Synopsis Satoshi and Pikachu have arrived in Miare City of the illustrious Kalos region to capture more Pokemon and continue their journey towards becoming the very best. Meanwhile, a genius inventor named Citron and his little sister Eureka wander the city when they run into Satoshi who quickly challenges them to a battle.

However, they are soon caught up in a dangerous incident when Team Rocket, following Satoshi into Kalos, cause a Gaburias to rampage through the city. Far away in the quiet Asame Town, a young girl named Serena slogs through daily Sihorn riding practice at the behest of her mother, a professional Sihorn racer. After practice, she sees the events unfolding in Miare City on television where she recognizes a boy from her childhood. Having left a significant impact on her life, the sight of him stirs in her a desire to meet him again; and so, Serena sets off to Miare City, determined to find the boy from her past. Pokemon XY follows the group as they travel throughout Kalos in pursuit of their ambitions—Satoshi challenging Pokemon gyms, Citron learning from Satoshi, and Serena searching for what exactly her dream is. Along the way, they meet new friends, face new rivals, and continue to thwart Team Rocket's schemes, all the while discovering a little about the mysteries of mega evolution.

Overall 7 Story 5 Animation 10 Sound 8 Character 7 Enjoyment 7 **Updated 1/11/15 with all episodes seen. ** Pokemon XY turned out to be a really worthy entry for Pokemon fans, old or new to sit down, relax and enjoy. STORY: 5/10 Mediocre Don't expect much story from Pokemon, for it is still a show that is primarily directed towards kids. You will still see the power of friendship, teamwork, trust and love swirling around every episode, so the basic formula did not change from the old Pokemon series. In Pokemon XY we follow Ash in his endeavor to beat all eight gyms to challenge the Kalos league, Serena in her conquest to obtain three princess keys by winning the Pokemon Showcases in order to be granted the right to challenge for the Kalos Queen title, Clemont in his journey to learn more about the world and broaden his knowledge as a gym leader, and finally Bonnie, generally serving as the cheerleader of the party. The pacing is pretty uneven throughout the show, with Ash challenging the gyms at a crawling pace in the first half of the series, then him sweeping a number of them in the latter half.

We see our human as well as Pokemon protagonists grow throughout the series, which is pretty satisfying. ART: 10/10 Outstanding Indeed, the art and animation of Pokemon XY is beautiful, that I was left dumbfounded and jaw dropped at the sight of the first episode. Granted, some characters look weird (for example Grant the Rock gym leader has hair resembling a crystallite), but most of the Pokemon designs in this generation could well be my very favourite, look at Scatterbug! It looked dull and boring in the official art, but in the anime itself it is one heck of an adorable creature. Look at Vivillion! It was majestic, almost unrivaled in its beauty. I always loved looking at animated Pokemon Battles, they are excited, and on top of that they looked gorgeous in this latest series.

Heck, even the usual Team Rocket motto looked gorgeous! The Pokemon Showcases are truly a spectacle to watch. I have nothing much but praise to the animation team, well done.

This section alone makes Pokemon XY worth watching. SOUND: 8/10 Very Good You really can't go wrong with this part when it comes to Pokemon, as most of the voice cast are recurring from the previous generations, and the new voice actors did a good job voicing the new characters.

The background music is often a delight to listen to as it is often the same song that plays in the game, which is sheer awesome. For the OP and ED, my personal favorite are V (Volt) and DoriDori respectively, and they are often used as inserted songs throughout the series, the former often plays during Ash's gym battles, while the other during Serena's performance. CHARACTERS: 7/10 Good The old characters who made their return in this series did not change much, Ash is still brave and cares for his Pokemon as much as he did before, and is still a bit of an idiot at times. The Team Rocket Trio is still as cunning and 'evil' as ever and you can always expect them to blast off every episode they are featured in. So the highlight should be the new companions that joined Ash on his journey. Serena is the childhood friend of Ash and the supposed crush of his in the series, she is also the cook of the group.

Then, we need someone knowledgeable to provide us with all the info, and enter Clement, the gym leader of Lumiose City who will also humor us with his wide array of inventions, which will always blow up. Tagging along would be the imouto of Clement, Bonnie, who is the 'awww cute' girl and she cares for Pokemon, a lot, well she's good for providing the needed cheerleading when Ash was battling. In Pokemon, the centre of attention is not always to human characters, but the Pokemon themselves as well. Utilizing the Pokemon natures well, we get to see the many personalities of the Pokemon. Using Serena's as an example, her Fennekin is a Careful one, always cautious when stepping out as she's not one who likes to get dirty; Pancham is an Impish one, sometimes doing naughty things like stealing Ash's hat; Eevee. Ah my personal favorite, is definitely a Timid one, so shy that she can cower and hide somewhere when a stranger approaches her. Enjoyment: 7/10 Good Pokemon XY will be a decent show to kill some time weekly, it is, without a doubt, eye candy, and for a Pokemon fan like myself, it can provide good and relaxing entertainment in a weekly basis.

The story did not end here, Ash hasn't won all the gyms, and Serena hasn't won all her princess keys. The 2nd season, XY&Z, judging from the trailer at the end of the show, promises more Mega Evolutions, more legendaries, and Team Flare will finally make their screen debut. Saying this again, the graphics alone make Pokemon XY really worth it. Overall 9 Story 6 Animation 9 Sound 9 Character 8 Enjoyment 9 Let's be honest here.

After the mess that was Best Wishes, I didn't really want to watch the Pokemon anime anymore. That was until I saw the trailer for the 1hr Special for the first two Pokemon XY episodes. I was pretty surprised and eager to see how far this would have played out. And I wasn't disappointed! First of: Story 6/10 Pokemon anime guys! Don't ever expect too much plot! I really was NOT expecting plot.

While a little more romance than usual thanks to Serena, there is a plot for the XY series currently going on, with some of the key characters and plots being introduced in the Mega Evolution Specials. Others, such as the rivals, get their own specific episode story.

A good example would be Sanpei, who's story you would not really pay attention to until you realize how plot relevant it is during the XY&Z saga. Main Hoon Don Remix Free Mp3 Download. However, I would compare the story content to Ruby & Sapphire or Diamond and Pearl level. Progressing along a little slower than both, however, due to focusing more on world building and characterisation. Art 9/10 One of the best quality art/animation I've seen since. Well, Pokemon DP? But it is very obvious that it has improved leaps and bounds. Art style is different from the normal, Ash looking older (Probably to match Serena), and Serena looks her age instead of a ten year old (And they worked in the whole fashion aspect of XY too!).

Attack animations are MUCH BETTER, actually showing the movements of the Pokemon as the scenery moves along instead of a colored background, and attacks looking more accurate than their usual depiction. Flow of movements actually looks smoother than usual. Since this is based off France it is perfectly understandable that the scenery is beautifully detailed. And of course there is the use of the VS panel! A surprising inclusion, but it does up the tension a little for official matches.

Sound 9/10 The score for XY was beautiful in game, but when transposing it for a live band/orchestra. Thumbs up and cheers all around as it is the most amazing thing I've heard yet!

Opening songs and closing songs were all really good, the first two openings getting you pumped for the adventure ahead, the third, giving you a sense of travelling and the experiences. The first two ending songs were both light hearted and cute, with the second definitely about the peaceful fun days the XY gang goes through. The third ending is both the insert song for Serena, and most likely her theme song, talking about her pursuing her dreams.

The fourth is back to light hearted and cute, talking about the Pokemon themselves mostly having fun. Insert song wise: Brilliantly is actually Citron/Clemont's theme song, but shows up pretty much every time a character is in need of a supportive push and gets through. Beautiful and encouraging! (Its also one of the rare insert songs that made its way into the Pokemon anime) Character 8/10 Best characterisation in the series so far, all the characters actually having motivations, backstories, character expansion episodes, and occasionally story arcs of their own. THIS INCLUDES THE POKEMON! In fact almost every single Pokemon this season has a proper backstory and reason for joining the team, same going for Team Rocket's new members. But the best thing?

While Ash hasn't exactly matured much. HE'S THINKING THROUGH HIS BATTLES!!!! Enjoyment is 9/10 Not that I haven't enjoyed the anime before, but as stated earlier, I lost interest in the Pokemon anime and skipped most of Best Wishes because it was an utter failure in my eyes. Episode N was its only redeeming quality. XY has brought that enjoyment back. Actually going a little deeper into lore, having several side plots key to the actual anime, the game villains actually set to make their appearance.

Battles are more fun, strategic, and entertaining. Musical score is gorgeous. Art was better this season than most. Less filler episodes than usual, most of them contributing to a few Pokemon character growth or expanding on Serena, Bonnie/Eureka, and Clemont/Citron. Overall, XY is definitely the Pokemon anime at its peak, and the one season where I actually watched every single episode for the sheer entertainment value.

I recommend watching it along with its Specials, due to plot relevant information scattered throughout both. For those of you who were disappointed with Best Wishes, XY will make things all better for you!!! (Note: This review is based on the original and not the dubs. Because the Pokemon dubs honestly went downhill with the Battle Frontier).
