Pokémon Posts English Dub of Acclaimed Dragonite Short on YouTube

The YouTube release widens access to a standout short from Pokémon’s premium slate.

Overview

  • The English-language version, which went live Tuesday, streams free on Pokémon’s official YouTube channel.
  • The short runs about 14–15 minutes and follows Hana from the Paldea region on a simple mail errand that grows into a heartfelt journey.
  • The rollout fits Pokémon’s pattern of premiering polished, limited-run animations on its YouTube channel rather than only through TV or Netflix.
  • Reviewers praised the emotional storytelling and striking visuals, with coverage crediting CoMix Wave Films for the production.
  • The update revisits a February 2025 anniversary short that lacked an English track, though there is still no official Japanese version with English subtitles.
