Just the other day, it was announced the long-running Pokemon anime would be finally making its way to Netflix today, March 1. However, we were told it would not be the full series, but rather just season one and the first season of the Black & White era. Many assumed that we would be getting the full run of Indigo League episode based on the description given in the press release, but sadly that is not the case.
The original description said “The very first season of Pokémon animation, Pokémon: Indigo League, will also be available to stream instantly.” This would include the first 80 episodes of the dub as it is considered the Indigo League part of Pokemon, but instead we have only gotten the first 52, which was the first season of the original airing of the show in the US. In fact, it retains the same order as the original airing, including the out of order airing of four episodes that conclude the first season on Netflix.
This means we only get to see Ash acquire six of his badges, so we must wait for a future update to see his epic battles against the Cinnabar and Viridian City gyms, as well as the Indigo League itself. This is incredibly disappointing for those of us who thought we’d get the full Indigo League experience, but hopefully more will come sooner rather than later.

May 6, 2014 at 9:38 PMSo I chatted with a Netflix instructor on the website and I reported he incompletion problem of season 1 and suggested to add the seasons between 1 and 14. They said they take suggestions as a whole before going into effect. So start chatting, calling, sending mail about these suggestions if we want them added to Netflix. I’m sure there are plenty of people who want these seasons on there just as much and me. So get to work guys we can do it (: Thanks.

December 6, 2014 at 10:55 PMIt does the same thing in Pokemon: Indigo League, The Complete Collection. It has three DVD cases and there are 3 DVDs in each case. But two or three episodes around obtaining the fifth and sixth badges are missing. And then it jumps from The Ultimate Test, (and maybe one episode after it) all the way to A Snowy Way Out and then Showdown at the Poke-Corral or something like that right after. The first DVD of the third case is where these two start out. Then it has six more episodes. Then there are the last two discs. I’m guessing the rest of the episodes and the last two discs are of the Pokemon League. I just noticed the issue early on so I figured I’d look it up and I found this as well. So if anyone can tell me why this is? I would greatly appreciate it.
