There’s a new way to watch Pokemon anime episodes, and it doesn’t require a subscription. The official Pokemon website and Twitter account announced people can watch them on certain days on Twitch on December 8, 2020, the day the first collection of episodes debuted.
Surprisingly, the streams are picking up in the middle of the show. Things kicked off this past Tuesday with Pokemon: Master Quest, the fifth season of the series. The first six episodes were shown that day, and episodes seven through twelve will be shown on December 10, 2020. The schedule shared says that stream will begin at 2pm PT/5pm ET/11pm CET.
Here’s the initial official schedule. If it follows this pattern, then people can look forward to six episodes every Tuesday and Thursday.
