This is a national disaster for Japan and a very sad time but it will not really effect Pokémon.

I heard that everyone involved with pokemon was perfectly fine.

I have read some articles confirming that Satoshi is perfectly fine, and that he has survived the 'quake

Article from International Business Times

I think this will make some effect on this show too.. because more than anime series people are interesting to know what gonna in japan now?

[teamgalactic2]

I said yes but, I think the US/UK series will just be moved ahead.

:'( :'( UPDATE: According to pokemonbeach.com, The Team Rocket vs. Team Plazma episode has been canceled!!!!!!

[WhoKnows_WhoCares]

It hasn't been canceled, officially it's been postponed, which means it should air sometime in the future...

Then again, there was an episode a few years back featuring whiscash that was postponed (for similar reasons if I recall), but it never did air when it was rescheduled for and has never been seen since. This episode was never shown when it came across to the USA... And there's no evidence it was even translated and dubbed. So what happens to the rocket double episode and a 3rd episode which has also been postponed is unknown - especially since the English episodes are closer airing to thief Japanese counterparts than they were when the whiscash ep vanished

Look at "Pokemon episodes removed from rotations" on Wikipedia under canceled in Japan. Oh, also look at the one where Ash has a gun at his head... that's just dramatic!
