Instead of releasing new episodes, Japanese television will air previous chapters while the effects of the pandemic last.
The COVID-19 crisis has had a severe impact on the entertainment world. While video game studios retreat to their homes and open up to telework, animation studios try to alleviate the effects of the pandemic, but their plans have been altered. After it was confirmed that the One Piece and Digimon Adventures anime had been suspended, it was the turn of Pokémon, which will replace the broadcasts of its new episodes with old chapters, as published by Anime News Network.
With over 1,100 episodes released since its premiere, back in the late 1990s, episode number 1110 was slated to air on April 26. However, given current circumstances, production has been unable to continue at the established pace. Japan is in a state of emergency and some economic activities have suffered the ravages of restrictions. Until the rhythm can be restored, viewers will have to settle for the reissue of the old adventures.

Ash, the main protagonist of the anime since 1997, continues his rise to the top. He crossed the regions of Kanto and traveled to all the places that have been appearing in the various installments of the Pokémon saga. At this stage, the young man tries to rise in the world ranking, hoping to access the World Championship in order to beat Lionel, current champion and one of the characters in Pokémon Sword and Shield, the latest installment in the series.
The Pokémon Company and Gamefreak presented the Galar region in Pokémon Sword and Shield, a work that will be expanded thanks to two new expansions, The Isle of Armor and The Snow of the Crown. The first will be commercialized in June 2020 … if the coronavirus does not alter the established roadmap.
