Pokemon TV just got added to the Roku. It looks like there's about 50 episodes. The video quality seems to be SD, but it's free and I didn't see any commercials.

Here's the link to Pokemon TV in the Roku Channel Store:

I probably have all these episodes on tape, but this might be a good incentive to try to get my Roku set up to see how these look. (It's still in the box from when I bought it at Radio Shack a year or two ago.)

BTW, the new Pokemon season starts this Saturday, Feb. 7 on Cartoon Network, 8AM, EST.

Not free, obviously, but Netflix also has a ton of Pokemon.

Thanks for the heads up on the new season, Ash, I'll be watching with my daughter.

Didn't realize the new TV season, Sun and Moon, moved to Disney XD. They have the first two episodes streaming, otherwise I think it starts in January. The animation is very different.

Ash Ketchum

Yeah, I just found out myself--and I missed the latest Pokémon movie, which ran on Disney and not CN. How were we supposed to know?

fujishig

The movie was still available on demand (on DIRECTV at least) and streaming (once linked to your cable/satellite account). That's how I downloaded it for the kids.

Ash Ketchum

The newest Pokémon movie will be repeated today, Dec. 31, at 12 Noon (EST) on Disney XD, followed by the first two eps. of Pokémon Sun and Moon.

fujishig

Weird I did a search early this morning for sun and moon on DIRECTV and it didn't find anything, so I figured it wasn't going to be on yet.

Ash Ketchum

I watched the movie and the two episodes--three hours of Pokémon on the last day of the year. I enjoyed the movie and wish I'd seen it on the big screen.

The jury's still out on the Sun & Moon episodes. It's a got a whole new design style. Ash looks quite different and wears different clothes. It's set in the "Alola Islands," i.e. Hawaii. It plays like a prequel to the main series since he's traveling with his mother and he looks and acts younger.

fujishig

Yeah that's what I meant when I said the animation is very different, a lot softer and more fluid but definitely a bit jarring. Poor Serena was thrown aside just like Misty, it seems.

Ash Ketchum

I wish they'd do a spin-off series with her. I consider her the most interesting female character the franchise has ever had. Remember when she first cut her hair and changed her outfit?

Original Pokemon Episodes Now Available in HD

The classic first season of Pokemon the Series is now available for digital rent or purchase.

You can now rediscover the original exciting adventures of Ash, Pikachu, and friends with rental and purchase of the first season of Pokemon the Series on iTunes, Google Play, and Amazon. And for the first time ever, these episodes will be available digitally in HD. In these episodes, you'll get to see Ash's first journeys into the Kanto region, and how he met his best friend Pikachu.

Check out the entire first season of Pokemon the Series today on iTunes, Google Play, and Amazon.

Ash Ketchum

Also, Disney XD is running these episodes on their On Demand channel.

(I have the whole first season on DVD anyway, I bought the two volumes last year for $9.99 each. Which meant I could toss all those VHS tapes that I used to record the series when it ran on broadcast TV almost 20 years ago.)

New Pokémon Anime With New Dual Protagonists to Debut in April 2023

The Pokémon Company revealed a new Pokémon animated series on Friday. The series will follow completely new dual protagonists, who are named Liko and Roy in the Japanese version of the series.

The series will premiere in April 2023 in Japan, and The Pokémon Company stated in its English press release that the anime will premiere in 2023 "and beyond." The anime will feature Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly from the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet video games, and will also feature the Legendary Pokémon Rayquaza in its Shiny form.

The anime will debut after Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series.

The company also announced that it is producing a collection of 11 special episodes to conclude the Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series anime that will celebrate Ash's adventures spanning 25 seasons. The company stated the episodes will feature fan-favorite characters such as Misty and Brock and will "provide a glimpse into what the future holds ... in this final chapter for Ash and Pikachu."

The episodes will premiere in Japan on January 13, and the concluding anime in Japanese is titled Pocket Monster Mezase Pokémon Master (Aiming to be a Pokémon Master).

Pokémon Journeys: The Series premiered on TV Tokyo and its affiliates in Japan under the title Pocket Monster in November 2019, two days after the Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield games shipped worldwide. The series continues to air in Japan under that name.

The first 12 episodes of Pokémon Journeys: The Series debuted in the United States on Netflix in June 2020, and the service added new episodes quarterly. The anime also premiered on the Canadian television channel Teletoon in May 2020.

The localized title of the anime, Pokémon Journeys: The Series, has 48 episodes. Pokémon Master Journeys: The Series continued with Pocket Monster's 49th episode, which premiered in Japan in December 2020. Netflix began streaming Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series, the Pokémon anime's 25th season, on October 21.

Finally letting go of Ash is a huge milestone, here's hoping it maintains it's popularity (despite the new games seeming like duds).

Watch the Trailer for Pokémon Horizons: The Series

Get to know the protagonists of Pokémon’s new animated series.

Pokémon Horizons: The Series brings fans an exciting adventure with new characters set in the familiar, fun world of Pokémon. Both Liko and Roy possess mysterious objects—a pendant and a unique-looking Poké Ball, respectively—but in order to unravel their significance, Liko will need to take a courageous first step. Along the way, Liko and Roy meet Friede, Captain Pikachu, and Amethio. Watch the latest trailer to learn more about Liko and Roy’s journey through the Pokémon world.

It's weird to me that the English side is promoting the Japanese version with subs... did they do that with Journeys (I realize logistically they don't have the dub yet)? To my knowledge they have never really put out anything official without English voice acting, have they?

WTK

It does seem strange. Having an English dub is a matter of when.

Two key questions:
- Will Netflix be streaming this or something else?
- Will subtitled episodes be available (simulcast or not)?

fujishig

True, I just kind of assumed Netflix would pick this up dubbed but I guess we'll see. Still have to catch up anyway to see the end of Ash's journey.
