The Pokémon franchise first reached Arab world in late 2000, with the first broadcast of EP001 in Arabic language on MBC Channel.
The word Pokémon is written as بوكيمون in Arabic script. In Arabic, a plural form of Pokémon is بوكيمونات (Pokémonat), as used in Anime. Pokémon are always referred to as either male or female.
While all characters, Pokémon, and locations have kept their English names in the Arabic version, some objects in the franchise received Arabic names. The Poké Ball, for example, has been dubbed as كرة البوكي (Kurt Al-Poké), and the PokéFlute received the name مزمار البوكي (Mizmar Al-Poké) and so on.
