Pokemon Tv is shutting down

To be honest I know I say this a lot but I HATE the cluttered releases of the Pokémon anime,I mean it would cost you a bit over 100 dollars to buy the entire Black and White era (not including movies) on dvd,for the nerds sake can we get a concrete release of at least all of Ash’s episodes,the path they are taking with the (mostly mid as expected) movies on physical media I’m fine with though.

Yeah, I heard in Japan with series like Hamtaro, you can just find the whole thing streaming on Hulu there. Meanwhile in the USA...

Series here are just spread across multiple platforms, heck even something like Star Trek is MOSTLY all on Paramount Plus, but now the new season of Prodigy is suddenly on Netflix instead? Same with the new Sandy Cheeks movie-for some reason that's hitting Netflix instead of Paramount Plus, and heck even some Spongebob content isn't on Paramount Plus either even though it's advertised as being the "Spongebob place." Ludicrous! (I do get that companies shop around to keep projects alive, but still)

TBH, with Pokemon I've even lost track of where it even is anymore beyond Netflix (I used to watch it on Xfinity, but it was always random episodes). There are DVD sets for pretty much all of the series and movies at this point but as the OP mentioned, those can incur major costs to "catch em all." To say nothing of the movies...

The messed up part is back when Pokémon was airing on Disney XD, they had literally all of the anime (well all of the English-dubbed episodes that weren't banned) available on the Disney XD app (and later the DisneyNOW app).

Granted the Disney XD app and the DisneyNOW app were TV Everyone apps, so you had to have a cable or satellite subscription and have the Disney channels as part of your channel package to access them but you could still do it.


Amazon has the entirety of the Johto era of the anime available on their Freevee service (which is that free and ad-supported streaming thing they got), all of Hoenn and X and Y are available on Freevee too.

Oh you already brought it up 💀
