A new trailer for the upcoming Pokémon XY anime season has been uploaded by the TV Tokyo YouTube channel. While it doesn’t contain a huge amount of information there are a few details that fans of the anime will be pleased to hear about, including a previously unknown relationship between Ash and a new character, and a redesign of a fan favourite character.
In other news, Pokémon: The Origin has been scheduled for Blu-ray and DVD release on 4 December 2013, it’s likely this is just for Japan, but we will bring further details on an international release if they become available!
Check out the trailer above! Who’s planning to start watching the XY anime once it starts airing? I think I am!

I find it weird that Serena knew Ash as a kid
yeh thats intresting
we dont know anything bout ash before he was 10 maybe we’ll see his dad
highly doubt it I think the animation might have even forgot his dad
I also think that Bonnie looking for a girlfriend for Clemont is pretty unnecessary and I can tell that the animation studio is gonna all these Brock type episodes but with Clemont being the one who is doing the rejected or even the same old Brock episode stuff
Since Bonnie is going to be trying to hook her brother up, I can see a lot of sibling bickering going on. I loved it when May and Max would fight, so I’m looking forward to this aspect.
cool although i wouldnt jump off like that but ye..
I would take the elevator down and send Pikachu to the Pokemon Center.
Hmm starting to get good
This anime is going to be amazing!
I really hope!
Hey Ash, what you gonna do with that Froakie…you gonna catch it?
If they weren’t referring to the new design of Jenny/Joy, then maybe Pika will get a mega evolution
That’d be nice but from the looks of things, the highest evolution of a pokemon gets the mega evolution, so I don’t think pikachu will :c
I love how Yvette looks in the anime. She is beautiful. I wonder if Xavier makes an appearance.
In the movie!
It seems Ash will have Froakie
Well, it seems like Ash is choosing Froakie. Also, Ash knew Serena when he was a kid. ;D
This is a Theory. Don’t take it as real information: As, you know your character moves into Vaniville Town. So, it might mean that your character came from Kanto. That’s might be the reason why, Serena knew Ash!
That sounds like a really awesome connection for them to put together!

The reporter from the 3rd movie…
Oh my god I just realized who she was.
This Series is so awesome!
Am I the only one who doesn’t get the connection?
Are you implying that she’s the little kid? If so, she had a different name and Ash is still 10 years old :S
No, they’re just saying that she is the same reporter from that Movie 🙂
oh my god “third movie”…”third generation”….HOEN REMAKES CONFIRMED!!!!! jkjk hahalol
i know you where just messing around but the third movie takes place in johto
And, if your character is from Kanto, it makes sense for the Professor to give you Kanto starters as a reminder of your old home.
Is it just me or does serena look more like “leaf” from FR LG
so will we see like Calem as the rival!
Im guessing that ash gets froakie first, and then later on he gets chespin. im guessing that serena will get fennekin.
gotta say, ash looks much more epic this time around. Maybe this season will be the one that he gets some lol
Me 2.. the trailer scared me a lil by making me think Clemont gets chespin but I hope not
Clemont is a gym leader, he doesn’t need any new pokemon. plus he is electric type gym leader so Chespin is safe 🙂
It looks awesome. I might watch this series :3 I stopped watching Best Wishes cos I was getting bored of it, but with a lot of characters in the main group should be fun 😀
And the animation is brilliant!
I stopped watching BW because Iris and Cilan got on my nerves. Iris’ constantly putting down Ash was just wrong and Cilan was okay until he started going off on his food metaphors.
Yeah, I don’t really think the two were fleshed out very well. I don’t even remember why the two were with Ash lol
So far the guys in X and Y look cool, I’m glad they brought back the Brother Sister element to the group with Bonnie and Clemont, it’ll make it like Advanced a little. And Serena knowing Ash is great 😀
I seriously loved the Max/May dynamic. I get that Max was sort of useless in the grand scheme of things, but I enjoyed him being there. Maybe it’s just because I’m an older sibling and can sympathize with May.
Yeah, I liked it too. And I enjoyed the episodes that were focused on Max, the ones with Ralts etc. And with Bonnie and Clemont they’ll no doubt be episodes focused on just them 😀
Looking forward to it!
Ah this looks cool! The anime looks pretty nice and I hope it stays like that for the whole season. I hope that Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena all have their own unique backstory and reasons as to why they want to go on an adventure with Ash. While I liked Dento and Iris. I felt that none of them were really given a good personality for the show. and just to be there for as cheerleaders for Ash.
I definitely want to see these new characters do a lot of stuff for the season!
So Serena and Ash had a past together? Now that’s super interesting!
Yeah it;s really interesting.
(Braixen takes out a wand EPIC. FENNEKIN FTW.) 😀
What if professor sycamore it’s ashes father????

Damn they are really stepping up their game.
This is going to be the best series of Pokémon yet!
I have a lot of hopes for it!
Too bad this isn’t being released worldwide.
*This is going to be the best series since Kanto and Johto.
FTFY.
english dub is rumored to be released 2 days after the japanese one

I wonder why he says that his “adventure starts” when on the “Eiffel tower” gym.. First city for those that come from other areas?
That’s just where the plane dropped him off. We’ve known that since the first trailer
did any of you notice a bird flying at the end of the trailer……………….
It was just a Fletchling.

the quality of the animation looks like a 1000x better than Best Wishes and it looks like it might even have plot. The fact the female has an outright crush on Ash proves they’re changing the formula and it may prove that he’s older now 😀
all we need now is a rival that disappears before the Pokemon League!
I think I’ll actually watch this series, but perhaps in dub because the TCPi dub is so bad :L 4kids dub was actually good back in the day and i think the japanese voice acting will be vastly superior to what flat voice cast they have for the dub
I think you’re exaggerating at the quality of the TPCi dub.
made very minor colour edits, but don’t you think serena looks better with a palette closer to in-game serena? (edit left, official right)
I feel like they reserve red for the main character, such as Red in the manga and games and Ash in the anime. If she wore red, I’d see her as more of a competition to Ash. The pink, however, makes her feel more like a companion with her own goal instead of another gym battler. Dawn had pink as one of her dominant colors, as did Iris. May had red though, but then again, she began with a similar goal to Ash’s and only changed path midway. It’s very slight, but a pretty noticeable difference between the two Serenas.
I like the red hat better but I would keep the collar if I had my choice.
So I guess its obvious that Ash gets Froakie, and the Eiffel Tower building is confirmed as a gym.
i think it should have maze floors, and there could be 2 gym leaders, with one being the eighth gym, and the other being clemont….
Chespin you adorable little piggy! No wonder you get so fat! 0:26
……Team Rocket?? My hopes and dreams are dashed. -_-;;;
Was really hoping more focus on Team Flare. Though I love the Rockets, maybe they should just join the new teams with each generation. xD
There’s still hope! They might have a few episodes dedicated to themselves, flashbacks, and bring back their old Pokémon. I’m so frustrated that they still couldn’t bring back their old pals in Unova despite the fact that when Season 2 started, LITERALLY every episode had an old gen Pokémon! Why? Because Giovanni told them not too?!
I have always hoped that at some point team rocket would turn good and join ash and actually achieve something, like have them go after the evil teams to try and right their wrongs. I’m bored of always knowing they will fail at being evil 😛
I prefer only seeing that happen in movies, not anime
Well Wobbeffet is returning, so I’m happy!
…kill me now…..
I saw on tumblr, someone recognized the reporter and camera man from the third movie! what a cool throwback
