All Pokémon games that have been released in the United States have also been released in New Zealand, with the exception of the [[Pokémon mini]]. The country of origin for each game tends to differ depending on retailer availability; some games are imported from the United States, but others are from the Australian release. The New Zealand release dates tend to be on or around the Australian release dates. An English language release of [[Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure]] was released in New Zealand, despite the title never being released in North America. | All Pokémon games that have been released in the United States have also been released in New Zealand, with the exception of the [[Pokémon mini]].

Games that are imported from the US are naturally inconsistent with New Zealand spelling rules. For example, spelling variations such as ''color'' and ''center'' are not changed to ''colour'' and ''centre'' for the New Zealand releases. Games sourced from Australia also have this problem, despite New Zealand English and Australian English being largely identical in terms of spelling rules. | Games that are imported from the US are naturally inconsistent with New Zealand spelling rules.
