So far, fan reception of the Pokemon X and Y anime has been very positive!

"This episode was wonderful and enjoyable, I think I haven't feel so entertained by a Pokémon episode in like 3 years, I was watching the whole time," writes RickHoenn on Serebii.

"The introduction to the XY series was great. My favorite part in the episode was the battle between Ash and Clemont," adds Morning Sun.

"The animation was really well done and I hope it stays this way for the duration of the series."

Be sure to check back for English dub episodes of the Pokemon X and Y anime in January!
