Pokémon bids farewell to Nintendo consoles, but a new free viewing option emerges for fans

In a blow to Pokémon fans, the beloved series was removed from Nintendo Switch consoles earlier this year. The Pokémon TV app, which offered several seasons of the Pokémon anime for free, was a cherished resource for enthusiasts.

One-stop shop for Pokémon anime

The app housed numerous seasons of the show, providing a convenient platform for fans to binge-watch their favorite episodes. However, the landscape has shifted, and now different series of the Pokémon anime are scattered across various sites and streaming services.

Fortunately, a new collaboration between Pokémon and WildBrain aims to consolidate 22 seasons of the Pokémon anime in one accessible location. This collaboration will offer over a thousand episodes spanning six regions, all following the adventures of the iconic protagonist Ash Ketchum.

Expanded accessibility but with a twist

These episodes will be available for free on platforms such as Samsung, LG, Roku, Tubi, and Pluto, albeit with ads. While Pokémon TV allowed users to select specific episodes and was ad-free, the new platform offers a broader range of episodes and seasons.

For adult fans seeking specific episodes, options like Netflix and Amazon Prime provide access to select seasons of the Pokémon anime. The complexity of licensing and the extensive history of the series have made it challenging to centralize the content in one location.

The future of Pokémon viewing

Given the circumstances, it is unlikely that Pokémon TV will return. Therefore, the collaboration with WildBrain presents the best alternative for fans looking to enjoy the Pokémon anime in a more consolidated manner.
