Before he was an idiot, so much so that in a gym match he only brought 1 pokemon against 3, and he did that because that one pokemon was his stratagy. I personally have much more respect for Ash in this season, because it shows clearly his care for pokemon, and it's not too out of place since the pokemon do act somewhat intellegent, and can clearly understand what people say, so of course Ash would become legitimate friend with them, and care about them like he would do a human. So far, the charatcer development has been done on Satoshi (Ash), and a little bit on the sister. The charatcers may not be great, but they are a massive improvement. Therefore 8 out of ten, altough maybe a too much, but 7.5 didn't seem right. The sound effects though are quite good, and match the scene well. I cannot really give examples, due to not having much of a developed opinion on the voices yet, since i don't nearly know enough about the main characters (character development hasn't really happened much due to so few episodes) to comment if the voices really suit them yet. The voice acting is nothing special, and is not that great, and some of the characters play there roles too much. The pokemon sounds though are really nice, although they still are restricted to saying their names. It's personally nothing too great, but it isn't bad either. Again, one of the best things about the anime. It's actually got some of the best cinematography i've seen, as it is very active and does well in this anime. It captures angles well, and is perfect for showing the action. This is a massive improvement to the anime, and i must say is really unique. I think that its amazing, and that the pokemon themselves have realistic movements, and the different angles and perspectives used, especially in pokemon battles are superb.

The best thng about this anime is, as i must say, its new cinematography. The story has not had enough episodes to develop yet, so i may fill this in on a later date, but it looks somewhat hopeful. If you think so, comment below and i'll be glad to hear your opinion. This may make my judgement a little innacurate. Be awere that my opinion could be different than it could be due to the fact i watched the previous seasons in english dubbed done terribly, and im watching XY in eng subbed. Pokemon XY, whilst not being totally dissimilar from the seasons before it, i consider it much better.
