Following on from the drama caused by the fourth episode of Pokémon: Twilight Wings for featuring the original generation Pokémon Dewgong, The Pokémon Company has now announced the fifth episode of the anime short series has been delayed.
The official Japanese Pokémon Twitter account revealed how it was scheduled to be released this month, but will now instead air on 5th June. The delay, as the headline suggests, is due to the coronavirus outbreak.
There's no mention if this will impact the release date of future episodes, but if we hear anything, we'll be sure to let you know. In the meantime, you can always rewatch the previous episodes over on the YouTube Pokémon channel. Each one is about 6 minutes, so it won't even take you half an hour to view them all.

Following the "drama". What drama? A tiny angry minority throwing a tantrum. I saw a lot more people who liked the episode. Lots of comments about the art style, Nessa's character, and the Chairman being kinda a dick.
The Dewgong thing was probably just a nitpick. Or even a spoiler, it might be in the planned DLC.
@heavyarms55 hell, more drama came from game freak apologizing for it than from dewgong being in it.
the dewgong could also be perfected explained as being a mon that a non-local trainer released there as well.
not like they ever apologized for there being different kinds of ride pokemon in the SM anime than in the SM games
Take you time Pokemon, no rush and be safe.
Wouldn’t call the dewgong-thing “drama”, it was a bit of an oversight, but no big deal overall, don’t even recall much outcry about it on reddit or anything.
Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill please...
Something in a cartoon versus the game is really a non-issue. It's not like there isn't precedence for stuff happening in the anime that doesn't happen in the game (cough cough Pikachu thundershocking Rhydon)
Even though I'm not a fan of the choices made for Sword and Shield, I think this series is excellent. The animation is wonderful and I don't think it matters that something in the show not being in the game is that big of a deal. The anime has had contradictions before like Pokemon evolving during battle rather then after battle in some cases.
