>>56838111Yeah but that's more directly referenced in the source game. Brendan is also the protag in PokeMas while May is Birch's kid. XY hardly has anything to work with so Serena just either talks about fashion and reacting to everyone else. It's really the cadence of her seiyuu that hard carries her, she wouldn't really do much to me if she wasn't Akari Kitou
None of the bad Gen VI characters really are saved by PokeMas. If they were bad before (Trevor, Tierno, Zinnia) they're still bad. And most of them don't get ANY attention either so Gen VI really is robbed too outside of Sycamore and Serena
