Movies five, six, and seven would later be released on DVD simultaneously, but did not include their Pikachu shorts. Movies eight and nine were skipped without being either released nor dubbed in Danish and several years would pass before new movies made it to Denmark.

===Music===
Danish versions of Pokémon 2.B.A. Master and Pokémon 3: The Ultimate Soundtrack were released in Denmark under the titles Pokémon and Pokémon 3: Det Ultimative Soundtrack, respectively.
==Pokémon manga==
No Pokémon manga has been released in Denmark.
==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
In Denmark, the Pokémon Trading Card Game is distributed by Bergsala Enigma. The card text is not translated into Danish.
==Pokémon and grammar==
Since the games haven't been localized in Danish, the only official source of how to properly conjugate words from the Pokémon universe is the animated series. In the early days, it was inconsistent whether or not the singular definite of Pokémon was to be conjugated as Pokémoner or Pokémon, although later on, Pokémon became the standard. This goes for the names of the different Pokémon as well. The grammatical genders of both the word Pokémon and all the Pokémon are by default common.
 	Singular 	Singular 	Plural 	Plural
 	Indefinite	Definite 	Indefinate 	Definite
Nominative	Pokémon 	Pokémonen 	Pokémon / Pokémoner 	Pokémonerne
Gentitive 	Pokémons 	Pokémonens	Pokémons / Pokémoners	Pokémonernes
==Pokémon merchandise==
A Danish version of Pokémon Official Magazine is released monthly in Denmark under the title Pokémon Officielt Magasin, counting over 40 issues. It was first released February 5, 2007. The official abbreviation is POM.
==Community==
PokeTeam is a Danish website that finds Pokémon related news items and translate them into Danish. After the official Danish Pokémon forum closed, many fans have turned to PokeTeam. Since 2013 a new version of Poketeam has been under construction following the closing of the old site.
In 2009, like Germany, Italy, Sweden, and the Netherlands, Denmark held a Pokémon Day 2009. It was a small event which included a download of , a drawing contest, and a screening of the Danish dub of The Rise of Darkrai.
In 2015, a new Danish Pokémon community named PokeMania was launched. It is an interactive website with a forum. The layout of the website has similarities with the old version of PokeTeam. However, PokeMania does not focus on information about Pokémon as PokeTeam did. Though, it communicates about Pokémon news in Danish.
On the February 18th, 2017, a sponsored Pokémon GO event was held at Fisketorvet Copenhagen Mall where Lure Modules was added to the two PokéStops in the mall all day. Free Pikachu caps was given to the first 1,500 players who arrived, a contest where players could win goodiebags was held, and the mall made a stage where people could meet Eiqu Miller, YouTuber and rapper, who have made several Pokémon GO videos.
==Trivia==
* In the Danish versions of the opening themes prior to Unbeatable, all lyrics referencing the season titles are replaced.
* The continuity of the animated series dub is very inconsistent between seasons. In the first seasons (1-2 & 5-8), attack names, Pokémon types and Pokédex species are translated. (For example, is translated into ). However, in the later seasons, attack names are not translated. In the Black & White seasons, neither attack names nor Pokédex are translated. Other words such as badges and gyms have changed from Danish to English or simply just gotten a new word.
* Even though the games have never been translated into Danish, older fans often refer to the main series games of the first two generations with literal translation of their names, for instance, fans call Pokémon Red Version Pokémon Rød, Pokémon Yellow Version Pokémon Gul and Pokémon Gold Version Pokémon Guld.
* In Address Unown!, is called Ukendt, which is the Danish word for unknown. 
* In Challenge of the Samurai, is called Puppe, which is the Danish word for cocoon.
* The seasons The Johto Journeys and Johto League Champions, along with 53 Master Quest episodes (including the banned EP250), were never aired in Denmark. Charizard Chills was the last episode dubbed in Danish prior to Address Unown!.
