What this is
How much Pokémon viewing on Netflix comes from older series and how much from new ones: new arrivals (Horizons and Concierge) rose from almost nothing in 2023 to 24.2% of hours (46.0m of 189.8m) in the first half of 2026.
How it’s built
- Series on Netflix throughout and finished before 2023 (Journeys, Indigo League, XY, Sun & Moon, films and specials) count as older catalogue; Horizons and Concierge, released in English from December 2023, count as new.
- XY is also shown separately, because parts of it were added back in 2025.
What we assumed
- A small Japanese-audio listing in early 2023 counts as new.It is the first appearance of Horizons, before the English release, so it belongs with the new series.
Sanity check
Older catalogue hours fell from 260.7m in the first half of 2023 to 143.8m in the first half of 2026, while new arrivals added 46.0m.

- H1 2023: cat 260.7 (ex-XY 257.5) + new 0.2 = 260.9
- H2 2023: cat 217.7 (ex-XY 216.4) + new 4.1 = 221.8
- H1 2024: cat 179.8 (ex-XY 178.5) + new 34.8 = 214.6
- H2 2024: cat 156.5 (ex-XY 155.3) + new 30.6 = 187.1
- H1 2025: cat 176.8 (ex-XY 152.1) + new 47.1 = 223.9
- H2 2025: cat 165.5 (ex-XY 123.7) + new 28.0 = 193.5
- H1 2026: cat 143.8 (ex-XY 112.2) + new 46.0 = 189.8
