As none of the [[Generation I|first generation]] or [[Generation III|third generation]] were released in South Korea, it wasn't until April 24, 2002 when {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were released in South Korean stores. Unlike previous localizations of Pokémon Gold and Silver, these versions are not playable on the original [[Game Boy]] at all, and display an incompatibility message if inserted into an original Game Boy, like [[Pokémon Crystal]]. <ref>[http://mgaver.tistory.com/122 Hangeru Team (Korean Pokémon blog)]</ref> For unknown reasons Pokémon Crystal was never released in the Korean language, although it may be of that the Game Boy Color's lifespan overseas had almost finished. | |||
Since February 2008, all of the [[Generation IV|fourth generation]] main series games have been released in South Korea. Several of the [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off]] Pokémon games have been released in South Korea as well. | |||
With some exceptions such as {{p|Pikachu}} and the legendary Pokémon, most of the Pokémon species names are completely localized into the Korean language; especially in later generations, these often skew closer to the original Japanese names than translated names in other languages. For more information on these translated names, see [[list of Korean Pokémon names]]. | With some exceptions such as {{p|Pikachu}} and the legendary Pokémon, most of the Pokémon species names are completely localized into the Korean language; especially in later generations, these often skew closer to the original Japanese names than translated names in other languages.
