Not like it wasn't the first time, Black & white. Anyway it still business and to focus on keeping it relatable for kids. |

Never hoped a franchise dies before but hopefully this crashes and burns.

That's one gigantic shift in style for Ash, he really stands out next to everyone else. The animation does look pretty good, though, keeping with the sudden shift in budget and quality the XY&Z anime took. But as others pointed out- he looks so much younger than he should be, which is odd cause XY&Z Ash looks a tad bit more matured.
I guess it's because I've been following the anime for 18 years, but I'm not exactly fond of the new premise of just sticking Ash into a school for (hopefully just) most of the series. The kid's traveled over 6 regions and visited at least one Pokemon school in all of them. If it's to learn Sun and Moon's new mechanics, we all know he would learn them anyway with or without a school. The new style and premise just makes it seem more like a spin-off than an actual part of the anime. Maybe it's only temporary and once Ash graduates he'll get the standard new male and female companion and start traveling the region like them good ol' days. Even if there are no gyms (according to Serebii's anime summary), Alola's region is so interesting, not to exploring it in the anime would be a crime.

My goodness. Satoshi's face is just....
Black/White was the first region I decided to stop watch after 20 episodes(I watched Pokemon from day 1 so it was a tough decision) because it was bad. A good number of people said it didn't get any better and that Pokemon league was a disgrace. I lost all in the Pokemon anime and decided to move on. I heard great things about XY so I decided to watch it. Currently my favorite after Kanto/Johto(the original adventure) and V (Volt) is arguably my favorite opening. Sun/Moon is looking like a skip, but I'll watch the 1st 20 episodes before I decide. |

I think it's not going to go the traditional school route; but have Ash & companions travel to island to island completing challenges. |

That's what I'm thinking too, but the fact they're advertising the "new school life" in the promo implies they're at least sticking with that setting for a bit. Maybe for the first 20 episodes until they send Ash and his new co. to the different islands. |

I'm not often critical to animation, but the trailer looked really weird.

After the bland and disappointing Diamond & Pearl and Black/White, XY was actuallu pretty good, and had some gorgeous animation, not to mention an actual plot and a somewhat matured Ash.
This seems like a step back in the same way Black and White was...a less mature Ash, a goofier tone, etc. What, did people complain that XY was too serious? Sigh. I just really hate when any show seemingly makes a protagonist goofier to try and be a hit with young kids. |

Okay, I'm just going to say it. Despite how big of a Pokemon fan I am, I'm not sure about this new series.

Well I hope it won't take the entire franchise with it since I still love the games even if I stopped caring about the anime more than a decade ago. |

Omg my baby Bewear!! Thank you whoever
 As for the rest I'm not gonna be too critical about it being Ash anymore since we're clearly keeping him for the long haul. On the bright side, I may be the only one who enjoys the art/animation. It reminds me a lot of Tsuritama.

Maybe this will put some new life into the repetitive cartoon Pokemon always has been.
Or they will just have the characters do the same thing every episode like all the other seasons. |

MY GOD!!!!!!! What in the flying fudgemonkies have they done to Ash's character design? It is hideous to point that it borders on just being utterly creepy.
