Today, CITV and The Pokémon Company International announced that they will be celebrating the 12th October global launch of the <em>Pokémon X</em> and <em>Pokémon Y</em> 3DS game pair with the showing of a brand new Pokémon movie, <strong>Genesect and the Legend Awakened</strong>, as well as a sneak peak of the first two episodes of <strong>Pokémon The Series: XY</strong> on the weekend of 19-20th October - a mere two days after Pokémon The Series: XY premieres on TV Tokyo in Japan!
<strong>Genesect and the Legend Awakened</strong>, which was released in Japanese cinemas this July, features Ash Ketchum, his trusty Pikachu and travelling companions Iris and Cilan as they visit New Tork City. A group of five Genesect - ancient Pokémon who had been modified by Team Plasma, have decided to build their nest in the city, which threatens its power supply. The mythical Pokémon soon catch the attention of Mewtwo, who despite sympathising with them due to the human tampering they had to endure, ends up in a confrontation with the Genesect group's leader, the Red Genesect. Can Ash and friends stop these powerful Pokémon before it' too late?
Genesect and the Legend Awakened will air on CITV at 9:25am on the 19th, with the first episode of Pokémon The Series: XY airing at 11:30am, with the following episode airing at the same time the next day, before the series begins in full next year.
