    So the new season of the anime, Pokémon XY&Z, started airing a few weeks ago in Japan. Have you watched until that point or did you drop watching it during the last season? Have you watched any XXY episodes at all? Do you even care about the anime anymore?
    I've watched 83 of the 93 episodes of the XY season and I'm just now starting to catch up because I want to start watching the new season already. I think I'm at the last few fillers before the buildup to the season finale. It's actually not that bad and the new characters haven't grown old for me yet. Of course there's a few filler episodes but those aren't all boring, some of them are somewhat entertaining, believe it or not. I wish they'd build on Serena's character and her relationship with Ash a bit more, though it's understandable that they're not paying too much attention to it too much, considering it's a show for 10 year old boys. Eureka is ridiculously cute and she's one of the reasons I keep watching, besides Serena. Also Ash collected quite a few badges now so I'm curious what their next goal will be after that. Serena only has 2 Pokémon after 83 episodes so there's still a lot of room for her to get some more. Citron doesn't have all that many either, 3 I think, and he's also a decently interesting character. Looks like there'll be some more Mega Evolutions next season and an arc surrounding Zygarde and its Formes. Just a few more episodes ;w;
    (Also I'm not entirely sure if this is the right forum to post this, sorry)

    HA.
    Nah.
    You know, I actually watched part of X/Y. Then quit when Ash didn't know what a Rhyhorn/Rhydon/Whatever was. Not really
    I check in sporadically, but have not yet watched X/Y/Z yet

    Unfortunately I haven't; I have only watched a few newer ones here and there, and there are sooo many Pokémon episodes that it'd take forever to catch up. I might start watching XYZ though, since it only started recently.

    Have you tried watching it in Japanese yet? There's quite a difference between the dub and the sub aside from the voices.

    If you want to I'd recommend to watch it whenever you have time. It's only 4 episodes in so otherwise it might be too much to catch up with at once.

    Last episode I watched was back in January, only on episode 54, I can't really be bothered catching up to it now though. Don't really have the time nor effort. I've found better stuff to watch

    I think the last episode I saw was the one with Crystal Onix.

    Hold on a sec, let me do a quick Bulbapedia search.

    ...

    Series 1 Episode 87, aired 05 Feb 2000. That was back when Gen 2 pokes were slowly being revealed: Marill (Pikablu), Snubull, Donphan, Slowking, and a few other had pre- Gold and Silver reveals around that time. Our minds were blown at the idea that there might even be 180 or so Pokémon. All this XYZ stuff is quadrupling that. *sigh* how time flies.

    I don't watch it on anime sites because I want to or anything like that, but sometimes when I get back from school way earlier than normal, turn on the TV and see a (Dutch!) episode of Pokémon X/Y/Z, I watch it. The Dutch dub sounds absolutely horrible, but I watch it because I want to know what they did to the story. It's quite interesting to see the protagonists explore a world you've explored in the games as well, even though I still don't like Ash. I love the colors and the beautiful drawing style (man, Mega Evolution looks epic!).
    Would I watch it as one of my main anime? I don't think so. I don't know why, but thinking of watching it like that doesn't sound appealing to me.

    I have watched the Pokémon anime on and off for several years now, and it's quite good for an anime that a lot of people hate on. In this case, I'm talking about the X&Y series, which is actually really good, and I love the "romance" between Ash and Serena, it really just fits Ash (Serena crushing on Ash and him not noticing). As of this point, I have no idea where they are going to with it, but I doubt it is going anywhere. It is actually because this that I still watch the anime from time to time. Not only are the battles really entertaining and fun to watch, this season makes me really want to know what happens next.

    Also, Ash releasing Goodra was a stupid move, made me really sad.

    Haven't bothered with the anime ever since the D/P/Pt arc. I highly doubt I'll be catching up with it again due to losing a lot of interest in it lately. One of the main reasons on why I stopped watching is for one, the show really hasn't changed much at least from what I've seen of it. Other than new characters added in, it's still the same show since the late 90's and that seriously scares me. Another reason is how Ash seems to be getting dumber over the years. How do you not know what a Koffing is? James from Team Rocket used to own one! And why would you get rid of Goodra?!

    Yeah, I don't see myself watching the anime again unless they change it up a notch.

    I haven't seen it all that much, It's been eons since I watched anything anime related. I watched the Genesect movie a couple of years back but that's really it.

    I haven't kept up with the anime since after Gen 4 wrapped up. I couldn't stand the Gen 5 characters and although the Gen 6 anime looks a lot better I just haven't had the interest to go back.

    YES of course I keep up I watch 1 episode of Pokémon a week since a new episode airs every Saturday morning. No one will ever keep me from watching Pokémon, NOTHING.

    Nope not at all lol. I'm having a hard time catching up because of that now which is a little annoying but luckily the anime is not what seems to be talked most about on here so I don't get major spoilers.

    I watched x and y a few months back and I was quite fond of it.
    I was planning on binge watching it, though it never happened sadly.

    I'm trying! I haven't watched X and Y yet because I want to finish watching B/W first (I am almost done with it, but I've been delaying it because I hate goodbyes in TV shows.)
