So has anyone else watched it? Doesn't seem that bad to me. The brother sister thing is very reminiscent of Pokemon: Advanced when May and Max were introduced. Personally, i'm curious about this gym that ash can't challenge until he has 4 badges and the mega-evolved Blaziken and it's mysterious trainer is interesting too. And whats up with Satoshi and the water starter pokemon for all the regions

In advance generations he didn't get the water starter and on Sinnoh arc either.

But to be fair I watched the first 2 episodes after watching the episode whre Brock met Cilan... and was freaking awesome... I was like:

"When this series turn into so badass?!"

A freaking flying Garchomp shooting Hyper beams destroying everything, well pased action, even if Team Rocket is goofy again, they're an actually enemy... Episode 3 was less exciting, but indeed very enjoynable.

I can't take ash seriously. He is in a coma.

No-one can take Ash seriously

Well, I just hope they don't ruin this seoson too. Ash gets all the starters , meet all legendary pokemon in this riegon and the worst of all still don't know that water has advantage on fire. (They did it in black and white)

You'd think he would know the simplest thing in Pokemon....

Ash=Idiot

I'm no taking him seriously, but what they're doing with the series was amaizing. The downside of the whole episodes is that we are still stuck with Ash.

But even so, the animation, the takes and the holyfreakin Garchomp taking down a freaking city was a great highlight.

Maybe they'll introduce Red later on since they already had an entire special on it and everything
