>>27526036Ash will never get an Eevee because they don't want anything resembling a "main" or "official" evolution. In fact I don't think he's had any branching mons. Even his Charizard didn't get to mega.
Serena is capable of battling, she just doesn't do it enough. They even incorporated dancing into it, but it wasn't really developed as a story element, just a cool animation gimmick. I would have loved an explicit plot point of Fennekin struggling in battle and improving through dance. It would have lent more meaning to her goal, and how it helps her bond with her Pokemon. Another missed opportunity.
