If you’re itching for a Pokémon throwback experience since discovering the thrill of TCG Pocket, you’ll likely rejoice at the news that Pokémon TV is back in action.
Initially announced among the 12 months, the Pokémon Company disclosed that its anime-streaming platform, Pokémon TV, will be discontinuing operations. The move wasn’t particularly considerate towards anime enthusiasts, as it resulted in fans requiring access to a staggering eight separate streaming platforms to enjoy the entire series. While opinions on the anime are mixed, its unique blend of qualities makes it worth exploring, with certain aspects deserving greater exposure. Although there may be some excellent news, The Pokémon Company has recently reintroduced Pokémon TV as a YouTube channel, making a selection of episodes from its inaugural season readily available for viewing.
Currently, viewers can stream up to episode 14 of the inaugural season without any restrictions; however, the Indigo League playlist consists of a total of 25 episodes, indicating that there’s still more content to be enjoyed. “Welcome to the official Pokémon TV YouTube channel, the place you’ll be able to discover the world of Pokémon with Ash & Pikachu!” explains the channel’s about part. Discover some of the most memorable moments from their journey through our comprehensive collection of full episodes, live streams, curated compilations, and much more!
The entire collection is meticulously organized, with each episode chronologically timestamped at pivotal moments, providing a clear understanding of what to expect from the start. As we stand on the planet of Pokémon, reflecting on the passage of time, it’s striking that almost an entire year has elapsed since our last glimpse of a core series game. Pokémon Legends: Arceus is next in line for an update, with more details likely to emerge on Pokémon Day, February 27. Until then, it seems we’ll just have to keep opening packs in the Pokémon TCG Pocket.
