Pokémon Coco delayed amid COVID-19 concerns.

Hey fellas: I have something that's ready to go out Friday; with more to come, but this needs a post based on what just happened.

This year's Pokémon movie, "Pokémon Coco" has been delayed from its planned July 10 release date in Japan due to concerns over spread of the novel coronavirus/COVID-19. The news was broken by the movie's official Twitter account as well as director Tetsuo Yajima (whose previous work on the series includes the XY series; the Origins miniseries and the 21st film). The film's plot centered around Ash and Pikachu crossing paths with a young man named Coco (who was orphaned as an infant) and a new Pokémon known as Zarude.  The film is now one of many productions to be impacted by the pandemic.

There is no current tentative release date at this time, but I will bring you any further information as it becomes available.  Update as of June 2020: According to both the movie's official accounts and CoroCoro Comics Magazine, Ticket Preorders will resume in August, with the movie itself now tentatively slated for this winter. That will be all for now.
