Seriously what happened to this Serena? For first two episode she was a perfectly believable girl but then she joined the main cast and 360 degree change into a doormat who exists to simp over the protagonist. Worst part is that the animators decided to shove this doormat archetype on three other girls to replicate Serena's popularity despite it ruined Serena's own character.
Serena was destined to be popular regardless her personality due to being an attractive blonde haired girl with a curvy figure and direct crush on Ash. It won't work with other girls like Lillie, Koharu and Liko since Lillie is destined to remained flat and not an abused victim like her game counterparts while Koharu and Liko aren't blonde and has no crush on Ash. Why can't animators understand this?
XY Ash was also more similar to SM Ash at the beginning of XY series however XYfags still haven't figured it out due to Ash's clothes and art style.
