TV-Tokyo has announced that the next anime series following Pocket Monsters Best Wishes will be Pocket Monsters XY. Pocket Monsters XY will begin Oct. 17, 2013. Ash and Pikachu will start in Lumiose City in the Kalos region.

Lumiose City is at the center of the Kalos region. This is the first region that Ash doesn't start in the city that is the hometown in the games. Ash's new outfit for the Pocket Monsters XY series is very similar to what the male character Calem wears in the Pokémon X and Y games.
