====Arcade games====
[[Pokémon Battrio]] (神奇寶貝 三隻組對戰) was launched in Taiwan in 2010, making it the only region outside of Japan to have released the arcade game. Many of the machines were found in department stores throughout Taiwan. Nine sets were released with the last being Rayquaza.
The merchandise ended in Taiwan on December 2012 due to lower-than-expected popularity, the end of the Taiwanese contractor's contract, and the earlier retirement of the machines in Japan. All Taiwanese versions of the arcade machine have been removed and it is still unknown whether the Taiwanese game chips are playable in Japan.
[[Pokémon Tretta]] (PokémonTRETTA) was launched in Taiwan on April 2016, while [[Pokémon Ga-Olé]] (寶可夢加傲樂) was launched in Taiwan on December 5, 2020. Both were distributed by SEGA Taiwan.

Four Traditional Chinese sets were released over the Sun & Moon era, with each set covering cards from multiple sets released in Japan in an effort to catch up with Japanese releases. In June 2020, Traditional Chinese releases entered the Sword & Shield era with the {{ATCG|Sword & Shield}} (劍&盾) expansion. The catch-up was considered done with the next expansion {{ATCG|Infinite Power}} (無極力量), which included cards from {{TCG|Legendary Heartbeat}} - the latest set in Japan at the time. Starting from {{TCG|Amazing Volt Tackle}}, The Pokémon Company switched to releasing Japanese sets in Traditional Chinese instead of sets exclusive to the language. New Traditional Chinese sets are now being released at a regular pace, with most sets released 2 weeks after the releases of corresponding Japanese sets.
