#Pokemon x y episode 5 series

Then Sawyer is introduced, giving Ash a rival and subtly shifting the tone. Cerebus Syndrome: Though the first two episodes establish that XY is not your usual PokР“В©mon series, the journey through Kalos is a standard lighthearted affair akin to Diamond and Pearl.Just as she starts to ponder this, Ash returns to his old self, restoring her faith in him.

Rebuilt Pedestal: When Ash snaps at Serena in the Winding Woods, they get into their first and only major argument, causing her to wonder if she's been holding him to too high a standard.

While Sawyer still trusts that Ash will bounce back in time for the League, Serena's view is shattered after Ash rudely rebuffs her attempts to comfort him.

Broken Pedestal: Serena and Sawyer start to doubt their faith in Ash during the XY&Z arc as his skills and attitude progressively dwindle.

Cilan did appear, but it was in a post-epilogue episode meaning he only met Clemont and Bonnie.

First region where Ash does not reunite with an old companion from the previous region's journey.

First region where all of Ash's PokР“В©mon (save for Pikachu, of course) fully evolve.

Talonflame did not learn Flamethrower like all the rest of his Fire-types.

First generation where Ash doesn't cross-dress.

First evolution of a Water-type starter, as well as a Water-type PokР“В©mon finally evolving ever since way back in Kanto when Krabby evolved.

First region where Ash doesn't catch the Grass-type starter - or any Grass-type, for that matter.

Big Bad: Lysandre is the main villain of the series, being responsible for the events behind the Mega Evolution Acts arc as well as leading Team Flare to capture Zygarde for his plans of world destruction during the XYZ season of the series.This not only led to more dynamic and visually pleasing battles (especially when it came to the Kalos League), but it also allowed more details to the character models, most notably with the addition of fingernails.

Art Evolution: Coming at the heels of the well-received mini-series PokР“В©mon Origins and PokР“В©mon Black 2 and White 2: Introduction Movie, which feature PokР“В©mon battles with little to no speedlines or effect panels as backgrounds that the main anime was infamous for, the XY series standardized their animation style for its weekly episodes thanks to the advent of 3D backgrounds and rotating camera, which allowed the animators to focus on the foreground animation and not worry about what's happening behind.

Lysandre, Boss of Team Flare, serves as the Big Bad for the majority of the XY series (and taking a more active role during the XYZ arc) and is responsible for Alain's Mega Evolution energy quest and the hunt for Zygarde, which eventually culminates in a world crisis in Kalos that everyone has to partake in.

The climax of Goodra's Character Arc is to defeat Florges and make her see the error of her ways.

Florges serves as the Big Bad for the Wetlands Arc, the driving force behind the conquest of the wetlands, and Goomy's exile from its home.

It's most prominent during the XYZ series, where the important episodes are stacked back to back.

Animation Bump: It goes without saying that the animation of XY always peaks for Gym Battles, Showcases, and any other important event in the series.

Aquacorde Town gets nothing more than a two-second flyby early in the pilot.

Kiloude City in the Kalos region has never been featured, either.

note Instead, Xerosic tries to brainwash Clemont but gets defeated by Ash and the gang and then arrested by Officer Jenny.

The postgame in X and Y features Xerosic being investigated by Agent Looker and finding redemption with the help of a young girl named Emma.

Drasna is the only Elite Four member of the Kalos League to not make an appearance, not even for a cameo (Wikstrom, the only other Elite Four member to not have a major role in the series, makes a small cameo appearance in PokР“В©mon: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction, and would later make an appearance in PokР“В©mon Journeys: The Series).
