Korean TCG

So, the TCG in Korean has been printed all the way to EX: Power Keepers? Didn't know that! Where can I find more information about older TCG sets in Korea (I'm mostly concerned on Hoenn era, as I want to know the names of characters used on cards, whether or not they're the same as those used in anime/manga)? I am NOT asking about DP era, I know the official website. I'm asking ONLY about pre-DP era cards in Korean! --Maxim 20:27, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

North/South

Since this article focuses on South Korea and has no mention of North Korea, the article should be renamed "Pokemon in South Korea" to avoid political bias. XVuvuzela2010X 18:06, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Sounds like a fine idea to me. *Imagines Kim Jong-il playing Pokémon...* Hehehe... Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 18:11, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
Do we... have any information regarding Pokémon in North Korea? If not, it would be an interesting research project for somebody... --P o L i 19:06, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
I do. Pokemon doesn't exist there. --Maxim 19:08, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Censorship section

It seem that everywhere I look, there is usualy something saying "banned in South Korea", yet there is no mention of any censorship in this article. XVuvuzela2010X 14:47, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

There is a small note about the banning of anime episodes, but it doesnt elaborate as to why they are banned. XVuvuzela2010X 14:48, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
I can't find a source finding it, but it is because they have Japanese culture references. I believe. --CoolPikachu! 21:21, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

A Note For Future Addition

I added the History section, which gives context to why it wasn't until relatively recently when Pokémon in South Korea reached parity with Japan and North America. Y'all are welcome to clean up the text and/or add other facts about it that I missed... but it should remain being about the ban on Japanese cultural imports which prevented Pokémon from gaining an official foothold in South Korea until relatively recently.

The next thing I want to do is possibly replace the "International Pokémon" logo with a "Pocket Monsters" logo used in South Korea. But I gotta upload a good one first... and then I gotta FIND one too. -- Nick15 21:17, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Most of them are due to cultural sensitivity. --Abcboy (talk) 00:52, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
