Pokémon’s January 2024 sunset announcement gave the dates; Pokémon Support’s sunset information confirms the closure and directs viewers to other ways to watch.
Where can you watch Pokémon episodes now?
Pokémon’s official guidance is to look to existing distribution platforms and its current animation information. Which episodes are available depends on the region and can change over time, so check the official Pokémon animation page and the platform’s own catalog before settling on a series or season.

Pokémon TV on YouTube
In a January 14, 2025 post, Pokémon described the Pokémon TV YouTube channel as offering on-demand episodes, including the complete first season, Pokémon: Indigo League. The post also said more Ash and Pikachu episodes would be added on recurring days. That is a dated description, not a guarantee that the same titles or schedule remain available now, or that every region receives the same catalog.
The post was published in German; it supports the reported substance of the channel offering, but does not establish the language or availability of every episode in every country. See Pokémon’s January 2025 announcement for its original details.

What about the reported December 2024 relaunch?
CBR’s December 5, 2024 article matching the headline reported that the YouTube channel relaunch would take effect December 6. Pokémon’s later January 2025 post describes the channel, but the official sources cited here do not independently confirm that specific relaunch date. Treat December 6 as CBR’s reported date, not an official Pokémon confirmation.
CBR also reported 467,000 active Pokémon TV users at the end of 2023. The official sources cited here do not corroborate that figure. CBR’s December 2024 report is the source for both claims.
