Thank you for your love for Pokémon.
We would like to inform you that Pokémon names are being unified across India to provide a more consistent experience to all fans. Starting September 25, 2025, Pokémon names in Hindi have been aligned with Tamil, Telugu and Bengali, based on Pokémon names in English.
As you may be aware, some of our services that offer Hindi language support, such as Pokémon GO, had adopted Hindi names for Pokémon from September 2023. The change in Pokémon names has already been implemented in the Pokédex on this website. Pokémon names on other services with Hindi language support, including Pokémon animation, Pokémon GO and Pokémon's social media accounts in India will be updated over the coming months.
We believe this change will enhance the experience for the entire Pokémon community in India, making it easier for new and long-time fans to connect with the brand and with each other.
We hope for your continued support as we grow and evolve in India.
Thank you.
