The [[Pokémon]] franchise (Hindi: '''पोकेमॉन''' (formerly '''पोकेमोन'''), Tamil: '''பொகெமொன்''', Telugu: '''పోకీమాన్''', Bengali: '''পোকেমন''', Urdu: '''پوکيمون''') made its debut in the '''{{wp|Indian subcontinent}}''' in 2003, with the broadcast of the [[EP001|first anime episode]] in both English and Hindi on {{wp|Cartoon Network (India)|Cartoon Network India}} and {{wp|Cartoon Network (Pakistan)|Cartoon Network Pakistan}}. [[#Cartoon Network and Pogo TV|CN India and its sister channels]] also dubbed the anime into Tamil and Telegu. | The [[Pokémon]] franchise (Hindi: '''पोकेमॉन''' (formerly '''पोकेमोन'''), Tamil: '''பொகெமொன்''', Telugu: '''పోకీమాన్''', Bengali: '''পোকেমন''', Urdu: '''پوکيمون''') made its debut in the '''{{wp|Indian subcontinent}}''' in 2003, with the broadcast of the [[EP001|first anime episode]] in both English and Hindi on {{wp|Cartoon Network (India)|Cartoon Network India}} and {{wp|Cartoon Network (Pakistan)|Cartoon Network Pakistan}}.

The Pokémon anime has undergone dubbing primarily into Hindi with the same dub being used for Urdu as both languages are phonetically indistinguishable, differing primarily in their written scripts. Additional dubbing has taken place in Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali. Furthermore, the English dub of the anime is also accessible. Since the local dubs of the anime were produced before the games were localized, they mainly use the English names for Pokémon. However, they inconsistently switch between the English names and direct translations for other Pokémon-related terminology, such as names of moves, abilities, and items. | The Pokémon anime has undergone dubbing primarily into Hindi with the same dub being used for Urdu as both languages are phonetically indistinguishable, differing primarily in their written scripts.
