Long gone are the days of waiting for Pokemon to be on TV. Now you can watch it from pretty much anywhere, including your Nintendo Switch. All you need to do is download Pokemon TV for free.

What's Good About Pokemon TV?

Pokemon TV on Nintendo Switch

Maybe the Nintendo Switch doesn't have Netflix, Disney+, or any other streaming service, but it does have Pokemon TV.

Pokemon TV is, as you can imagine, Pokemon's own streaming service. You can watch anything from the original series to some of the most recent episodes. Unfortunately, not every season is available, but there are still many episodes for you to catch up on. What's more, you can also watch movies, specials, and even world championships from past years to learn how to play Pokemon competitively. There's even a Pokemon Kids TV section for the youngest ones in the family.

The best part? It's all for free. You don't have to pay or even enter your credit card information. You don't even need a subscription to Nintendo Switch online to use it. It's all available on your mobile device or your Nintendo Switch. If you're a Pokemon fan, this is probably the best streaming service for you.
