I would like to first off, thank Mr. L and (supposedly) Mr. F for bringing up "sassy Serena" a lot the past few days, because I was not able to watch the first scene of the DP finale without immediately drawing the parallel to Serena's first episode beginning with her being woken up by her mother's Flechling. In a different timeline, maybe the XY team stole more ideas from DP and made a better character.
>>53994599I knew Dawn had a lot of screen time in Journeys (because BDSP and Arceus). I watched the Serena episode to see what post-XY Contests looked like. I didn't care for it, but I'll give the Dawn-focused episodes a try.
