----------------------------------------
Finally, we get to meet Tierno, Trevor, and Shauna! I thought for sure Tierno would have a Corphish just like in the anime but he has a Squirtle instead.

Wait a second, did Serena just say this is her first battle? I can't believe I never realized it but it's been 39 episodes and she's never had a 'real' battle!

It looks like she's finally getting some character development. I wonder what her dream will be. Rhyhorn racing? Or maybe Pokemon breeding? It's still a mystery.

P.S. I am still waiting to see what happened with Mirror Team Rocket >:( Don't think a silly camp episode is going to make me forget xD

I'm sure she's interested in breeding...minus the pokemon...add a certain dipshit main character.

This is a very interesting episode!

(Although this episode isn't subbed in English yet, the Japanese dialogue coupled with body language is easy enough to understand! ^^)

I've been watching away Pokemon XY anticipating in more of Serena x Satoshi's growth + Serena's personal growth. She seems to be talented or at least show interest in fashion and cooking -- so I think maybe her dream/goal might lead her in that direction -- but who knows?!

We get an interesting shot of Serena when she feels perturbed after Ash states his dream. She's still confused and lost on what she wishes to do with her life.

Even at the end of the episode, you can see that this struggle of not having a dream persists within Serena. It seems she feels pressured from the people around her who has a goal and she feels obligated that she needs to hurry and pick a goal/ dream for herself as well.

When she was sitting at the pier with Fokko, I think the animator did a nice job showing their audience the isolation and the worry Serena is constantly having to deal with knowing that she's a bit slow on the uptake of the idea of pursuing a dream she is truly passionate about.

Thought they'd have the same Pokemon as the game, but Kanto Pokemon even better!

Think 'k...' is ready to evolve by now.

Good episode. Introduced the trio of games we already know (X and Y respectively), see Team Rocket do anything but the same old thing was satisfactory. And that atmosphere that was the end of the episode where Serena seems to have not established a dream, was a curious tactic to hold the viewer to the character. Out that the anime is not far from what we saw so much in the game. Two things left me disappointed: Where is Team Rocket's world of mirrors that seen in episode 37? And when was that Professor Sycamore became filthy rich? Seriously, not even Professor Oak appeared to have much money. O_o

Those trio have finally appeared.

Looks like we are taking too long so we can have Ash vs. Korrina... just like how long it is to get to the 3rd gym in the games.

Haha you still remember that summer camp episode? Good memory! It's to bad Angie is probably never going to show up here (or ever again) because she was really only a plot device during those camp episodes.

I think Serena will go after a PokeVision goal or maybe Pokemon breeding. She can cook, and that one video had a lot of views.

Finally, the Kanto starters show up again. Although, I would have preferred the Johto starters. The Charmander looked pretty hyper and fired up. If it manages to become a Charizard it can very well become a strong energetic one that can be dangerous due to it picking up fights quickly.

A dancing Squirtle and a fiery Charmander - interesting.

Seems odd that it has taken so long for Serena to get around to having a proper Pokemon battle.

Funny that Fennekin is called Fokko in Japan lol. You can see why it isn't called that elsewhere lol. It does sound somewhat rude lol.

I think Serena should be just happy being happy and herself, she doesn't need a dream at that age really. She should just be happy doing what she's doing.

I liked AfroJames lol.

I'm glad I'm back to watching Pokemon XY such an likeable and light-hearted series to follow. I really loved and enjoyed this episode, seeing the trio that we've been expecting was cool they all were likeable and it was nice to see the "OG" starters, the Kanto starter Pokemon it was nice to see. The Kanto starters all were trained well, Team Rocket was chill. All in all a great episode. Ash is really developing and growing, he took his loss gracefully and was very humble when Citron was bragging about him. I love Serena, she seems to be trying to find herself and find a goal, she's been the most interesting female companion since Misty or dare I say ever? I love Serena though and I hope she can find herself and whatever she wants to do. Either way, very enjoyable episode and I can't wait to see how things go.

Finally we are be able to see Tierno, Trevor, and Shauna.. while their pokemon isn't exactly the same with the game but it's still good to use the rest of kanto starter which can also obtained from Prof Sycamore..

Tierno can be ash's pseudo rival in the future although i didn't really expect him to be somewhat really strong.. on the other side, it's nice to focus on serena's "dream".. it would be nice if Serena get some development and finally decide to choose what will she do next.. and i think it would be good if serena decide to be pokemon performer or whatever that Shauna did since it would not only give us a whole new "career" even she will have a rival in Shauna..

Overall a great episode.. seems we'll spent 2-3 more episodes about this camp and it's interesting for me.. Looking forward to see the next ones.. 5/5
