Pokémon Sword and Shield anime will continue broadcasting with the latest episode on June 7 in Japan

The latest Pokémon anime series is simply called Pocket Monsters, a direct reference to when the anime first began back in 1997. The setting takes place in all Pokémon regions to date, from Kanto to Galar. Ash and Pikachu have returned and are joined by a new trainer named Go and his partner Scorbunny. Since its premiere, the new series has been running new episodes on a weekly basis. Earlier this year, The Pokémon Company and TV Tokyo removed upcoming episodes from the schedule due to complications connected to COVID-19. However, production has officially resumed and the latest episode will air on June 7. Read on below to learn more:
