>>34153113>Ash/May were written pretty close in early AG until the writers dropped it when she got more into Contests. That's why Advanceshipping gained a following at first, besides the reason that we finally had a new girl besides Misty to ship Ash with after 5 years, and that she also had big boobs.Pokeani never dropped Advanceshipping, there were Advanceshipping hints even after Grand Festival. In fact, May is the only person beside Gary that share an item with Ash.
Its just that many Pokeani writers and Director has tendencies to favor their favorite character just like Yajima literately hand everything to Alain for free while punished Ash for all the mistake that Alain made.
In AG case, It was just Tomioka who favored Drew and Contestshipping way too much. There are only 4 episode that give major contestshipping hint and ironically those were all written by Tomioka.
Ya, He can cost Ash's chance with the best heroin of Pokeani but he can not let Ash beat Alain or win any real league.
All other writers seem to like Advanceshipping including the pokemon movie writer.
Serena has curves but she is no May, Serena is just way too bland! She remind me off those pathetic protagonist from Shoujo anime that I hate.
Maybe, Pokeani tried to use Serena as a replacement for May because they knows that May is the best choice for Ash.
