New Pokémon the Series: XY Trailer Features Clemont & Serena

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DPulIQYTv4

As you can see, the above trailer heavily features Clemont, the Lumiose City Gym Leader, and his sister Bonnie (sidenote: her Japanese name is Eureka to go with the inventor theme). The female character from the Pokémon X & Y games, Serena, also makes an appearance! Looks like the series will start with a bang!

    • The funny thing is that even though Vivillon seems cool in that trailer, the fact that the first gym leader has it probably makes it an awful Pokemon to battle with.

      Also, the trailer cleverly cut away from Ash and Pikachu battling Vivillon to Vivillon battling Fletchling, so we never actually see Ash and Fletchling in the same shot. It seems likely that it is, but I hope that it’s Serena’s instead for a little change (but the two Fire types may dissuade her from Fennekin, which I like).

      • Just because the first gym leader has it doesn’t mean it will be an awful Pokemon. You should use it yourself before u judge a Pokemon! =_=

        I still think the Fletchling is Ash’s, the fletchling could just like Serena like Caterpie liked Misty. Also Serena was sitting on the side of the battle field with Clemont, Bonnie, & Alexa!

        • Nothing against the regional bugs, but they’re usually awful stat-wise. Beautifly is one of my all-time favorite Pokemon, but I’d never use it on a Wi-Fi team.

          You do see Serena watching Ash’s battle, but who is to say that the Fletchling scene isn’t cut and pasted from Serena’s battle against Viola from earlier in the episode since we don’t see Ash behind Fletchling? It’s most likely Ash’s but I do like the idea of it being Serena’s.

  1. I do like the bit with Pikachu using an electric type move, and how it zooms in and out, kinda like battles for X&Y
    Ash is gonna get Froakie and Fletchling huh
    Also, are you gonna either cover the ep in pics or put a video for the next ep?

      • Yeah I do remember you talking about that for the BW series, if you can’t, don’t go to extra trouble if you don’t need to, would like next ep vids tho

  2. TBH, I would be surprised if Ash DIDN’T get a Fletchling. He’s had like every regional bird so far, why would they bother to change that?

    My only hope is that Fletchling gets more personality than the other birds in Ash’s previous rosters. His other Pokemon were all much more interesting.

    Oh and yeah, Ash is getting a Froakie. There’s no way he’d go to the lengths he goes to to save the Froakie in the video and it not want to join him afterwards.

  3. Finally, the gym battles don’t look one sided anymore. The battle with Clemont looks cool and Viola has a Vivilon which is sweet.

    It’s like Ash vs Burgh all over again. That was the best gym match for me in B/W

    • Chespin used Rollout. Rock type evolution has been confirmed.
      Quiladin used Mud Shot. Ground type evolution has been confirmed.

      It doesn’t exactly work like that, but it would be nice and I do see it coming.

      • Really man? Okay, Bunnelby is the Digging Pokemon, it has a dirty skin, can learn Mud-Slap, Dig and Drill Run. I don’t remember that I said Quilladin will be Grass/Rock. I know that Rollout has been learned most of the Pokemon. Braixen can use Psychic, Psychock, Psybeam and Lucky Chant (I know its not Psychic, don’t worry) so it’s MAYBE a Psychic type. Seriously don’t think that I’m that dumb.

        • Evidence points at it, but it’s not confirmed. I’m just saying that you can’t confirm a typing based on a single move, or we’d think that Piplup was a Flying type and that Chespin’s evos were the types I mentioned. You shouldn’t throw around words like “confirmed” unless it has been verified by GF. Next time, say, “Oh, Bunnelby used Drill Run, so he probably will evolve into a Ground type” instead of trying to sound like a newscaster and announce a suspicion. I never said you were dumb, just that your statement wasn’t quite correct.

            I get that penguins don’t fly, but the discussion was about moves that a Pokemon knows predicting its type. What does that list of Pokebeach rumors have to do with Bunnelby’s typing? And Clefairy being a Fairy is likely, but by no means confirmed, and Troll Freak could make it not get Fairy. I’m kinda lost with what you’re trying to say, so I’m done.

          • That is correct. Penguins can’t fly because they can swim. Other birds can’t swim because they can fly. Look it up.
            But doduo is still flying type, and it can fly weirdly enough.

          • Umm, well it’s not really a trade off, more specifically penguins don’t possess the correct mass or wings to be able to fly, while other birds can’t get their feathers wet. Water birds can swim and fly. I think Doduo does possess wings but how it can fly doesn’t make sense indeed.

          • No other bird can swim like a penguin does. That is, underwater at full speed. Most other birds can indeed swim at the surface and dive for a minute, but that’s it. Birds can get their feathers wet, that’s why they excrete a waxy substance they spread on the feathers, it is essentialy a watershield. Crude oil mixes with this and removes the waxy substance, so that’s why birds drown whenever a huge oil tanker leaks.
            But there was some recent cool research that showed penguins’ wings are adapted to the hydrodynamic flow of water, while other birds wings are more adapted to air. The research concluded that they could only be good in one thing, so that’s why penguins can’t really fly, and other birds can’t really swim.

          • Left Head and Right Head are listening to either metal or rock, while Middle Head needs a clear mind to stay focused.

  4. Wait… if Clemont has a Bunnelby, I really doubt he’s going to be an Electric type gym leader. Then, which type is he going to be? Normal? Ground? Steel?… I don’t understand anything… he seemed so obviously Electric.

  5. I don’t know if it’s already been on here, but Origins will be out in America November 15 but will not air on tv. It will be on Pokemon tv online.

  7. Ok Ash is getting
    Froakie (and used to catch Fletchling)
    Fletchling (bound to happen)

    Bonnie holds on to Clemont’s pokemon including Dedenne

    Bunnelby’s dig / Double Team combo has won my respect

  8. Wow, the anime made Bunnelby a lot cuter sounding and cool looking now XD I really hope they’re planning to keep the anime this nice looking. The other seasons were always so rushed looking and reusing action scenes all the time. Like when dragonite would use thunderpunch, they’d use the same clip over and over :l

  9. so what sort of pokemon do you think ash, clemont and serena will get in hte anime.

    fenekin, spritze,meowstic and maybe have a blastoise since she knows ash from pallet town
    and clemont will get
    dedenne, hepotile, and bunnleby

    • I don’t think Ash will be bringing Charizard to Kalos. It’d be too powerful and was just in Best Wishes. I don’t mean to hate on it because I like his Charizard, but it needs a break. He’ll probably return it to Charisific Valley and train.
