Four [[#Website versions|full versions]] of the official Pokémon.com website are maintained, each focusing on a specific language, country, or region. Several other partial websites are also maintained. The current version of the website, introduced on January 27, 2014, saw a complete reorganization of website content and visual design, as well as seeing the prominent return of the ''"[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]"'' slogan. | ||
