>>55529103>How much of Serena's popularity in the anime was due to her thing with Ash?all of it. like literally all of it. in terms of actual character arcs she has maybe the worst of all the ash-era anime female characters.
the thing is third worlders self insert as ash, so the idea of a white blonde western girl obsessing over them makes them go crazy. that’s what serenas “popularity” comes from. dumb dirty thirdies
