Pokémon Movies And TV Shows Coming To Netflix Services All Over The World

Too bad that the pokemon anime is pretty mediocre.

KILLER NEWS!

More to add to my "to watch" list for Netflix.

Eh. I love the Pokemon anime (at least the old episodes) but I already have 2/3rds of the Indigo League on DVD (I've been watching 3 episodes every Saturday, and I have several months worth left to watch at that rate). I'll probably watch the movies and the Black/White series at least. I wish they were including the Orange Islands, Johto, and/or the early movies.

Seems like Netflix is passing Hulu with it's Pokemon content. The only ones Hulu got so far is Pokemon Diamond & Pearl and Pokemon Origins.

"Diamond & Pearl" and "Origins" have also been on Hulu commercial free for a few weeks now.

I've been waiting for this announcement for so long. You bet I'll be tuning in! My childhood.

@TrueWiiMaster While I am excited to see the original series again, I agree about the early movies part. I already have the first three on VHS, but without a working VCR or an affordable route to getting the DVDs I'd love to see them on Netflix in at least somewhat-higher quality. Widescreen even, if possible.

My kids will be HAPPY!

I'll definitely be watching the Indigo League... But first I've been enjoying It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia too much to want to watch anything else.

I think we own all the movies but 1 - Mewto vs. Mew which seems impossible to find - and my kids have seen all the episodes on the website, but I sitll think they'll be excited for this news. We occasionally check Netflix for Pokemon content but always come up empty. One less mountain to climb.

I think it should be noted somewhere in the article that the Wii U eShop has had a bunch of Pokemon episodes for awhile now. Not very well advertised but they are on there. If Nitneod wanted people to watch them they probably should have given it their own "app" front end like "PokemonTV" on Android but that would be too easy I guess.

As long as the first season is there (apparently it is) then this is fantastic news.

I'm suddenly probably getting Netflix. Either on the TV itself or on Wii U I guess.

Ummmm, pretty sure Netflix isn't on 3DS

YES

@PvtOttobot "...but it is."

Hopefully they'll be in HD. Fingers crossed for a blu-ray release of the original Pokemon series with Japanese audio (assuming Viz or whomever still has the rights to physical distribution).

"All over the world"? Not that I'm aware!

... or is germany part of a shifted dimension now?

OMG

Definitely a great idea. I'll be watching.

OMG YES! I love that show! Although I hated the voice of Ash from the Daimond and Pearl seasons onward. He annoyed the poo out of me!

YAY!!! I hope they have give us all the seasons... Season 1-5 is probably the best ones.... more so the first 3.

Pokemon Advanced series please.

Greatest thing I read this morning.

@PvtOttobot exactly my thought. I'm in my work, in my lunch time I was going to my home to check it.

my son will loves this. he is a big fan of pokemon shows. the kids and i all watch pokemon X&Y series on YTV (Canada) every Saturday

@PvtOttobot

Netflix is on the 3DS. I am looking at the App on it right now

@PvtOttobot

Netflix has been on 3DS since 2011.

Sorry guys, but no Netflix in UK

I'm glad that it's finally coming to Netflix but is there any news of every other season coming? I would like to watch every season so far in order but having every season on Netflix is probably asking for too much.

Can't wait! I lost access to cable/ignored TV back when the BW series first showed up. Now I can finally watch it without searching the entire internet!

I'll watch it with my PS3. I'd use my WiiU but i like to defy the order of the universe.

Too bad it's not the first few seasons & movies, which I would have watched for nostalgia's sake. Good to hear for those interested, though.

I'm too caught up in Heroes currently, anyways.

I already have the movie on DVD.They should just add all the movies.There's still some of the movies I haven't seen.Black and White is okay,though.

@PvtOttobot It is on there. My kid watches it all the time on his 2DS.

Might watch the Indigo League for nostalgia's sake. The anime was pretty solid back then (I bet I'd still tear up when Ash releases Butterfree).

I love watching the Indigo and Orange Island reruns on Boomerang but can't beat marathoning on Netflix. Been doing that lately with Goosebumps and before with Power Rangers, now get to do it with Pokemon. Childhood nostalgia FTW.

@PvtOttobot Netflix is definitely on 3DS here in the US... I had it downloaded at one point and it was actually a pretty good app

Very good announcement. There was a dark time in my life where video games were not one of the most important things to me. I know. The horror. It was in that time this came on. I can now watch from the beginning as it was meant to be.

@mcusc5435 @TenEighty Did you not see my comment? "No Netflix in UK "

@PvtOttobot Your original comment, unless it has been edited doesn't state a region.

@Knuckles Hello, people!! If you would care to read THE WHOLE thread, you only have to scroll up a couple of comments to see:

Dennō Senshi Porygon!!!

Anybody else remember episode thirty eight of Pokemon Anime? Would be cool if they offered it, but not without a disclaimer of course, that is if it's not edited.

I love Netflix on my 3DS but audio is in mono, which ruins musicals and sound effects heavy Sci Fi. Still, it's nice to know I can catch up on the Pokemon craze from the beginnings.

Damn, would have loved to have seen Pokemon 2000 in HD...

Nintendo using the licensing muscle. Time to get Captain N, Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Zelda & F-Zero on there.

awesome! i've never seen indigo league before.

@PvtOttobot "oooo. that sucks."

@WindWakerLink don't worry, its on Wii U and seeing as I can only use Netflix at my house (=Wi-Fi), then I might as well use my Wii U

Why aren't Netflix's services not officially available where I am right now? Groan

I wish a Netflix app would be made available for EU 3DSs. Be so useful to watch shows on work breaks.

@ShanaUnite -.-

@PrincessSugoi hey your message really hits home. I'm curious how you feel about other 90's culture. I was born in 1987 how about you. [email protected] is my address. Think it would be fun to hear about your other nineties experiences
