Pokémon TV, the app and website that let you watch episodes from the long-running Pokémon anime for free, has been removed from app stores.
For years, Pokéfans have been able to follow the saga of Ash Ketchum – and beyond – without needing to subscribe to a streaming service. But now Pokémon TV is no longer able to be downloaded, and the service itself will go dark for good on 28th March.
The situation highlights the fact that if you do want to go watch the Pokémon series in order, you’ll need access to multiple streaming services and a couple of paid subscriptions.
An official guide to watching episodes of the Pokémon anime provided by Pokémon.com notes that different seasons of the long-running show are shared between Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. Here in the UK, you can also watch select seasons on Sky Kids and BBC iPlayer.
