The Pokémon franchise first reached Canada in late 1998 with the release of Pokémon Red and Blue Versions and airing of the anime began at the same time.

Pokémon games

In English

All Pokémon games that have been released in the United States have also been released in Canada, with the exception of the Pokémon mini.
