>>51527228Can't believe they got away with that shit. Pretty disrespectful to Serena as a character since a big part of her character/arc was genuinely admiring Ash along with obviously crushing on him and finally working up the nerve to kiss him before they parted ways. And in this scene Ash doesn't even bother to check who Koharu is talking to, not even given a semblance of "Oh hey, who could that pretty looking girl Koharu is talking to be, a strong trainer?/Hey that girl looks a little familiar...?". And people have also stated before that not even Pikachu was excited to see Serena when it would appear that Pikachu usually jumps on snuggles up to other characters that they haven't seen in a long time.
