And this:

Pokemon's Anime Will be Postponed Indefinitely Due to the Pandemic

The statement from the official Pokemon anime Twitter account (translated from Japanese, thanks Google!):
<Notice from the program>
Received the "Emergency Situation Declaration" due to the spread of new coronavirus infection, In order to produce programs with due consideration to safety, We decided to temporarily suspend some production work. Along with this, "Pocket Monsters" will be rebroadcast from next week.





Thoughts?

Not surprised, but only finding out that this is the first one that I've seen on a hiatus since the whole pandemic started.

They should air reruns of every episode from the Indigo League season onward during the hiatus to show the kids of this generation what Pokemon was like back in our day when it began...until this crisis is over.
