What this is
How the Pokémon anime is licensed for viewing: exclusivity for new work (Netflix premieres, Disney+'s 2027 Aardman series, the BBC's Horizons launch), while the back library sits on several services at once, with no fee disclosed for any deal.
How it’s built
- Each known deal sorted by whether it is exclusive and whether it covers new or old episodes: five exclusive deals for new content, six non-exclusive library placements.
What we assumed
- The deals found are representative.They come from company and press announcements; deals that were never announced are not counted.
Sanity check
The same early episodes are on both Netflix and Disney+ in the US, which only works if neither has the library exclusively.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.
Show the working
- Count exclusive new: 5
- Count library windows nonexclusive: 6
- Terms disclosed: 0
- Assembly of the licensing map rows by exclusivity, no arithmetic beyond counts
- No row discloses a fee, duration (except Netflix title windows per a tracker) or minimum guarantee
