[@motoure4584]

@TheShapeH31 Bro did you even watch the xyz anime their connection was deep af. In journeys when she should they had no connection at all

[@TheShapeH31]

@@motoure4584 I did but the point of Serena's cameo in JNs was to show her growth and with that growth, she's more mature in her feelings so it's not spelled out like in XYZ. In JNs, Ash and Serena's reunion before Ash had to leave was literally a minute long and even with that minute and the episode itself, it's heavily implied she's still in love with because there were a lot subtle ways they showed it. 1. The advice Serena gave to Koharu was THE EXACT same advice Ash gave her, word for word, even imitating the body language Ash used when giving her that advice in the EXACT same way 2. Serena's stage outfit had an anklet on her left foot which in Japanese culture symbolizing having a lover or someone that you love and it's the same color as the ribbon Ash gave her in Kalos and was confused for it by the fanbase 3. In the Japanese dub, when talking to Koharu, Serena spoke to her in a deeper more mature tone but, when speaking to Ash, Serena's voice is more higher pitched and filled with energy and excitement like it was when she spoke to him in XY(Z) 4. While Ash and Serena are talking to each other about what they're done, Ash has an excitement in his voice he didn't have when talking to his other companions, matching the energy and excitement Serena had in her voice 5. While Ash and Serena are talking, Ash's eyes are reflecting the light of the sun, as was Serena's eyes which had an added sparkle in them that was shown in more emotional moments she had with Ash. 6. Ash being taken away by the ship after an emotional moment with Serena is meant to parallel the ending of XY with Serena being taken away by the escalator after her emotional moment with Ash. Also note how the episode, Serena spent the time bonding with Koharu yet the moment she saw Ash, she completely focused on him and Ash is the one to answer the question of how they knew each other and Serena just gives a passing encouraging comment to Koharu while she was more enthuastic about supporting Ash 7. Serena telling Ash she'll be the best performer if he's going to be the best battler which is meant add to Serena's comment of "being a more charming lady" to him or in other words be Ash's equal in their respective fields 8. Serena literally stayed at the dock until the sun went down and the streetlights came on as she watched Ash sail away, why would Serena do that if she didn't have feelings for him? 9. The green streetlights are a reference to the Great Gatsby where if you see a greenlight, your wish will come true along with the meaning of seeing into your lover's mind or rekindling love 10. Sylveon's Pokedex entries mention it can feel the emotions of it's trainer and after Ash has sailed so far away, Sylveon is looking at Serena with a concerned expression on her face as if sensing Serena's emotions before she finally leaves the dock. They were subtle clues but throughout the episode and the short interaction they had, it's still heavily implied if not obvious that Serena is still very much into Ash. Just after maturing in Hoenn, she's not the shy blushing mess about it now.

[@darkscarflame4822]

I used to think that Serena had the highest chance with Ash since she's the only one who actively made moves on Ash. However after watching Ultimate Journeys and seeing how he interacted with her. I'd have to say her chances aren't looking good. Of course he only saw her once as she was leaving on a boat. But honestly considering their career paths whereas ash wants to be a pokemon master that explores the world while Serena is working to become a superstar. If they were in a relationship I'd feel that ash would likely loose the freedom he enjoys so much. But if we look at how he interacted with Misty during Ultimate Journeys; It's clear to me that it's likely they're going to be the paring. You also have to consider a small clip we saw a long time ago where Misty was talking to her children about their father. I think they were heavily implying it was ash. Because I mean, who else?

[@mysterroniouscherry326]

I don’t hate Serena but I find her to be overrated because her character felt forced by the writter, being written as a love interest to Ash coming out nowhere. Her knowing Ash from childhood is a redcon, and when a character is written to be a love interest from the start, there wont be much room for complex character growth added into her character. It’s not just nostalgia I promised, but I prefer Ash’s relationship with Misty more. Misty was not written to be Ash’s love interest, and their first meeting was a hot mess. They didn’t have the best chemistry at first (man that guy fried her overpriced cerulean bike), but they developed their friendship throughout the show. Misty also started to develop genuine care for Ash as a friend, and more than a friend after. Love that sparks from friendship will always have more depth and meaning, than someone who admires a person from the get-go, because without the motivation of romantic feelings, Misty developed a pure genuine platonic care and love from Ash. So there’s more depth when I see her relationship with Ash, and how they changed each other for the better, and how Ash contributed in Misty becoming a competent gym leader.

[@miss2971]

It’s something the English dub aka 4Kids, that was notorious for f*cking with a lot of anime, added in, Misty always kinda had a crush on Ash ever since they met, despite their bad intro. When they finally went their own ways, Misty even had a song (at least in the English dub) that she really loved him, and he reacted similarly to this scene. For a while a lot of OG fans shipped them, but there’s also a lot that ship Serena with Ash instead, because this was an intentional plot. In comparison to Misty who was supposed to be nothing more than his best friend considering how much she and Brock traveled with him.

Plus, indications of Misty ending up with Ash are stronger than ever thanks to their reunion in Journeys. Plus, the "confirmation" of Ash ending up with Serena straight up doesn't even exist, and wouldn't even make sense considering the source material.

[@LittleAl016]

@somtochukwuemeka6505 The writers didn't "confirm" anything about Ash X Serena except for the fact that it never really appealed to anyone. Which is why Serena's pseudo "love interest" status isn't a factor in her return in Journeys.

I have a question about when Serena was announced in Pokemon XYZ Serena should have never been the most popular girl in Pokemon because the most popular girl that was really in Pokemon and that was Misty even Misty through hints to Ash that they would get married and also have their first kiss but I think the creators of Pokemon that made Pokemon XYZ went into a whole different storyline and ever since they did that the whole Pokemon stories were becoming too confusing for people to watch anymore I was a big Pokemon fan myself and I'm glad that they brought back the old Pokemon TV shows on Pluto TV and now that the actress that played Misty and Jesse God bless her soul that we have lost one of the most popular anime female actress that made Pokemon famous I mean I've think that Pokemon is one of the most popular shows still today in history for adults and kids because Pokemon is still a loving show that's but now there's a new issue where I've been reading up on Google and also online where the Pokemon shows that was like Pokemon advance and also Pokemon diamonds and pearls was also one of the most popular shows that was there in the late 2000s and the thing is any more people wants to know more about the newer ones then the other shows I respect more of the older shows that I did the new ones and I don't have nothing against Serena but Serena was more like a replacement of Misty then they did and the older shows and that was the reason why I do not like Pokemon XYZ for that reason so I don't care if anybody tells me well all the other shows was good I still think today that the older shows were still better next to the older movies as well so I appreciate this time to speak to you guys about if there's any more questions later down the line I'll still be here to talk to you guys more about Pokemon and more news about thank you and have a goodnight

[@kristinahuchison2511]

Same. I think in a way Ash liked her too, just was too dumb to realize it was a crush considering how many times he teased her, but was also too focused on being a trainer to be in a relationship. Plus Misty supported him a lot and was shown several times having feelings for him, including a song when they formally went their own ways. I haven’t seen Serena’s story in the show, but her feelings for Ash always seemed like a one sided love and he only liked her as a friend. I just like how Misty was his best friend in the first few seasons before they developed feelings for each other, while Serena imo always viewed him as a childhood crush she never really got over. AshXMisty for life

[@spookykatelyn2161]

​@kristinahuchison2511 I agree ash and misty had more screen time and had more time hinting their feelings. Even though ash was too dumb to notice it. Serena and ash it definitely feels one sided when you consider that anyway flashbacks or daydreams are all from Serena. Which is odd when you think shouldn't ash have some as well. Nope none from him who is the main protagonist of the show. also I agree ash treats her no different than any of his friends, The only difference is Serena doesn't even argue with him which is bad for relationships if there is no balance of disagreements at times when necessary. Plus it feels fake if Serena is being too nice and not calling out ash of anything stupid to help him grow. That one argument when they were out in the snow doesn't count because it was poorly executed and one sided because Serena missed the point of why he was depressed and her imagine of ash was damaged because he got mad at her for the first time. I don't care what her fans say, what she did was selfish because ash got mad at her for the first time. All she wanted was the ash she imagined in her head to be present not the normal flawed ash that all true fans knew. Which is why I don't think Serena love for ash isn't true love. Sorry I'd that almost came off as a rant. I dont hate Serena, i just dont like how anime Serena was written. I think how misty and ash was handled was better when it came to the writing.
