Hey all! We wanted to let everyone know that the Pokemon GO section has officially been merged into the Pokemon Video Games section. You can find more information in this thread.
I don't watch the dub so I don't care how long it gets shafted but the Jpn version being delayed is so depressing.Thanks so much for jinxing it.
It's just common sense.This thread was oddly prophetic and it's sad that there really is a break now.
Thanks so much for jinxing it.
I meant that since most of your predictions end up being wrong, now I'm worried that you're also wrong this time and that you've jinxed this delay.
I'm not wrong all of the time.
Oh darn that's a good point.
Recording is one of the only thing that can't really be done from home, so it's not surprising production keeps going to some extent.
I am glad they are still be payed and can keep themselves busy with the things they love. I think we will need to think in an another way in the future about our behaviour and maybe change itApparently someone at Game Freak has covid-19, but the company is still working, albeit from home:

So much for the games being affected. Hopefully continual work on the games has no negative impact on the anime and hopefully this employee recovers. Coronavirus seriously needs to go away.
I'm just relieved that they're working from home and are taking measures to make sure their employees are safe. That's exactly what I was hoping for instead of them working on the games as per usual. The fact that they've been doing a lot of those safety measures since the end of January is also comforting. I'm sure that it's more difficult to work on game development at home instead of in their offices where they can go talk to different people and possibly have better equipment, but it is obviously for the best. I'm sure it's also good for them that the situation hasn't impacted their work since they're still able to get paid. Hopefully they're all able to stay safe and the employee who contacted the virus will make a full recovery too.Apparently someone at Game Freak has covid-19, but the company is still working, albeit from home:

The Red Ranger has the virus, so filming stopped. It's still on air for now though.
With the English dub slated for release on June 12th, I'd say production would probably continue at around that point, maybe earlier than that, but it's just a guess.
Yeah but they’ve stopped production in Japan it won’t be easy for them to started back up while the English dub just edits some scenes, music and voices.
Aren't they in Japan still at least doing stuff like story boarding and animating from their homes?
I doubt it this is a world wide pandemic after all
I really, really doubt it. It may seem like it's just "drawing" but professional animation is not the kind of job that can be done alone at home. Honestly even if it was, I doubt they'd chose to do that.
Not to be that guy, but I know from first hand experience that the anime industry isn't that foreign to the "working from home" style of production. Just last year Wit Studio was looking for animators online to do freelance animation for some AoT episodes, and that's just one of the many cases where I've seen an anime studio do something like this. I don't exactly know what is OLM's stance on this, but I'm pretty sure they've worked with some overseas animators as ADs in a couple episodes, so they might be prepared to keep production afloat to some capacity even if they can't work in person.
