The latest Pokémon TV series has been announced, and it’s due to air this fall! Will Ash finally achieve his dream of becoming a Pokémon Master? I wouldn’t count on it…
Starting dates for the newest Pokémon anime series have been revealed, and it’s set to coincide with the release of the new games.
The new series will premiere in Japan on Thursday October 17, the day after the launch of the latest Pokémon games for the Nintendo 3DS, Pokemon X and Y.
The creatively titled Pocket Monsters XY will follow Ash and Pikachu to Lumiose City in the center of the Kalos region, which is also the game’s starting town. There they will make new friendships and encounter never-before-seen pokémon! (How many Pokémon are we up to now? I think I lost count somewhere along the way.)
Join them on their latest adventure as Ash (still) seeks to fulfil his dream of becoming a Pokémon Master by winning the Kalos League!
