The first [[Pokémon games]], {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, were released in Indonesia in limited numbers around 2000. The first truly well-known Pokémon game for Indonesia was {{game|Yellow}}, which was released in 2001.

All internationally released [[core series]] games usually have been available in Indonesia. [[Spin-off Pokémon games]] that are available in English language such as [[Pokémon Pinball]], the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, and the {{g|Mystery Dungeon series}}, have been released in Indonesia as well. These games were available within several months to one year after their English releases. Nowadays, Pokémon games such as {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} were also made available near the date of its worldwide release.
 
Many pirated copies of [[ROM hacks]], as well as official games, are also sold in Indonesia, especially the infamous games "Pokémon ChaosBlack" and "Pokémon Quartz", which at first were mistaken by people as official. Pirated copies of official games come in a variety of ways, such as the lack of license or the color difference of game cartridges.
