The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached '''{{wp|Canada}}''' in late 1998 with the release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] and airing of the {{pkmn|anime}} began at the same time. Canada is divided into English- and French-speaking regions (the latter consisting mostly of the province of {{wp|Quebec}}), with ''Pokémon'' being marketed accordingly. While the English adaptation of the franchise largely shares the same materials and translations as {{pmin|the United States}}, the {{wp|Quebec French}} adaptation of the franchise had a mix of its own French translations and the English translation during its early days (with a small amount of material from {{pmin|France}}), which was eventually phased out in favor of almost entirely importing [[Pokémon in France|European French]] material.

The last Pokémon movie to be released to Canadians in French on home video was ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. After this, [[VIZ Media]] took over distribution of the movies, and they have not included French language options on their home video releases. However, [[Netflix]] and Télétoon occasionally air the European French dubs of various Pokémon movies.

In 2019, the ''[[Detective Pikachu (movie)|Detective Pikachu]]'' movie was the first piece of Pokémon media to get a full dedicated Canadian French dub for Quebec since 2003, albeit using European French Pokémon names for consistency with the rest of the franchise.
