Two Pokemon Series Leaving Netflix Ahead of Horizons Release
In March 2024, Netflix is saying goodbye to two Pokémon series before the release of Pokémon Horizons Season 26. Pokémon Journeys and Pokémon Master Journeys, also known as seasons 23 and 24, are leaving the streaming platform. This means fans won't be able to watch these shows on Netflix starting March 5, 2024.
The decision has left many fans speculating about why Netflix is removing these series. Some think it's to make room for Pokémon Horizons, while others believe it's because the Pokémon Company shut down its free streaming app, Pokémon TV.
Despite the removal of these series, Netflix will still have other Pokémon shows available. Season 26, Pokémon Horizons, is set to premiere in March 2024. Additionally, Netflix plans to remove two more Pokémon titles in September 2024: Pokémon Ultimate Journeys and Pokémon: To Be A Pokémon Master.
Fans are excited about the future of the Pokémon franchise and wonder if it will find a new home on a different streaming service. They eagerly anticipate Pokémon Day on February 27, 2024, hoping for more announcements about the franchise's future.
