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!

Since Best Wishes is over, I just have one question…did Ash’s Primape ever show up in Best Wishes? It was in the second season Best Wishes opening.
The very last scene in the BW series has Ash’s mom looking at a picture with Ash and all of his Pokemon at the lab with him. It has almost all the Pokemon he’s ever had, but noticeably missing are Squirtle (with Officer Jenny), Butterfree and Pidgeot (released), Aimbipom (Traded away to Dawn), and Larvitar (technically not his). I actually searched the picture specifically looking for Primape, but I didn’t see him. I guess he’s still with the fighting guy.
I see. Then why the heck was it in the opening then? I guess TV Tokyo was pulling an Oorotto on us. Also, I saw the picture and his Gliscor was there. This confirms that it was at Oak’s the whole time and not at its Sensei doesn’t it? On bulbapedia, it’s location has been marked “Status Unknown” or “Unknown”
Yeah, it left to perfect Giga Impact, but it was never established until now whether he went back to train or joined Ash’s others with Oak. I guess he’s back with Ash then.
I guess it’s like Pidgeot, Butterfree, and Tyrannitar and Larvitar in Battle Frontier’s opening. They never appeared again, but it was just showing off all his past captures. Also, maybe Primape appeared in the opening to let young fans know that Ash caught a the Primape in that flashback with Charmander in the episode that Charizard returns.
That makes sense about the whole Charizard flashback thing. I didn’t even think about that!
With a new series coming soon, this gives Ash a chance to catch types of Pokémon he’s never used: Steel, Psychic, Ghost, and Fairy. Which of these new types do you think he’ll catch? Or none of them (it happened in Advanced Generation Series)?
Fairy definitely.
In the Advanced series he got Glalie, his first Ice type Pokemon.
Nope. He caught Lapras in the Orange Islands Arc. I thought that before too.
Good point, I always forgot about Lapras because I never watched the Ornage Island series.
I barley watched it, but didn’t know Lapras was an Ice type. I always thought she was a Pure Water type. I would have known if I had played the games during the time.
I don’t see Ash getting any of the Fairy types revealed so far. Usually he doesn’t tend to get the cutesy ones, and I can’t think of any Fairy types that would fit him well. I feel like they’ll slip him a Steel type that doesn’t look like one (like Lucario or Empoleon), just because I can’t see Ash using the type that is known for intelligence (Psychic) and the spooky one (Ghost).
If Team Rocket used a Psychic and Ghost Pokémon, then Ash might too, but I doubt it as well. I agree that if he does use a Steel type, it probably wouldn’t look like one. Maybe he’ll use Mawile, which is also a fairy and isn’t a dainty, cute, or pink fluffball.
Well, from the poster it looks like TR might be getting a Malamar, but don’t forget Jessie has her Wobbufet back now.
I’m so happy she got Wobbufet back! If I had to live any longer without it in the anime, I would’ve punched somebody!
The problem is, I don’t see it being much use again. Unless of course it learnt psychic. 😉
I’ll be happy if it just came back as a comic relief character. That’s what it was known as anyway. Very rarley was it used in battles, and when it was, it just used Mirror Coat/Counter, which just backfired anyway.
I really don’t want to see Inkay/Malamar with TR. It’s one of my favourite lines this generation with an amazing typing and I really want it to be done justice. If not on the main cast please give it to a rival or even a Gym leaders main Pokemon, but please not to TR.
Wobuffet can’t learn psychic
I wonder what pokemon will be chowing down on James this gen. Victreebel was the best, especially that scream lol.
I’m down between either Malimar or Honedge.
Malimar would constantly wrap him up with its tentacles and try to possess him.
Honedge would try to hug him, but because he’s a sword, he’d hurt James. Maybe that’s too morbid, but I like it.
If James got Honedge, then he’d be a real threat.
If James got Honedge, chances are it wouldn’t be the average Honedge! It would be comical relief in some way.
Maybe it would end up liking him so much it got carried away and playfully stabbed him?
I personally felt Jesse would be using an Inkay for her Kalos travels and for James will have to see
Inkay does have that creepy-but-cute look that Jessie tends to love.
I feel like he’ll have a swirlex that will always snuggle his face
I hope Seviper comes back too!
it’s not :/ I like seviper to
I feel like he’s going to catch a Clauncher, then Kingler and Corphish will have a play mate lol
New attack? bug buzz? solarbeam? energy ball?
I think it’s struggle bug.
My guess would be Hidden Power, but Struggle Bug could work too.
At first I was thinking it was Hidden Power too. It looked like it from the Original Series, just green colored. But with Vivillion being a Bug type, I’m leaning towards Struggle Bug. Also, it used that move in the E3 trailer.
Good catch.
Yea it matches up
it’s not energy ball
I think its just hidden power
Sooo guys -16 days 😀
I wonder what pokemon will be chowing down on James this gen. Victreebel was the best, especially that scream lol
There’s yet to be a new munching Grass type.
there was carnivine, but victreebel was the best and it was stronger
Does anyone know what the best website to use for watching the newest episodes subbed? I really don’t want to watch them RAW.
I’ve been trying to look for the Best Wishes Da! episode that came out today but I can’t find it yet.
Me neither. I’ve watched a few of them RAW, but it’s not fun.
I can watch em Raw because I learned Japanese but I still prefer subbed.
Ummm, can I just say this new series will be EFFING amazing! The quality of the battles are top-notch and the animation as well as the movements are very fluid not stiff like BW.
I love the way Bunnelby uses dig and pops out using double team. That fletchling (which i assume is ash’s) looks like a freaking boss.
Wow with every commercial that is shown of this new season it makes me even more excited!!!! I can’t wait for this to be dubbed and I’m definitely gonna try and find the subbed version.
Hopefully Froakie (or whatever water type Ash gets this region) will evolve. He’s only had one water type evolve and that was Krabby way back in the Indigo league. >.>
I really wish they would state a logical explanation as to why he doesn’t fully evolve his Pokemon. They must all be using Eviolite or something, but once, JUST FREAKIN ONCE, I want to see him with a fully evolved starter other than Charizard.
Infernape. Torterra.
I never watched any of those, but thanks for pointing that out.
Sceptile, Torterra, Infernape.
Sceptile, Infernape, and Torterra
I’m thinking Ash will get Froakie (obviously) and Serena will chose Fennekin or Chespin, kinda like in Hoenn or Sinnoh.
So did ash jump off that building twice !?!
EXCITED!!
Ok so I just had a thought. Although they haven’t shown a ton of footage from XY, from seeing the battle scenes, do you think they have gotten rid of the colored backgrounds? I mean when a Pokemon attacks in the anime, there’s usually a colored background. In the footage shown it looks like they’ve done away with that and are just showing the attack with a few extra little things around to show the action. I for one hope they have gotten rid of the background. It just seemed lazy to me and unnecessary.
That would definitely make the Anime seem more mature and less cartoonish.
The top image is from today’s episode and the bottom image is from the X/Y anime.
He looks so different.
Ya the animation definitely changes a quite bit. To be perfectly honest I think it even changes a little in the last couple of shots in that last scene too.
The To Be continued bit at the end made Ash look slightly older as he looks in X/Y, I haven’t seen the episode yet though, where can I watch it?
I actually haven’t seen it myself. srry. I was actually referring to the screen caps that serebii took. In the last couple of frame they took the animation looks slightly different from the usual BW.
I do have the episode but I can’t upload it
Could you provide a link to where you watched or DL it from?
It looks more refined, to be honest. There also seems to be a compelling story line and character interaction/development. Something tells me though this is a facade and there will be lots of pointless fillers again. Hell older episodes (especially from Best Wishes) tried to make it seem like there will be an exciting episode and the entire thing was pointless.
I’m worried about that 2, but I’m only coming back 4 epic battles so if they have that, I’ll let the storyline slide
And Pikachu remains derp.
Wait Alexa has red nail polish. Now they are really getting into detail with Pokemon O.o
They have fingernails now so yeah, it makes since.
Where were these scenes? I didn’t see them in the newest trailer. You said the newest episode, but that’s the Best Wishes finale.
Can the fennekin talk because before it talks I hear weird voice.
It was a Pokédex. It had a female voice.
It’s funny how Bunnelby used double team cause you know rabbits multiply fast heh heh.
I’m curious about why Clemont is using a Bunnelby. I know Iris had Emolga and Cilan had Stunfisk and whatnot, but it seems like Clemont is actually using Bunnelby in a Gym battle, which strikes me as odd…
Could be a friendly match. I recall somewhere that Clemont refused Ash a gym battle.
I am seriously way more excited for this series than the the Pokemon origin
Just realized that my total number of upvotes is 777. xD
Lucky you, huh? 😀
I might actually start watching the anime again. Please don’t disappoint.
It looks promising.
I’ve been watching balck and white and team rocket is more bad-as in this one but what happen to wobbufet??
That’s like the only thing I know for a fact about the Black and White anime: Team Rocket is serious this time.
Well that and apparently everybody says Cilan and Iris is annoying as Sawsbuck.
they are, the good thing, well that i like is that whenever theres a tournament there is always a whole bunch of ash’s friends competing which makes it more interesting, like when bianca defeated ash’s rival with her emboar
Jesse and James left their non-Unova Pokemon behind because it would cause too much of a stir with non-native Pokemon, seeing as how Unova was so far away from the first four regions.
ohhhhH!!! i see, well they were awesome in nova except for the pokemon that they use, hopefully in x and y they don’t become dumb like in sinho
Ash will have Froakie.. It’ll evolve since it sorta gives off that Tepig vibe (No? Only me? Haha).. Probably a Chespin and it won’t evolve since it’s like the Oshawott of this gen.. And Serena will have Fennekin (Which will probably evolve fully) Can’t wait for the anime! xD
Maybe Ash will finally have a Water starter evolve.
Oh yeah, haven’t noticed that, actually haha
I believe that if he does catch Froakie, it’ll evolve because unlike his Squirtle, Totadile, and Oshawott, Froakie doesn’t look cute. It looks like a hardcore, serious fighter.
ash did manage to evolve krabby
Yes, but Krabby isn’t a water starter though.
right!! i wonder why doesn’t he evolve al of his starters like squirtle, he’s old and needs to be evolve asap so he can go mega but I’m guessing probably his charizard will go mega
So, Ash catches a Fletchling. I kinda figured that.
Same! He got all of the reigonal birds. Pidgey, Hoothoot, Taillow, Starly, and Pidove. So, it was obvious he was going to get a Fletchling!
he didn’t have a hoothoot, he caught noctowl
my gut says james will have a swirlx
Mine says Jessie will have a Spritzee. (Not lying.)
I think Jessie will get a Malamar, cause it looks so evil… I really hope James will have another grass-type. I was shocked he didn’t catch a Maractus last season!
I kinda felt like Jessie would catch an Inkay and James…would get…I really don’t know, cause in the Unova I never saw Yamask coming
Maybe as more get revealed something would fit James
I was shocked to, if he wasn’t so serious I bet he would have caught one but he ended up with amoonguss
now lets wait for the rival
