Pokémon fans surprised by news of a major freebie

This year may have been hard on us, but we’ve just heard the best news ever.

Pokémon fans, prepare to have a massive smile creep onto your faces.

In the year of our lord 2024, Pokémon TV is back. Or it will be come 6 December.

Now, if we could just get another trailer for Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Having been discontinued earlier in the year, fans thought it was the last we’d see of this beloved Pokémon feature.

Yet here we are, glad to report that it’ll return via the magic of YouTube.

Better hope you have a premium subscription so you can avoid those pesky adverts.

As far as freebies go, this is, we think you’ll agree, a pretty major one.

In fact, it almost sounds too good to be true, which is why some fans are asking, “What’s the catch?”

There are also those who doubt the legitimacy of this news, as demonstrated by this post from ‪darkshadows275.bsky.social‬, “Is this actually true? Just asking because I really don’t want to get my hopes up if it’s not.”

This information comes from Serebii.net, so you can be assured that it’s true.

We can’t recall a time when the site wasn't bang on the money.

Serebii Update: Pokémon TV is to return as an official YouTube channel hosting full episodes starting December 6th 2024 Details @ www.serebii.net

It’s being called the “best news for this year”, and we can understand why.

As for what episodes will become available first, those details are less clear.

Some Pokémon fans are concerned it’ll only be full episodes of Sun and Moon, which, while not bad, would be somewhat disappointing.

Whatever episodes become available, it’ll likely be a “slow drip” process, as suggested by several fans.

But we can wait – we’ll always wait for Pokémon.

Gaming wise, there’s much to be hyped about there too, for a new Pokémon game is being dubbed the best we’ve seen in years.

Oh, happy days.

Keep the positive Pokémon news coming, Nintendo.
