It’s a month of firsts this January on Cartoon Network as the first Pokémon generation meets the latest, and a brand-new animation season kicks off the New Year.
Two Pokémon feature movies and an animated special—starting with Pokémon: The First Movie—will air next month, celebrating the kickoff of the newest season of Pokémon animation on Cartoon Network and the introduction of Ash’s adventure in the Kalos region. Dates and times for the movies and special, as well as the debut of Pokémon the Series: XY, are listed below:
- Pokémon: The First Movie is making its digitally remastered return on Saturday, January 4, 2014, at 8:30 a.m. ET/PT. Reunite with old friends, Misty and Brock, and battle familiar enemies, Mewtwo and Giovanni!
- On Saturday, January 11, 2014, catch the animated special, Pokémon: Mewtwo—Prologue to Awakening, airing at 8:30 a.m. ET/PT. It’s the prequel to Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened that follows at 9:00 a.m. ET/PT.
- Join Ash and friends as they embark on their new adventure in the Kalos region in the much anticipated season premiere of Pokémon the Series: XY on Saturday, January 18, 2014, at 8:30 a.m. ET

The first movie is getting a digital remaster? that’s awesome
Why does the new season have to follow Ash?
It’s time for a change & you can bet Team Rocket is there after Pikachu & he’ll have all three starters & that little fire bird you first encounter.
The first two episodes were pretty good. We will get to see all 3 starters, but Ash isn’t shown having them…yet
he gets froakie
and serena gets fenniken and fletchling but i’m not sure about chespin
Chespin gets caught by Clemont
Ash gets Fletching, no Serena.
Ash only gets Froakie, while an old friend named Serena gets Fennekin and Clemont gets Chespin.
They’re going the Hoeen route with XY: Ash gets Froakie, Serena gets Fennekin and Clemont gets Chespin.
This is awesome!!!!
Although, too bad I no longer got cable :(
this better not be another budget series, unova was awful
Cool… but they’re not going to show any actual new episodes yet because they already showed the first 2 in a preview.
Pokemon show has gotten worse year after year starting from the johto days
what.
Nostalgia goggles

Pokemon is definitely one of the best anime out there. It’s just so awesome! Seeing the original film again will be fun and the Genesect film was one of the best ones as well!
Diamond and Pearl and Best Wishes kinda sucked, but XY has been great so far. Does anyone else watch it subbed?

I REALLY wish they’d bring back Misty & Brock
Yeah, my thought was:
“No Misty? still not watching it.”
Why are you afraid of something new?
