One of the most important Pokemon anime arcs is finally hitting Netflix in time for Legends: Z-A
Briefly

Netflix is set to release more Pokémon content in June, featuring the return of Pokémon the Series: XY, Kalos Quest, and XYZ. This marks the first appearance of the 19th season on the platform. These arcs showcase Ash Ketchum's journey as he matures and evolves as a trainer, adopting the role of a mentor to his new companions. The Kalos saga is notably recognized for its character development and emotional storytelling, particularly highlighted during the intense Team Flare arc that emphasizes Ash's growth as a protagonist.
Throughout the Kalos region adventure, Ash begins to shed his naive nature, becoming a mentor to his new, inexperienced friends. The perpetually 10-year-old trainer began moving like a veteran who retained battle experience from prior seasons, creating more engaging storytelling, especially during the Team Flare arc.
According to What's On Netflix, Pokémon the Series: XY and Kalos Quest will return on June 1 alongside XYZ - marking the first time the 19th season has been on the streaming platform.
Kalos became a fan-favorite saga of the animated series as the three arcs showed a rare concept seldom explored in the Pokémon anime: character development.
For example, Ash Ketchum, imprisoned atop Prism Tower, unleashed a goosebumps-inducing speech aimed at the evil Lysandre, showcasing Ash’s growth and determination in the face of adversity.
