The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached '''{{wp|Portugal}}''' around 1999, when the {{pkmn|anime}} started to broadcast on SIC.

All Pokémon video games have been released in Portugal in English. However, the box features a sticker with a Portuguese translation that is glued over the information on various other languages (English, French, German, and Dutch) and instruction booklets in both English (in color) and a black-and-white copy translated into European Portuguese. Up until April 2009, games were not launched in Portugal in time. On April 3, 2009 Nintendo opened a branch in Portugal, and now all the games are launched in time. The first game events were held in 2010 with the first one being Michina Arceus. Like in the rest of Europe, {{game|Black and White|s}} was released on March 4, 2011.

The television station that started broadcasting the Pokémon anime in Portugal is '''SIC''', ''{{tt|Sociedade Independente de Comunicação|Independent Communication Company}}'', a station based in {{wp|Lisbon}} that was owned by a consortium led by Francisco Pinto Balsemão, and backed by Controljornal (now Impresa Jornais, a holding that contains Impresa's newspapers and magazines), Impala Editores, BPI and {{wp|Rede Globo|Rede Globo}}. It is the third terrestrial television station in Portugal, launched on October 6, 1992. It aired seasons 1-10 and ''[[Pokémon Chronicles]]'', and had several breaks in the process. The show aired in an irregular pattern, shifting from 6 A.M. to 10 A.M., but always in the same programing block, named '''LOL@SIC'''. Seasons 1-9 were dubbed in the '''Nacional Filmes''' studio, in Lisbon.  

In Fall 2010, the rights to the series were purchased by another Portuguese channel, '''Panda Biggs'''. Production of the dub was moved into the '''Cinemágica''' studio in Porto, which led to replacement of the entire voice cast. TPCi took over the control of the series, adding a Portuguese subtitle below most of the season titles' English names', retaining the episode titles written in European Portuguese introduced in the ''Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl'' season, editing the ending credits with information from the Portuguese dub staff and replacing the "To be continued..." message with a translated one. It became known that the series' translator would be '''Sérgio Figueiredo'''.

'''Panda Biggs''' aired the 10th season from September 20, 2010 to October 25, 2010, airing two episodes each day of the week and repeating the 10 episodes shown on workweek in the weekend. Notably, this version had fixed some audio errors in the dub, along with replacing select lines from the original dub with ones of the new actors, which were presumed by the fans to be tests for the new voice cast. Midway through the airing of the 10th season, the channel started a promotion campaign of their new ownership of the series, conducting a contest in which 70 winners would win two tickets to a first-hand premiere of [[DP053]] and [[DP054]] in cinemas. There were two premieres: one in Lisbon (40 winners) and one in Porto (30 winners). Both premieres were held on October 23, 2010, with the winners notified two days earlier.

The ''[[S11|Pokémon Dimensão Combate]]'' dub premiered officially on October 26, 2010. Unlike the previous season, '''Panda Biggs''' broadcast 1 new episode each day of the workweek. The airing of the season ended on January 5, 2011 and the channel aired reruns twice until the end of May.

Movies 1-4 were dubbed in '''Matinha''', a studio known for dubbing Disney and DreamWorks movies, with nearly the same voice actors from the anime.

The dub of ''[[M10|A Ascensão do Darkrai]]'' aired on 25 December 2010 in the channel, as part of the Christmas campaign. It was produced in the '''Cinemágica''' studio (Who dubbed the series from 11th season onward and all the subsequent movies) and the movie was the first to have its ending songs dubbed into European Portuguese.

''[[M18|Hoopa e o Duelo Lendário]]'' premiered on June 1, 2016 on [[Netflix]], and on December 25, 2016 on BIGGS.

A Portuguese version of the ''[[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]]'' soundtrack was released, titled ''{{tt|Pokémon: Vamos Apanhá-Los!|Pokémon Let's Catch Them!}}''. This soundtrack included a video of the English version of the [[Kanto Pokérap|Pokérap]] that could be played on computers. The [[Totally Pokémon]] soundtrack was also released, under the title ''Pokémon Total''.

Two other actresses to voice the character were '''Cristina Carvalhal''' ([[M03|3rd]] and [[M04|4th]] movies) and '''Sara Marques''' (in the [[M07|7th]] movie). With the production being moved to Porto in 2010, the VA was replaced again. '''Raquel Rosmaninho''' took over the role starting from the [[S11|11th]] season, being notably the first voice actress since Maria João Luís to give Ash Ketchum the voice in both episodes and the movies, all starting from the [[M10|10th]] one.

 

{{an|Brock}} was originally voiced by '''Peter Michael''', from [[EP005|his debut]] until [[EP083]]. He also gave him the role in the first and the second movies. '''Rui Quintas''' then dubbed the character from [[EP115]] until AG192 and in ''Pokémon Chronicles''. The role was given to '''Luís Barros''' in the [[S10|10th]] season. '''Vítor Emanuel''' voiced Brock in the 3rd and 4th movies, with an unknown VA filling the role in the infamous 7th movie dub. Starting from the 11th season and until his [[DP191|last main series appearance]], Brock was dubbed by '''Pedro Almendra''', who also voiced Brock in the DP movies.
