posted on by Alex Mateo
The staff of the Pokémon Journeys: The Series anime revealed on Friday that Pokémon Ongaku Club will perform the new ending theme song "Patsugun Type." The song is designed to help viewers remember the type weakness/resistence matchups for the 18 different Pokémon types.
The song will be distributed on July 14.
Pokémon Ongaku Club also performed the anime's first two ending theme songs "Pokémon Shiritori (Pikachu → Mew Ver.)" and "Pokémon Shiritori (Mew → Zamazenta Ver.)."
Pokémon Journeys: The Series premiered on TV Tokyo and its affiliates in Japan in November 2019, two days after the Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield games shipped worldwide. The first 12 episodes of the anime debuted in the United States on Netflix in June 2020, and the service adds new episodes quarterly. The anime also premiered on the Canadian television channel Teletoon in May 2020.
Netflix confirmed in February that the new batch of episodes that it began streaming on March 5 would be the Pokémon Journey series' final episodes.
Netflix will premiere the 24th season of the Pokémon franchise's anime titled Pokémon: Master Journeys: The Series "as early as summer" in select markets, with more premieres coming to additional markets this year.
Pokémon Journeys: The Series had delayed airing new episodes in April 2020 due to the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19), but resumed airing new episodes last June. Pokémon: Twilight Wings (Hakumei no Tsubasa) also delayed its fifth episode from May to June 2020 due to the effects of COVID-19 on the show's production. Gekijōban Pocket Monster Koko, the 23rd anime film in the franchise, was delayed from its planned July 10 opening to December 25 due to the spread of COVID-19. The film will open in the West in 2021.
