The Pokémon (神奇寶貝 (Taiwan), 寵物小精靈 (Hong Kong and Macao), 精灵宝可梦 (Current mainland name) 口袋妖怪*) franchise first reached China in 1998, with the first airing of Pikachu, I Choose You! on the Seoul Broadcasting System. Since none of the first generation Pokémon games were released in South Korea, it wasn't until the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver that Pokémon games were released in South Korean stores.

Currently, none of the Pokémon games have been translated. Many bootlegs of the series are sold into the mainland. Currently, Taiwan receives the Japanese versions of the video games.
