The Pokémon anime first reached Denmark in January 2000, with the first broadcast of Pokémon - Jeg vælger dig!. In Denmark, Bergsala A/S owns the franchise.

Pokémon video games

Pokémon games sold in Denmark are in English, and are released at the same time as in the rest of Europe. The only game released in Danish is Pokémon Trading Card Game Online, but only the interface had been translated and the cards themselves remained in English.

Events

Event Pokémon distributed in Denmark include Movie 11 Shaymin in 2009 and Michina Arceus in 2010.

Pokémon anime

The Pokémon anime is broadcasted on Disney XD (previously known as Fox Kids and later Jetix) and some seasons and episode available on-demand on Netflix and Pokémon TV.

Who's That Pokémon? and the Pokérap were omitted in some airings of the first two seasons because of commercial issues, but appeared on the VHS releases.

EP105 was the last episode to air before a three season break on Danish television. The Pokémon anime would not return until EP263 leaving no explanation as to why the episodes in between where never aired. Therefore only the last 12 episodes of the Johto saga aired on Danish television. Much of the cast had been replaced, meaning that some recurring characters had gotten new voices, for example Misty, Professor Oak and Gary.

Skipping directly from Pokémon: Advanced Battle to Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl, Pokémon: Battle Frontier was not aired until after Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl.

The first three movies were released in theaters and later on home video, with their respective Pikachu shorts. Later on, the fourth was released on DVD and VHS, however, unlike with the previous movies, the Pikachu short was not dubbed in Danish. Movies five, six, and seven would later be released on DVD simultaneously, but did not include their Pikachu shorts. Movies eight and nine were skipped and several years would pass before new movies made it to Denmark.

The tenth and eleventh movies premiered on Jetix Scandinavia, February 14, 2009 and May 9, 2009, respectively. These were later made available on home video for a contest with 10 copies of each being given away. Movie twelve premiered on Disney XD the following year on June 26, 2010. of each. The thirteenth movie was released on DVD on August 16, 2011, followed by movie ten through twelve later that year. The fourteenth movie pair premiered on Disney XD August 18 (Black) and August 19 (White), 2012.

Cast and crew

The Danish version was originally dubbed by Dubberman AS, but as TV2 stopped airing Pokémon, the series was, like most other international dubs, dubbed by SDI Media. It is known that Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias was translated by Dorte Langberg, and that Jirachi: Wish Maker and Destiny Deoxys were translated by Thomas Maintz. Subtitles of voice actors and translators on Disney XD also reveal that Mathias Klenske translates Black & White himself.

Music

Danish versions of Pokémon 2.B.A. Master and Pokémon 3: The Ultimate Soundtrack were released in Denmark under the titles Pokémon and Pokémon 3: Det Ultimative Soundtrack, respectively.

Pokémon manga

No Pokémon manga has been released in Denmark.

Pokémon Trading Card Game

In Denmark, the Pokémon Trading Card Game is distributed by Bergsala Enigma. The card text is not translated into Danish.

Pokémon and grammar

Since the games haven't been localized in Danish, the only official source of how to properly conjugate words from the Pokémon universe is the anime. In the early days, it was inconsistent whether or not the singular definite of Pokémon was to be conjugated as Pokémoner or Pokémon, although later on, Pokémon became the standard. This goes for the names of the different Pokémon as well. The grammatical genders of both the word Pokémon and all the Pokémon are by default common.

Singular Plural
Indefinite Definite Indefinate Definite
Nominative Pokémon Pokémonen Pokémon / Pokémoner Pokémonerne
Gentitive Pokémons Pokémonens Pokémons / Pokémoners Pokémonernes

Pokémon merchandise

Cover artwork from an issue of the Pokémon Official Magazine

Community

Eiqu Miller at Pokémon GO event

PokeTeam is a Danish website that finds Pokémon related news items and translate them into Danish. After the official Danish Pokémon forum closed, many fans have turned to PokeTeam. Since 2013 a new version of Poketeam has been under construction following the closing of the old site.

In 2009, like Germany, Italy, Sweden, and the Netherlands, Denmark held a Pokémon Day 2009. It was a small event which included a download of Shaymin, a drawing contest, and a screening of the Danish dub of The Rise of Darkrai.

In 2015, a new Danish Pokémon community named PokeMania was launched. It is an interactive website with a forum. The layout of the website has similarities with the old version of PokeTeam. However, PokeMania does not focus on information about Pokémon as PokeTeam did. Though, it communicates about Pokémon news in Danish.

On the February 18th, 2017, a sponsored Pokémon GO event was held at Fisketorvet Copenhagen Mall where Lure Modules was added to the two PokéStops in the mall all day. Free Pikachu caps was given to the first 1,500 players who arrived, a contest where players could win goodiebags was held, and the mall made a stage where people could meet Eiqu Miller, YouTuber and rapper, who have made several Pokémon GO videos.

Trivia

  • In the Danish versions of the opening themes prior to Unbeatable, all lyrics referencing the season titles are replaced.
  • The continuity of the anime dub is very inconsistent between seasons. In the first seasons (1-2 & 5-8), attack names, Pokémon types and Pokédex species are translated. (For example, Water Gun is translated into Vandkannon). However, in the later seasons, attack names are not translated. In the Black & White seasons, neither attack names nor Pokédex are translated. Other words such as badges and gyms have changed from Danish to English or simply just gotten a new word.
  • Even though the games have never been translated into Danish, older fans often refer to the main series games of the first two generations with literal translation of their names, for instance, fans call Pokémon Red Version Pokémon Rød, Pokémon Yellow Version Pokémon Gul and Pokémon Gold Version Pokémon Guld.
  • In Address Unown! Unown is called Ukendt, which is the Danish word for unknown.
  • In Challenge of the Samurai Kakuna is called Puppe, which is the Danish word for cocoon.
  • The seasons The Johto Journeys, Johto League Champions along with 53 Master Quest episodes (including the banned EP250) were never aired in Denmark. Charizard Chills was the last episode dubbed in Danish prior to Address Unown!.
