Despite having changed dubbing studios several times, the Brazilian dub of the Pokémon anime has maintained a somewhat fairly consistent voice cast when it comes to the main characters. The voice actors who have worked on the Brazilian dub of the main cast of the main series include:

Júlio Chaves also voiced Diretor Carvalho, Professor Oak's cousin, in Sol e Lua.

Official translation and adaptation

In the games

No core series games have been localized to Brazilian Portuguese, but some side games have, namely Pokémon GO and Pokémon UNITE.

In the anime

The Brazilian dub of the anime has a lot of history in regards to the translation and adaptation of English nomenclature.

Early on, the translations used in the anime were very disorganized and seemingly weren't catalogued in any way, sometimes varying between or even in the very same episode. Major examples of this can be seen in the moves Swift and Double Team, both of which have been used in the anime since the original series and have a long list of adaptations used in the anime. Even Quick Attack, present in Pikachu's moveset since A Exibição do Choque Elétrico, has been referred to as names other than Ataque Rápido (the direct translation of its English name), such as Supervelocidade and Hipervelocidade ("Super Speed" and "Hyper Speed", respectively).

When Abilities came to be, things weren't any better: Swift Swim was somehow translated to Salamandra Aquática ("Aquatic Salamander") in its debut episode, and Blaze's name was mixed with Blaze Kick's when it debuted in Mais Uma Vez Cambaleando.

Between 2004 and 2008, the PokéPlus fansite reached out to Centauro (the studio behind the Brazilian dub back then) and became involved with official Pokémon media and products, offering consultancy and having an active part on the adaptation of English terms (not only of moves and Abilities, but also items and episode titles) into something the Brazilian audience could resonate with, as revealed in a tweet by prior site coordinator LeeGusta. Two moves have localized names used to this day that can be officially traced back to this fan intervention: Follow Me, known as Isca-viva; and, most popularly, Volt Tackle, known as Investida Trovão.

After this, a notable change regarding the way the Brazilian dub tackled translations could be seen starting around the middle point of the ninth season and really taking off in the tenth season. Localized names of moves that were commonly used in Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl became streamlined: for example, Swift was always Estrela Cadente, and Double Team was always Multiplicar. However, other moves, such as Iron Head and Whirlwind, and Abilities apparently didn't receive the same treatment, with even Blaze, a major driving force in Ash's Infernape's development, being referred to by four different names throughout the series, none of which matching the current one.

The most recent major change in regards to translation and adaptation of terms in the anime came during Pokémon the Series: Black & White. Starting in the sixteenth season, the glossary of moves and similars used in the anime was slowly replaced by the one used in the TCG.^{[citation needed]} With this, even staples in the Brazilian dub, such as Water Gun and Hydro Pump, had their names altered: Hydro Pump went from Hidro Bomba to Jato d'Água, which was the same name Water Gun was known as in previous series. Subsequently, it too had to change, becoming known in Brazil as Revólver d'Água.

Translation of names in the Brazilian dub

Humans

In early series, personal names were rarely translated. The biggest examples of characters whose names differ between English and Portuguese are Gary Oak and Samuel Oak, whom are known in Brazil as Gary Carvalho and Samuel Carvalho.

In Pokémon the Series: XY, characters began to have their names slightly adapted, probably to facilitate pronunciation and promote better understanding from the audience. For example, Clemont was known as Clément, Professor Sycamore was known as Professor Sicômoro, and Valerie was known as Valéria. For unknown reasons, Valerie retained her English name during XYZ.

It was with Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon that things really changed. Of all new main characters, only Kiawe retained his English name. Even side characters, like Oluolu and Tupp, had their names localized, but kept a similar structure and the same number of syllables.

Pokémon

Much like in Spanish, Pokémon retain their English names in both the Brazilian and Portuguese media.

Notably, some Pokémon have had their names translated throughout the course of the anime:

In Ash Pega um Pokémon, Pidgey is referred to as Pombo (literally "pigeon").
In O Santuário do Relicário, Relicanth is referred to as Relicário (literally "reliquary").

Fábio Lucindo, Ash's first voice actor, has stated in an interview that, in early stages of the dub, Pokémon used to have translated names.^{[citation needed]} The reason why it was scrapped is currently unknown.

Cities

Genders in the Brazilian dub

Unlike English, the Portuguese language has male and female variations for articles, adjectives, and nouns. Thus, it becomes a necessity to know the gender of a subject to use words that better suit it.

In early episodes of the anime, when gender wasn't even introduced in the games yet, Pokémon were usually gendered by whatever it was based on. Beedrill and Butterfree, for example, were constantly referred to as females in O Desafio do Samurai, as they are based on a bee and a butterfly, both of which are female nouns in Portuguese. The Butterfree in question was Ash's, confirmed male in a future episode and referred to as male prior to evolving.

While it is unknown when this truly started, the voice actor for Goh and previous voice director for Pokémon Jornadas: A Série, Renan Vidal, has confirmed that the studio behind the Brazilian dub receives a list containing the genders (male, female, or gender unknown) for every revelant Pokémon in a said episode directly from The Pokémon Company International.^[1] This piece of information was revealed shortly after the release of Um teste no paraíso! on Brazilian television.

The following has been confirmed through the Brazilian dub:

The gender of all of Ash's captures in this series prior to them being distributed in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
The gender of all of Goh's Pokémon.
That James's Morpeko is a female.
The first same-sex romantic relationship in the anime, as both the Frogadier and the Vanillite that star in the blue candy commercial in Apaixonados por azul! are referred to as females:

"Depois de percorrer um longo caminho, a Vanillite se apaixonou à primeira vista por uma Frogadier calma..."

In the manga

When Pokémon Adventures began to be localized into Brazilian Portuguese in 2014, The Pokémon Company International sent to the editor Bruno Zago a list with the translations of all moves that appeared in that chapter.^[2] While the team behind the localization didn't adapt anything from that list, they were responsible for the change that happened with the move Razor Leaf, as it became officially listed as Folha Navalha instead of Folha Gilete (which contains a brand name).

In the TCG

Drayton's quotes

Central Plaza

First encounter

"Well, that was painful to watch."

"If it isn't Carmine! And...Carmine's new mystery friend! Think I might've heard of you, though... Are you that new kid with the wild backstory?"

"C'mon, now. At least introduce me!"

"Beautiful intro. Thanks."

"What about Kieran? You friends with the guy?"

That's right!/Yeah, we're friends: "Ohoho, I see. That's great!"

"All right, <player>! How about I show you our clubroom?"

"You haven't joined any of the clubs we've got here, right? Take it from me—you'll have a way better time here if you join one. We'd love to have such an interesting new member! In fact, we better call dibs now. Come with me."

League Club Room

"Aaand here we are."

"...'Cause of Kieran? Nah, don't worry. He won't show up here anytime soon."

"Anyway, this is the of operations for the League Club! On behalf of the whole club: Glad you're here!"

What's this League Club?/What does the club do?: "Heh heh. Glad you asked!"

"We Blueberry Academy students have our own Pokémon battle ranking system: the BB League. Here in the League Club, we battle each other to train up so we can climb the ranks. We win, we lose, we have a good ol' rowdy time. Such is our humble club in a nutshell!"

"Yup. Though I guess we're having less of a good ol' rowdy time than usual lately."

"Too bad you didn't make the cut, Carmine."

"Heh heh. That's no lie."

"Whatcha think, <player>? Fun club, huh?"

Yes: "Oooh, I can feel the enthusiasm! That's what I'm talkin' about!"

No: "I have a feeling you're more into the idea than you're letting on!"

"Aaanyway, think that takes care of it. You're in—on a trial basis!"

"You heard me! Far as the Drayster's concerned, we're clubmates now! Trial-basis clubmates! So now you can use this clubroom freely, and do whatever with the stuff here. Check out the computer over there, too. It's super helpful. It lets you use your BP to support kids in other clubs. They'll return the favor in different ways."

"Here—give it a shot, and you'll see what I mean."

"Try sending that to Mitch in the baseball club. He can help you out with your throwing form."

"Oh, whoa—you did it. Not bad for your first time. That'll teach me to doubt your skills! Here, I've got a really nice present for you—from one charming catch to another!"

"You can have this too. Put it on, and you'll look just like the Drayster!"

"Anyway, feel free to computer it up any way you want! Like I said, we're trial-basis clubmates now. And that's not all! For a limited time, you can have as many of these snacks as you want!"

"All that explaining left me starving. Think I'm gonna head on over to the cafeteria. If you wanna officially join us, maybe we can have a cafeteria date to talk details!"

"Be seein' ya!"

Cafeteria

"Hey, <player>. No need to stand there. Grab a seat."

"Here's the Drayster take: The Academy Special's the best thing on the menu. It's all so soft, you can basically just gulp it down. Barely even need to chew."

Wow, that sounds tasty!: "Heh heh! You know what's up."

...Chew your food, Drayton: "Heh heh! You and my ma would get along."

"So listen—your Pokémon are pretty strong, yeah? With a team like that, you've got a shot at becoming the BB League Champion. Wouldn't that be wild? An exchange student just rolling up here and snatching the crown? I wanna see you join the BB League, <player>. You in?"

Sure, I'll—/I don't kno—: "Look who's decided to grace us with their presence."

"Nothing special. Just thought we could grab a bite. Where better to do that than the cafeteria?"

"I'll take that as a no. So I can't swing a lunch date with you, even if I've got your ol' pal with me?"

"You didn't hear that he/she was coming to study abroad here?"

"We're already tight, us two. In fact, I was just asking <player> to join the BB League!"

"Aw, c'mon. Do you all hate fun and friendship or something? You wanna exclude some who's taking our same classes and living in our same dorms? How's he/she not one of us?! And isn't this place supposed to be all about students having autonomy? I think we should vote on it. I'm a yes, obviously. How 'bout you, Lacey?"

"Two against two, huh. All right, then! What says the reigning BB League Champion, our mighty Kieran?"

"Heh. Guess we've got our answer."

"Sorry, <player>... Guess you'll be joining the BB League, huh? Well, let's look on the bright side! Maybe you and Kieran'll come out of this better friends! Don't worry, I'll be right behind you. Every step of the way. But now that the decision's been made, we better get you officially signed up. Meet me at the reception desk in the school's entrance area!"

Entrance

If spoken to

"There you are! This is where we can get you signed up for the BB League."

After speaking to the receptionist

"Oh, don't mind that! We Elite Four talked it over real quick. My friend here's good to join."

"Didn't expect you to ride up in shining armor and save the day."

"Heh heh. That's just peachy."

"Well, he's Mr. Big-Deal Mighty Champion, after all."

"Me? No way. This was all his/her idea! Right, <player>?"

Yes: "That's the spirit. Feeling the human urge to do great things, right?"

No: ""No...doubt about it!" Hear that, Carmine? He/She's hungry for action!"

"Great timing."

"You can start with whichever of us you want. Your call. Any time you want to battle one of us, you'll have to do a fun little trial we cooked up first. Sounds good, right? Catch you in the Terarium, bud!"

Polar Plaza

"Whoa, hold up! My friend here gets in free!"

"Just charge it to my account. That oughta take care of it, yeah?"

"Many thanks, my man."

"There's my Champ in the making! Thanks for coming. Let's hit the battle court real quick."

"Feast your eyes on the majesty of the Polar Plaza battle court! Nah, it's basically the exact same battle court as in the other plazas, just colder."

"I'm a cold-weather kinda guy. Not what you'd expect from a Dragon-type user, right? Anyhow, buddy, you came to do my Elite Trial, not listen to me ramble. So let's hop to it!"

"I call my Elite Trial Terarium-Only Battles! Your goal's to clobber three of your fellow League Clubbers in battle. Simple enough, right? But it's called Terarium-Only for a reason! You can only use Pokémon that meet two conditions. First, they gotta be Pokémon that were caught living wild in the Terarium! Second, YOU gotta be the one who caught 'em! Unless your whole party of Pokémon meets those conditions, no Elite Trial for you.

"I know, I'm asking a lot. But what fun would it be if you just dipped into your vault of beefy Pokémon and cheesed your way through? Your opponents are under the same conditions, so you can't be too mad about it."

"Whaddya say, bud? Ready for my Elite Trial?"

I'm ready!: "That's your cue, underlings! C'mon out!"

Explain again?:

Maybe later: Nothing.

"My trial's about skill, but it's chill. Take it at whatever pace you want. If you wanna dive right into battling your three clubmates, go nuts! Rather stroll around the Terarium catching Pokémon first? No problem! So go on, get out there and chill it up. Good luck! Everyone give it your best shot!"

When approached

"Ready to trial it up?"

Terarium

After defeating the first Elite Four member

"Yo, Champ in the making. That's one Elite Four member beat. Things are lookin' good for you!"

"You just might be the one we need to shake things up in the League Club. That's it from me. Good luck with the remaining Elite Three."

At Savannah Plaza, after defeating Crispin
After defeating Crispin

"Crispin's no pushover—he's just super straightforward. I think that's kinda part of his charm, y'know? We used to all chow down on Crispin's cooking after club activities let out. Those were the days. Guess he's been worrying about the way things are, too, in his own way."

Coastal Plaza

Canyon Plaza: "Yo yo, Champ in the making. So that's two Elite Four members down already, huh? You sure are crushing it. Amarys sure leaves an impression, huh? It's wild seeing her and Carmine talk. You'd never guess it, but they click in a weird way. It's pretty funny to watch. The thing about Amarys is, as rigid as she looks, she's got a sensitive streak a mile wide. Remember that about her, OK? Even if it's hard to tell from the outside."; "What's up, mighty Champion? Scoping out the competition?"; "Heh heh. Someone's good and riled up. Anyway! You got places to be, right? I better not keep you. See ya. Good luck with the remaining Elite Two."

"Here’s the Drayster take: I liked Kieran better when he had his hair down. He used to be this quiet little guy. Trembled like a leaf. Had all the spine of a Wimpod. He’d hide behind Carmine if you so much as breathed too loud. But I’ll tell you what… When it came to Pokemon battling, I never saw so much joy in anyone’s eyes as in his! But then, outta nowhere, he changed. Now he’s relentless-pushes himself, pushes everyone around him… Nothing good’s gonna come out of this. Someone’s gotta snap him out of it."

League Club Room

First interaction

Second interaction

"Yo, <player>! How goes the busy life of the League Club president? Nose to the grindstone?"

"President"?!/Wait—me?!: "Hang on, you didn't know? Yeah, the BB League Champ doubles as president. So that's officially you now. Them's the breaks!"

I didn't know!/No one told me!: "My bad! Yeah, that's the deal!"

"Don't worry about it, though! We all got your back. Even when I was on top of the game, I made it a point to not call myself Champion. The way the Elite Four of us could just trade off club prez duties...and I wouldn't have to do 'em all myself! Anyway, I'll take responsibility if anything gets hairy, so don't worry. Dive in and prez it up, prez!"

Third interaction

"Yo yo, bud. Got an update regarding the "you being League Club president" thing. And I quote: "Foisting all those responsibilities onto <player>—that's just not right!""

"Yeah, Lacey really raked me over the coals for that—and for my general slack-offery. And so...guess we're now all stuck splitting League Club president duties again."

Give it your all!: "With all due respect, <player>, the Drayter's trying to give way less than that!"

Congrats, co-prez!: "Whoof! Didn't take you for the facetious type, bud!"

"I'm really not excited about having more work... Feel free to come take some off my plate if you ever feel like helping. Seriously. Any time. Help."

"Come to think of it, part of a club president's job is supporting the other members, right? Guess I can do that much! Supportive mode, activate! Let's trade Pokémon...supportively!"

Yes: "That's what I like to hear. I'm putting up Duraludon, obviously! What'll you trade me?"

No: "Aw, c'mon, don't be like that! We gotta work together here!"

If the trade is accepted

"So you're down to trade your <Pokémon> for my Duraludon, bud?"

"<Pokémon>'s a great choice. That's a Champion's Pokémon for sure! Don't worry. I may slack on a lot of stuff, but I'll take good care of your <Pokémon>."

If spoken to, after the trade is denied

"Oooh, you feeling that team spirit now? Let's trade it up, then!"

Yes: "That's what I like to hear. I'm putting up Duraludon, obviously! What'll you trade me?"

No: "Aw, c'mon, don't be like that! We gotta work together here!"

If spoken to, after any interaction

"Hey, bud. You up for a battle?"

Yes (if the player has more than one Pokémon on their party): "Nice. Let's stroll on over to the battle court, then."

Yes (if the player has only one Pokémon on their party): "Uh, hang on, bud! We're going for a Double Battle. Better bring at least one more Pokémon!"

No: "Fair enough! You can't go giving 100 percent all the time. Gotta know when to hit the breaks."

After a rematch

If the player is defeated: "Heh heh! Don't mind me, just scooping up a W over here. I get if you're upset, but don't go full Kieran on me, OK?"

If Drayton is defeated for the first time: "Man, facing off against you is ridiculous. So much fun!"

"I've got something for you bud. A little token of my everlasting gratitude. Here—don't mind the dust! I really oughta clean my closet."

"Now we can be twinsies! Heh heh."

If Drayton is defeated on subsequent rematches: "There you go again getting even better. Guess I should've expected that, huh, bud?"

"Y'know, I think I've come to rely on our battles as a way to de-stress!"

If spoken to again, after a rematch

"I'm really not made for learning in classrooms. I've gotten held back...three times, I think? But I get to savor the sweet school life longer than everyone else. It's a pretty good deal."

"Man, I love chairs. Don't you love chairs? What lifesavers. I don't get why everyone doesn't just sit all the time. Standing up's tiring work!"

"You probably think this is a skirt I've got on, huh? Heh heh! Not quite! I just tied my cape around my waist."

"Your <Pokémon> and I are getting along great! You can rest easy—I'm giving it all the care one of my buds deserves."

"That Duraludon I traded you loves being sparkly clean. Give it a good polishing now and then, would ya?"

Entrance

In battle

Upon sending his last Pokémon: "That one stung real good, bud! The way it oughta in sting in an all-out battle!"

Upon Terastallizing his Archaludon: "Now watch this dragon's blood boil! Show 'em who's in control!"

Upon having his Terastallized Archaludon use Draco Meteor: "Can't have that blood all boiled up for nothin'. Get ready for an onslaught—this won't be pretty!"

Upon being defeated: "Heh heh. That's the way, bud."
