Spider-Phoenix said:The issue with two-parters is that there's boruto airing before pokémon and personally I'm not a fan of the whole "we get a one-hour this time, then go pre-empty for a week to "pay" for Boruto's lost week we used to get when it was Pokémon and naruto.
I remember the days when the Pokemon anime would go on break for a week so that Naruto could air a one-hour special during certain weeks, and while it did annoy me a little bit when the anime would have to go on break, I always found it unfair that some fans would blame Naruto even though Pokemon had just as many instances of one-hour specials as Naruto did back then. But I still don't think that COVID-19 will hurt the Pokemon World Championship subplot too much. I still expect Satoshi versus Kibana to happen once the production staff gets back to work, and Satoshi versus Dande round two is inevitable either way.
