At first, [[Nintendo]]'s original Game Boy was popular in Russia, but Pokémon games were rarely found in shops. The only relatively popular Pokemon games were the ones for Game Boy Advance and [[Pokemon GO]]. The games were distributed by "Noviy Disc", Nintendo's official distributor between 2006 and 2011, and games would usually become available long after the European release and at a more substantial cost. This situation changed when Nintendo of Europe opened its office in Russia; they stopped working with "Noviy Disk" and began working with a new distributor named "OCS", and Nintendo opened their own online store. 3DS games were then available for sale on the official store '''[https://mir.nintendo.ru/ Mir Nintendo]''', though they may also be found elsewhere. {{g|X and Y}} were the first Pokémon games to be released in Russia at the same time as the rest of the world due to the introduction of the Nintendo online store. Pokémon video games are not localized in Russian; however, there have been a few fan translations of the GBA games circulating among Russian fans. | At first, [[Nintendo]]'s original Game Boy was popular in Russia, but Pokémon games were rarely found in shops.

==Soviet Fanatics== | |||
Soviet fanatics are uneducated people from Soviet Union who hate every non-Soviet cartoon and hate even Russian cartoons made after 1991. | |||
There are many blog articles and forum threads circulating on "how Pokemon is bad for the kid's psychics and how it makes the kid go aggressive" created by | |||
these Soviet people. (e.g "Battles look like dogfighting!", "Don't watch it! Because demons possess you into doing it!", "I spank my kid everytime he sees a non-soviet cartoon!!!", "Occultism!!!", "Aggresive and violent behavior modules!", "I let my kid watch only soviet cartoons!", etc") | |||
These were the people who filled complaints about cancelling Pokemon and freeing the kid's psyche to ORT. | |||
