The new dub season in the US will have 54 episodes, which mean Japan still has 16 episodes remaining (assuming no breaks).

So we've got plenty of time for Project Mew, a 3-4 part Ash VS Leon battle, and so on. If TPCi's press release is accurate, then we won't get a new series until February 2023.

Now we're really getting ultimate!

Why are we rushing then? This makes no sense...

Even if Goh leaves now that his arc will be as long as Ash's.....

The extra 4 month meltdown was worth it

 

[Remix2]

Potential war arc incoming?

 

[Pokegirl Fan~]

Ew. This is just like when a villain you hate keeps on coming back and just won't die in other anime lmao.

 

[Alolan Glaceon]

I did not expect that. This is a series that I don't like. It is a pity that instead of the chronological thread of Chloe, Gou and finally Ash, it would be perfect and sometimes something else, it mixes up a bit. Hope to see all of Ash's companions and use his best pokes from all generations, well I hope they will be good episodes

Maybe rest of JN can finally show us some Gen 8 Pokemon that we didnt see at all in those remaining 16 eps

If you think about it, it's not surprising.. We had a hiatus of almost two months in 2020, many breaks, more recently we had clip shows, production issues...

Wouldn't be surprised if they get around the late Paldea promotion with an Alexa-like guest in the later episodes

 

[Red and Blue]

There might not even be a SV anime.
Journeys could just add the Paldea region, characters, and Pokemon to the line up. If so, the series extending past release of the new games isn't really a problem

 

[Sonic Boom]

Misty’s so powerful that her prolonged absence in JN literally caused an extension to accommodate her. Respect.

Poor Diantha and Alain.

Maybe Volo shows up and takes Ash to Hisui

 

[Sham]

Well I guess that leaves more possibilities for more Serena, Cilan and Misty

 

[Blood Red]

If true, I guess this confirms the continuation of the JN format. Guess I should let go of whatever little hope I had for SV's anime...

 

[colomb]

Whatever comes next would likely have most of the same crew and the same production issues, so not sure what anybody would be getting their hopes up about.

It will be interesting to see what they do with the Scarlet and Violet anime because Journeys, while it did had some great episodes it was all over the place, too many filler episodes, and of course episodes that don't make any sense that relates to the story. I hope they go back to their roots, but I would like to see what Ash would do once he goes to the Paleda Region because in the game they give different routes to take and he will have to decide what to do, challenge the gyms like he did in the past or do some sort of treasure hunt. The possibilities are endless.

 

[AuraChannelerChris]

Sooo you're telling me that the extra time could've been used to sneak in a PWC loss or two for Ash on his Gary Stu-ish path to the Masters 8.

Geez, by the time the anime ever gets to SV, everyone would be done with it.

 

[MunchMunch]

Calling it now, we're going to get a Hisui arc lol jk

 

[Red and Blue]

Calling it now, we're going to get a Hisui arc lol jk

Might as well. If Journeys continues then we will see plenty of Sinnoh, lol

I’ll just be the one to say it: What was the point of making Leon’s battles half of the episode? From an outside perspective I just considered them running out of time. Not that I’m complaining about it but that was my original thinking process.
