Pokemon <3’s Hangul, Pearl and Diamond dated for Korea

By Spencer . January 28, 2008 . 5:37am

The first Korean-localized entry in the Pokemon RPG series (read not Dash or any other spin off) arrives on Valentine’s Day. This probably isn’t “news” because Pokemon Diamond and Pearl saturated most of the world, but starting on February 14 you should be able to collect Pokemon with three different character sets. Remember how weak English-named Pokemon were traded at a premium to Pokemon Trainers in Japan? Perhaps, a similar trend will happen in Korea. Gotta catch 'em in different languages too.

Update: I stand corrected, Pokemon Gold/Silver has an official Korean equivlent from Nintendo.

First localized entries? Gold and Silver (aka Eun and Geum) were also localized to Korean.

@Silversurfer - Ah! This was something I was unaware of. I never knew that got a proper localized release in Korea due to Nintendo’s smaller presence in the past, but you’re right.
