The most recent Mandarin (Mainland China) dubs are recorded and produced by Beijing DynamicMedia Co., Ltd. ({{tt|北京迪美文化发展有限公司|Běijīng Díměiwénhuà Fāzhǎn Yǒuxiàngōngsī}}).<!--The first three season was also dubbed by 辽艺.--> The anime was aired on {{wp|CCTV-6}}.

All dubs of the anime are mainly based on the original Japanese version.  

In Hong Kong, most of the manga sold in Taiwan are also sold there, as Ching Win Publishing Group also owns the distribution rights of the manga in Hong Kong. However, the names are given some changes due to difference in the dialect and terminologies between the two regions, and is translated completely seperately by its Hong Kong subsidiary, Hong Kong Ching Win Publishing Co., Ltd., with {{tt|神奇寶貝|Pokémon}} changed to {{tt|寵物小精靈|Pokémon}} being one of the major changes. [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], and [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]] were all translated by Da Ran Culture (Hong Kong) (大然文化（香港）). As the company had become defunct since 2003, the sequels of Pokémon Pocket Monsters such as Pocket Monsters Ruby and Sapphire were taken over by Ching Win Publishing Group. However since 2018, Ching Win no longer distribute Pokémon manga in Hong Kong exclusively possibly due to the new translation issue. Rightman Publishing Ltd. (正文社出版有限公司) has since published [[Pokémon Horizon]], [[Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us: Zeraora's Story]] and Pokédex guidebooks using the new Chinese translation of Pokémon (精靈寶可夢).  

In mainland China, Pokémon Pocket Monsters and its sequel [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]] have also been translated. [[Ash & Pikachu]], [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]], and [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]] have also been translated as well. Pokémon Adventures was also previously translated by China Light Industry Press (轻工业出版社) under its Cantonese name before 2000. While the Cantonese term of Pokémon is used in that translation, all other names and terminologies were based on the Taiwanese translation. As Jilin took over in 2005, it was renamed to the Taiwanese translation for consistency. As of 2011, it was renamed to its current name.  

The Pokémon Trading Card Game (集換式卡牌遊戲) was made available in Taiwan and Hong Kong under the new unified translation (寶可夢) on October 2019 starting with the [[All Stars Collection (CTCG)|All Stars Collection]] (眾星雲集組合篇) expansion. Prior to this, English-language cards were available in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and mainland China with most of the cards, boosters, and theme decks nearly identical to the ones that were released internationally. Although the Trading Card Game exists in all three areas, only Taiwan and Hong Kong host [[Play! Pokémon]] events.

Currently, JFL Trading manages the TCG tournaments in Hong Kong, while MTG Mint Card and KKTCG handles the events in Taiwan.

Prior to 2019, only two sets of the Trading Card Game were officially printed in Chinese. The {{TCG ID|Jungle|Pikachu|60}} card from the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion was released in Chinese as part of the 2000 Pikachu World Collection. This was followed by {{tcg|Base Set}}, which was released by [[Wizards of the Coast]] in 2000 in Taiwan and Hong Kong using the [[Media:Pokémon logo Southeast Asia.png|red variant of the Pokémon logo]] with the title 集換式紙牌遊戲. Later in 2006, {{tcg|EX Legend Maker}} was later released by [[The Pokémon Company]] and distributed by Funbox Toys (麗櫻國際) in Taiwan under  the title 集換式卡片遊戲 to commemorate the {{OBP|PokéPark|theme park}} theme park.<ref>http://guangjoe.com/pokemon-cards-in-china/</ref>
