmin|Australia}} and other countries (including those that do not have their own translation of the games, such as {{pmin|Latin America}} and {{pmin|Brazil}}). Event Pokémon are regularly released in the United States as well. Nintendo of America, [[Nintendo]]'s subsidiary in the United States, sometimes publishes Pokémon and Pokémon-related video games, but they handle the local distribution of all Pokémon video games available on Nintendo consoles. Nintendo of America is a major partner to [[The Pokémon Company International]]. With very few exceptions such as {{p|Pikachu}}, almost all Pokémon, character and location names are fully localized in the English language, and are referred to as such in English-language media including Bulbapedia itself.

All Pokémon games released on the Switch since [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] has bilingual (English/Spanish) packaging for its standard versions.

==Pokémon anime and movies==
The [[Pokémon anime]] debuted in {{wp|Broadcast syndication|syndication}} in the United States on September 7, 1998<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20000425180626/http://toonzone.net/brian/eplists/pokemon.html ''Pokémon'' - Toon Zone] (archived from the original April 25, 2000; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref> with the sneak preview debut of ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', which helped launch Pokémon into a nationwide phenomenon that lasted until the early 2000s. All English-language dubs of the Pokémon anime were produced in the United States, first by [[4Kids Entertainment]] and later by [[The Pokémon Company International]]. Other animated productions, such as [[Pokémon Origins]] and [[Pokémon Generations]], are also dubbed in English in the United States either via TPCI or other studios. The live-action film ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'' is a primarily American production.

While the [[Pokémon movie]]s are regularly released theatrically in Japan, only movies [[M01|one]] through [[M05|five]], the [[M13|13th movie]], the Zekrom variant of the [[M14|14th movie]], the [[M20|20th movie]], and the [[M21|21st movie]] (along with [[Detective Pikachu (movie)|Pokémon Detective Pikachu]]) have seen theatrical releases in the US; all other movies have premiered on television and released straight to video, DVD, or streaming.

===Kids' WB===
[[File:Kids WB logo.png|thumb|125px|Kids' WB logo used from 1997-2008]]
[[Warner Bros.#Kids' WB|Kids' WB]] (sometimes styled as Kids WB!) was an American children's television programming block and brand owned by {{wp|Warner Bros. Television}} that first aired on September 9, 1995, on {{wp|The WB|The WB Television Network}}<ref>[https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-10-22-tv-59667-story.html ''WB Raises the Animation Ante'' - Los Angeles Times] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>. On January 24, 2006 it was announced The WB and {{wp|CBS Corporation}}'s {{wp|UPN}} would merge to create {{wp|The CW}}<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/24/business/media/upn-and-wb-to-combine-forming-new-tv-network.html ''UPN and WB to Combine, Forming New TV Network'' - New York Times] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>. When The WB closed on September 17 that year, the block moved to the new channel and it ran there from September 23, 2006 to May 17, 2008, at which time {{wp|Toonzai|The CW4Kids}} was launched to replace it. Kids' WB lived on as the name of a streaming service, until a rebranding on May 17, 2015.

After initially running in syndication for 43 episodes, the Pokémon anime moved to Kids' WB starting with ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'' on February 13, 1999. The show proved to be a hit<ref>[https://www.warnermediagroup.com/newsroom/press-releases/1999/05/06/pokemon-takes-em-all-show-posts-record-high-40-share-in-boys-6-11 ''Pokemon Takes 'Em All!'' - WarnerMedia] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>, and the block aired every (non-[[Banned episodes|banned]]) episode of the anime until the end of [[S08|season eight]]. During this time, [[Warner Bros.#Warner Bros. Pictures|Warner Bros. Pictures]] also released the first three Pokémon movies in theatres (and later on home video) under the Kids' WB banner<ref>[https://www.warnermediagroup.com/newsroom/press-releases/1999/11/10/first-day-of-release-of-pokemon-the-first-movie-buoyed-by-huge ''First Day of Release of Pokémon The First Movie Buoyed by Huge Showing of Kids'' - WarnerMedia] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref><ref>[https://www.warnermediagroup.com/newsroom/press-releases/2000/03/02/kids-wb-presents-pokemon-the-movie-2000-opening-july-21 ''Kids WB!

From July 2001 until June 2002, Kids' WB's weekday afternoon editions, which included Pokémon, were branded ''Toonami on Kids' WB''.

On January 22, 2005, Kids' WB was the first to air the English version of the seventh movie, [[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]. It was also first to air the [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary]] special, ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', on April 29, 2006, before it aired in Japan. This special was the first to be dubbed by [[The Pokémon Company International]] (then known as Pokémon USA), rather than [[4Kids Entertainment]], and the only such episode that would air on Kids' WB.

In 2006 it was announced that Kids WB would no longer be airing non-Warner Bros. shows. The Pokémon anime moved to [[Cartoon Network]] (then owned by {{wp|Turner Broadcasting System}}, a separate and now defunct division of parent company WarnerMedia), beginning on September 8, 2006<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20061004132738/http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=12209 ''Press Release: New Season of "Pokémon" to Air Exclusively on Cartoon Network'' - Toon Zone] (archived from the original October 4, 2006; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref><ref name="KWBmove">[https://web.archive.org/web/20071017000426/http://toonzone.net/schedule/episode.php?ID=7209 ''Pokémon - Fear Factor Phony'' - Toon Zone] (archived from the original October 17, 2007; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>.

===Cartoon Network===
[[File:Cartoon Network 2010 Logo.png|thumb|200px|Cartoon Network logo since May 29, 2010]]
{{main|Cartoon Network}}
Cartoon Network is an American children's television network that was launched on October 1, 1992<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140204051028/https://articles.philly.com/1992-10-04/entertainment/25997256_1_betty-cohen-new-channels-cartoon-network ''That's All Cartoons, Folks - 24 Hours Daily'' - The Philadelphia Inquirer] (archived from the original February 4, 2014; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref> after Turner Broadcasting System purchased the animation studio {{wp|Hanna-Barbera}}. Since its establishment, {{wp|List of international Cartoon Network channels|international variants}} of the channel have launched around the world. Since March 4, 2019, Cartoon Network has been part of ''Warner Bros. Global Kids, Young Adults and Classics'', a division of [[Warner Bros.]]<ref>[https://variety.com/2019/biz/news/warner-bros-cartoon-network-hanna-barbera-1203154521/ ''Warner Bros. Wants to Rev Up Kid’s Content With Looney Tunes, Hanna-Barbera'' - Variety] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>

Cartoon Network first aired [[Pokémon Chronicles]] in the United States from June 3<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20060619012012/http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=10553 ''Cartoon Network Acquires "Pokemon" Series for June 3 Premiere'' - Toon Zone] (archived from the original June 19, 2006; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref> to November 25, 2006, during its {{wp|Toonami}} block. Following the anime being dropped by Kids' WB, [[S09|Season nine]] premiered on Cartoon Network on September 8, 2006<ref name="KWBmove"/>. Cartoon Network had previously aired reruns of episodes from the anime's earlier seasons, such as [[S05|season five]], and almost every episode through [[S19|season 19]] aired on the channel at some point. On their website, Cartoon Network featured several [[Cartoon Network online games|online games]] featuring Pokémon characters.

Cartoon Network sparked controversy through its practice of replacing end credit sequences with their own generic ones. For the airing of movies this meant that epilogues were often skipped, and for the first airing of the [[M13|13th movie]] several scenes were omitted<ref>{{n|TPCi not happy about Cartoon Network movie cut|''TPCi not happy about Cartoon Network movie cut'' - Bulbanews}} (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>.

The show stayed with the network until the end of [[S19|season 19]] and on December 5, 2016, moved to [[Disney XD]].
[[File:Boomerang 2015.png|thumb|150px|Boomerang logo since January 19, 2015]]

====Boomerang====
:''Boomerang redirects here. For the move known as Bone Boomerang in Japanese, see [[Bonemerang (move)]].''
{{wp|Boomerang (TV network)|Boomerang}} is a cable network owned by Warner Bros., operating as a sister station to Cartoon Network. Boomerang was launched as a block on Cartoon Network on December 8, 1992, shortly after the launch of the channel, and it was later spun off as its own network on April 1, 2000<ref>[https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-apr-01-ca-14752-story.html ''Hanna-Barbera Cartoons Return on New Boomerang'' - Los Angeles Times] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>.

Boomerang first started airing episodes of [[S01|season one]] the Pokémon anime in 2006, and again in March of 2010. As of October 2012, the channel had aired episodes from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' and prior to 2017, episodes were aired at 6 and 6:30 PM {{wp|Eastern Time Zone|ET}}/{{wp|Pacific Time Zone|PT}} (5 and 5:30 PM {{wp|Central Time Zone (North America)|CT}}) on weekdays. During the anime's time on the network, Boomerang aired the [[banned episodes|banned]] episode ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]''.

Pokémon anime reruns left the channel when the series left Cartoon Network for Disney XD, in February 2017.

====Toonami Jetstream====
[[File:Toonami Jetstream Logo.png|thumb|200px|Toonami Jetstream logo]]
Toonami Jetstream was an ad-supported streaming {{wp|video on demand}} service run as a partnership between Cartoon Network and [[VIZ Media]] between July 17, 2006 and January 30, 2009<ref>[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-01-31/toonami-jetstream-video-streaming-service-shuts-down ''Toonami Jetstream Video-Streaming Service Shuts Down'' - Anime News Network] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref><ref>{{n|Toonami Jetstream closes its doors|''Toonami Jetstream closes its doors'' - Bulbanews}} (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>.

The [[S03|third season]] of the Pokémon anime debuted on the service on October 9, 2006 under the ''Johto Journeys'' banner, beginning with ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]'' (as the service followed TV broadcast order), and finishing with ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'' on October 1, 2007. [[Pokémon Chronicles]] also debuted on Jetstream on October 9, 2006, beginning with part one of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' and finishing with ''[[Pikachu's Winter Vacation]]'' (the ''[[PK02|Christmas Night]]/[[PK03|Kanga Games]]'' combined episode) on March 5, 2007.

[[S04|Season four]] debuted on May 28, 2007 under the ''Johto League Champions'' banner, beginning with ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' and finishing with ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'' on May 27, 2008. [[S05|Season five]] made its way to the service on June 16, 2008 under the ''Master Quest'' banner, starting with ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'' and ending with ''[[240|Some Like It Hot]]'' on January 13, 2009.

[[S09|Season nine]] debuted on the service on November 17, 2008 under the ''Battle Frontier'' banner, starting with ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' and ending with ''[[AG154|Reversing the Charges]]'' on January 13, 2009.

Toonami Jetstream released episodes new to the service every Monday, unless a particular Monday was a United States holiday, which in most cases meant the debut was on a different day (such as the following Tuesday or the preceding Friday). Like other shows, new Pokémon episodes in then-current seasons debuted every week and remained available for six weeks after they debuted on the service. The service also offered short previews of the movies ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' prior to their television debuts.

To celebrate the 2007 release of [[Pokémon Snap]] on the [[Virtual Console]], [[Pokémon.com]] announced that episodes featuring [[Todd Snap]] would be offered for one week later in December<ref>{{n|Pokémon Snap to launch Dec. 10 in Wii Shop Channel|''Pokémon Snap to launch Dec. 10 in Wii Shop Channel'' - Bulbanews}} (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>. The plan was later modified in favour of traditional weekly progression; his three Johto appearances appeared as part of the normal ''Johto League Champions'' progression, with his Kanto appearances appearing on January 14, 22 and 28, 2008. The Todd version of [[Todd Snap]]'s Kanto episodes were the ones used on Toonami Jetstream. This appeared to align with the {{wp|Retroactive continuity|retcon}} of making Snap the character's surname when Pokémon Snap was announced for the Virtual Console.

On January 20, 2009, Toonami Jetstream switched all available offerings with "top 10" lists from most of their at-the-time current shows, which for the Pokémon anime only included episodes from season five. On January 30, 2009, the service shut down completely, and on May 15, 2009, the anime launched on Cartoon Network Video.

====Cartoon Network Video====
[[File:Cartoon Network Video Logo.png|thumb|200px|Former Cartoon Network Video logo]]
Cartoon Network Video is a streaming {{wp|video on demand}} service owned and operated by Cartoon Network that is available via their website or apps. The service launched on September 22, 2006 and was originally a sister service to Toonami Jetstream. It became Cartoon Network's only VOD service upon Jetsteam's shutdown on January 30, 2009.

On May 15, 2009, [[S12|season 12]] of the anime launched on Cartoon Network Video beginning with ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'' and ending with ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'' on May 17, 2010. On December 14, 2009, 97 episodes from the first two seasons (including the entirety of [[S02|season two]]) were made available on the service.

On February 1, 2010, one episode from [[S03|season three]] (''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]'') was added to the service. However, this addition may have been in error, as the episode was removed a few days later. Two months later, the entire third season was re-added but the episodes were not working for many users and they were once again taken down the following month.

Initially, Cartoon Network Video released episodes new to the service every Monday, unless a particular Monday was a United States holiday, in which case the debut was often on a different day (such as the following Tuesday). Episodes were made available the Monday following their original dub airdates and remained on the service for two weeks. However, in subsequent years episodes were uploaded later than previously and remained available for only one week.

After a October 2009 revamp, the service began using a {{wp|16:9 aspect ratio|16:9 widescreen}} video player. Content originally produced in 16:9, including all anime episodes starting with ''[[DP126|Classroom Training]]'', were shown properly on this video player regardless of the aspect ratio the episode was aired in on the Cartoon Network channel, but content originally produced in {{wp|4:3 aspect ratio|4:3 fullscreen}}, such as Pokémon episodes from earlier seasons, were stretched to fill the frame.

As with Toonami Jetstream, the Todd versions of the episodes [[Todd Snap]] appears in were the ones used on Cartoon Network Video. Additionally, episodes that involved the [[Orange Archipelago]] in any way used the theme music from the televised airings, meaning {{so|Pokémon World}} was first used on ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', with [[Pokémon Theme]] used for the three episodes prior.

==Pokémon manga==
[[VIZ Media]], based out of {{wp|San Francisco}}, {{wp|California}}, has licensed and translated several [[Pokémon manga]] titles in the United States, including [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], movie manga adaptations, and the popular [[Pokémon Adventures]] series.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
An English-language translation of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] has been sold in the United States since the release of [[Base Set (TCG)|Base Set]] in 1999, and continues to this day. Most English sets do not correspond exactly to the Japanese sets they are translated from; they often incorporate additional cards from Japanese promotions and theme decks. English-language cards are the most widely distributed worldwide; as with the games, they are exported to other English-speaking countries, but are also often sold alongside localized translations and in countries where no local translation exists. Currently, only English-language cards are tournament legal in the United States.

==Pokémon merchandise==
Pokémon merchandising has been handled by various distributors in the United States. When the franchise debuted, merchandising was handled by [[Hasbro]]. Originally, toys and merchandise were simply imported from Japan, but later Hasbro created their own toys and games for distribution in the US. In 2004, rights passed to [[Jakks Pacific]], which produced their own merchandise as well. In January 2013, merchandise rights were given to [[Takara Tomy]] and largely imported from Japan. Unlike other Pokémon merchandise in the US, Tomy's merchandise has multilingual packaging shared with Europe that features seven Western languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch), including localized Pokémon and character names where applicable. As of 2018, Wicked Cool Toys now handles the merchandise.

The United States is home to the only North American {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} stores, with one store operating in {{wp|New York City}}, {{wp|New York}} (now {{DL|Pokémon Center (store)|New York (Nintendo New York)|Nintendo New York}}) and two mall kiosks in {{wp|Washington (state)|Washington state}}. The Pokémon Center online store also currently only ships to the United States.


==Events==
{{bulbanews/4|Pokémon Rocks America 2005 dates and locations revealed|Americans to get chance to obtain Celebi|Pokémon anniversary party to be held in New York|U.S. Black and White promotional tour announced}}
Several promotional events have been held in the United States for Pokémon video games and other media. Many of these events included playable game demos, distribution of [[event Pokémon]], and other incentives such as promotional cards from the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}.

Promotional tours include the [[Pokémon 2000 Stadium Tour]], the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Adventure Tour]], [[Pokémon Rocks America]], [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary Journey Across America]], and the [[Pokémon Black and White Sampling Tour]].

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached the '''{{wp|United States|United States of America}}''' in 1998 with the release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] and the airing of the {{pkmn|anime}}. Most English translations of Pokémon media, as well as original English-language media such as ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'', are based in the United States and then further distributed in other English-speaking countries of the world.

==Pokémon games==
Most [[Pokémon games]] released in Japan are translated into English for the United States, although there are exceptions such as [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|the WiiWare Mystery Dungeon games]]. All English-language games are exported to {{pmin|Canada}}, {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, {{pmin|Australia}} and other countries (including those that do not have their own translation of the games, such as {{pmin|Latin America}} and {{pmin|Brazil}}). Event Pokémon are regularly released in the United States as well. Nintendo of America, [[Nintendo]]'s subsidiary in the United States, sometimes publishes Pokémon and Pokémon-related video games, but they handle the local distribution of all Pokémon video games available on Nintendo consoles. Nintendo of America is a major partner to [[The Pokémon Company International]]. With very few exceptions such as {{p|Pikachu}}, almost all Pokémon, character and location names are fully localized in the English language, and are referred to as such in English-language media including Bulbapedia itself.

All Pokémon games released on the Switch since [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] has bilingual (English/Spanish) packaging for its standard versions.

==Pokémon anime and movies==
The [[Pokémon anime]] debuted in {{wp|Broadcast syndication|syndication}} in the United States on September 7, 1998<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20000425180626/http://toonzone.net/brian/eplists/pokemon.html ''Pokémon'' - Toon Zone] (archived from the original April 25, 2000; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref> with the sneak preview debut of ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', which helped launch Pokémon into a nationwide phenomenon that lasted until the early 2000s. All English-language dubs of the Pokémon anime were produced in the United States, first by [[4Kids Entertainment]] and later by [[The Pokémon Company International]]. Other animated productions, such as [[Pokémon Origins]] and [[Pokémon Generations]], are also dubbed in English in the United States either via TPCI or other studios. The live-action film ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'' is a primarily American production.

While the [[Pokémon movie]]s are regularly released theatrically in Japan, only movies [[M01|one]] through [[M05|five]], the [[M13|13th movie]], the Zekrom variant of the [[M14|14th movie]], the [[M20|20th movie]], and the [[M21|21st movie]] (along with [[Detective Pikachu (movie)|Pokémon Detective Pikachu]]) have seen theatrical releases in the US; all other movies have premiered on television and released straight to video, DVD, or streaming.

===Kids' WB===
[[File:Kids WB logo.png|thumb|125px|Kids' WB logo used from 1997-2008]]
[[Warner Bros.#Kids' WB|Kids' WB]] (sometimes styled as Kids WB!) was an American children's television programming block and brand owned by {{wp|Warner Bros. Television}} that first aired on September 9, 1995, on {{wp|The WB|The WB Television Network}}<ref>[https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-10-22-tv-59667-story.html ''WB Raises the Animation Ante'' - Los Angeles Times] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>. On January 24, 2006 it was announced The WB and {{wp|CBS Corporation}}'s {{wp|UPN}} would merge to create {{wp|The CW}}<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/24/business/media/upn-and-wb-to-combine-forming-new-tv-network.html ''UPN and WB to Combine, Forming New TV Network'' - New York Times] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>. When The WB closed on September 17 that year, the block moved to the new channel and it ran there from September 23, 2006 to May 17, 2008, at which time {{wp|Toonzai|The CW4Kids}} was launched to replace it. Kids' WB lived on as the name of a streaming service, until a rebranding on May 17, 2015.

After initially running in syndication for 43 episodes, the Pokémon anime moved to Kids' WB starting with ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'' on February 13, 1999. The show proved to be a hit<ref>[https://www.warnermediagroup.com/newsroom/press-releases/1999/05/06/pokemon-takes-em-all-show-posts-record-high-40-share-in-boys-6-11 ''Pokemon Takes 'Em All!'' - WarnerMedia] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>, and the block aired every (non-[[Banned episodes|banned]]) episode of the anime until the end of [[S08|season eight]]. During this time, [[Warner Bros.#Warner Bros. Pictures|Warner Bros. Pictures]] also released the first three Pokémon movies in theatres (and later on home video) under the Kids' WB banner<ref>[https://www.warnermediagroup.com/newsroom/press-releases/1999/11/10/first-day-of-release-of-pokemon-the-first-movie-buoyed-by-huge ''First Day of Release of Pokémon The First Movie Buoyed by Huge Showing of Kids'' - WarnerMedia] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref><ref>[https://www.warnermediagroup.com/newsroom/press-releases/2000/03/02/kids-wb-presents-pokemon-the-movie-2000-opening-july-21 ''Kids WB!

Presents Pokémon 3 The Movie' '' - WarnerMedia] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>. From July 2001 until June 2002, Kids' WB's weekday afternoon editions, which included Pokémon, were branded ''Toonami on Kids' WB''.

On January 22, 2005, Kids' WB was the first to air the English version of the seventh movie, [[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]. It was also first to air the [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary]] special, ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', on April 29, 2006, before it aired in Japan. This special was the first to be dubbed by [[The Pokémon Company International]] (then known as Pokémon USA), rather than [[4Kids Entertainment]], and the only such episode that would air on Kids' WB.

In 2006 it was announced that Kids WB would no longer be airing non-Warner Bros. shows. The Pokémon anime moved to [[Cartoon Network]] (then owned by {{wp|Turner Broadcasting System}}, a separate and now defunct division of parent company WarnerMedia), beginning on September 8, 2006<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20061004132738/http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=12209 ''Press Release: New Season of "Pokémon" to Air Exclusively on Cartoon Network'' - Toon Zone] (archived from the original October 4, 2006; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref><ref name="KWBmove">[https://web.archive.org/web/20071017000426/http://toonzone.net/schedule/episode.php?ID=7209 ''Pokémon - Fear Factor Phony'' - Toon Zone] (archived from the original October 17, 2007; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>.

===Cartoon Network===
[[File:Cartoon Network 2010 Logo.png|thumb|200px|Cartoon Network logo since May 29, 2010]]
{{main|Cartoon Network}}
Cartoon Network is an American children's television network that was launched on October 1, 1992<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140204051028/https://articles.philly.com/1992-10-04/entertainment/25997256_1_betty-cohen-new-channels-cartoon-network ''That's All Cartoons, Folks - 24 Hours Daily'' - The Philadelphia Inquirer] (archived from the original February 4, 2014; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref> after Turner Broadcasting System purchased the animation studio {{wp|Hanna-Barbera}}. Since its establishment, {{wp|List of international Cartoon Network channels|international variants}} of the channel have launched around the world. Since March 4, 2019, Cartoon Network has been part of ''Warner Bros. Global Kids, Young Adults and Classics'', a division of [[Warner Bros.]]<ref>[https://variety.com/2019/biz/news/warner-bros-cartoon-network-hanna-barbera-1203154521/ ''Warner Bros. Wants to Rev Up Kid’s Content With Looney Tunes, Hanna-Barbera'' - Variety] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>

Cartoon Network first aired [[Pokémon Chronicles]] in the United States from June 3<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20060619012012/http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=10553 ''Cartoon Network Acquires "Pokemon" Series for June 3 Premiere'' - Toon Zone] (archived from the original June 19, 2006; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref> to November 25, 2006, during its {{wp|Toonami}} block. Following the anime being dropped by Kids' WB, [[S09|Season nine]] premiered on Cartoon Network on September 8, 2006<ref name="KWBmove"/>. Cartoon Network had previously aired reruns of episodes from the anime's earlier seasons, such as [[S05|season five]], and almost every episode through [[S19|season 19]] aired on the channel at some point. On their website, Cartoon Network featured several [[Cartoon Network online games|online games]] featuring Pokémon characters.

Cartoon Network sparked controversy through its practice of replacing end credit sequences with their own generic ones. For the airing of movies this meant that epilogues were often skipped, and for the first airing of the [[M13|13th movie]] several scenes were omitted<ref>{{n|TPCi not happy about Cartoon Network movie cut|''TPCi not happy about Cartoon Network movie cut'' - Bulbanews}} (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>.

The show stayed with the network until the end of [[S19|season 19]] and on December 5, 2016, moved to [[Disney XD]].
[[File:Boomerang 2015.png|thumb|150px|Boomerang logo since January 19, 2015]]

====Boomerang====
:''Boomerang redirects here. For the move known as Bone Boomerang in Japanese, see [[Bonemerang (move)]].''
{{wp|Boomerang (TV network)|Boomerang}} is a cable network owned by Warner Bros., operating as a sister station to Cartoon Network. Boomerang was launched as a block on Cartoon Network on December 8, 1992, shortly after the launch of the channel, and it was later spun off as its own network on April 1, 2000<ref>[https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-apr-01-ca-14752-story.html ''Hanna-Barbera Cartoons Return on New Boomerang'' - Los Angeles Times] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>.

Boomerang first started airing episodes of [[S01|season one]] the Pokémon anime in 2006, and again in March of 2010. As of October 2012, the channel had aired episodes from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' and prior to 2017, episodes were aired at 6 and 6:30 PM {{wp|Eastern Time Zone|ET}}/{{wp|Pacific Time Zone|PT}} (5 and 5:30 PM {{wp|Central Time Zone (North America)|CT}}) on weekdays. During the anime's time on the network, Boomerang aired the [[banned episodes|banned]] episode ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]''.

Pokémon anime reruns left the channel when the series left Cartoon Network for Disney XD, in February 2017.

====Toonami Jetstream====
[[File:Toonami Jetstream Logo.png|thumb|200px|Toonami Jetstream logo]]
Toonami Jetstream was an ad-supported streaming {{wp|video on demand}} service run as a partnership between Cartoon Network and [[VIZ Media]] between July 17, 2006 and January 30, 2009<ref>[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-01-31/toonami-jetstream-video-streaming-service-shuts-down ''Toonami Jetstream Video-Streaming Service Shuts Down'' - Anime News Network] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref><ref>{{n|Toonami Jetstream closes its doors|''Toonami Jetstream closes its doors'' - Bulbanews}} (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>.

The [[S03|third season]] of the Pokémon anime debuted on the service on October 9, 2006 under the ''Johto Journeys'' banner, beginning with ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]'' (as the service followed TV broadcast order), and finishing with ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'' on October 1, 2007. [[Pokémon Chronicles]] also debuted on Jetstream on October 9, 2006, beginning with part one of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' and finishing with ''[[Pikachu's Winter Vacation]]'' (the ''[[PK02|Christmas Night]]/[[PK03|Kanga Games]]'' combined episode) on March 5, 2007.

[[S04|Season four]] debuted on May 28, 2007 under the ''Johto League Champions'' banner, beginning with ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' and finishing with ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'' on May 27, 2008. [[S05|Season five]] made its way to the service on June 16, 2008 under the ''Master Quest'' banner, starting with ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'' and ending with ''[[240|Some Like It Hot]]'' on January 13, 2009.

[[S09|Season nine]] debuted on the service on November 17, 2008 under the ''Battle Frontier'' banner, starting with ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' and ending with ''[[AG154|Reversing the Charges]]'' on January 13, 2009.

Toonami Jetstream released episodes new to the service every Monday, unless a particular Monday was a United States holiday, which in most cases meant the debut was on a different day (such as the following Tuesday or the preceding Friday). Like other shows, new Pokémon episodes in then-current seasons debuted every week and remained available for six weeks after they debuted on the service. The service also offered short previews of the movies ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' prior to their television debuts.

To celebrate the 2007 release of [[Pokémon Snap]] on the [[Virtual Console]], [[Pokémon.com]] announced that episodes featuring [[Todd Snap]] would be offered for one week later in December<ref>{{n|Pokémon Snap to launch Dec. 10 in Wii Shop Channel|''Pokémon Snap to launch Dec. 10 in Wii Shop Channel'' - Bulbanews}} (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>. The plan was later modified in favour of traditional weekly progression; his three Johto appearances appeared as part of the normal ''Johto League Champions'' progression, with his Kanto appearances appearing on January 14, 22 and 28, 2008. The Todd version of [[Todd Snap]]'s Kanto episodes were the ones used on Toonami Jetstream. This appeared to align with the {{wp|Retroactive continuity|retcon}} of making Snap the character's surname when Pokémon Snap was announced for the Virtual Console.

On January 20, 2009, Toonami Jetstream switched all available offerings with "top 10" lists from most of their at-the-time current shows, which for the Pokémon anime only included episodes from season five. On January 30, 2009, the service shut down completely, and on May 15, 2009, the anime launched on Cartoon Network Video.

====Cartoon Network Video====
[[File:Cartoon Network Video Logo.png|thumb|200px|Former Cartoon Network Video logo]]
Cartoon Network Video is a streaming {{wp|video on demand}} service owned and operated by Cartoon Network that is available via their website or apps. The service launched on September 22, 2006 and was originally a sister service to Toonami Jetstream. It became Cartoon Network's only VOD service upon Jetsteam's shutdown on January 30, 2009.

On May 15, 2009, [[S12|season 12]] of the anime launched on Cartoon Network Video beginning with ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'' and ending with ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'' on May 17, 2010. On December 14, 2009, 97 episodes from the first two seasons (including the entirety of [[S02|season two]]) were made available on the service.

On February 1, 2010, one episode from [[S03|season three]] (''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]'') was added to the service. However, this addition may have been in error, as the episode was removed a few days later. Two months later, the entire third season was re-added but the episodes were not working for many users and they were once again taken down the following month.

Initially, Cartoon Network Video released episodes new to the service every Monday, unless a particular Monday was a United States holiday, in which case the debut was often on a different day (such as the following Tuesday). Episodes were made available the Monday following their original dub airdates and remained on the service for two weeks. However, in subsequent years episodes were uploaded later than previously and remained available for only one week.

After a October 2009 revamp, the service began using a {{wp|16:9 aspect ratio|16:9 widescreen}} video player. Content originally produced in 16:9, including all anime episodes starting with ''[[DP126|Classroom Training]]'', were shown properly on this video player regardless of the aspect ratio the episode was aired in on the Cartoon Network channel, but content originally produced in {{wp|4:3 aspect ratio|4:3 fullscreen}}, such as Pokémon episodes from earlier seasons, were stretched to fill the frame.

As with Toonami Jetstream, the Todd versions of the episodes [[Todd Snap]] appears in were the ones used on Cartoon Network Video. Additionally, episodes that involved the [[Orange Archipelago]] in any way used the theme music from the televised airings, meaning {{so|Pokémon World}} was first used on ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', with [[Pokémon Theme]] used for the three episodes prior.

===Disney XD===

==Pokémon manga==
[[VIZ Media]], based out of {{wp|San Francisco}}, {{wp|California}}, has licensed and translated several [[Pokémon manga]] titles in the United States, including [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], movie manga adaptations, and the popular [[Pokémon Adventures]] series.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
An English-language translation of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] has been sold in the United States since the release of [[Base Set (TCG)|Base Set]] in 1999, and continues to this day. Most English sets do not correspond exactly to the Japanese sets they are translated from; they often incorporate additional cards from Japanese promotions and theme decks. English-language cards are the most widely distributed worldwide; as with the games, they are exported to other English-speaking countries, but are also often sold alongside localized translations and in countries where no local translation exists. Currently, only English-language cards are tournament legal in the United States.

==Pokémon merchandise==
Pokémon merchandising has been handled by various distributors in the United States. When the franchise debuted, merchandising was handled by [[Hasbro]]. Originally, toys and merchandise were simply imported from Japan, but later Hasbro created their own toys and games for distribution in the US. In 2004, rights passed to [[Jakks Pacific]], which produced their own merchandise as well. In January 2013, merchandise rights were given to [[Takara Tomy]] and largely imported from Japan. Unlike other Pokémon merchandise in the US, Tomy's merchandise has multilingual packaging shared with Europe that features seven Western languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch), including localized Pokémon and character names where applicable. As of 2018, Wicked Cool Toys now handles the merchandise.

The United States is home to the only North American {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} stores, with one store operating in {{wp|New York City}}, {{wp|New York}} (now {{DL|Pokémon Center (store)|New York (Nintendo New York)|Nintendo New York}}) and two mall kiosks in {{wp|Washington (state)|Washington state}}. The Pokémon Center online store also currently only ships to the United States.


==Events==
{{bulbanews/4|Pokémon Rocks America 2005 dates and locations revealed|Americans to get chance to obtain Celebi|Pokémon anniversary party to be held in New York|U.S. Black and White promotional tour announced}}
Several promotional events have been held in the United States for Pokémon video games and other media. Many of these events included playable game demos, distribution of [[event Pokémon]], and other incentives such as promotional cards from the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}.

Promotional tours include the [[Pokémon 2000 Stadium Tour]], the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Adventure Tour]], [[Pokémon Rocks America]], [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary Journey Across America]], and the [[Pokémon Black and White Sampling Tour]].

The [[World Championships]] have been held by [[Play! Pokémon]] (formerly Pokémon Organized Play) annually in the United States since 2004. So far, only one World Championship has been held outside of the United States, which was the [[2013 World Championships]] in Vancouver, British Columbia, {{pmin|Canada}}.

The [[Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions]] series of concerts has been touring the United States since 2014. The United States was the first country the concerts appeared in.

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached the '''{{wp|United States|United States of America}}''' in 1998 with the release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] and the airing of the {{pkmn|anime}}. Most English translations of Pokémon media are based in the United States and then further distributed in other English-speaking countries of the world.

==Pokémon video games==
Most Pokémon video games released in Japan are translated into English for the United States, although there are exceptions such as [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|the WiiWare Mystery Dungeon games]]. All English-language games are exported to {{pmin|Canada}}, {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, {{pmin|Australia}} and other countries (including those that do not have their own translation of the games, such as {{pmin|Latin America}} and {{pmin|Brazil}}). Event Pokémon are regularly released in the United States as well.

Despite having the games translated to English, all Pokémon games released on the Switch since [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] has bilingual (English/Spanish) packaging for its standard versions.

==Pokémon anime==
The [[Pokémon anime]] debuted in the United States on September 7, 1998 with the sneak preview debut of ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', helping to launch Pokémon into a nationwide phenomenon that lasted until the early 2000s. All English-language dubs of the Pokémon anime were produced in the United States, first by [[4Kids Entertainment]] and later by [[The Pokémon Company International]]{{tt|*|Pokémon USA prior to 2009}}. All of the English anime voice acting is based in New York, due to the lower dubbing cost.

While the [[Pokémon movie]]s are regularly released theatrically in Japan, [[M01|only]] [[M02|the]] [[M03|first]] [[M04|five]] [[M05|movies]], the [[M13|13th movie]], the Zekrom variant of the [[M14|14th movie]], and the [[M20|20th movie]] have seen theatrical releases in the US; all other movies have premiered on television (usually on Cartoon Network) and released straight to video or DVD.

===Kids' WB===
[[File:Kids WB logo.png|thumb|200px|right|Kids' WB logo used from 1997-2008. The design of the logo itself varied slightly throughout the years.]]
{{wp|Kids' WB}} is a former programming block that was broadcast on {{wp|The WB}} television network, and later, as a result of a merge between the WB and {{wp|UPN}}, on {{wp|The CW}}. The initial run of the block was from 1995-2008, and it aired (at various stages) both before and after school, and also on Saturday mornings. Kids' WB, in its original form, shut down on May 17, 2008. Prior to its closure, it was relaunched as an online {{wp|video on demand}} service.

Kids' WB aired episodes from the original [[4Kids Entertainment]] dub of the [[Pokémon anime]] from 1999 until 2006. The first episode aired was ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', on February 13, 1999. The network aired the remainder of the first season, and every other non-banned episode through [[S08|season eight]]. Warner Bros. also released the first three [[Pokémon movie]]s under the Kids' WB name.

On January 22, 2005, Kids' WB was the first to air the English version of the seventh movie, [[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]. It was also first to air the 10th anniversary Pokémon special, ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', on April 29, 2006, even before it aired in Japan. This special was the first to be dubbed by [[The Pokémon Company International]] (then known as Pokémon USA), as well as being the only time Kids' WB aired the new dub by Pokémon USA. Along with the special, a promotional sweepstakes was run by Kids' WB to win tenth anniversary related merchandise.

In 2006, before any more Pokémon USA episodes could be aired, the network announced that most non-{{wp|Warner Bros.}} related shows would be dropped from the lineup. This meant that ''Pokémon'', among other shows, would no longer be aired on Kids' WB. The series would eventually move to Cartoon Network, which at the time was owned by TimeWarner via its' {{wp|Turner Broadcasting}} division, managed by {{wp|Ted Turner}}, on September 8th.

On October 2, 2007, it was announced that the Kids' WB block would end in September the following year. Management stated that this was because of the effects of children's advertising limits and competition from cable TV channels. In an ironic twist, the block was sold to 4Kids, who had previously acquired the {{wp|Fox Kids}} block, rebranding it as Fox Box and then {{wp|4Kids TV}}. {{wp|Fox Broadcasting Company}} ended their relationship with 4Kids in December 2008, and as of 2010, used the old slot to allow affiliates to use for news or {{wp|E/I}} programming, save for two hours called Fox Marketplace, in essence a block of {{wp|Infomercials}}.

The last time Kids' WB aired was, contrary to earlier reports, May 17, 2008. After this date, the block was renamed as {{wp|Toonzai|The CW4Kids}}. Kids' WB was relaunched as an online video on demand service, which was launched on April 28, 2008. ''Pokémon'' is not included on the list of available titles, but episodes are available on demand via the USA [[Pokémon.com]] web portal. Seven years later, Kids' WB was subsequently shut down and was split up into Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo, and DC Universe websites, effectively retiring the Kids' WB name after almost 20 years.

===Cartoon Network===
[[File:Cartoon Network 2010 Logo.png|thumb|200px|right|Cartoon Network's logo since May 29, 2010]]
Cartoon Network is a cable network owned by {{wp|WarnerMedia}} that previously carried the [[Pokémon anime]] meta series. The channel was launched on October 1, 1992 after Turner purchased the animation studio {{wp|Hanna-Barbera}} in 1991. They started with ''[[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'' on September 8, 2006. They picked up the series after corporate sibling Kids' WB dropped the series in its efforts to focus more on series produced in-house, which had since been taken over by [[4Kids Entertainment]], the former producer of the anime series.
[[File:Cn logo lightbg.png|thumb|200px|left|Cartoon Network's original logo, which is currently used as a trademark]]
Previously, they had aired reruns of episodes from the anime's earlier seasons, such as ''[[S05|Master Quest]]''. Almost every season through ''[[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]]'' has aired on Cartoon Network. They have also aired all ''[[Pokémon Chronicles]]'' episodes during the summer of 2006. The series no longer airs on the network as of 2018 due to Disney XD obtaining airing rights of the anime. Their sibling network Boomerang aired episodes from the [[original series]], the {{series|Advanced Generation}} and the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.
{{bulbanews|TPCi not happy about Cartoon Network movie cut}}
Cartoon Network tends to marginalize end credits—replacing the original ending with their own generic credits while running a promo. This is not a very big loss for anime episodes, which have rather unremarkable ending sequences in the dub, unless the credits break away from the current format, such as in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''. However, by extension, this means that the credits of Pokémon movies aired on the channel, which contain an epilogue, are missed, to the chagrin of viewers. Occasionally, the credits are simply sped up. Also, when the [[M13|thirteenth movie]] first aired on the channel, several scenes were omitted, which [[The Pokémon Company International|TPCi]] did not appreciate.

On their website, Cartoon Network featured [[Cartoon Network online games|several online games]] featuring Pokémon characters.

====Toonami====
[[File:Toonami2007logo.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Toonami's logo from 2007-2008]]
Toonami is an extension of Cartoon Network. It formerly aired [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and, after Kids' WB stopped airing new episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[S09|Battle Frontier]].

From July 2001 until June 2002, Kids' WB's weekday afternoon editions, which included Pokémon, were branded ''Toonami on Kids' WB'', making this period the first instance of Pokémon on Toonami.

The Toonami block aired for the final time on September 20, 2008. Although the Toonami block itself ended, the block's streaming-video service Toonami Jetstream, which showed episodes from various arcs of Pokémon anime, continued operations until January 30, 2009. After nearly four years of being off the year in the US, Toonami later returned on the air on May 26, 2012, but now on Adult Swim, Cartoon Network's late-night programming block. This was done by popular demand after an April Fools stunt.

====Toonami Jetstream====
[[File:Toonami Jetstream Logo.png|thumb|200px|right|Toonami Jetstream's logo]]
Toonami Jetstream was a {{wp|Streaming media|streaming video}} service run by Cartoon Network and [[VIZ Media]] to provide anime and action cartoons 24 hours a day. The service launched on July 17, 2006. The service remained online even after its parent programming block, Toonami, ended on September 20, 2008. On January 20, 2009, Toonami Jetstream switched all available offerings with "top 10" lists from most of their at-the-time current shows. Toonami Jetstream shut down on January 30, 2009. Cartoon Network Video, Toonami Jetstream's former sister service, became Cartoon Network's lone streaming video service at the time Jetstream shut down. The Pokémon anime did not initially migrate over to Cartoon Network Video, but would do so a few months after Jetstream's shutdown.
{{bulbanews|Toonami Jetstream closes its doors}}
The third season of the [[Pokémon anime]] debuted on the service on October 9, 2006 under the [[S03|Johto Journeys]] banner. The first episode offered on the service was ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]''. The last episode under this classification, ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'', debuted on Jetstream on October 1, 2007.

[[Pokémon Chronicles]] also debuted on Toonami Jetstream on October 9, 2006. The first episode of the side series offered on the service was part 1 of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''. The final episode, Pikachu's Winter Vacation: ''[[PK02|Christmas Night]]''/''[[PK03|Kanga Games]]'', debuted on the service on March 5, 2007.

The fourth season debuted on Toonami Jetstream on May 28, 2007 under the [[S04|Johto League Champions]] banner. ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' was the first episode offered under that classification. The last episode under this classification, ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'', debuted on Jetstream on May 27, 2008.

The first season debuted on Toonami Jetstream on January 14, 2008 under the [[S01|Pokémon]] banner as part of a special offering involving {{g|Snap}}. ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'' was the first episode offered under that classification. This classification never saw a regular progression.

The fifth season debuted on Toonami Jetstream on June 16, 2008 under the [[S05|Master Quest]] banner. ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'' was the first episode offered under that classification. The last episode under this classification, ''[[EP240|Some Like It Hot]]'', debuted on Jetstream on January 13, 2009. This classification was the only one featured in the Top 10 format prior to the service's shutdown.

The ninth season debuted on Toonami Jetstream on November 17, 2008 under the [[S09|Battle Frontier]] banner. ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' was the first episode offered under that classification. The last episode under this classification, ''[[AG154|Reversing the Charges]]'', debuted on Jetstream on January 13, 2009.

Toonami Jetstream released episodes new to the service every Monday, unless a particular Monday is a United States holiday, in most cases the debut was on a different day (such as the following Tuesday or the preceding Friday). Like other shows on Toonami Jetstream, new Pokémon episodes in currently-running seasons debuted every week and remained available on Toonami Jetstream for six weeks after they debuted on the service.

Toonami Jetstream also offered short previews of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' prior to their television debuts.

To celebrate the release of Pokémon Snap on the Virtual Console, [[Pokémon.com]] have announced that episodes featuring [[Todd Snap]] will be offered for one week later in December. That method was scrapped in favor of traditional weekly progression; his three Johto appearances appeared as part of the normal Johto League Champions progression, with his Kanto appearances appearing on January 14, 2008, January 22, 2008, and January 28, 2008.

The Todd version of [[Todd Snap]]'s Kanto episodes are the ones used on Toonami Jetstream. This appears to go with the {{wp|Retroactive continuity|retcon}} of making Snap his surname when {{g|Snap}} was announced for the Virtual Console.

====Cartoon Network Video====
[[File:Cartoon Network Video Logo.png|thumb|200px|right|Cartoon Network Video's former logo]]
Cartoon Network Video is a {{wp|Streaming media|streaming video}} service run by Cartoon Network to provide animated programs 24 hours a day. The service launched on September 22, 2006. Originally a sister service to {{wp|Toonami Jetstream}}, which had long offered the Pokémon anime, Cartoon Network Video became Cartoon Network's lone streaming video service after Toonami Jetstream shut down on January 30, 2009. The [[Pokémon anime]] debuted on the service on May 15, 2009.

The first classification used for the Pokémon anime on Cartoon Network Video is [[S12|DP: Galactic Battles]], not appearing to follow any specific season unlike when the Pokémon anime ran on Toonami Jetstream. The first episode offered on the service was ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'' The final episode uploaded with the banner displaying Galactic Battles was ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'', uploaded on May 17, 2010.

On December 14, 2009, 97 episodes from the first two seasons including the entirety of season two, listed under the names of the first two arcs [[S01|Indigo League]] and [[S02|Adventures in the Orange Islands]], were made available on the service, arranged as subclassifications under the show's banner (which still lists Galactic Battles). Unlike Galactic Battles, the episodes from the first two episodes are divided by season, but under the name of one of the arcs, meaning season two episodes from the Indigo League arc are classified under the Adventures in the Orange Islands classification. This is similar to how the last 11 episodes of the second arc, which are also the first 11 episodes of the third season, were available on Toonami Jetstream under the [[S03|third arc's name]].

On February 1, 2010, a fourth subclassification under the show's banner was added to house season three, listed under the name "[[S03|The Johto Journeys]]"; only one episode was made available that day, ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]''. However, this addition may have been in error, as both the classification and the episode were removed a few days later. The classification was later re-added two months later with the entire third season included, but the episodes in the classification were not working for many users, and the classification was once again taken down the following month.

On June 5, 2010, the banner depiction for Pokémon on Cartoon Network Video was switched to the new classification of [[S13|DP: Sinnoh League Victors]], carrying over all content that had been classified under the previous arc's name.

Initially, Cartoon Network Video released episodes new to the service every Monday, unless a particular Monday was a United States holiday, in most cases the debut was on a different day (such as the following Tuesday). The newest episodes were currently made available the Monday following their original dub airdates and remain on the service for two weeks. More recently, however, episodes have been uploaded later than previously and remain available for only one week.

After a site revamp in October 2009, Cartoon Network Video uses a dedicated 16:9 widescreen video player. A lot of content originally produced in 16:9 widescreen, including all Pokémon episodes starting with ''[[DP126|Classroom Training]]'', are shown properly on this video player regardless of the aspect ratio an episode showed in on Cartoon Network's standard-definition television feed, but content originally produced in 4:3 fullscreen, such as Pokémon episodes from earlier seasons, are stretched to fill the 16:9 frame in a process similar to {{wp|Stretch-o-Vision}}.

The Todd versions of the episodes [[Todd Snap]] appears in are the ones used on Cartoon Network Video; the same was true when shown on Toonami Jetstream. Additionally, any episode that involves the [[Orange Archipelago]] in any way, shape, or form uses the theme presented from televised airings, meaning {{so|Pokémon World}} is first used with ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'' on Cartoon Network Video with [[Pokémon Theme]] used for the three episodes prior.

===Boomerang===
[[File:Boomerang 2015.png|thumb|200px|right|Boomerang's current logo adopted since January 19, 2015]]
Boomerang is a cable network owned by {{wp|WarnerMedia}}, operating as a sister station to Cartoon Network. Boomerang primarily airs contemporary cartoons from WarnerMedia's archival history such as {{wp|Looney Tunes}}, {{wp|The Flintstones}}, {{wp|The Jetsons}}, Popeye the Sailor Man, and The Yogi Bear Show, newer series that do not air on Cartoon Network, such as the current Warner Bros. Animation shows, well as older episodes of currently-running series, Pokémon among them. A full list is on {{wp|List of programs broadcast by Boomerang|Wikipedia}}. Boomerang was launched shortly after the introduction of Cartoon Network in 1992. However, it was only a block on the network, and was not spun off into a channel until 2000. During its time as a block, it lasted for only a couple of hours at a time.

[[File:Boomerang logo.png|thumb|200px|left|Boomerang's former logo]]
Boomerang first started airing episodes of the popular Pokémon series when it first aired the {{series|original}} in 2006, and after that in March of 2010. As of October 2012, the channel aired episodes from [[EP001]] to [[DP191]]. Prior to 2017, episode were aired at 6 and 6:30 PM {{wp|Eastern Time Zone|ET}}/{{wp|Pacific Time Zone|PT}} (5 and 5:30 PM {{wp|Central Time Zone (North America)|CT}}) on weekdays.

Boomerang previously aired the [[banned episodes|banned]] episode ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]''.

In January 19, 2015, the U.S. version of Boomerang was be relaunched as part of a global rebranding effort in an effort to original programming for the first time. The relaunched channel continues to emphasize its archival programming but with a greatly increased emphasis on the archive's most popular brands and an explicitly {{wp|family-friendly}} approach, in the hopes that Boomerang could become a “second {{wp|flagship (broadcasting)|flagship}}” on par with the main Cartoon Network channel.

Due to [[#Disney XD|Disney XD]] obtaining airing rights to the Pokémon anime, it no longer airs on Boomerang as of February 2017.

===Toon Disney===
[[File:Toon Disney logo.png|thumb|200px|right|Toon Disney's logo from 2005-2009]]
Toon Disney was an American cable television channel which began broadcasting on April 18, 1998 (the date was chosen to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the launch of its parent channel, {{wp|Disney Channel}}). It was owned by {{wp|The Walt Disney Company}}, who also owned the [[Miramax Films]] film studio during the period of the channel's existence. Its programming was aimed at 2-11 year olds.

Toon Disney had shown the ''Pokémon'' motion pictures distributed in the United States by Miramax: ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. On February 13, 2009, Toon Disney was succeeded by [[#Disney XD|Disney XD]], a channel geared towards boys ages 6-14.

===Disney XD===
[[File:Disney XD Logo.png|thumb|200px|left|Disney XD's logo since 2015]]
Disney XD is a cable network geared towards boys ages 6-14 owned by {{wp|The Walt Disney Company}} that acquired airing rights to the [[Pokémon anime]], beginning with the {{series|Sun & Moon}}. The channel was launched on February 13, 2009, replacing [[#Toon Disney|Toon Disney]]. They began airing the anime with a marathon including ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', and ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'' on December 5, 2016.

Currently, reruns of the season ''[[S20|Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' air everyday at 4:00 PM {{wp|Eastern Time Zone|ET}}/{{wp|Pacific Time Zone|PT}} (3:00 PM {{wp|Central Time Zone (North America)|CT}}). They have also previously aired ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'', and ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''. Episodes from the {{series2|original}}, {{series2|Advanced Generation}}, {{series2|Diamond & Pearl}}, {{series2|Best Wishes}}, {{series2|XY}}, and {{series|Sun & Moon}} can also be streamed through the DisneyNOW app or Watch Disney XD website.

Unlike Cartoon Network, Disney XD carries the {{pmin|Latin America}}n Spanish dub through the {{wp|second audio program}} (SAP) channel or a separate channel carrying the Spanish audio feed, depending on the provider.

===Other video streaming===

[[VIZ Media]], based out of {{wp|San Francisco}}, {{wp|California}}, has licensed and translated several [[Pokémon manga]] titles in the United States, including [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], movie manga adaptations, and the popular [[Pokémon Adventures]] series.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
An English-language translation of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] has been sold in the United States since the release of [[Base Set (TCG)|Base Set]] in 1999, and continues to this day. Most English sets do not correspond exactly to the Japanese sets they are translated from; they often incorporate additional cards from Japanese promotions and theme decks. English-language cards are the most widely distributed worldwide; as with the games, they are exported to other English-speaking countries, but are also often sold alongside localized translations and in countries where no local translation exists. Currently, only English-language cards are tournament legal in the United States.

==Pokémon merchandise==
Pokémon merchandising has been handled by various distributors in the United States. When the franchise debuted, merchandising was handled by [[Hasbro]]. Originally, toys and merchandise were simply imported from Japan, but later Hasbro created their own toys and games for distribution in the US. In 2004, rights passed to [[Jakks Pacific]], which produced their own merchandise as well. As of January 2013, merchandise has been handled by [[Takara Tomy]] and largely imported from Japan. Unlike other Pokémon merchandise in the US, Tomy's merchandise has multilingual packaging shared with Europe that features seven Western languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch), including localized Pokémon and character names where applicable.

The United States is home to the only North American {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} stores, with one store operating in {{wp|New York City}}, {{wp|New York}} (now {{DL|Pokémon Center (store)|New York (Nintendo New York)|Nintendo New York}}) and two mall kiosks in {{wp|Washington (state)|Washington state}}. The Pokémon Center online store also currently only ships to the United States.
