Pokemon Movies Released For Free on Official Website

The Pokemon anime first debuted way back in April 1997. In the 2 decades, it has been airing seasons upon seasons of content. The Pokemon franchise has also released over 23 feature-length films showing the adventures of Ash in the Pokemon world.

Recently, all Pokemon movies were uploaded on their official website in a free-to-watch format for audiences in the US and the UK.

UK’s audience gets more benefits from this as movies 4-7 are not available in the US.

The reason for this bias is actually pure business. Films 4-7 are licensed by Miramax, so it is harder to stream those videos in the US.

For Pokemon fans outside of the US and UK, the movies are available on Amazon Prime — just not for free!

About Pokemon

Pokemon, first released in 1996, is set up in a world where humans catch monsters and store them in pocket-sized poke-balls, thus the name Pocket Monsters or Pokemon.

They are creatures with an affinity to certain elements and some superhuman abilities related to that particular element.

Revolving around a teenage boy Ash Ketchum, it takes us through his journey to becoming the most accomplished Pokemon trainer the world has ever seen.
