Anime Serena is only based on Game Serena they differ too much to be remotely close to be the same character. Even in design small things like recoloring her collard and removing the glasses from game Serena's hat. Not to mention personality wise.

Be honest with me guys; what are the chances of Serena getting with Ash at the end of this series, even if it's hinted? If it were to happen, would Pokemon require a different protagonist to lead the brand? Personally I think that if there's ever a chance of a pokegirl hooking up with Ash, it's Serena and that if it does happen then a different character can take over the show.

>>21388292 the chances? slim
I don't like to sound like a buzz kill, hell I often am one of those who posts Cilan pictures with an excited look and say to trust based director. BUT. I've grown to like the pairing although I have always thought of the shipping aspect of any anime as dumb, and hate myself for liking this one pairing. Anyway if in the chance that it does turn out to be true both of them would likely get written off and a new character to take over the main character mantle.
That's why I would just recommend staying on the fence of things and just enjoy whatever the writers throw at us.
Anonymous
>>21388376 >both of them would likely get written off and a new character to take over the main character mantle. I hope that Ash will have a proper ending sooner or later. The anime will end some day, whether we like it or not.
Having followed Ash's story for so long, I'd really hate it if he gets some shitty and rushed ending or even worse, the show just gets suddenly canceled and he doesn't get an ending at all. Wouldn't be the first show that that has happened to.
I couldn't care less what would happen to the new character as long as Ash's story has properly finished.
>>21388329 This would be perfect.

What game/Special ships does the anime thread ship?
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>21388292 They will continue this will they/won't they thing. Serena being beta seems like an aspect of her character just added in to avoid to subplot. If Serena ever does confess, it'll be in a roundabout fashion and won't be said to Ash directly.
Anonymous
>>21388376 The anime have handled love stuff before but they have made Ash an oblivious idiot when it comes to love for a reason. Sure they have broken alot of status ques this season but I simply don't think they will get rid of this one. They have given us pretty good hints but over the time i think Serena will just give up and Ash staying oblivious.
And as you, I have never been a fan of shipping for the simple reason that it have all been based on a fantasy. But this ship actually have SOME steady ground to it.
Anonymous
>>21388487 But in this case, if Serena stays beta she won't get anywhere with him. That was brought by a character in the show itself. There's nothing to give up on if you actively try to hide how you feel about someone.

>>21388487 I don't know Ash has traveled through several regions now and his understanding of the concept is a bit more noticeable. Considering things such as offering Oshawott to be released if he would like to stay in the island. but I do agree that a lot of those unspoken "status quos" are being broken and also agree that this one is too big. Who knows anon sometimes you can't help yourself but to get your hopes up.

>>21388584 Lucario was one of the big ones and that shit was pretty much slaughtered. They even had that shippy scene during the gym battle.

>>21388568 Well, like I said in an earlier post. Her being beta is an obvious way to avoid delving into it too much. She was alone with him in XY40, and got terrified after Ash didn't hear her comment about him being amazing, for fear of having to repeat it, for example.

>>21391462 Given how much they marketed it and how much effort they put into it up to this point, it doesn't make sense that they would just forget about it. It's still early, and there will plenty of opportunities to develop their relationship. Less spaghetti might actually be a sign of development on Serena's part; I imagine working towards her goal will make her a lot more confident. In place of her cute nervousness there could be a lot more bonding moments between her and Ash like in episodes 40 and 44. As long as they directly involve Ash, it won't be a one-sided thing like it was earlier on, and it would also stand as development for both characters since both of them will be a lot more open with each other. And they've already been doing that, so expect more. Even basic character interaction between them like they had last episode is a good thing since it establishes that Amour isn't the driving force between both characters.
Also I'm sure there will also be random Amour teasing in filler episodes in the future whenever they feel like it. They probably save the bigger moments for major episodes.

Only certain things trigger it. She was interacting with him normally in XY26 for example, and didn't spill until pressured by someone else regarding them.

>>21394053 Don't you see though? That's part of the emotional, tragic part of it.
You can clearly see Dawn wanted to say something very badly, something that was on her mind for a VERY long time. It was clearly very emotionally important. And she hesitated. She knew it was too late.
You can bet, if the camera had lingered on her longer, it would have her turning around, with her eyes hidden. But you the viewer know what she would do next, or later that night. You don't need a glistening drop of 'something' falling to know...

Watching this series I've noticed that the camera focuses on Serena and Ash being together a lot, something that rarely happened with other girls. The picture in the OP is one of many examples of this. Do you think this was made on purpose by the director of this series to solidify the foundations of a potential romantic relationship between these two? I doubt Ash will get another retcon with a future girl to be honest. Truthfully, this is way too much and does indeed feel like Ash's last adventure.

>>21394624 What's wrong with changing the protagonist? The video games do it every generation. And in the case Yugioh, only nostalgiafags could be upset about that. ZEXAL is really the only one that's lame.
5D's is the GOAT. Anonymous
>>21394624 Yugioh did a good thing changing protagonists every 3 years, after Atem's journey I mean. Otherwise we wouldn't have gotten Yusei's story nor Yuya's (which is probably as fun as the original honestly). I wouldn't blame if Pokemon did something similar. If the ratings ever get bad, which I doubt, then I guess they could bring Ash back or something.

>>21394668 >>21394670 I think for shows like Yu-Gi-Oh! or Digimon it works fine to have new characters each season. But for a show like Pokemon that runs for so long and is about friendship it will hit harder when characters leave or are replaced. I would still want to see a new more mature Pokemon show with older protagonists that's focused more on the human characters and has multiple episodes long Pokemon battles.

>>21394742 That definitely didn't stop them from replacing every character except Ash, Pikachu and Team Rocket. They all suffer from being really stale and predictable. Of course at the moment Ash is showing a lot more promise, but it won't matter if he is going to be around forever. At some point they would have to do a BW reset again.

>>21394760 The only reason it lasted so long is because young kids quickly grow out of it and are replaced with new kids that watch the show. They don't have to change the show for an older audience for it to succeed.

>>21394782 Replacing Ash would be such a massive change that it would probably be mentioned at the beginning of his last saga, not towards the end. They would probably build up that "this is Ash's last region!" or something, and they'd actually make his dad appear at some point.

>>21394792 That's not even the recommendation. The show can be geared toward children and not be utter redundant shit. See: Digimon, Avatar, Ben 10
The show plays in like every country and is part of one of the largest multi media franchises in the world. It doesn't have to adhere to the same quality standards most cartoon shows do in order to be ok'd for new seasons. It is safe and that's why they never do anything with it and why networks still play it. Just look at the time bracket it gets played; that should tell you how much demand it has on network TV. It's just a safe slot filler for syndication.
