Okay, I just saw lately the new Pokemon Sun and Moon anime series. I guess
you're already familiar with the characters. In the new series, Ash's design
is different from what we all know spiky black hair (etc).

Is the Sun and Moon series a new different pokemon story (like Red's series or
a story of an alternate world) because the Ash looks different or it's another
continuation where Ash just changed his look?

Is Pokemon Sun and Moon's story new or a continuation?


Firstly, there is a drastic change in art style compared to the XY&Z series.
Also, Ash is depicted more as a comedic character compared to his character in
XY&Z. One interesting factor to note here is that unlike all the other series
before, anything related to Kalos or Ash's adventure there hasn't been
mentioned even once.

However, based on Pikachu's move set, we know for sure that it's post Unova.
And another interesting thing to note is during the episode where the
characters visit Kanto, during the battle between Brock and Kiawe. Ash had
prior knowledge on Mega evolutions while the rest of the characters didn't
know what it was. Ash came to know of the same during his time in Kalos.

I guess it's up to to the writers to decide based on how they want to continue
the series in the future.

Yes, it's the same Ash, the new series prove it by showing his Kalos badges
alongside the Manalo Conference Trophy (Episode 2)

I agree with Stanley and Gary. It continues series after Pokemon x y and z. it
is not any new series. The best proof is the mega evolution of brock and misty
pokemon where the characters visit Kanto.

> Pokemon Sun & Moon Episode 43 - Gym Battle! Z-Move vs Mega Evolution!!

You must be thinking when ash is so strong why he joined the pokemon school in
Alola? well, ash do not have any knowledge about the Alola region, that is why
to learn about Alola Pokemon he joined Pokemon school.

well, it seems like ash is not getting old but you cannot define age of anyone
in any manga or tv series.

> Pikachu also knows all the previous moves he learned before like an iron
> tale, electro web that is another evidence.
