According to ABEMA, the works shown remain free to watch for one week after their broadcast.
Five Pokémon short anime are also part of the programme
In addition to the films, ABEMA is showing five short anime series and short projects: "Paldean Winds", "Twilight Wings", "POKÉTOON", "Tadaima" and "Pokémon Video Encyclopedia". The selection thus ranges from older cinema productions to newer web anime formats.
Aninew.de has also recently published several Pokémon reports: a Pokémon GO collaboration episode of "Pokémon Horizons" was announced for 18 September. In addition, a new feature film, "Pokémon: Wildcard", is due in 2027, while "Pokémon Tales" launches on Disney+.
ABEMA already operates two of its own Pokémon anime channels, where, according to its own statement, it continuously shows the eight TV series as well as the 24 long feature films and further specials. For the Silver Week campaign, this bundles a selection of 24 productions over four days.
