In collaboration with The Pokémon Company and prodco WildBrain, Pluto TV has launched the first-ever single-IP Pokémon FAST channel.
The new channel offers free streaming of select episodes from all 22 seasons of the original Pokémon animated series, which stars Ash Ketchum and his Pokémon sidekick, Pikachu. The channel’s programming includes seasons such as Pokémon: Indigo League, Pokemon: Adventures in the Orange Islands, Pokémon: Johto’s Journeys, Pokémon: Johto League Champions and Pokémon: Master Quest.
In addition to Pokémon, FAST channels Strawberry Shortcake & Friends and Go Go Gadget! have joined the Pluto TV offering. Strawberry Shortcake & Friends includes shows such as Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Ruby and Madeline, while Go Go Gadget! will feature Inspector Gadget, Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, Archie, Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario Brothers.
Pluto TV launches the new Pokémon channel after adding international and local news to its FAST service in September. Starting this month, the streamer is broadcasting four CBC channels, including CBC News Explore, CBC News Toronto, CBC News British Columbia and Radio-Canada Info.
The service curates a diverse lineup of channels, in partnership with over 400 international prodcos, offering a wide array of genres, languages and categories.
