In recent times, the world of Japanese anime has become bigger and better than ever. Owing to the huge catalog of anime that exists now, anime can debate all day long about what the single best series is and why. Granted it’s a subjective field and series from different genres can be difficult to compare but a convincing case can be made for Pokémon. Undeniably, Pokémon is amongst the most popular anime titles. Previously in December, the franchise announced a new series Pokémon Horizons. Since the show’s fanbase is so widely scattered, anticipation is building around the globe for ways to stream the show. So will Pokémon Horizons be available on Netflix?

Over the years, we have witnessed how Netflix has become the one-stop destination for anime fans. Most of the anime, if not all, are available to stream on the streaming platform. Furthermore, the streaming has been a great source for Pokémon related content releasing various films and shows for the same. So naturally fans are wondering whether the new series will also be on Netflix. As of late, Pokémon Horizons has only been aired in Japan. Moreover, there is no confirmation from the franchise nor Netflix on whether the show will be available on the platform. Although there is a little hope.

The previous batches of Pokémon series have also made their way to Netflix months after premiering in Japan. Safe to assume that Netflix fans might be looking forward to some Pokémon content. Interestingly, Pokémon Horizons will mark a new journey as new protagonists Liko and Roy will make their way. Furthermore, a whole set of supporting characters alongside a new Pikachu trainer will also be a part of the show. Sadly, Captain Ash will no longer be returning to our screens in future episodes.
