Please don’t, a free subscription with Pokémon was epic, you can add it to Nintendo Online if you want.

    PLEASE POKÉMON, you can make the app paid, just please don't delete it. This app was the only way for many kids to watch Pokémon episodes, not everyone can pay for subscriptions for 50 different sites to watch Pokémon.

    PLEASE. Would it be so hard to make the app paid?!

    I don't know the actual reason, but this is why I think they are shutting Pokémon TV down.

    Pokémon TV uses a service called Limelight Network, currently rebranded as Edgio. Limelight Network is a video hosting service, like YouTube, but is a paid service. Most likely it is becoming expensive for TPCi, so they are shutting down Pokémon TV as a cost cutting way.

    Most likely they want to make money which is why they intend use streaming services to their advantage.
