The Pokémon franchise first reached Norway in 2000, with the first broadcast of Pokémon - Jeg velger deg! in Norwegian. In Norway, Bergsala A/S owns the franchise.
Pokémon anime
The Pokémon anime is broadcasted on Disney XD (previously known as Fox Kids and then Jetix) and TV2 Junior in Norway. Most of the Johto seasons have been skipped, though, and were never shown on Norwegian television. Of particular note is the 9th season, Battle Frontier, which has never been shown on television, but was streamed online on TV2's streaming service TV2 Sumo the summer of 2009.
Cast and crew
The main character, Ash Ketchum, is dubbed by Nils-Martin Crawfurd (born August 19, 1983). Misty's role was given to Anine Kruse (born November 1, 1977), and Brock was originally voiced by Eirik Espolin Johnson. Even though he passed that role to Erik Skøld (who also voiced Gary Oak and Tracey Sketchit), Eirik continued to voice characters in the anime, such as Hank, Matt, Samuel, Scott (season 8), Spenser, and Robin.
Team Rocket's Jessie, James, and Meowth were voiced by Lena Meieran, Tore Barstad, and Tommy Karlsen (born June 9, 1975) respectively. Karlsen, who is most known for his role as the protagonist Proffen in the popular movie serial Pelle og Proffen, also had many other roles in the series, including Drake, Kai, Maron, Tommy, Raoul Contesta (from AG160 and up), and other minor roles. His performance as Meowth is heavily based on Nathan Price's interpretation of the role. Tore Barstad eventually passed the role of James to singer Ola Fjellvikaas (born September 3, 1970 in Trondheim), who later passed the role to Simen Sand in the beginning of season 8. Sand's interpretation of James is notably much more flamboyant than Fjellvikaas' rendering, taking inspiration from Eric Stuart's later work in the role. He also took over the roles of Professor Oak (who was originally dubbed by Bernhard Ramstad) and Harley.
In season 9, Professor Oak's role was moved to Trond Teigen, a veteran actor and one of the most prominent voice actors in the Norwegian Pokémon dub, most known for being the voice of the narrator from episode 2 and up. He is also the vocalist for several of the Norwegian opening themes, including the opening to the first season, Pokémon: Battle Frontier and Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension. Teigen voiced many other characters in the series, including Adam, Archie, Bill, Brandon, Butch Conway, Dee Dunstan, Drew, Fitzwilliam, Forrest, Hal, Isaiah, Jeremy, Jonathan, Joshua, Kerrigan, Nando, Nicholai, Professor Birch, Professor Proctor, Randy, Sebastian, Sigourney, Tate, Tucker, and Wallace.
May was voiced by Marit Berg, while her brother Max was voiced by Even Løken Bergan. Dawn's role is performed by Eline Høyer.
Other notable voice actors in the Norwegian dub include Siv Klynderud as Officer Jenny and Hanne Dancke Arnesen as Nurse Joy, with Katrine Blomstrand and Scott Maurstad providing the voices for other characters.
Music
In the year 2000, the soundtrack album Pokémon 2.B.A. Master was translated into Norwegian under the title Pokémon Du må fange dem alle!.
Pokémon Games
The games arrive in Norway at the same time as all other European countries. They are not localized to Norwegian, but are English.
Events
Local events do not occur often in Norway. Events are announced at the official Pokémon forums of Norway. The latest event, as of April 2010, was an event where players could receive Arceus as a Wonder Card at GameStop. This event occurred from March 5th to April 2, 2010.
Norway also receives the same Wi-Fi events as the rest of the PAL region.
The third generation received most of the same events as the rest of Europe. Events for the Game Boy Advance games were given out at the national championships for the TCG, but also on other occasions. Aura Mew was given out the first time in fall 2007, and at the TCG championships in 2008 and 2009. The top 10 most wanted was given out the first time in 2006, and the last time before it was sent back to Nintendo was in 2008. Norway also got Eon Ticket and Aurora Ticket.
At some national championships, Jirachi has also been given away unofficially from a GameCube bonus disc.
