But that doesn't stop Serena from being an absolute joy to have on screen. Unfortunately, this big suspenseful journey gets wrapped up pretty quickly and anticlimactically. You immediately become interested in her story and hope to see it go somewhere that Pokemon has never really gone, before. But the reason she has for going on a journey is actually REALLY interesting. She's just a girl living at home, who doesn't seem to be really involved in anything related to Pokemon.


First off, she doesn't start off with any Pokemon, or even with any plans to get one and go on a journey. When we get to see her and personal life, she seems very atypical, compared to all the other female traveling companions that Ash has had, in the past. Right from the beginning, Serena is a very interesting character. First off, we have the female playable character in X and Y, Serena. And for the first time since the Hoenn generation, Ash is traveling in a party of FOUR this time, as opposed to three. Speaking of starting from the ground up, like always, Ash has an entirely new traveling party in this new region. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see if that's entirely true. It's by far the best Ash Ketchum in the Pokemon anime, and I'm REALLY sad that the small bits of the Sun and Moon anime that I've seen so far seem to completely erase that personality and rewrite Ash from the ground up, once again. But Ash does a really good job with this role, while also continuing to have growth and struggles of his own. Usually that honor belongs to the older male traveling companion. This Ash is more confident, courageous, intelligent, and acts as a mentor to his traveling companions. And considering D&P has an INCREDIBLY smart and deep Ash in it, Black and White back peddled like nobody's business! So when X and Y roles around and introduces this new, more confident Ash, I was really impressed. So in Black and White, Ash had completely lost and and all knowledge and skill he ever had, throughout the entirety of Diamond and Pearl. While he may not be doing that in the age department, he definitely did that in the personality department. I get that they want to have a 10 year old protagonist so that the majority of the Pokemon anime audience can have a character that they can relate to, but I think it'd be even more impactful to have that protagonist grow up, along with its audience. Of course he's still in 10 year old limbo, but we can at least pretend that he's aged over time, with this one. Not only to the colors look improved, but Ash looks significantly older in this series. Right from the get go, the new art palette (teehee) is a huge step up from the already amazing looking Black and White (which is the only amazing thing about that season). Getting better and better, in terms of animation. So X and Y had a lot of fixing to do? Does it succeed? Well, let's talk about that.įirst off, I don't know how they keep doing it, but the Pokemon anime just keeps we just came off of the Black and White anime, which is widely considered to be the worst of the Pokemon anime. In the games department, X and Y was absolutely revolutionary for the Pokemon franchise. It's always bittersweet, having a new generation of Pokemon come to an end.
