The Pokémon anime has undergone dubbing into Hindi and 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.
