[@Alipoke658]

Pokemon XY was where I started as a Pokemon fan, Greninja actually led me into this series, my first time seeing him in super smash bros, got so interested in him, and very easily became my main in smash bros, and since at that time as a kid I was obsessed with youtube, which lead me to the series, at that time I didn't know anything about the sun and moon games during the xyz anime, I didn't even know the games existed, so I was able to see awesome things for the first time in the anime as my experience, like zygarde's forms, and the most satisfying for me, seeing episode 25 where at the end of Ash-Greninja vs Mega Gardevoir, Ash-Greninja broke open from the water and formed a big water shuriken on the back, was just so satisfying for me, especially with the awesome Iku Z theme in the background, this is my favorite pokemon series alongside diamond and pearl, and I miss the golden days of xyz

[@jbcatz5]

The inter-personal relationships of the main group shine and they all have a unique dynamic with each other. Ash and Serena goes without saying, he admires Clement and shares a wanderlust with Bonnie. Serena is a big sister to Bonnie, who has great sibling moments with Clement. Previous series have felt like Ash is the glue keeping the group together for how little the others interacted on a personal level (tell me one unique thing about Brock and Dawn’s relationship that isn’t him explaining what’s happening in battle). You could put any two of the XY group in a situation just them two and have a good time.

[@JNSC_18]

yeah agreed

[@dannytroutman2329]

XY group? Nah, XY family.

[@Dan-wd1xs]

I’m sorry, I love the XY group and their chemistry but there’s one interaction you didn’t mention: Serena & Clemont. And that’s because their relationship is just on the borderline of being a Dawn & Brock relationship. So this group ain’t perfect either.

[@jbcatz5]

@@Dan-wd1xs Might be controversial but I think the Brock and Misty relationship might be even worse than the Brock and Dawn relationship as since they’re both gym leaders there’s less battlefield exposition Brock has to deliver. On a character and story level the original trio just doesn’t do much for me and I don’t have any nostalgia for them. My two favourite groups are DP and XY.

Take me back to 2014-2016, when everyone on KZbin and Twitter were obsessed with the "coolest Pokémon anime" and we were analyzing, theorizing and waiting for the next episode/Amourshipping moment/evolution/magazine scan. Amazing times were had. And yes, I'm still salty Ash lost the Kalos League even if the League itself (as a competition) was poor.

Journey also still have a lot of potential to be had too (further development of other Pokémon beside the LucaAce pair, the entire tournament arc, the development of Chloe, the development of Ash, the Ash’s All-Star Team, etc...). It’s still have a lot of room to either go really good or really bad, so you can’t really judge them right now

[@justicemorgan7707]

[@davidanthonymercado7064]

Honestly, as upsetting as Ash losing the Kalos league was, I believe it was his most respectful league loss.

[@narxmagee727]

Me too. Alain was built up to be a powerful trainer. we got to see him grow instead of having some rando trainer come out of nowhere just to be "powerful dude that beats Ash" or just have it be even worse than that somehow with Kanto and Unova. Definitely most respectable league loss.

[@Dan-wd1xs]

Let’s go through the previous losses: - indigo: so anticlimactic - Johto: I mean it was clearly set up for the next region but the battle was great - hoenn: a meowth, really?! At least he lost to the champion - sinnoh: unforgivable - unova: embarrassing So either this, Johto or Hoenn imo

[@jbcatz5]

I think Johto was more respectful. Ash gave Harrison a great run for his money, and the match was so close Blaziken couldn’t fight in the next round. Ash has met his goal of defeating Gary in battle so he still had a great achievement under his belt. There was a lot more hype around Ash winning the Kalos League, with the Ash-Greninja form and the perception of Alain as a Mary Sue didn’t help. Unlike Johto or Sinnoh Ash didn’t have as meaningful a long term rivalry resolved in previous rounds and the Team Flare arc overshadowed the League anyway.

[@carsonkbelt17]

Oh definitely he deserved to lose but I really wanted him to win

[@anothergamer112]

Honestly, they could've changed probably two minutes worth of animation and a paragraphs worth of dialogue to have Ash win. Everything leading up to the final clash was done well enough that nothing else really needed to change.

[@shupershanic1905]

34:00 Ok, here's the thing. Clembot is still technically dead as you were to say, erase a person's entire life from their memories, you basically killed them. Not in body, but in mind, as memories make up a person's identity, and it would have been pretty dumb if Clement just left Clembot broken when he could just rebuild him.

As funny as it may sound, I wholeheartedly agree that the pacing for Kalos was honestly not the best despite being one of my favorites, not to mention that I was quite disappointed on how they treated Noivern and Goodra during the league. I am not mad that Ash lost against Alain however that can’t be said for the way Greninja lost, even in Japan, the fans were just as upset and to make things worse in the second to last episode, the way Greninja was released and the reasoning behind was honestly a mixed bag for me because i respect Greninja for being protector of Kalos in which sounds good on paper but from a narrative perspective felt extremely forced and it honestly made me more sad than angry. The only minor thing that I enjoyed was that Xerosic battle but aside from that, that episode was quite meh in my humble opinion and I honestly understand that Goodra’s releases felt kinda rushed but at least, it was more understandable and handled better than Greninja’s.

I was definitely surprised that you didn’t like how Greninja left, Zac. Yes, it sucks that they did it at all, but I like the idea of Greninja helping to keep the peace with a Legendary. That’s a huge honor for an Ash Pokémon. Besides, it’s not a forever goodbye. Once all the vines are gone for good, you know he’ll be back.

[@narxmagee727]

It's a high and very respectable honour but it felt so unneeded and forced. Zygarde was supposed to have disposed of all the vines and I just feel they didn't give a good enough reason why they're still here. It just felt like they were trying to get rid of Greninja when they didn't really need to. Ash was gonna start fresh either way so they didn't need to worry about Greninja sticking around and claiming house. Though I will concede that being the protector of Kalos is a pretty cool title to have.

[@eljordinio7647]

I guess, but seeing zygarde praise greninja's strength would have been more than enough. Like Zac said, this was just forced and there was literally no reason to do this. We were nearly at the end of the series anyway, and we get no explanation y only greninja can see the vines and not zygarde, when it was the one that created those vines in the first place. Releasing it was just BS, as was goodra getting released AGAIN. They brought it back, let it stay and go to oak's with the others, and greninja.

You're lucky because those three are all good (Journeys less so, but I haven't seen much).

Journeys is still going on and every episode it saddens me to see all the missed potential of it, you got 8 regions and 20+ old companions and it does nothing with it, goh just catches everything so why care, anyone that's not a pikachu or lucario or aceburn get no screentime and like 80% of the episodes take place in either Kanto or johto and its even trying to finish the plot point from sm but it hasn't even touched on that in 20+ episodes already

This series made Ash a good character again. It was much better than how the BW series handeled him

[@animetechnoblade1009]

15:00 Looking back at this Zac, I’ll defend Max here on one of these points when compared to Bonnie. I think the reason why Max didn’t get the kind of treatment Bonnie got in terms of Pokémon interaction was due to the fact that May was a rookie trainer while Clemons’s a full fledged gym leader. After all, Clemont was already a well experienced Pokémon trainer by the time XY started due to being a gym leader, and as such, catching Pokémon wasn’t one of the priorities for his character during XY. Because of that, it gives Bonnie’s character room to have her brother catch her Dedenne to take care of so she can get first hand experience as an aspiring trainer. Max on the other hand doesn’t get this luxury for his character. May was a brand new trainer at the start of the Advanced series, and soon enough became interested in Contests. Unlike Clemont, May had a particular goal for her character to progress towards alongside Ash’s badge quests, so she doesn’t have the luxury of giving Max a Pokémon when she needs to spend time catching Pokémon for herself to use towards Contests. Another good difference between Max and Bonnie is that Max outdoes Bonnie *intellectually* as an aspiring trainer. While Bonnie has practical experience by actually using Dedenne and interacting with Pokémon more, Max has intellectual experience with Pokémon by researching them in books, knowing well about their abilities, typing and characteristics. As well as having his father as a gym leader.

[@akshatsharma9740]

and zygarde promised bonnie to join her when she becomes 10 so she will be one of the strongest trainers..

[@CrayRT]

I will say, something I love about XY is that it took a bunch of fun creative liberities when shifting the story from the games to the anime. Its most apparent in Team Flare and Diantha and even Olympia. When they are all given so much meaning than they did in the games. Because of this, they made the series's stories way more original where you actually have no idea where it will head next. They even made the focus in XYZ about zygarde and ash greninja, which are 2 pokemon that were unheard off at this point and they are important to the story. So unlike lets say munchlax and togepi where they were future gen pokemon that played a role in their series, Ash greninja and Zygarde are original pokemon that have an impact. Thats what I love about the series, it just feels more original and can really stand alone and feel so much more different than the games when it comes to story

[@germandragon8664]

What really got clear to me in XYZ was Ash's attitude about a battle or challenge in general. He's someone who can take a loss with no problem, but is more upset about HOW he loses or even win sometimes as he is someone who desires to fight on an fair and equal ground for both sides, the instances being shown over the course of the last 25 years: (Minus alola, the S&M ruined that.) -his gym battles against Brock in season 1, where he refuses to take the win in their 2nd Match because of the Water sprinkler system kicking in. -His match against Ritchie in the Indigo League, where he mainly lost it due to the stubbornness of his charizard before he started to listen to Ash. (Let's be real, who wouldn't feel upset about that.) -The onesided slaughter vs Wattson in Hoenn with his overcharged Pikachu. -His 8th Place in th Unova league, which was a downgrade from the Sinnoh one. -The fact he loses in the 1st Gym in Kalos, and that by a more clear landslide from Viola's side. -The short series of Losses with his Greninja due to his own hastiness with the Battle Bond.

Well Pokemon XY series is good and a lot better than Pokemon Black and White series because there's no skipped episodes especially the important battle against Team Flare. Also Ash became more mature and his appearence is more like a teenager rather a 10 year old, and while it's true that his battle strategy have improved but he's still clueless when it comes to girls who have feelings for him like Serena and Miette. However there are a few thing that I wished Pokemon XY series could have improved liked: 1. I do wished that Serena had caught a few Pokemon during her journey with Ash, Clemont and Bonnie before she caught Pancham and decided on her goal to be a Pokemon performance. 2. The same goes for Clemont but I do wished that both his Bunnelby and Chespin because they could be a full powerhouse next to Luxray. 3. I do wished that Ash catch another Pokemon during Pokemon XYZ series since he released Goodra and Noivern has recently joined Ash's team and evolved before he had earn his eight badge and compete in the league. 4. In Pokemon XYZ episode in Master Class Choices! I would liked to see more Amelia because I though that she could be a huge rival for Serena as she too wanted to be the Kalos Queen and she Serena again in the Master Class along with Shauna, Nini and Miette. Plus the Master Class episodes are short instead of having four episodes like the Grand Festival from Pokemon Advanced and Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. 5.I am really impress that Ash made it far to the runner up at the Kalos League Lumiose Conference, but still I really wishes that he used some of his old Pokemon to Swap like he did in the Johto league. Because using the same team over and over to the next round someone would seen his battle strategies and might used hit against him and that would be bad. Beside that some of his old Pokemon back at Professer Oak's Lab were absent during both the Pokemon Black and White series and Pokemon XY series too and never been seen again. I still think they should return to Ash's team so that they have time to be trained and evolved before the Kalos League Lumiose Conference that would be very interesting but sadly that never happen. 6. I wished that Serena's Braxien had finally evolved into Delphox in the battle against Ash and Pikachu because it's my favourite Fire starter Pokemon final evolved form in Kalos. Plus with Pokemon XYZ series coming to the end and that Serena is now starting to take her Pokemon performance skills to the next level by heading to Hoenn to compete in the Pokemon contest that Braxien should have evolved into Delphox, just like May's Combusken evolved into Blaziken in the final two episode of Pokemon Battle Frontiers. 7. I still wished that Ash hasn't released his Greninja in the final two episodes as it's popular and favourite to everyone who watced the Pokemon series. To be honest that's the worst episodes and I hate when Ash released his Pokemon because it means that we won't see them again.
