Description
this was really a stupid reasonat least in BW rivalries had good reason, heck even if it was a grudge it was by good reason such as Georgia wanting to beat Iris when she actually got a Dragon Type or Burgundy wanting to win a Rematch to her gym battle
but this is just silly
I'm not saying it as an Anti-Serena thing, it's an Anti-Writers thing
Serena has good potential, especially since she doesn't know what path she wants to take, but the writers are doing so little with her
basically all she does is cook sweets, tense her hands, show off things with her PDA and blushes at the mention of Ash (which is double bad on the writers' part)
It's 25 episodes in an she still only has one Pokémon
Clemont has caught as many Pokémon as Ash right now (which i'm not complaining cos Clembo's awesome ;3 )
but seriously, even Dawn had more development than this, give the girl some independence and personality jeez ¬_¬
Pokémon is owned by TPCi

Dawn had a ribbon and three Pokemon by this point.
They're squandering Serena's potential badly. I started off liking her but that's slipping away as she seems more and more helpless.
I hope they turn it around, and maybe have her expand her identity beyond liking Ash, because it's getting her nowhere.
And yeah that rivalry is... More than dumb.

Misty, May, Dawn, and Iris all pwn this chick. Seriously.
And the past girls' rivalries were way more fun than this one, too. Hope it's just a one episode thing...

I couldn't agree more.
I originally disliked Iris compared to the others... Now that's changed lol. Annoying as she'd been, at least she had substance.
They really were. I hope it is, and I hope Serena changes soon. :/ Even if she got with Ash it'd be incredibly unsatisfying because the only build up we'd have is her pining over Ash, rather than legitimate build-up of a relationship between the characters. At least if things continue to go the way they are. What do they have in common, really? I can't think of a thing. It doesn't seem like they even talk to each other that much.

I need to find some good BW episodes, I can't watch it as a whole due to how much they downgraded Ash. It's painful for me lol. Maybe I'd appreciate her more if I saw some quality ones.
No kidding I was thinking from the start she'd take interest in who Ash is and try to learn about him to get closer. Heck, maybe even have him teach her a thing or two. But she just seems caught up in her own crush and mind and it's kind of pitiful. Why /would/ Ash notice?
All of the other girls had a better friendship with him, even by this point in time. And I have my own opinions on who he'd go best with.

TheRisenChaos In reply to Stump8 [2014-05-27 05:40:59 +0000 UTC]
To be honest, it wasn't THAT much of a downgrade. In skill, yes. But in character? Not so much. xD
I actually never had high hopes for her, but I kind of wished her character wouldn't be as bad as I feared. Turns out, she is as bad, if not worse!

Stump8 In reply to TheRisenChaos [2014-05-27 05:48:15 +0000 UTC]
I can't stand the skill downgrades lol. He gets such a bad name for that. It's cringeworthy after all the hard work he's put in. That's good news that his character stays strong though. Also his appearance in BW is pretty bad from my perspective. I'll try to find some good episodes, I guess.
Yeah, they cornered themselves. No contests. She apparently doesn't give half a damn about battling. She's incredibly passive even in her crush.
What does she even have going for her?

TheRisenChaos In reply to Stump8 [2014-05-27 15:46:43 +0000 UTC]
His character stays strong? No, I meant his character is still as weak as it was in DP. That hasn't changed. Post-Johto Ash is a total bore.
Uhh...she's pretty and likes fashion and cooking and has a Fennekin? Yeah, that's really not much. XD

I really liked D/P Ash, but I will give it to you that I really miss the humor from pre-advanced. While the writing for battles, etc. got better, the humor got worse. If that's what you're thinking of. But I guess without the good battling to redeem it, that makes B/W look bad.
lmfao. No, for a series like Pokemon, it's not.

TheRisenChaos In reply to Stump8 [2014-05-27 18:09:36 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, Ash actually had a personality in the OS, and had his moments in AG. He just got dull afterwards and I wish he were replaced.
Not at all, especially when previous female leads have set the bars.

Stump8 In reply to TheRisenChaos [2014-05-27 18:58:09 +0000 UTC]
I wish he would've been after D/P. I know things got weird, but I enjoyed the series and his battles, and his interactions with Dawn way too much.
B/W made his overstayed welcome way too obvious. If they're not going to push him forward, you might as well move onto someone else. An anime based on Black/White would've been great, and I love Ash.
Most of them have set it pretty high.

TheRisenChaos In reply to Stump8 [2014-05-27 19:00:07 +0000 UTC]
As dull as he got, he at least seemed strong enough a trainer in DP to reach his conclusion. But NOPE! ><
ESPECIALLY May.

Stump8 In reply to TheRisenChaos [2014-05-27 19:14:11 +0000 UTC]
Exactly. :/ He beat a Darkrai for crying outloud. It should've been the final match and he'd face Darkrai last and take it down.
Would've been an awesome conclusion to the Ash anime. But they just have such an issue with him reaching success.
Dawn was my favorite, but she was pretty accomplished too!

TheRisenChaos In reply to Stump8 [2014-05-27 19:16:24 +0000 UTC]
Or, if they kept his skill as it was, BW could have been the PERFECT end to Ash's time on the anime. That series even had him facing down Giovanni, which makes it also a perfect conclusion for Team Rocket. The XY series as it is is a travesty, especially since the Mega Evolution specials shows us what we could have had instead.
To me, it's May > Misty > Dawn and Iris > Marina (Johto special) > Serena.

Stump8 In reply to TheRisenChaos [2014-05-27 19:30:33 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, you've got a point there. Also if they didn't make him look eight years old.
They could have had them really facing off and follow that with what happened with the Mega Electro Ball.
The only things I like about XY are Bonnie and the fact that Ash's skills are back to normal again.
I'm so ticked he probably won't get a Mega Lucario. It's the perfect opportunity.
For me, it's Dawn>Misty>May>Iris>Serena.
Though I like the first three a lot and I'm starting to warm up to Iris, so the arrows don't mean a whole lot.

TheRisenChaos In reply to Stump8 [2014-05-27 19:35:14 +0000 UTC]
But he's still 10 years old.
Technically, Ash and his friends all did face off with him since he was commanding the Kami Trio the whole time before the Electro Ball.
I just like Bonnie. And Clemont whenever he's playing off of her.
We'll be seeing Mega Lucario soon, but I'm unsure if Ash gets one or not.
Same here: I like all of them except Serena, basically. XD And you seen this? risenwarrior.deviantart.com/ar… Sad but funny and true.

Stump8 In reply to TheRisenChaos [2014-05-27 19:38:50 +0000 UTC]
He really shouldn't be. :/ That's another thing that ticks me off.
Yeah, but a real battle between them would've been good. But that is something.
She's cool. I'm just happy Ash seems smart in battles again. And he should get a Lucario, even if it doesn't mega evolve. The aura thing?
Me too, lol. I have. Eh, the "what a kid" stuff annoyed me. xD But I guess it's true. Which doesn't matter to me as long as it doesn't affect him as a Pokemon Trainer lol. Ash is meant to be a goof.

TheRisenChaos In reply to Stump8 [2014-05-27 19:43:10 +0000 UTC]
They never battle the evil team leaders, so this was as close as it gets.
Well an upcoming episode says "Mega Lucario VS Mega Lucario", so I'm wondering about that.
When it comes to Ash, it's well deserved. xD This was Ash when he was cool, IMHO. risenwarrior.deviantart.com/ar… XD

It was still an annoyingly spammed catchphrase and to give it a pass is a big double standard. And frankly, Ash deserved the insults half the time. And eventually it wasn't even insults, just teasing.
It can never be recaptured. Ever.

It may be a double standard, and I won't deny having it. I simply liked Dawn more lol. Which is why I said to each their own.
You may have a point, but I just didn't like it myself.
I guess not, not unless they returned to their own style, but they seem to be stuck on the trend of stale gags as long as the show goes now. :/
