Yajima's quote, "The staff thought it was alarming that I said I wanted to change her hairstyle since she was a character from the game." is proof the staff only cares about promoting the games, and not about Ash
The staff only says: "ok writers build a story with these characters, these Pokemon and this setting"
We should be happy that the writers managed to change Serena's design, because her new one looks nothing like game Serena
At least they fought against the status quo, and I'm sure the director wanted Ash to win the league
