Pokémon TV is a free video service provided by The Pokémon Company International that provides select episodes of the Pokémon anime to viewers. It was first accessible to users in November 2010. It can be viewed through the internet with a web browser or by downloading the free "Pokémon TV" app on the App Store for iOS (with Chromecast support) and tvOS (Apple TV 4th generation), on Google Play for Android (with Chromecast support), on the Amazon Appstore for the Amazon Fire TV, and on the Roku Channel Store for Roku devices.
Available content
Pokémon TV is available both in the official Pokémon website and as an app in a total of 13 languages: English (United States and United Kingdom), French, German, Italian, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Swedish.
As the service is operated by The Pokémon Company International, it is region-locked so that is not available in Asian countries where The Pokémon Company retains distribution rights. In particular, it is not available in Japan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, Nepal, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Brunei, Cambodia, North Korea, South Korea, Samoa, Singapore, Malaysia, India, Mongolia, Myanmar, Macau, Laos, the Philippines, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Papua New Guinea, Mainland China, and Taiwan.
Episodes on the service are divided into a number of channels, which contain a collection of episodes and are rotated regularly. Movies, special episodes, and selections of episodes are also made available in the service for a limited time.
Episodes
For the American English service, episodes from Pokémon the Series: The Beginning (seasons 1 and 2), Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire (seasons 6, 7 and 8), Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon (seasons 20, 21, and 22) and the first eight episodes of Pokémon Journeys: The Series are available. Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver (seasons 3, 4, and 5), Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire (season 9), Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl (seasons 10, 11, 12 and 13), Pokémon the Series: Black & White (seasons 14, 15 and 16) and Pokémon the Series: XY (seasons 17, 18, and 19) were previously available, but has since been rotated out.
Currently, episodes have been added monthly by season and rotated out by series, with the exception of Pokémon the Series: The Beginning. Prior to the February 2019 overhaul, the service made ten episodes available for each series, rotating every Friday to remove the earliest five episodes and add the next five.
The episodes below are excluded from rotations in the following languages:
- Danish: Seasons 3, 4, 5
- Finnish: Seasons 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
- Norwegian: Seasons 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
- Swedish: Seasons 2, 3, 4, 5
- Russian: Seasons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
The other language services otherwise have identical availability to the American English service with the exception of the currently airing season.
Movies
One Pokémon movie is normally made available for one or two weeks per month in release order. Pokémon 4Ever, Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias, Jirachi: Wish Maker, and Destiny Deoxys are not shown on the service due to their rights being owned by Miramax Films. Pokémon 4Ever was previously shown on the service, but has since been skipped in rotations.
The movies below are excluded from rotations in the following languages:
- Dutch: Movie 4
- Danish: Movies 1, 8, 9

- Norwegian: Movies 8, 9
