Since 1997, the Pokémon TV show (which some may consider an anime, although it may not seem that way) has been a popular choice for children’s Saturday morning entertainment. Many fans have nostalgic memories of watching the show, from VHS tapes of the early episodes to now streaming it freely on various platforms.
The Nintendo Switch now offers a new streaming app on its eShop. Contrary to popular demand for Netflix, the app is Pokémon TV, dedicated to streaming clips and full seasons of the Pokémon show. While Pokémon TV has been available as a web app since 2010, this is the first time it is accessible on a gaming platform for streaming purposes. The platform includes multiple seasons of the show for viewers to enjoy, along with animated specials like Pokémon: Twilight Wings and Pokémon Origins.

In addition to the show, the app offers content for fans of the Pokémon games, including footage from competitive Pokémon tournaments and trading card game tournaments. For families with young Pokémon enthusiasts, there are Pokémon-themed sing-alongs and nursery rhymes available on the app. The platform is completely free with no ads or fees, making it a safe and convenient option for children. However, the library of available episodes may change periodically, so viewers should catch their favorite episodes while they can.
