Was confirmed by the main director on twitter (wappa_sui) at Oct 1st.
This explains the recaps, episode gaps and fillers that we've had in recent weeks and no mentions about Gen 9 anime.
Always been a thing where the new anime episodes airs during the same week of the game release. Guess it wont happen this gen. Cant just blame it on staff shortages, we got a pandemic going past few years that no one really prepared for.
Also I'm assuming gen 9 anime wouldnt start with Ash as the main lead. Anipoke might have a new protag for the first time ever. But revealing that would also kinda prove that Ash will win against Leon in the finals so I guess they are keeping quiet atleast till that battle ends.
