Pokémon fans in the U.S. can catch the debut of Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened, starring the extremely powerful Red Genesect and Mega Mewtwo, followed by a sneak peek of the newest season of the Pokémon animated series, Pokémon the Series: XY. The brand-new season is set in the world introduced in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y and features Pokémon making their animation debut like Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie.
 
So it's not just Pokemon XY, but Pokemon The Series: XY. Is it made so it won't be mistaken with the games?
 
Just an fyi... "Pokémon the Series: XY" is the title of the English dubbed season, not the Japanese series (which is simply Pocket Monsters: XY).
Here is the logo which came with the press release.

I am so glad they're doing a 2 episode sneak peak... Kind of like what they did with Pokemon Advanced back when RS were released.

There is no official confirmation but it's pretty much obvious that the Japanese series will premiere with 2 episodes on Oct. 17 and we'll be getting the same 2 episodes in English dub after 2 days. Cool :D
 
I'd have thought being a television show on a television would be enough of a disambiguator instead of needing to put 'the series'. They don't call them Pokemon The Game: Y - so why the need to point out the obvious here? If the name of the games was fine with Diamond and Pearl and Black and White, it seems strange to change that up now.

Very glad to see we will be getting a preview of the XY series around the time of the games, does the timing mean that the US will get the second XY episode before Japan or is their premiere a double as well?
 
This is a nice surprise. I didn't think that we would get a sneak peek until November, but doing it in October would make more sense to tie in with the release of X/Y. I'm not a big fan of including the series as part of the title. It just seems so unnecessary. Just having the title being Pokemon XY would make so much more sense. It's not like people would mix it up with the games when one is on TV and the other two are video games. Still, I'm eager to see the sneak peek to see all of the new Pokemon and all of the new characters.

They will premiere as a double as the title says. :D

I'm looking forward to this, we won't need to wait for the subs, haha. XD
 
Not sure why they have to slap on "The Series", but the logo looks nice, and I am excited for the movie and preview.
 
There are many shows that have had "The Series" attached to them for no apparent reason, usually to point out a fact like "This will be more Serial based than Stand Alone based", though I doubt that is the reason here. It is most likely to sound more unique, or like its a new series, compared to what has come before in an attempt to draw in more English speaking viewers... or in other words blatant grab attempt b.
 
Whoa! Didn't see that coming! O_O

(And just two days after XY starts in Japan too!)

Really... I saw it coming back in May... The Pokémon Company has been trying to sync the Japanese and International everything for a while now. Likely they are trying to sync the Anime as well which means we'll likely receive a few burn-off marathons in the future in order to get America close to the Japanese releases.
 
And we still don't have any idea about the anime. Like his rival or who he will travel with. Maybe in Coro Coro this week.

We're getting a preview with new characters this weekend on Pokemon Smash.

So will might know sooner if Coro leaks since Smash usually re covers info the zine has. But does Coro ever focus on the anime or is it the games only?

They do both...
 
I'm not that particulary fond of the "The Series" part (and I can see so many others aren't), but at least we know when the dub is starting, even though Decolora isn't over yet and it appears they're pulling the same move they did with Advanced, which is showing the first two episodes of a new generation to promote the games, then premiere the actuall episodes again with more episodes following months later, probably in January or so, since Advanced had a preview in March 2003, and didn't premiere until NOVEMBER 2003 because Kids WB was notorious for replacing new episodes with reruns at the last minute, and spending weeks showing only reruns before airing new episodes.

The only problem I have with this poster is that it's vague, we still don't know who Ash's companions will be, since you know he's not going to travel solo, but I am not going to be pleased if Serena is his companion.

Maybe he meets and greets. Like he travels alone for a bit then meets up with people for certain things then goes back to being alone. I'd be fine with that. What I don't get is why people want Serena to be with him. Having her as a rival would be more fun since we need a female main rival for once.
 
I'm guessing "The Series" was added either to distinguish it from Origins (assuming that's getting dubbed) or because "XY" by itself was too short of a title. I don't have anything against it, personally; no worse than "The Movie".
 
I am not surprised the first two anime episodes will air on October 19. The anime has shown these special previews for AG and DP too

I really liked that TPCi used a slightly different title for the anime to distinguish it from the games.
