Pokemon Anime Series Set to Leave Netflix Soon

Bad news for Pokemon fans—several major Pokemon anime series are leaving Netflix soon. If you've been following Ash Ketchum's journey or enjoying the latest Pokemon adventures, you'll want to act fast. The popular streaming platform has listed expiration dates for these beloved shows, signaling that the time to catch up is now.

The Pokemon anime boasts over a thousand episodes

Most of which center on Ash Ketchum's quest to become the greatest Pokemon trainer. The latest series, Pokemon Journeys, made the surprising move to retire Ash and Pikachu as the lead characters. After achieving his goal of becoming the Pokemon World Champion, Ash realizes that his journey to becoming a "Pokemon Master" is far from over. If you haven't caught up on Ash’s final episodes, now might be the time to do so before they disappear.

Pokemon’s Expiration Dates

According to Netflix, several recent Pokemon anime series will leave the platform on September 7th. These include:

  • Pokemon Journeys: The Series
  • Pokemon Master Journeys: The Series
  • Pokemon Ultimate Journeys: The Series
  • Pokemon: To Be A Pokemon Master: Ultimate Journeys The Series

Fortunately, Pokemon Horizons does not appear to be leaving Netflix alongside these titles. Earlier this year, the service listed expiration dates for these series in March, only to later remove them. With many older Pokemon series scattered across various streaming platforms—and some not available in North America—fans are hoping for positive news regarding the availability of Journeys.

If you haven’t yet explored Pokemon Horizons, Netflix describes it as follows: "Two young adventurers on a thrilling quest visit new lands, unravel ancient mysteries, and encounter Pokémon — and Poké Balls — they've never seen before!"

As the expiration date for Pokemon anime on Netflix approaches, fans are urged to binge their favorite episodes before they disappear. With "Pokemon Journeys" and other series leaving soon, this may be your last chance to enjoy these iconic shows on the platform. Stay tuned for updates on where you can catch your favorite Pokemon adventures next.
