News Pokemon Leaving Netflix (USA)

[SammyW27]

I REALLY should've looked into this sooner, but a number of people will be interested in this.

On January 1st, almost all things Pokemon will be removed from Netflix, meaning the Indigo League, XY, and the first 2 XY Movies.

Now, we knew the XY stuff wouldn't stay very long (just as the BW content was only around for so long), but the kicker here is them removing the a big part of the Kanto Saga while keeping XY&Z...

I think the Disney XD rights to all 20 seasons is what is the driving force behind this, Netflix probably can't renew streaming rights. I'll be interested to see if Hulu continues to stream the DP series, as Disney has a 30% ownership stake in Hulu.

OH!

Okay then. That'll soften the blow.

Nevermind then (You may delete when ready, dear admins)

I think Hulu already dropped DP and just has Black/White now
