Pokémon in Greece: Difference between revisions

The '''[[Pokémon]]''' series first reached '''{{wp|Greece}}''' in 1999 with the debut of the [[Pokémon: Indigo League|anime]], followed by the release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]]. Many Pokémon media have since then appeared, including games, the anime, and several books, like [[Pokémon Adventures]]. The fanbase is composed of both old and new fans. Pokémon is written in Greek script as '''Πόκεμον''', with an official adapted logo having been used for TV and print commercials in the past.

Pokémon [[Pokémon games|video games]] are released on their European set release dates and distributed by Nortec, the official Nintendo representative in Greece. All Pokémon games released in Europe have been released, all of them in their English format. They generally include English and Greek translated manuals, and most recently bilingual packaging.

Local Pokémon {{pkmn|event}} distribution is arranged by Nortec, and handled by several retailers, historically {{wp|Jumbo S.A.|Jumbo}}, and more recently Public and Moustakas. Events as old as {{p|Mew}} for {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}} and as new as the Shiny Creation Trio for the [[Generation V]] games have been done. Distribution dates often deviate from their typical European counterparts, with some Summer 2011 events debuting earlier in Greece, and others being delayed numerous months.
