The first batch of 12 episodes of Pokémon Master Journeys: The Series will be available on Netflix in the United States from September 10, 2021, with more episodes following approximately every three months for the duration of the season.

This far, appearances from classic characters in Pokémon Journeys have been sadly few and far between, with the series arguably not living up to its full globe trotting potential. With the impending release of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl in November however, it was perhaps less a question of if we'd see a classic Generation IV character from Sinnoh return, but when they'd be appearing. That question was answered yesterday with the announcement that Dawn, Ash's companion throughout the Diamond & Pearl arc of the Pokémon anime, will be returning to the series for two special episodes. The episodes, which go to air in Japan later this month on July 23rd and 30th, feature a story showcasing the Lunar duo legendaries Cresselia and Darkrai.
