The first episode will be available to stream on January 15, 2020 at 10:00 p.m., with the next episodes debuting each month.

Synopsis
Galar is a region where Pokemon battles have developed into a cultural sensation. Over the span of seven episodes, Pokemon: Twilight Wings will show in detail the dreams of Galar's residents, the realities they face, the challenges they must overcome and the conflicts they must resolve. In addition to these new stories, fans can expect to see a variety of Pokemon originally discovered in the Galar region appearing in the capsule series. (Source: Press Release)

Web animation series appears to be what Pokémon should focus on more. Generations was fun, and although I do wish there was more to it, it was an interesting place to take the franchise. The main anime's not going there for a while it looks like, so to have a little side-thing all about it will help it. SwSh has been disappointing, so hopefully seeing Galar animated will do the region wonders.

I'm gonna wait 'til all these episodes are out before I watch, though, given the short duration of each episode.

Uh, I'm pretty sure that this was revealed by The Pokémon Company, not Nintendo. It's even on the source.
