This is a list of typos in official [[Pokémon]] media.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow===
* In the instruction manuals of {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, [[Viridian Forest]] is misspelled as '''Viridan Forest''' in the section about {{rt|2|Kanto}}.

===Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire===
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the description of {{p|Togepi}} {{DL|Pokémon doll|Generation III|doll}} is misspelled as "A '''TOPGEPI''' doll." in version 1.0, but this was corrected in version 1.1.
* In Pokémon Ruby only, {{p|Mawile}} is misspelled as "MAWHILE" twice in the Pokédex from version 1.0, but this was corrected in version 1.1.
* [[Norman]]'s dialogue for giving the player the [[Eon Ticket]] contains numerous formatting errors. There is a quotation mark after Norman's name instead of a colon, and no space between the comma and the player's name.

===Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen===
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, in the [[Teachy TV]] topic "How to register an item," the [[Primo|Poké Dude]] says "Once an item in the KEY ITEMS '''POKCET''' is registered, you can use it by pressing SELECT."

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl===
* In the main menu of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, if a {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} cart is present in [[dual-slot mode|Slot 2]] of the {{DS}}, the migration option is incorrectly stated as "Migrate from Fire Red" or "Migrate from Leaf Green", with a space in the middle of the version name. This typo was fixed in {{v2|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, when the player has a completely filled [[National Pokédex]] (minus event Pokémon), [[Professor Oak]] says this in his congratulatory speech: "<span style="font-family:serif">Meeting you is something '''l''' will cherish all my life long!</span>", using a lowercase L instead of a capital I.
* In Pokémon SoulSilver only, {{p|Froslass}}'s Pokédex entry is missing the period at the end. The same Pokédex entry appears in HeartGold and in later games, with the period present.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, when calling [[Morty]] on Tuesday nights for a rematch, he says “I’m '''competely''' free today. Why don’t we have a battle”?

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2===
* A female {{tc|Ace Trainer}} in the east {{ci|Nimbasa}} [[gate]] uses the contraction "'''it's'''" rather than the possessive "its" when describing {{p|Zoroark}}'s presence in [[Lostlorn Forest]] two years prior.
* A {{tc|Lass}} in [[Accumula Town]] asks to see a Pokémon that is 17′ (5 m) or larger. Upon showing her one, she says "Wow! Amazing! '''a''' <Pokémon> is sooooo big!", beginning a sentence with a lowercase A instead of a capital.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
* When retrieving a Pokémon from the [[Day Care]] at the [[Battle Resort]], the girl at the counter will say "Your <Pokémon> has grown by <number> level during its stay with us." even if the number of levels is not 1, in which case it would be appropriate to use "levels" rather than "level".

===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the [[Curry]] Dex's description for the Spicy Decorative Curry begins with "Despite '''it's''' cute look, the curry roux is overly spicy.", using the contraction "it's" instead of the proper possessive "its".

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
* In [[The Teal Mask]] DLC, when the player first talks to the [[Glitterati]], Billy says "decieve" instead of "deceive". In subsequent encounters, which all also use the word "deceive", it is spelled correctly.

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
* In [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Side missions|Side Mission 069: "A Sky Battle, for Old Times' Sake"]], Volli says "Really brings home how tall some of buildings are, you know?", with no determiner before "buildings".
* In the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC, in [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Side missions|Side Mission 156: "A Special Seviper"]], Erpen says "And I, daft old codger '''than''' I am, gave an {{p|Arbok}} the name Sevy...?"

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Colosseum===
* After {{tc|Rider}} Nelis is defeated in [[The Under Subway]] in [[Pokémon Colosseum]], her name is misspelled as "Nelia" if she's spoken to afterwards.
* After defeating {{tc|Cipher Peon}} Baila in the [[Snagem Hideout]] in Pokémon Colosseum, there is no colon separating her name from her defeat speech.

* When talking to [[Dr. Kaminko]] about [[Battle CD]]s, he'll say "I don't '''enjoying''' admitting them one bit, but they are quite well made."

==In the spin-off games==
===PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure===
* In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], the dialogue string "[...] not so far away are your Empoleon?", prior to thawing the door to {{p|Empoleon}}'s Snow Slide with the help of {{p|Mamoswine}}'s charge attack, presumably "your" should have been replaced with "you" instead.
* In {{p|Treecko}}'s description: ''"He works for {{p|Venusaur}} in the Meadow Zone. He blocked the '''bride''' to stop anyone playing, but really he loves the Attractions to be found there!"''. It should be "bridge" instead of "bride". This has been fixed in newer versions of the game.
* In the {{pmin|Germany|German}} version, when {{p|Munchlax}} thanks the player, ''"PokéPark"'' is misspelled as ''"ParkPoké"'' in the dialogue string.

===Pokémon Trading Card Game series===

** This was fixed in the two multilingual European versions. They both include the option to play in English, which includes "Ninetales" written correctly.

===Pokémon Play It! series===
[[File:Play It 2 certificate.png|thumb|150px|"nemed"]]
* In [[Pokémon Play It!]] and [[Pokémon Play It! Version 2]], the Academy Entrance Exam quiz game has two certificates available to the player: one for 10 points and another for 20 points.
** In both games, the second certificate has "'''20points'''" written with no space even though the preceding certificate correctly includes a space in "10 points".
** In Play It! Version 2 only, the second certificate includes the typo "a trainer '''nemed''' hereon" instead of "a trainer named hereon".

===Pokémon Pinball series===
* In [[Pokémon Pinball]], [[Fuchsia City]] is misspelled as "'''Fuchia City'''".
* In [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]], the Spheal bonus stage is referred to as "Bonus '''Challange'''" instead of "Bonus Challenge" in both the Slots and the {{pin|Pokémon Mart}}.
** This misspelled English text was introduced in the Japanese version of this game, but was also retained in the American English version. It was fixed in the European version.
