Okay, I've been watching Pokemon XY for a couple of months now(I'm at Episode 32 right now). And I gotta say that it's the best Pokemon anime I've seen in years. I watched it all the time when it first came out, but kind of stopped watching after the Johto arc ended.

But when the anime for XY came out a couple years ago, I've read nothing but good reviews so I thought I'd check it out again. I must say, I'm glad I did. But one thing surprised me most of all: Ash was actually competent! When the Hell did that happen? Not only that, but his new friends, Serena, Clemont and Bonnie all seem impressed with him. Speaking of Serena, she seems to be the first girl since Misty to have a legit crush on Ash and there are signs Ash likes Serena, too. I can't believe this is the same show I first saw 17 years ago.
