Pokemon Journeys: The Series Premiered on Tokyo TV in November 2019. This is two days after the Pokemon Sword and Shield games were shipped worldwide.
Netflix is streaming the series. They were streaming since March 5. Netflix will stream the 24th season of the Pokemon anime as early as the summer of this year.
Pokemon Journeys delayed their new episodes due to the Pandemic but resumed airing last June. Pokemon Journeys follows Ash and Goh as they travel through all eight regions of the world including Galar.
Finales from the earlier games appear sooner in the series. The series also breaks the typecast of the earlier shows. Memorable areas from the games are also included in the many episodes of the anime. Supporting characters are Professor Cerise and her granddaughter Chloe.
