The Pokémon franchise first reached Israel in early 2000, with the first broadcast of אש בוחר את הפוקימון שלו on the Israeli Children Channel.

While all characters, Pokémon, and locations have kept their English names in the Hebrew dub, some objects, moves, and abilities in the franchise received Hebrew-sounding names.

The word Pokémon is written as פוקימון in Hebrew alphabet. In Hebrew, unlike English, a plural form, פוקימונים (Pokémonim) is often used. A female form, פוקימונית (Pokémonit) has also been heard in the anime. Since there is no neutral grammatical gender in Hebrew, Pokémon are always referred to as either male or female, but mostly male.

Pokémon games

Since April 2019, Tor Gaming is the official distributor of Nintendo products in Israel.[1] Before that, there was no official Nintendo distributor in Israel and Nintendo games were rarely found in Israel. However, Some stores imported them from other European countries, and they were available around the European launch day, and sometimes earlier.
