Correct me if I wrong.
But isn't it the best start for a Pokemon season ?

Probably. Let's hope they can keep it up through most of the series.

Yes, it was definitely really good and fun to watch (just like when I was a kid) never felt so excited about Pokemon since I was like 7 XD

Reminds me of Saturday mornings when I was younger.
If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime?

Pokemon is getting better imo. Just needs to become as hype as the trailers for BW.

So Serena is childhood friends with Ash guessing by the flashback at the end. Amazing how we never even knew about her until now which is like late 1990's when Pokemon debuted on TV.

Mega Blaziken looks awesome. I was expecting Mega Garchomp for some reason, but as long as Serena gets some screen time it's all good. I'm looking forward to her introduction.

Pokemon continues to be enjoyable, LOL. =D

Froakie has got style, just like Ash's Snivy from the previous season.

Every new region of pokemon i check and didn't think i would have enjoy the first 2 episodes of it that much....Citron is quite a nice guy and his sister also.Not much is known about Serena but i think she will be quite interest and she may have met Ash when there were younger.Love the new animation and battle effects...i will keep on watching for a few more to decide if i'm gonna watch it fully

It was actually pretty decent. Might watch as it airs.

Can't wait to see Viola & Valerie. Would be nice if they showed Malva & Drasna too.

I felt excited like one or two times before in my life.

I MEAN OH MY GOD SERENA IS SOMEHOW RELATED TO ASH IN THEIR CHILDHOOD.

THIS IS AMONG BEST THINGS IN THE WORLD.

Pretty solid start by pokemon's standards. The first 2 episodes were a lot more dynamic and fast-paced than I thought they would be. Almost felt like one of those mid-season 2 parters. I just hope the quality doesn't drastically decrease as we continue. I also thought BW's beginning was sorta cool until it became one of the most pedestrian seasons of the show, so I'm hoping XY can at least rival or surpass DP. In order for that to happen, I'm also hoping Ash actually gets a decent rival like Shinji in this season.

The music that was playing when Ash was confronting Garchomp at the top of Prism Tower was epic.

Just like the games, the animation is a step up against what we've had before, I feel.
Soundtrack's lovely too, might I add 8) Plus, the younger sibling character here, Eureka, is obviously multitudes superior to old Max we had before.
However, the most important thing I need to point out is how much better anime Serena is than game Serena. Hopefully Shauna/Sana is as lovely as in the games, if not better 8)
Gonna actually watch this one through as it comes. Very nice. Can't wait for it to reach the Flare plot.
Please check my music out on SoundCloud! There's something for everyone.

About the second episode I like the ending song. It's very nice ;) The brave of Ash don't stop to surprise me, he could save Garchomp... And Ash was save too by a pokemon (which can't remember his name) because he jump of the tower to trying to save Pikachu... I'm questioned myself, where does Serena knows Ash?... o.O

Awesome episode~! Very good animation.

Mega Blazakin was cool saving Ash and Pikachu lol. What if he wasn't there to save them though? it would have been splat!

Wow.. yet another great episode.. for Pokemon it's rare to see some serious moment in the beginning of episode.. Anyway, we got to see more Serena which is nice and from the flashback scene, i guess she already know ash before, a childhood friend perhaps?

As for the episode itself, nothing surprise that in the end Frokie will be the first pokemon that Ash caught in Kalos (i also choose him in the game since i guess it's evolutionary line is the best compare to other Kalos starter).. I just hope that eventually this frokie will evolve kinda like his treecko and chimchar in the past.. Overall yet another great episode.. looking forward to see the next one.. 5/5

Sophie is fine.

The explosion from Gablias' hyper beam sound like gun shots.

A male officer?

Satoshi would die with Pikachu any day of the week.

I'm surprised that Serena at this point hasn't joined Ash like every other female companion. Then again, those two joined Ash.

pretty tense episode, the animation is just fantastic, especially that hypre beam.

what the hell as thought when jumping from the tower for pikachu? lol

team rocket just messing things up and blown away xD

froakie was great.

clement and bonnie though are trying hard to keep with ash, bonnie doing much better than clement lol.

still not enough sarena, but we got what we wanna know about her, and why she's gonna look for ash.

mega evolution, hmm, serious stuff.

that mega blaziken too.
though now i kinda understand why in SM they went with power rangers style, in XY we have this "hero" lol.

Couldn't ash have used pikachu to use thunderbolt on garchomp since its part ground? thus destroying the collar?

Mega Blaziken so cool!

Serena knows ash ?!

Ash doesnt know it yet but that Froakie is very very special
