"I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was"—that's the first line heard in the new Pokémon trailer launched by the franchise for the upcoming anime season "Pokémon the Series: XY."

The trailer was uploaded on the official Pokémon YouTube account on Dec. 19 and has since accumulated approximately 70,000 views. With the growing views, the reviews about the new trailer have increased.

"Ash is gonna get Charizardite Y. I'm telling you right now," commented TyranitarTube^TM.

"This will only happen if their willing to allow Ash to have the ability to mega evolve 2 [Pokémon] - Lucario & Charizard," replied Lucario Trainer. "Of course 1 per battle though obviously. It has not been confirmed yet that Ash gets Lucario, however I have multiple points that lead up to a theory that Ash gets a Lucario this gen."

"I appreciate this but, bringing back the old song and putting the 'Gotta catch em all' logo wont change a thing," commented alypkm. "Unless you improve the show itself, and get rid of the idealistic Ash figure, in the past Ash used to be like any other 10 years old, short tempered, now he is like a hero, he love everyone and treat everybody as his friends (even those who insult him) its more like a teaching TV series now...he is getting boring and [barely, barely] made me smile."

"For a second there I thought the new anime opening was going to be like 'Born to be a Winner' where they just remix the original theme song, add a few new words, and give it new animations," wrote Storm Aurora.

"Just hope Ash and Serena end up together, but then again, Ash is an idiot when comes down to understanding other people's feelings, even though he grew a pair by putting his body on the line like every time," commented TheUzigunner. "But the main question I wanna ask you guys is that, if by any twisted chance, Ash and Serena end up together, will you guys end up editing it out?"

Ray wrote, "Did they really have to try and ruin the original theme song? Seriously?"

"I think I'm the only one here who's noticed that Ash now has hair covering his ears," share Michael W.

"He won't win the league," said TKnHappyNess.

The debut of "Pokémon the Series: XY," featuring Ash Ketchum and Pikachu traveling around the Kalos region, has been confirmed to start Jan. 18, 2014 starting at 8:30 a.m. EST.
