Pokémon viewing on Netflix compared with the same half a year earlier

What this is

Pokémon viewing on Netflix compared with the same half a year earlier: hours fell 17.7% in the first half of 2024, rose 4.3% in the first half of 2025, and fell 15.2% in the first half of 2026.

How it’s built

1. Netflix's twice-yearly viewing reports were added up for all Pokémon titles and each half compared with the same half a year before.
2. Views fell in every comparison where both halves have a views figure, for example 18.2% in the first half of 2025.

What we assumed

• Same half against same half removes seasonality.The first half of each year has 15–18% more hours than the second, because new series parts arrive then, so comparing a first half with the following second half overstates any decline.

Sanity check

Hours in the first half of 2026 were 27.3% below the first half of 2023.
