The popular Pokemon series has been on indefinite halt for over 2 months now, pending the findings of a special investigative Japnese gov't probe, And it now seems that it's future run and completion may be threatened. Tv Tokyo (the network on which Pokemon ran) has announced they may or may not finish out the series but a definite decision will be reached based on the probe's findings. One other note to add is the possibility of other networks picking up the series, why no networks has made formal annoucements on this idea, Pokemon's sheer popularity which in fact has seemed to grow during the halt, may be enough to give it a new lease on life in the form of being broadcast on another network.
