I've been keeping up with the Pokemon anime as it airs weekly since I first watched/caught up to all of it for 6 years now, and even though I'll miss it a ton during the hiatus they made the right call - the health and safety of the staff is most important! #ThankYouAnipoke

I do wish the best both for the Pokemon anime staff and the people at Tv Tokyo during the pandemic.

As much as I'm not happy about the hiatus and concerned over the long term affects it might have, it really can't be helped, and I just hope everyone comes out alright. #anipoke

It's sucks big time that the Pokémon Anime has been put on hiatus cus of this pandemic. I'm glad that the anime staff is staying safe though. Hope this whole crisis blows over soon so we can get back to normal living. Until then stay safe, friends 🤙🏽 #AniPoke

It so sad that Pokemon is on hiatus.But safety comes first.We'll get through this together.

The Pokemon anime is a comfort show for me, it was always nice knowing it'd just be there each week and while the hiatus is saddening, think back to when the series was off the air over 20 years ago because of the Porygon episode, but when it came back better then ever! #anipoke pic.twitter.com/tEGZls4oM2

One thing to remember is that we have over 1,000 episodes of this show to go back to anytime. Most of us haven't seen every single episode of Pokémon so let's use this hiatus as a chance to do some catching up! https://t.co/QCm249u4Kl
