Nintendo Switch has just received a new app, Pokémon TV, containing hundreds of episodes of the Pokémon animated series, along with video game and trading card game competitions, and the available content will cycle out periodically to keep things fresh. There is also a
“Junior” category of Pokémon TV with things like sing-alongs and nursery rhymes (how cute). Nintendo of America has released a tiny video clip to advertise the launch:
