After a short hiatus, the Pokémon anime series is returning in Japan with brand-new episodes that are set to begin airing on June 7.
Pokémon Journeys: The Series was temporarily suspended in April after Japan declared a state of emergency due to the coronavirus pandemic. According to the Pokémon Anime official Twitter (via Nintendo Soup), the series is resuming production and broadcast now that Japan has ended its state of emergency and it is safe for the team to return to work. New episodes will begin airing on June 7 at 6 pm JST.
The anime will be picking up where it left off, so fans will soon be able to rejoin Ash on his adventure. Pokémon Journeys: The Series follows Ash and his new friend Goh, as well as their Pokémon Pikachu and Scorbunny, as they travel around the world. As always, Ash is focused on becoming a Pokémon Master, while Goh’s dream revolves around catching one of every Pokémon (including Mew).
Fans of the series will also soon be able to watch it on Netflix, as the first 12 episodes of the newest 23rd season will be available on the streaming service on June 12 in the USA.
