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, 8, and 9), and Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl (season 10) and Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon (seasons 20, 21, and 22) are available. Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver (seasons 3, 4, and 5) was previously available, but has since been rotated out. Each season is divided into volumes of roughly 13 episodes, similarly to the digital home video releases.
Currently, episodes have been added monthly by season and rotated out by series upon adding the first season of the following series, with the exception of Pokémon the Series: The Beginning. Episodes from the currently airing Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon are added every Friday. 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, 7
- Norwegian: Seasons 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
- 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. Seasons 20 and 21 on the Brazilian Portuguese service and season 20 on the Latin American Spanish service are not available in full and instead only have ten episodes available at a time.
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
- Finnish: Movies 8, 9, 13
- Norwegian: Movies 8, 9
- Russian: Movie 4
