The Pokémon franchise first reached Latin America on September 6th, 1999, with the first broadcast of Pokémon, ¡Yo te elijo! in Latin American Spanish on Cartoon Network Latinoamérica.
Pokémon video games
All of the main series Pokémon games have been released in Latin American countries, but only Pokémon Red and Blue Versions were available in the Spanish language. All subsequent Pokémon games have only been available as imported versions of the English-language North American releases. Most of the spin-off titles (such as Pokémon Snap and Pokémon Stadium) have been released in Latin America as well, but like the main series Pokémon games, they are only available as English-language imports.
The reason for the lack of Spanish-language games in Latin America is largely due to the rise of video game piracy in the late 1990s. Since the sales of pirated video games were becoming more and more common, Nintendo decided not to invest too much time and money in the marketing of their video games in Latin America. Nintendo does air commericals for the Pokémon video games in Latin America, although they are only Spanish dubbed versions of the commercials from the United States.
Pokémon anime
The Latin American dub of Pokémon airs or has aired in the following countries: Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Venezuela. The anime has aired on Cartoon Network Latinoamérica since its debut. In addition to Cartoon Network, which serves many different countries, the anime is also aired on one or more local channels in most regions of Latin America.
| Country | Channels aired |
|---|---|
| Argentina | Cartoon Network Latinoamérica |
| Chile | Chilevisión, Mega, Etc...TV, Cartoon Network Latinoamérica |
| Colombia | Caracol TV, Canal Capital, CityTV, Cartoon Network Latinoamérica |
| Ecuador | Gamavisión, Ecuavisa, Teleamazonas, Cartoon Network Latinoamérica |
| El Salvador | Canal 2, Cartoon Network Latinoamérica |
| Guatemala | Cartoon Network Latinoamérica |
| Mexico | Canal 5, Cartoon Network Latinoamérica |
| Panama | Cartoon Network Latinoamérica |
| Paraguay | Cartoon Network Latinoamérica |
| Peru | Panamericana Televisión, Frecuencia Latina, Cartoon Network Latinoamérica |
| Venezuela | Televen, Cartoon Network Latinoamérica |
Dubbing
The Latin American dub of the Pokémon anime is recorded and produced in Mexico. The series has been dubbed by three different companies. Originally, dubbing production was conducted by the company Audiomaster 3000 of Televisa, which dubbed the series from the first season until the first episodes of Pokémon: Advanced Challenge. Audiomaster 3000 went out of buisness in 2005, leaving the seventh season incomplete. Thus, the series was rushed to Candiani Studios, which dubbed the series until mid-2009. On September 26, 2009, AF The Dubbing House confirmed on their Twitter that they would be dubbing Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles, indicating that they are now the current dubbing company for the series.
The Latin American dub is based on the English dubs by 4Kids Entertainment and The Pokémon Company International, retaining all of their character names, Pokémon names, and any cuts or alterations present in the English dub. 4Kids entirely distributed their dub, but currently, TPCI only licenses the dub while Televix is responsible for distributing the series in the Latin American market.
Movies
Most of the movies were dubbed in Mexico, except for Jirachi: Wish Maker and Destiny Deoxys, which were dubbed in Argentina with an entirely different voice cast. The movies Mewtwo Strikes Back, The Power of One and Spell of the Unown were licensed and distributed by Warner Brothers. Celebi: Voice of the Forest, Pokémon Heroes (dubbed in Mexico), Jirachi Wish Maker and Destiny Deoxys (dubbed in Argentina) were licensed by The Walt Disney Company. From the eighth movie onward, VIZ Media has been responsible for licensing and distributing the Pokémon movies in Latin America.

Although Ramos currently resides in Argentina, he records Ash's voice at a recording studio called Sonar Studio and sends the recordings to the dubbing company over the internet.
