Not the TV series. Every season streams in the US in its English dub only; no US service we checked offers Japanese audio for it. Netflix does offer Japanese audio with English subtitles for Pokémon Concierge and Mewtwo Strikes Back: Evolution.
What order should I watch Pokémon in?
New viewers can start with Pokémon Horizons Season 1 on Netflix: new leads, no history needed. For Ash Ketchum, the release order runs Indigo League (Season 1) through Journeys (Season 26), with each film fitting after the era it came out in. A short path is Indigo League, then XY to XYZ, then Sun & Moon.
