On February 15, 2016, Pokémon the Series: XY and Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction were added to the service. However, one day later, the Pokémon the Series: Black & White episodes and movies were removed, as well as Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands.[8] Pokémon the Series: XY Kalos Quest was added on June 1, 2016 along with its corresponding movie, Hoopa and the Clash of Ages.

On April 1, 2022, the Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon episodes, I Choose You!, and The Power of Us were removed.[10]
On April 23, 2020, it was announced that upcoming seasons of the anime would premiere exclusively on Netflix in the United States.[11] This started with Pokémon Journeys: The Series, which debuted later that year on June 12, with episodes released in batches every quarter through March 5, 2021. The season was later released in batches in Asia beginning on November 21, 2020, released in batches in the Nordics beginning on January 1, 2021, and was added in its entirety outside of Asia on July 1, 2021.[12][13] Pokémon Master Journeys: The Series was added in the United States in batches from September 10, 2021 to May 26, 2022.

English audio/closed captioning are available for the Pokémon anime and movies in all countries except Japan. The availability of other languages differ per country or region. The following languages are available in at least one country or region: Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese.
Banned episodes and seasons
Since Netflix uses the English dub and dubs based on the English dub, EP035 and EP038 are not included. Even though the banned episode Beauty and the Beach was dubbed in English, the episode was excluded on Netflix. When Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands was still available on Netflix Holiday Hi-Jynx, Stage Fight!, and The Mandarin Island Miss Match were excluded too. This is not specific to Netflix as all these episodes are no longer mentioned on Pokemon.com and excluded from Pokémon TV and newer DVD releases.
SM064 is the latest in banned episodes as Ash dresses up as a Passimian, who happens to have a dark colored face and is a chimp. Due to perceived racial connotations, this episode from Sun and Moon - Ultra Adventures was never aired outside of Japan.
The seasons are based on the season broadcasts in the dub. For example, Pokémon: Indigo League was split up into two seasons. The Indigo League episodes had the 1998 commercial bumpers where Brock says "We'll be back after these messages," and then after the advertisement when he says "And now, back to our show." However, due to Netflix not having advertisements during streaming, these bumpers served no purpose. The bumpers have since been removed from Netflix.
Trivia
- The closed captioning misspells "Teach Pokémon to understand" in Pokémon Theme as "EACH POKÉMON TO UNDERSTAND" as does the closed captioning for other releases and the official lyrics.
- When the title cards are displayed for Indigo League, the text isn't repeated on the closed captioning.
- The Latin American captions for the title cards read "[narrator] Hoy presentamos: [episode title]" for season 1, unlike the English captioning.
- The Japanese version has the edited version of Holiday Hi-Jynx, like Prime Video but unlike Hulu.
- The Japanese version has English descriptions for all episodes including for never dubbed episodes like EP035 and the not yet dubbed episodes of Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon.
- The American Netflix often spelled "macarons" as "macaroons" in its closed captioning.
- The Japanese version of Netflix does not feature a next episode preview for episodes streamed after the episode nor does it feature a Japanese episode gag, such as the Poké Problem for Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon.
