@RoXasNova360 he didnt just leave Greninja behind. Zygarde recruited Greninja to help hunt down the rest of the Red Zygarde that nearly destroyed everything. its power was still dormant under the ground and for some reason only Ash's Greninja could sense the malicious energy. The rest of the team was scattered though. Goodra went back to the marshes to make sure there was peace. Pikachu obviously went with Ash and i cant remember what happened to the others.
What's funny about this comment is the fact that towards the beginning of XY Serena questions how Nurse Joy got from one Pokemon center to another without passing her and Ash goes "but is that really the Nurse Joy you met on route 4?" So clearly at some point Ash figured this out.
@@steffij9775 Woah, so Netflix knows how long the intro is? That's cool! What if the anime has some re-cap or anything of the like before the intro? Will it be skipped aswell?
@@floracent there is also a skip recap button on the top rigt corner when there is recaps going on. For example, Pokemon. I just finished Pokemon XY and XY&Z just now in Netflix hahaha
man i watched whole 1000+ episodes in 1 months , i am not lying bu then tbh when xyz ended i felt so bad and i was littraly crying i dont care what everybody think but due to serenas romance this seires looked way better than any other any other , i wish if she returns and also the animation they had in xyz
SuMo the series is good in a vaccume (though seriously watch anything past DP and even DP itself with sub, not dub, the OST selection is way better,TPCI gimped way too much of the OST past late DP) the problem comes from the clash of moods between SuMo and XY, both good series in thier own right.
XYZ was truly the best! The only thing that I was upset about was Ash's loss in the Pokémon League: he had the perfect team, yet still lost to a Mega Charizard X... We had waited for more than 18 Seasons for Ash to finally win a League, but no! Still, it's such a good continuation to the anime, all the characters feel fresh and multi-layered, Ash is a mature badass and not a brain-dead child, and all of his Pokémon had the chance to shine at least once!
Yeah if they had given Ash a victory in kalos instead of Alola then it would be more reasonable because Ash seems like he is more practicing then actually battling seriously in battles
@@wandering_alaska I do agree with your statement that he should've won the kalos league insted of alola. But i think if he did win at kalos he would've had to win in alola since it's a newer league and there's not much competition. But yeh, frankly i think he should've won at kalos for how great the series was, it would've been a cherry on top. And also i think i would've enjoyed the kalos win more than the world tournament win.

So trueee bro, a Darkrai and Latios wth, honestly with Greninja vs Mega Charizard was more even and I think that Ash should have won with that last attack. I'm still mad 😡
Petersquad this is exactly what I was thinking. I loved xyz and the animations and the charcaters but then the characters went into a shithole and the animations got worse even though before that series, it had gotten better over time. Hell, I think b and w was better. And too much comedy. And the comedy was not that good.
@@Peterdubs god damn i can't stand sun and moon. love the game, hate the series. how can they fuck up the maturity and amazing animation of xyz or even d&p for the childish shit. ash looks younger than when he first started. no way in hell he can still be 10 years old after that many journeys
I personally had zero problems with the animation from the first series. Maybe it’s because I was there when a lot of those episodes first debuted on American TV. But I’ve been watching it again today and I’d say it still holds up.
The first series was pretty bad compared to later generations. It’s so hard to watch and get in to. Gen 2-4 were amazing however. But Ash was a complete loser in the first generation. And his rivalry with Gary wasn’t anything compared to his rivalry with Paul. I guess I don’t see what’s so special about the first series.
@@keltdood the animation isnt great, vut it was just starting out, and as q kid i loved it. Granted, i'd only ever seen the gen 1 and gen 6 animes at that point, but it was one of my favorite childhood shows
@@keltdood i respect your opinion but the reason ash was a loser is because its the beginning of his journey of course your gonna suck at the start ya know

@@NerdX151 I have been a fan of Pokemon ever since I was 15 years old (I still miss Misty and Brock even though they returned briefly in the Sun and Moon series. LOL)
@@em0ghenzy345 pokemon diamond and pearl was my first acquaintance with Pokemon. I was totally reluctant to let go of dawn and Brock and accept Serena and clemont. Dawn and Brock were great but Serena and clemont are totally amazing as well. Ash greninja is a lovable aspect. Sawyer and also serena's rival were so mature. Alain was a very interesting guy too. I loved the XY series.
*I knew we would encounter a situation precisely like this one!* *Wow! Science is so amazing* *How do you thing I look ash?* *Let's just hope it won't blow up again* Never will forget those lines..
Yes. XY is such a good series. Ash losing the finals for absolutely no reason is the only major complaint I have. Edit: I’m not gonna lie. I’m a bit disturbed by how many people in my thread cannot see what is wrong with how Ash lost.
The perfect pokemon series to me would be one that: 1. Has appearances of past characters like Brock, misty, dawn, etc. 2. Ash and other characters are mature like in X/Y 3. Story has good plot and character progression throughout with minimal filler. 4. Make battles more shounen-esc and hype like end of D/P or X/Y 5. Have ash bring back his old pokemon like in D/P for the pokemon league. 6. Basically just combine Diamond & Pearl with X & Y and you'll have an amazing show.
Yes! Oh, and for once, a female lead who actually BATTLED. The only two female trainers were Misty and Iris. Iris was just flat out annoying and bad, while just as Misty was finally showing potential, the show cuts her off. And nobody speaks of Sun and Moon.
XYZ is the best, but the ending is absolutely atrocious. Having Ash lose every single time to his rival and having the writers deliberately fool everyone by thinking he would finally win in the 20th season was insulting AT BEST.
Ending? That wasnt the ending. Something tells me you stopped watching after ash lost and didnt bother to watch the amazing episodes that came after it
What i expected from ending of XYZ 1. Ash will win . 2. Serena will join ash to the next series 3. Greninja will come with ash 4. Ash and serena will meet many companies 5. + new regions 🙄😞
@@foxthebox5113 The writers could of changed the whole outcome of what happened with XYZ just saying it would of been great if they did that and i always watch the anime ( Even the bad parts )

@@rokia360 wait what? Diamond and pearl are one the most liked games out, people have been asking for DP remakes for years now. Black and white are the underdogs as far as the games are concerned
@@rokia360 not at all, it was very polarising when it came out. Most people didnt like the new pokemons, triple battles etc. I remember being very confused myself when it came out cuz bw is my favourite of all time but its always been hit or miss in the community
I agree with all of your entries. The X&Y series was beautiful, I really felt sad knowing that it was going to end. And of course, Paul and Ash's rivalry in DP was absolutely incredible.
Sinnoh was one of the best What did they had? -an actual good team -good companions -good rivals -he almost won the league but lost to legendaries ( I can see why he lost) -good enemies And so for
@Alice no. He was just really talented and so was Ash ! Putting a guy with legendary team was the only way to make Ash lose. Except in xyz, he lost to a mega Charizard with no real explanation
It was like, Ash was living up to his age, he had an amazing team, he had awesome friends, and *he had a girl* Then when Sun and Moon came WOW IT’S A POKÉMON
I have a lot of nostalgia for the Black and White anime. I used to watch reruns of Diamond and Pearl but Best Wishes is when I watched it weekly (most of the time) I had no idea people say it's bad but now I get it.
XYZ was awesome but it felt rushed, especially during the league. Diamond and Pearl had a lot of filler but the characters were fully fleshed out and consistent. Plus, the league was far better if you forget Tobias.
The league was just cap. It was like just throw those legendaries to make ash lose. Latias and darkrai on the same team felt totally bullshit as legendaries are supposed to be very very very rare to find and have those special abilities that they can use to flee like we saw with suicune and entei and even ho oh
The Kalos league was bad, I agree. However, that Ash v Sawyer battle is my fav Pokemon battle. Also, the rest of XY was amazing and the Team Flare arc was the best pokemon anime arc imo
Iris: "How many times will it take to learn that attract won't between girls?" The RWBY fandom: "I does seem quite obvious that you've never heard of me."
XYZ's animation was top, the music, the story...it made me remember how good D/P was and heck it was even better. Sad it all went to the garbage once Sun and Moon started
@TheBoltMaster People have opinions, I admit I didn't watch Sun and Moon because the animation didn't convince me and neither did the pokemon themselves. As for the 12 year old fangirl, I'll let you think that's my age and ignore the rest of the comment. Don't attack people because they prefer something different than you do, have a good day.
@TheBoltMaster Imagine forcing yourself to watch over 10 episodes of something you find absolutely sh*t just in case it gets good during the finale. That is just torture for the sake of if you have to defend why you hate the first 10 episodes.
The animation: A lot of people say Sun&Moon animation is more fluid, better, and such, and I honestly couldn't even tell much of a difference. It's just a bit slower for the sake of fluidity. But XYZ just had some of the most beautiful looking scenes ever like Serena cutting her hair, or Greninja leaving Ash. The music: Literally the Ash Greninja Theme or Iku-Z, is so good and iconic, that they used it for Torracat and Incineroar. The Story: Depends what you're into.
I don't care what anyone says. I am so glad I grew up in my childhood with Pokemon Gen 5 by my side, Unova was my childhood and forever will be my favourite Pokemon anime, generation and region. I love EVERYTHING about the Pokemon anime, maybe that is just nostalgia getting in the way, but I genuinely loved that anime so much, including the characters and stories.
@@CJ-wj5ol I found all the characters in xy extremely annoying with the exception of maybe Serena. At least dp doesnt make me want to rip my ears off the second someone opens their mouth
@@PoketechShraeder Paul is so much better than all the other rivals, that is not even funny, is two 6 vs 6 with Ash are still my top 2 battles of the anime... The Shinno league was also alot better than the Kalos one!
I'd agree, however, D/P/Pt was better for multiple reasons. 1: Experience. While Ash was good in both Animes, D/P/Pt Ash was using experience from Kanto all the way to Sinnoh, as he even brought back some of his all stars. You can see the growth, rather than in X/Y/Z, he was soft rebooted into an idiot in Best Wishes, and suddenly out of nowhere, he moves to Kalos and becomes a better mastermind ? 2: Team Building. D/P/Pt as I stated before, Ash used older pokemon. In X/Y/Z... he had a huge weakness to Ice, and never even thought about using older pokemon. In D/P/Pt, Ash lost, but he lost with Pikachu tied for a double Knock out with Latios, a Pokemon who has a huge advantage over Pikachu. In X/Y/Z, Ash Greninja lost to a Mega Chatizard X. Thats makes no sense
Well, I think that's why they made Ash lend Greninja to Zygarde. Ash never travels with previous gen pokemon. Greninja chose Ash to travel with him. Imagine sending it to Oak. It would have been dumb to do that. So it makes sense why they left Greninja behind. But Ash can always bring back Greninja.
Nah the lady in the Pokémon center told me that "I heard that pokémons are really comfortable inside of PCs and Pokéballs" so Greninja and the others are fine
I personally loved Alola I felt like it didn’t need to be as serious because it wasn’t the same thing as kalos kalos was a serious show because it was about the kalos league and serious character themes Alola ash didn’t have to be serious because there wasn’t really a league to worry about for the most part and was more a vacation like escapade during story arcs and the league arc it was more serious because they were serious things I don’t think ash regressed as a character I think it was just a different situation
Frankly speaking ash came closest to reality of what hardships it is required to reach his goal of Pokémon Master in xyz It feels like a huge betrayal after that in alola as it literally abandons the goal after all the proper hardships he suffered during kalos Looks like he took a vacation from all that
My top fave would also be the XY and XYZ series, not just because of the Pokemon and the characters, but because it was the 1st series I watched and literally just fell in love with watching Pokemon.
@@mmalikk_27 yes in the best wishes series he lost many times against Trip who just became a pokemon trainer and ash had already competed in 4 pokemon leagues before him
A haircut symbolizes letting go of a past life or past chapters and accepting new ones and a new life ahead. Think about when Zuko from A:TLA cut his hair, symbolizing the fact that they were now traitors of the fire nation and had to make a new and different life for themselves.
Brock will always be my favorite character in Pokémon, and the original will always be my favorite simply because it felt the least repetitive and also focused a lot more on the weaker Pokémon rather than the strongest ones
xy/xyz was the first pokemon anime i watched, that and plus of: -art style -clemont -bonnie -serena -ash greninja -ash -team rocket -epic final episodes -many more reasons is why it is my favorite pokemon anime and will always be my favorite pokemon anime
I loved XY and XYZ I fully watched both shows, but I have also forgotten it a bit because of how many years have passed I should probably rewatch it xd
man i am at the ending of diamond and pearl like only 15 episodes are remaining so i wanna ask u is pokemon black and white worth watching cuz looking at its reviews and story I don't think I shud watch it rather start xy directly so is it ok if I skip black and white ._.
@@giganigga249 it's not that good but some fights in later stages and some gyms are good to watch especially the guy who has hydriegon I think his name was Cameron and his fight with ash was good to watch
In Kalos ash was so mature and everything knowing how hard it is to become a pokemon master and in sun and moon he just took a whole vacation and the other characters too
I miss the x and y/ xyz gang so much Specially when i see ash and serena having fun and smiling its just joyful to watch....🙈 Hoping that they will bring back the x and y gang in the future just like misty and brock appeared in sun and moon...
As much as infernape vs electricity will forever be the best battle emotionally in the series. Greninja vs septile will always be the coolest looking one to me. The frenzy plant spam and the cut with greninja was so good
f1_stackz To follow its game style and keep XYZ presentation, that would be much MUCH better. In the game we see one school just once, and then the anime has to keep Ash on a school for the rest of the series and have unfitting art style with a slice of life that we didn’t want.
XY showed that the anime can be good - funny that Gamefreak now tries to convince us it's impossible, so it's not their fault at all!! NO! You can make a Good Anime!
@@slevinchannel7589he probably hates it because of the shipping. Personally I prefer DP over it cause none of the side characters other than Serena feel important, and Serena's arc isn't the Best. While in DP everything was perfect until the semi finals of the league. But it bounced back from that episode giving a neat conclusion. I don't hate X and Y tho just saying. It's no. 2 in my opinion
saumil padwal I basically have the same opinion overall I just enjoyed DP more than XY. Mainly because of the continuity it had, the characters were all good and Ash and Dawn were both equally the main characters.
I enjoyed sun and moon because ash wasn’t the main character developing,seeing him helping his friends develop and developing himself is quite a change which I love
season 1 will always be number 1 for me. mainly because i grew up with it. no season no matter how nice looking or whatever will replace it. im sure im alone on this and thats ok.
Diamond and Pearl was best in characters development and pokemon battle. But when mechanics xyz was the best of the best. I hope sword & shield can as good as they are..
Imagine, Kalos Ash and a Paul Rival with XYZ 3D graphics and a good storyline. Why is that so hard? Not to mention challenging gym leaders with actual type advantage and strategy.
Hoenn? I honestly find Sun and Moon the better season as it had very compelling stories and characters. The Pokémon are superb, with Torracat, Rowlet, and Lycanroc being amazing characters. The legendaries serving much greater purpose with Solgaleo and Lunala working together to stop Necrozma. And finally the fights with Ash vs Olivia, Ash vs Nanu, Ash vs Gladion round 3, and Ash vs Guzma being awesome spectacles
@@Rippen_Crippen thats true and i love sun and moon too! But i love hoenn more because it was my fist anime season and i find it very nostalgic, i love the pokemon (grovyle is my favourite) and i also love the lengendaries and evil teams The story was good too and may was very cool
Íris Msa I can understand, it holds sentimental value and to you and the anime was good in some instances. I honestly can’t go back to it due to Max and Team Rocket being much more annoying than later seasons. Grovels was cool tho and I loved Corphish and May’s character.
Leon Jones I guess your right, that first half though really made me mad. It hit its peak when Max got mad that Ash beat Norman and took the gym badge and cried. But then it did get somewhat better. I still don’t like him though lol
Damn right XY and XYZ is the best. 1. Serena 2. Bond phenomenon Greninja 3. Ash actually proving that he’s an experienced trainer 4. Serena 5.Good enemies 6. Epic final battle 7. Art style and older looking ash is godly 8. Not too long 9. Good companions 10. Battles were super detailed
11/17/19 it airs in Japan and is called "Pocket Monster" if this is actually true... saw a teaser here on youtube and there is also a picture on PokéWiki from Satoshi in his new outfit so I guess we will get another one next year?
Sinnoh is the best. In all ways, character developments, rivalries, Ash's Team, they had to introduce hacks to defeat him in the league, in which he didn't even use his strongest team, so can't say that he would have lost if he had used, Pikachu, Snorlax, Infernape, Charizard, Mr.Mime, Sceptile.
XY showed that the anime can be good - funny that Gamefreak now tries to convince us it's impossible, so it's not their fault at all!! NO! You can make a Good Anime!
@@slevinchannel7589 You just want ash to fail and laugh at him, People have their own opinions so keep yours to yourself amd dont attack others coz of their opinions
Tomi GT I don't know what youre Talking About, i want Ash to win the leage. I think that the anime can be great, but it is not yet. If i laugh About anything, it's Sun and Moon Ash - the Comedian side kick of Pikachu.
I loved XY and XYZ I hate sun and moon because ash lost all his character development from xyz which is so annoying. Ash in xyz was super strong which he is suppose to be because of his experience from his other journeys. IN CONCLUSION SUN AND MOON SUCKS.
Ash's character has been inconsistent since he stepped foot in Unova. Also, his Alola team is better than his Kalos team in almost every sense of the word. Every single one of Ash's Alola team save for Pikachu had either distinct personalities or character development. Litten and Rockruff both wanted to overcome their idols/rivals, Rowlet's adorable sleeping personality, Meltan's determination to be like Rowlet, etc. Sun and Moon also has some of the best animation in the entire series, especially in big climactic battles like Ash vs Kukui (arguably best battle in the anime's entire run). But where it really shines was the filler. Sun and Moon had some of the most fun filler to watch. The pancake race, the baseball episode, there's barely a dull moment with the crew. Also, Ash is still strong in Sun and Moon. Hell, I think he lost more in XYZ than he did in Sun and Moon. Sun and Moon is far from perfect, but it certainly does not suck. But that's just my opinion, which you can respectfully disagree with.
@@esteban8471 THANK YOU I feel like everyone hates sun and moon but really it's the best season! Kalos was awesome too, but in a different way! Everything you said I have to 100% agree with.
My favorite series was XYZ because of the story, characters, and the maturity but then I was really upset when I saw Sun and Moon it had a big downgrade in everything like characters and story with the exception of Lilly which seemed like the only character who actually grew as a character. I’m fine with Pokémon not being as mature as XY/XYZ but Sun and Moon is really cartoonish and kinda cheesy sometimes I haven’t seen Pokémon Journeys yet but I hope it’s at least better than Sun and Moon.
Well, All of the Alola friends returned, and Korrina returned, Ash caught the evolution of a blue, slender snake with wings on its head, and a popular ghost type that has a mega evolution. He also caught a small, blue, bipedal dog, which evolved into a bigger, blue bipedal dog, with spikes. He also caught a bird with a huge leek. Oh, and he's competing in the world championships, and he's also about to compete in the Champion's League, because he is the regional champ of Alola. His first matchup is against Steven, which i doubt will go well for our boy.
Kanto Ash was savage, sometimes dumb, silly like a kid, this was totally humourous and nostalgic. Ash was matured in XY but he was actually even in DP and Unova,I feel like people just overhyped XY and Karlos a lot due to Serena/ Ash. Sun and moon, Z moves was also a blast and alola region was also very nice. I like how Ash was shown as Ash in Alola, Poke- Journeys - his true personality, being funny, extroverted, silly like same of Kanto.
Yeah, they should have just replace him every series and have the old main characters make cameo appearances. How could would it have been to see an adult Ash from the first series appear in every series for one episode.
actually, there's progression between the first 4 regions. The thing is that Ash is completely resetted in BW XY and SM. At least in SM he progresses a little and in XY he really improves
M¡s¡mí if you watch the “reset” they have with the current new series, while there’s no mention so far of his past adventures other than the ho-oh sighting, the series actually acknowledges how good of a trainer ashe has become and he’s kicking literally everyone’s ass. 15 episodes in and pikachu almost beat the champions gigantamax charizard
I think it's called overrated because its fans are too defensive, but its good so of course it will have a defensive fanbase. I am one of those fans. But these days SM fans have taken the place, defending SM , that's fine but hating on XY to make SM look good is just *PATHETIC* imo.
My top picks are 6.Black and white. (Because it tried to recreate everything) 5. Original series ( it had too many fillers which are boring as hell specially in johto) 4.Advance(it was good and kinda fresh to see beside ash, may also had her own journey) 3.Sun and moon( although season1 was🗑 with no direction season2 and 3 were pretty good with 3 really good arcs with alola leauge arc best) 2.Diamond and pearl (the story of ash, paul and infernape was awesome, dawn was the first character that got same attention as ash and she got good contests too my only problem was too much fillers some time) 1. XYZ ( ash and animation were at it's best along with good battles ,enemies. My only problems were Pokemon performances were a big let down and kalos leauge felt rushed as we only saw 2 proper battles)
In reverse, I actually hope ash to stay young forever cause you know, *he is ash after all.* So my list would be: 1. Galar 2. Alola 3. Kalos The rest is trash cause ash in the series was trash. I am not here to praise side character, if ash is trash so does the series that he is in it.
SAME AND ALWAYS WILL BE... but I wish Ash had a little more character development according to romance 🤷🏽♀️ like a little relationship between him a Serena would have been really cool, but also not a big romantic relationship just a little one
Ima rank all the regions in the anime in my opinion (From Kanto to Unova and the battle frontier) 7. Unova 6. Orange Islands 5. Hoenn 4. Johto 3. Kanto (league) 2. Kanto (battle frontier) 1. Sinnoh
Now you're just pandering. As a gay man I'm going to tell you right now that if you think your comment will score you brownie points with anyone, you are wrong. And if you think thay the move "Attract" will effect a pokemon of the same gender as the user, you are also wrong. "Attract: If the target is the opposite gender of the Pokémon who launched the move, the target becomes infatuated. If the move is used on a Pokémon that is the same gender as the user, it will fail. It will also fail if used by or on a genderless Pokémon."

Ryolo Smacks ik the conversation is over but I also like the animation and design of ash the most. I’m not a long time, die hard fan but I have seen all the seasons and I like sun and moon the most. And whatever the new season is (journeys I think), I don’t like it’s design because I feel the eyes are too big lol
the thing is that sun and moon wasn't meant to be a reflection of the game but a reflection of everyday school life in the pokemon world you didn't just have these young teenagers walk off into the wilderness you had there own father figures and role models. and litten had the best back story as chimchar is just a repeat of charmander so nothing new. sun and moon was something which shows how the anime is changing like he games to this more open and happier enviroment.

The only problem of XY is the ending:

2. He and Serena are not together
Leaves Greninja
Dude, Ash is 10. Besides it was never gonna happen anyways, she'll just get ditched for the female companion
RoXasNova360 yeah i know
But that kiss tho
@RoXasNova360 he didnt just leave Greninja behind. Zygarde recruited Greninja to help hunt down the rest of the Red Zygarde that nearly destroyed everything. its power was still dormant under the ground and for some reason only Ash's Greninja could sense the malicious energy. The rest of the team was scattered though. Goodra went back to the marshes to make sure there was peace. Pikachu obviously went with Ash and i cant remember what happened to the others.

What's funny about this comment is the fact that towards the beginning of XY Serena questions how Nurse Joy got from one Pokemon center to another without passing her and Ash goes "but is that really the Nurse Joy you met on route 4?" So clearly at some point Ash figured this out.

man i watched whole 1000+ episodes in 1 months , i am not lying bu then tbh when xyz ended i felt so bad and i was littraly crying i dont care what everybody think but due to serenas romance this seires looked way better than any other any other , i wish if she returns and also the animation they had in xyz
You are very very very very very very...Right🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭
Feel you brother
Yeah , Serena had a major play in XY
Yeah but on the bright side ash has a Lucario now. I do want greninja and serena back tbh. As well as the old animation and all in all XYZ was awesome
I feel you man! I feel you.
I was so mad when the maturity of xyz was just thrown into the trash once they started sun and moon
Even though sun and moon have some of the most mature episodes of pokemon. But no it just looks wired that's all.
Xyz just had Ash be overly serious and boring and absolutely nothing like his Sinnoh self who actually had fun and actually had a personality
@@rorymac7179 he was a sweetheart the entire time, his fatherly relationship with kukui and his friends were the highlight of the show
@@rorymac7179 Bruh you're probs 15 sit down ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
SuMo the series is good in a vaccume (though seriously watch anything past DP and even DP itself with sub, not dub, the OST selection is way better,TPCI gimped way too much of the OST past late DP) the problem comes from the clash of moods between SuMo and XY, both good series in thier own right.
Xy and z and diamond and pearl i think are the best series nothing will surpass them
yES, AGREED!
Unless we get a S&S anime
@@mohammadmehmood3092 I think we will get a Sword and Sheild anime. I mean, it would been weird if they didn't make an anime for it....
Agreed
No I disagree.. In my opinion, Xyz and advance generation are the best

The frog you're talking about his name is Greninja. And the other one is Bond Phenomenon.
@@johnsantos507 yeah I think he knew that. But of he didn't knew then thanks
John Santos knew that bro
John Santos wooosh
Everybody take that in for a minute Greninja is ultra instinct Bond phenomenon Greninja is mastered ultra instant boys DRAGON BALL GRENINJA
XYZ was truly the best!
The only thing that I was upset about was Ash's loss in the Pokémon League: he had the perfect team, yet still lost to a Mega Charizard X...
We had waited for more than 18 Seasons for Ash to finally win a League, but no!
Still, it's such a good continuation to the anime, all the characters feel fresh and multi-layered, Ash is a mature badass and not a brain-dead child, and all of his Pokémon had the chance to shine at least once!
Yeah if they had given Ash a victory in kalos instead of Alola then it would be more reasonable because Ash seems like he is more practicing then actually battling seriously in battles
he won the league now
@@wandering_alaska I do agree with your statement that he should've won the kalos league insted of alola. But i think if he did win at kalos he would've had to win in alola since it's a newer league and there's not much competition.
But yeh, frankly i think he should've won at kalos for how great the series was, it would've been a cherry on top. And also i think i would've enjoyed the kalos win more than the world tournament win.
Wow
Mega Charizard X was a force of nature, it was going to win
Having a war between team plasma and team rocket would have been awesome
Yeah, it's a shame real world events caused the entire plot to be scraped.

@@Snikxers The 2011 earthquake and tsunami that hit in March, as well as the resulting Fukshamia nuclear crisis. The planned Team Plasma v.s. Team Rocket two parter had to be scraped because it was too similar in nature to what happened.

ASH SHOULD'VE WON THE SINNOH LEAGUE HANDS DOWN IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT CHEAT SPAMMING LEGENDARIES

It was a very close match in the Kalos league finals but in the end Alan's Mega Charizard X's experience in battle made the difference
@@saminyasar2659 yes but the rest of Alan's team came out of nowhere making him super BS
@@The_Evening_Sun Alan is basically XY's Tobias, an excuse to make Ash lose. But whatever, still loved the XY series and really really really miss it. I get sad watching the first (japanese) opening of XY knowing what Sun and Moon is like. Hopefully Sword and Shield anime is like XY (and Serena visits at least!).
@@saminyasar2659 counter point is that Alain should have lost due to the rest of his team having no combat experience with him cause he only uses charizard
So trueee bro, a Darkrai and Latios wth, honestly with Greninja vs Mega Charizard was more even and I think that Ash should have won with that last attack. I'm still mad 😡
I agree 100%. greninja was the best in xyz and infernape in dp had an amazing story. two of ash's BEST pokemon
Well yes but no
I like Ash more in xyz where he feels mature unlike sun and moon
Petersquad this is exactly what I was thinking. I loved xyz and the animations and the charcaters but then the characters went into a shithole and the animations got worse even though before that series, it had gotten better over time. Hell, I think b and w was better. And too much comedy. And the comedy was not that good.
@@Peterdubs god damn i can't stand sun and moon. love the game, hate the series. how can they fuck up the maturity and amazing animation of xyz or even d&p for the childish shit. ash looks younger than when he first started. no way in hell he can still be 10 years old after that many journeys
@@AndrewHoangOfficialChannel By technicality, Greninja isn't Ashes Pokemon at the moment.
It MIGHT return, but it's protecting Kalos for now.
I personally had zero problems with the animation from the first series. Maybe it’s because I was there when a lot of those episodes first debuted on American TV. But I’ve been watching it again today and I’d say it still holds up.
The first series was pretty bad compared to later generations. It’s so hard to watch and get in to. Gen 2-4 were amazing however. But Ash was a complete loser in the first generation. And his rivalry with Gary wasn’t anything compared to his rivalry with Paul. I guess I don’t see what’s so special about the first series.
@@keltdood the animation isnt great, vut it was just starting out, and as q kid i loved it. Granted, i'd only ever seen the gen 1 and gen 6 animes at that point, but it was one of my favorite childhood shows
@@keltdood i respect your opinion but the reason ash was a loser is because its the beginning of his journey of course your gonna suck at the start ya know
I agree. I personally think anything after Diamond & Pearl is childish cringe material. The original and diamond & pearl are the best two series. And if Generation counted, that would be my third pick..
XY/XY&Z wasn't just a kids show, it was a full-blown shounen, just watch it with the shounen anime checklist and see how many boxes it fills, right down to the main character is oblivious to several VERY obvious advances of their female companions

Mojo1356 but if he wins he cannot be a Pokemon master
@@bensmchung6677 bruh he just saying ash needs to take that w
To be honest, I don't find it that bad. He never won against Alain anyway.
To be fair Alain is not some random dude in the league, he is definitely a strong trainer
Mojo1356 no Alain used a 300 damage fire attack and was an incredibly powerful trainer it was justified
Iris: “how many time will it take to learn attract won’t work between girls”
LGBT community: hold my beer
I THOUGHT THAT TOO
Hey this is my joke lol
Stolen
Hold my rights
at least it's logical considering that only humans happen to be capable of same-sex attraction
The perfect pokemon series to me would be one that:
1. Has appearances of past characters like Brock, misty, dawn, etc.
2. Ash and other characters are mature like in X/Y
3. Story has good plot and character progression throughout with minimal filler.
4. Make battles more shounen-esc and hype like end of D/P or X/Y
5. Have ash bring back his old pokemon like in D/P for the pokemon league.
6. Basically just combine Diamond & Pearl with X & Y and you'll have an amazing show.
Let's pray for the Sword and Shield anime to be like this
Ryan Hazley and bring back Paul
Not bad idea I actually like the combining all the good things in diamond and pearl, xy/xyz sounds like an amazing pokemon series
But misty is trash
Yes! Oh, and for once, a female lead who actually BATTLED. The only two female trainers were Misty and Iris. Iris was just flat out annoying and bad, while just as Misty was finally showing potential, the show cuts her off. And nobody speaks of Sun and Moon.

-an actual good team
-good companions
-good rivals
-he almost won the league but lost to legendaries ( I can see why he lost)
-good enemies

If it wasn't there I would've flipped tables.
I have a lot of nostalgia for the Black and White anime. I used to watch reruns of Diamond and Pearl but Best Wishes is when I watched it weekly (most of the time) I had no idea people say it's bad but now I get it.
Pokémon DP
191 Episodes yeah it’s long
Also pokémon DP: Yeah Tobias has like 6 legendaries
Why is darkrai free in series X&Y?
You can never have to much dp
MobileGaming CZ there are more darkrai, its not a legendary, but a mythical pokemon

XYZ was awesome but it felt rushed, especially during the league. Diamond and Pearl had a lot of filler but the characters were fully fleshed out and consistent. Plus, the league was far better if you forget Tobias.
The league was just cap. It was like just throw those legendaries to make ash lose. Latias and darkrai on the same team felt totally bullshit as legendaries are supposed to be very very very rare to find and have those special abilities that they can use to flee like we saw with suicune and entei and even ho oh
@@roblox_is_cringe351 That’s why I said don’t count Tobias. That one fight doesn’t change the rest of the league, which was awesome.
The Kalos league was bad, I agree. However, that Ash v Sawyer battle is my fav Pokemon battle. Also, the rest of XY was amazing and the Team Flare arc was the best pokemon anime arc imo

XxGod_Mode_OnxX 11 imagine ash-pikachu XD
Por eso despidieron al director dd XYZ
Totally
I love that season
But I really wish that serena could have went with ash to kanto
XYZ's animation was top, the music, the story...it made me remember how good D/P was and heck it was even better. Sad it all went to the garbage once Sun and Moon started
@TheBoltMaster People have opinions, I admit I didn't watch Sun and Moon because the animation didn't convince me and neither did the pokemon themselves. As for the 12 year old fangirl, I'll let you think that's my age and ignore the rest of the comment. Don't attack people because they prefer something different than you do, have a good day.
@TheBoltMaster Imagine forcing yourself to watch over 10 episodes of something you find absolutely sh*t just in case it gets good during the finale. That is just torture for the sake of if you have to defend why you hate the first 10 episodes.
The animation: A lot of people say Sun&Moon animation is more fluid, better, and such, and I honestly couldn't even tell much of a difference. It's just a bit slower for the sake of fluidity. But XYZ just had some of the most beautiful looking scenes ever like Serena cutting her hair, or Greninja leaving Ash.
The music: Literally the Ash Greninja Theme or Iku-Z, is so good and iconic, that they used it for Torracat and Incineroar.
The Story: Depends what you're into.
I don't care what anyone says. I am so glad I grew up in my childhood with Pokemon Gen 5 by my side, Unova was my childhood and forever will be my favourite Pokemon anime, generation and region. I love EVERYTHING about the Pokemon anime, maybe that is just nostalgia getting in the way, but I genuinely loved that anime so much, including the characters and stories.
Mine was advanced battle and battle frontier
To me, diamond and pearl and xy/xyz series are in the same rank, because I just can't choose one
Paul makes D&P better imo, such a great character and easily the best rival
They are both great, I like more xy it made me as exited as I was when I saw pokemon during my childhood.
@@CJ-wj5ol I found all the characters in xy extremely annoying with the exception of maybe Serena. At least dp doesnt make me want to rip my ears off the second someone opens their mouth
@@PoketechShraeder Paul is so much better than all the other rivals, that is not even funny, is two 6 vs 6 with Ash are still my top 2 battles of the anime... The Shinno league was also alot better than the Kalos one!
I'd agree, however, D/P/Pt was better for multiple reasons.
1: Experience. While Ash was good in both Animes, D/P/Pt Ash was using experience from Kanto all the way to Sinnoh, as he even brought back some of his all stars. You can see the growth, rather than in X/Y/Z, he was soft rebooted into an idiot in Best Wishes, and suddenly out of nowhere, he moves to Kalos and becomes a better mastermind ?
2: Team Building. D/P/Pt as I stated before, Ash used older pokemon. In X/Y/Z... he had a huge weakness to Ice, and never even thought about using older pokemon. In D/P/Pt, Ash lost, but he lost with Pikachu tied for a double Knock out with Latios, a Pokemon who has a huge advantage over Pikachu. In X/Y/Z, Ash Greninja lost to a Mega Chatizard X. Thats makes no sense
Diamond and Pearl made me start watching the series. Black and White made me stop watching the series.

Hey I like black and white ..........
The sad thing is that greninja is going to rot in a computer after he gets him back
Well, I think that's why they made Ash lend Greninja to Zygarde. Ash never travels with previous gen pokemon. Greninja chose Ash to travel with him. Imagine sending it to Oak. It would have been dumb to do that. So it makes sense why they left Greninja behind. But Ash can always bring back Greninja.
Dont do that. Dont give me hope
Nah the lady in the Pokémon center told me that "I heard that pokémons are really comfortable inside of PCs and Pokéballs" so Greninja and the others are fine
Actually, they don't go in computers in the show. They go to the professor hanging out with other pokemon.
And I don't think Greninja or any XYZ characters should come back.
I personally loved Alola I felt like it didn’t need to be as serious because it wasn’t the same thing as kalos kalos was a serious show because it was about the kalos league and serious character themes Alola ash didn’t have to be serious because there wasn’t really a league to worry about for the most part and was more a vacation like escapade during story arcs and the league arc it was more serious because they were serious things I don’t think ash regressed as a character I think it was just a different situation
Yup mine favourite is alola and the last fight between tapukoko and pikachu was awesome!!!❤❤❤

@@صهيبسالم-ي5م Yes. Insult people with different tastes than you. How classy!

Was Alain really that great a character? I always thought of him as just another Tobias whose sole purpose was to prevent Ash from winning a league.
in itself all XYZ characters are bad only Clemont and Binnie are good and a little shotta the rest are very overrated
Alain actually had a backstory unlike tobias who came out of nowhere with his darkrai to destroy ash
Alain was literally introduced before Ash was, and had the most growth of any of Ash's rivals

Brock will always be my favorite character in Pokémon, and the original will always be my favorite simply because it felt the least repetitive and also focused a lot more on the weaker Pokémon rather than the strongest ones

Diamond and pearl did that before x and y
X and Y was the worst
Lolayuni Why that? Almost no one dislikes it. Can you tell my why? But anyway, it's still a fact the anime could be good, so it should be good.
@@slevinchannel7589he probably hates it because of the shipping. Personally I prefer DP over it cause none of the side characters other than Serena feel important, and Serena's arc isn't the Best. While in DP everything was perfect until the semi finals of the league. But it bounced back from that episode giving a neat conclusion. I don't hate X and Y tho just saying. It's no. 2 in my opinion
saumil padwal I basically have the same opinion overall I just enjoyed DP more than XY. Mainly because of the continuity it had, the characters were all good and Ash and Dawn were both equally the main characters.
Totally agree. I love XY. Literally clemont is one of my favorite characters
I like all
it’s serena time. Edit: thx for the 2 likes 😸 i dont gets much likes
I like Serena the most and she is my favorite poke girl
Yeah
Love him to!!!🥺❤️❤️❤️
I stopped watching sun and moon because Ash lost his character development
I stopped watching long before then, and I'm glad I did. Sun and Moon, I just can't look past the horribly downgraded animation.
Sun and Moon is better than BW. But I those two were the worse anime
@@darvelgeorge6110 Bw is better for one reason team rocket were badasses
I hope the the sword and shield anime will be better than sun and moon
I enjoyed sun and moon because ash wasn’t the main character developing,seeing him helping his friends develop and developing himself is quite a change which I love
season 1 will always be number 1 for me. mainly because i grew up with it. no season no matter how nice looking or whatever will replace it. im sure im alone on this and thats ok.
You're definitely not alone on this, I'm 100% with you!! Seasons 1-5 for the win 🤩!!
Diamond and Pearl was best in characters development and pokemon battle.
But when mechanics xyz was the best of the best.
I hope sword & shield can as good as they are..
I want sword and shield to be the confident ash from kalos
if he isnt boycott
I want the previous animation to be back with Serena and Kalos Ash
Imagine, Kalos Ash and a Paul Rival with XYZ 3D graphics and a good storyline. Why is that so hard? Not to mention challenging gym leaders with actual type advantage and strategy.
@@karmadarkyt3169 that would be freaking awesome!!
Pokemon sun and moon was the worst of all the series cuz of the art style its was just terrible
Imo xyz was the best, then diamond and pearl and the 3rd spot goes to hoenn
Hoenn? I honestly find Sun and Moon the better season as it had very compelling stories and characters. The Pokémon are superb, with Torracat, Rowlet, and Lycanroc being amazing characters. The legendaries serving much greater purpose with Solgaleo and Lunala working together to stop Necrozma. And finally the fights with Ash vs Olivia, Ash vs Nanu, Ash vs Gladion round 3, and Ash vs Guzma being awesome spectacles
@@Rippen_Crippen thats true and i love sun and moon too! But i love hoenn more because it was my fist anime season and i find it very nostalgic, i love the pokemon (grovyle is my favourite) and i also love the lengendaries and evil teams
The story was good too and may was very cool
Íris Msa I can understand, it holds sentimental value and to you and the anime was good in some instances. I honestly can’t go back to it due to Max and Team Rocket being much more annoying than later seasons. Grovels was cool tho and I loved Corphish and May’s character.
@@Rippen_Crippen You're right about Team Rocket being annoying. But as for Max, he was only annoying in the first half of the Hoenn saga.
Leon Jones I guess your right, that first half though really made me mad. It hit its peak when Max got mad that Ash beat Norman and took the gym badge and cried. But then it did get somewhat better. I still don’t like him though lol
I loved x&y and i actually cried when serena cut her hair😅
Yes xyz is the best
I think her hair cut is so cute
But xyz is and always will be the best season
@@Moon-qx6zk yea
@@Moon-qx6zk pokemon journeys has potential to be better
My list
1: Kalos
2: Sinnoh
3: Hoenn
4: Kanto
5: Jhoto
6: Unova
7: Alola
Unovo sucks very much
I...actually agree.
The kalos region had the best openings in my opinion.
They copid season 1 song
Seriously, why not gen 1
The second Kalos region song.
And the third.
Mr. Sharky no way advanced and johto had the best
Damn right XY and XYZ is the best.
1. Serena
2. Bond phenomenon Greninja
3. Ash actually proving that he’s an experienced trainer
4. Serena
5.Good enemies
6. Epic final battle
7. Art style and older looking ash is godly
8. Not too long
9. Good companions
10. Battles were super detailed
I think Amourshipping was supposed to be in #4
MidKnightShade
Thanks for writing that.
I miss it so much.
Wow you kept xy on top because of that stupid Serena.
Shit.
But where do I watch xyz like they removed it from Netflix sadly
Lil Tim
You can watch it in watchcartoononline.com
Who's here when the Gen 8 anime was announced and y'all know what that means
joker in smash wait I’m confused what does that mean? Is ash greninja coming back?
It means another girl
New worst season coming probbly
11/17/19 it airs in Japan and is called "Pocket Monster" if this is actually true... saw a teaser here on youtube and there is also a picture on PokéWiki from Satoshi in his new outfit so I guess we will get another one next year?
Gen 8 looks way better than gen 7.
Sinnoh is the best. In all ways, character developments, rivalries, Ash's Team, they had to introduce hacks to defeat him in the league, in which he didn't even use his strongest team, so can't say that he would have lost if he had used, Pikachu, Snorlax, Infernape, Charizard, Mr.Mime, Sceptile.
I love xy and xyz it is best series
XY showed that the anime can be good - funny that Gamefreak now tries to convince us it's impossible, so it's not their fault at all!! NO! You can make a Good Anime!
@@slevinchannel7589 You just want ash to fail and laugh at him, People have their own opinions so keep yours to yourself amd dont attack others coz of their opinions
Tomi GT I don't know what youre Talking About, i want Ash to win the leage. I think that the anime can be great, but it is not yet. If i laugh About anything, it's Sun and Moon Ash - the Comedian side kick of Pikachu.
u guys are all weird indigo league is the best
Slevin Channel Game Freak has nothing to do with the anime, they make the games not the anime.
I loved XY and XYZ I hate sun and moon because ash lost all his character development from xyz which is so annoying. Ash in xyz was super strong which he is suppose to be because of his experience from his other journeys. IN CONCLUSION SUN AND MOON SUCKS.
Ash's character has been inconsistent since he stepped foot in Unova. Also, his Alola team is better than his Kalos team in almost every sense of the word. Every single one of Ash's Alola team save for Pikachu had either distinct personalities or character development. Litten and Rockruff both wanted to overcome their idols/rivals, Rowlet's adorable sleeping personality, Meltan's determination to be like Rowlet, etc.
Sun and Moon also has some of the best animation in the entire series, especially in big climactic battles like Ash vs Kukui (arguably best battle in the anime's entire run). But where it really shines was the filler. Sun and Moon had some of the most fun filler to watch. The pancake race, the baseball episode, there's barely a dull moment with the crew.
Also, Ash is still strong in Sun and Moon. Hell, I think he lost more in XYZ than he did in Sun and Moon.
Sun and Moon is far from perfect, but it certainly does not suck. But that's just my opinion, which you can respectfully disagree with.
@@esteban8471 you can write a book about that. But it still sucks
@@achraf725 Believe what you will. I sure as hell won't tell you to change your mind.
lemcnqide EXACTLY
@@esteban8471 THANK YOU I feel like everyone hates sun and moon but really it's the best season! Kalos was awesome too, but in a different way! Everything you said I have to 100% agree with.
My favorite series was XYZ because of the story, characters, and the maturity but then I was really upset when I saw Sun and Moon it had a big downgrade in everything like characters and story with the exception of Lilly which seemed like the only character who actually grew as a character. I’m fine with Pokémon not being as mature as XY/XYZ but Sun and Moon is really cartoonish and kinda cheesy sometimes I haven’t seen Pokémon Journeys yet but I hope it’s at least better than Sun and Moon.
Well,
All of the Alola friends returned, and Korrina returned, Ash caught the evolution of a blue, slender snake with wings on its head, and a popular ghost type that has a mega evolution. He also caught a small, blue, bipedal dog, which evolved into a bigger, blue bipedal dog, with spikes. He also caught a bird with a huge leek. Oh, and he's competing in the world championships, and he's also about to compete in the Champion's League, because he is the regional champ of Alola. His first matchup is against Steven, which i doubt will go well for our boy.
True
@@geralyn7141 yes indeed
well he haves like 10 or 12 years old dont be a idiot and expect ash to be childish because HES A FUCKING KID
i seen all the episode to the original to the black and white but i hate black and white
Kanto Ash was savage, sometimes dumb, silly like a kid, this was totally humourous and nostalgic. Ash was matured in XY but he was actually even in DP and Unova,I feel like people just overhyped XY and Karlos a lot due to Serena/ Ash. Sun and moon, Z moves was also a blast and alola region was also very nice. I like how Ash was shown as Ash in Alola, Poke- Journeys - his true personality, being funny, extroverted, silly like same of Kanto.
OH MY GOD FINALLY SOMEONE-
I have the EXACT same opinion, great video.
Same
@@Ellfar l
The thing that bothers me he most is that every time he goes to a new region, he forgets everything.
Also that he’s been 10 years old for years now...
Yeah, they should have just replace him every series and have the old main characters make cameo appearances. How could would it have been to see an adult Ash from the first series appear in every series for one episode.
actually, there's progression between the first 4 regions. The thing is that Ash is completely resetted in BW XY and SM. At least in SM he progresses a little and in XY he really improves
M¡s¡mí if you watch the “reset” they have with the current new series, while there’s no mention so far of his past adventures other than the ho-oh sighting, the series actually acknowledges how good of a trainer ashe has become and he’s kicking literally everyone’s ass. 15 episodes in and pikachu almost beat the champions gigantamax charizard
Maxsib _ he is the same ash, you see his trophies in episode 2
“xYz iS oVeRaTeD!”
NOT overrated! It’s easily the all time best Pokémon series out there.
My words exactly.
I think it's called overrated because its fans are too defensive, but its good so of course it will have a defensive fanbase. I am one of those fans.
But these days SM fans have taken the place, defending SM , that's fine but hating on XY to make SM look good is just *PATHETIC* imo.
@@leulight2892 I love the way you think, Bro. And yeah, you're right about that.
XYZ and DP are the Best.
@@TakaoEdits *FACTS*
My top picks are
6.Black and white. (Because it tried to recreate everything)
5. Original series ( it had too many fillers which are boring as hell specially in johto)
4.Advance(it was good and kinda fresh to see beside ash, may also had her own journey)
3.Sun and moon( although season1 was🗑 with no direction season2 and 3 were pretty good with 3 really good arcs with alola leauge arc best)
2.Diamond and pearl (the story of ash, paul and infernape was awesome, dawn was the first character that got same attention as ash and she got good contests too my only problem was too much fillers some time)
1. XYZ ( ash and animation were at it's best along with good battles ,enemies. My only problems were Pokemon performances were a big let down and kalos leauge felt rushed as we only saw 2 proper battles)
For me
1 Kalos
2 Sinnoh
3 Hoenn
4 Kanto
6 Johto
7 Alola
So there ain't no unova
Olga Tz no number 5?
In reverse, I actually hope ash to stay young forever cause you know, *he is ash after all.*
So my list would be:
1. Galar
2. Alola
3. Kalos
The rest is trash cause ash in the series was trash. I am not here to praise side character, if ash is trash so does the series that he is in it.
Galar is better than sm but way way worse than XY/DP
@@heyitssukichan6323 DP has better side character but main character is still trash, so, yeah.
Pokemon xy was the series that got me into Pokemon!It will always be number 1 for me!
yeah it was actually my first anime, out of pokemon xy is my favorite
SAME AND ALWAYS WILL BE... but I wish Ash had a little more character development according to romance 🤷🏽♀️ like a little relationship between him a Serena would have been really cool, but also not a big romantic relationship just a little one
@@sydneym9178 pokemon didn't do that on purpose because a lot of kids are watching it. But I still think it isn't that big of a deal.
Achraf El Bachir I know, I don’t think it’s a big deal either, I never said it was.
Nobody:
White girls during a minor inconvenience:
8:34
HAHAHA
AHAHAHA WHAT
Kinda rude but I think serena was being really dramatic
lol
Ima rank all the regions in the anime in my opinion (From Kanto to Unova and the battle frontier)
7. Unova
6. Orange Islands
5. Hoenn
4. Johto
3. Kanto (league)
2. Kanto (battle frontier)
1. Sinnoh
I am at the end of sinnoh should i watch unova is it important cuz i wanna skip to xy ._.
I'm happy to see Pokémon Diamond and Pearl so high on the list!
*I BET you are.
Same!
Sameee my all time fav, I rate it above x and y
@@fade9209 can we agree that diamond and pearl, xy and xyz are the best Pokemon season ever
@@blackbulls8783 yea definitely! black and white made me stop watching Pokemon But xy made me love watching Pokemon again.
The attract example doesn't show Ash is stupid, it shows he's progressive. It's 2019, girls can attract girls ;)
of course, Soy in the name would not have seen that coming...
@@ElementVoidX Take the banter and stopped being so triggered by everything you tit
@@s0ydivision396 i am not triggered, that is your job lol
ElementVoidX solid response mate. Definitely saved face on that one 👌🏼
Now you're just pandering. As a gay man I'm going to tell you right now that if you think your comment will score you brownie points with anyone, you are wrong. And if you think thay the move "Attract" will effect a pokemon of the same gender as the user, you are also wrong. "Attract: If the target is the opposite gender of the Pokémon who launched the move, the target becomes infatuated. If the move is used on a Pokémon that is the same gender as the user, it will fail. It will also fail if used by or on a genderless Pokémon."
XY /XYZ is definitely BEST pokemon anime ever
No the 2nd one the best is the DP serie
@@allmight2926 Will Burke is actually right. It's the other way around.
But I do believe he repects your *OPINION.*
Lies
Really,?
Nah, DP is WAYYYY better
And its so amazing to see serena blush everytime something when something special happens😅😊😜
yeah i feel the same
I increase my headphone volume to hear what is going to happen more clearly 😂
We all know XYZ is the best especially for shipping ;)
Shipping is good, but it also has good story, development and Ash was just badass...
Amourshipping was the reason to keep watching it and watching some intense battles with great animation.
No
they're kids
Thank you. You have the same choice as me. I loved the sinnoh league very much and also the XY series but I love both of them I am subscribing
The XY series was so good, I watched every episode of it.
Same I got hyped when theres was a new episode every saturday
I seriously just rewatched all of xy and xyz just a few days ago👍👍
Best series
Calvin Matthews Same here, Dude.
haha same... I didn't watch just 3 episodes lol
My main problem with sun and moon is how no one is serious.
It’s joke after joke after joke 99% of the time
Going into this I had only one thought..
XY&Z better be number 1.
Hell no
Exactly it has to be #1
Always
Oh and best girl is Serena fight me
Remember the time when she disguised herself as ash and held out just so that he didnt battle when he was sick.
Ash♥️Serena

Man I loved watching Diamond and Pearl. Sinnoh is just the best all around.
Me 2, I have a huge nostalgia factor for it. I didn't ever think anyone could surpass it, unless XY came around lol.
AGREED
XY is overrated to the point is edgy af
@@cirice3997 It was about time someone called XY overrated to make DP look better
By now, Nintendo pretends like XY/ XYZ doesn’t exist and they just keep making Sun and moon episodes even though no one wants it.
I like sun and moon...
@@BRYANS20 yes sun and moon is good, but if they just keep going with Sun and Moon forever it becomes boring.
Ryolo Smacks ik the conversation is over but I also like the animation and design of ash the most. I’m not a long time, die hard fan but I have seen all the seasons and I like sun and moon the most. And whatever the new season is (journeys I think), I don’t like it’s design because I feel the eyes are too big lol
@@BRYANS20 lol it's okay to like sun and moon, I love some of the Pokemons from sun and moon.
the thing is that sun and moon wasn't meant to be a reflection of the game but a reflection of everyday school life in the pokemon world you didn't just have these young teenagers walk off into the wilderness you had there own father figures and role models. and litten had the best back story as chimchar is just a repeat of charmander so nothing new. sun and moon was something which shows how the anime is changing like he games to this more open and happier enviroment.
Great review, Animated Ginger. I haven't been on the bandwagon since Hoenn, so it's nice to gain insight on later seasons...
