Pokémon in Latin America: Difference between revisions

All of the [[core series]] Pokémon games have been released in Latin American countries. Most games are available in English only, imported from {{pmin|the United States}}; however, {{game|Red and Blue|s}} were also available in Spanish, using the translation from {{pmin|Spain}}. The Spanish versions of Red and Blue were not available until 1999, months after the original release in English in October 1998, and were re-released on the [[Virtual Console]] alongside the English and [[Pokémon in Canada|French]] versions. No other Pokémon games were available in Spanish in Latin America until the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, which also use the Spanish translation from Spain. Despite the content of the games being almost identical to that of the releases from Spain, the Latin American Spanish versions of the games have their own country code in the serial numbers, LTN (instead of USA for English North America, or ESP for Spain, etc). As [[Pokémon X and Y]] feature multilingual support, the need for separate English and Spanish Game Cards from [[Generation VI]] onwards appears to have been eliminated, as players may choose their preferred language at the beginning of the game.
