It’s unclear when exactly this Pokemon Journeys anime special will air outside of Japan. As it stands, Pokemon Master Journeys is airing on Netflix in the US, and it’s quite a ways behind the Japanese version of the show. Fans of the Pokemon anime will just have to stay tuned for more information on that front, but they shouldn’t expect to get to see the new episodes in time for Pokemon Legends: Arceus to launch on the Switch.
This is far from the first time that Brock has returned to the Pokemon anime series. Brock left Ash and Misty during the Orange Islands storyline, but later returned to explore the Johto region with his friends. He would then continue exploring the Pokemon world with Ash during the seasons of the show based on the Ruby & Sapphire and Diamond & Pearl games, though Misty didn’t return for those episodes.
Brock eventually left his friends again to become a Pokemon doctor, but has made sporadic appearances since, showing up in seasons of the Pokemon anime based on Pokemon Black & White as well as Pokemon Sun & Moon.
Brock’s return to the Pokemon anime series won’t be a permanent one, but it will be interesting to see what exactly he does in the four-part special once it airs in Japan later this month. In the meantime, Pokemon fans can look forward to the launch of Pokemon Legends: Arceus on the Nintendo Switch come Friday, January 28.
