Hey guys! I'm finally back from the terrible land also known as school life! What did I mi-.........
Wait a minute, this is V3 of the Amourshipping thread? Oh nooooooooooooooo......
Well then, guess I'll just reintroduce myself to the new people.
Ikcatcher, I'm sure you have seen my name from that one beautiful strike on the first page, and also wrote two (somewhat horrible) Amourshipping fanfics that I never want to be reminded of. Used to be a big Amourshipper, but honestly the community and the show itself has numbed me where I honestly don't really care as much as I do back then.
Hey veteran, welcome to the new generation of Amourshippers. Why is it v3? Don't ask..
I came from v2 (I forgot my introductions) but was a lurker since v1.
Maybe with your experience, you can give useful prediction about what's to come.
I know Aya Matsui being the new director was bad , she just want to do another Ship to making dirty money like Serena did but it's funny how on Twitter and co every fake Amourshippers are already jumping ship and saying Mallow/Lillie can remplace Serena easily... After 3 beautiful years we have to struggle now and be strong together I guess.
Aside from that , I feel like we will not get a good closure since the wink footage in the airport is now 99,9% from XYZ 47 , and during the battle between Ash & Clemont , Serena is not there so I feel like she will be the first to leave and the good bye is just the wink... I don't want to see every one mad or give up after XYZ 47 air so I just want to warn you guys , be prepared for the worst.
A cartoon this goofy-looking won't have any shipping as exaggerated as Amour. It just doesn't match the tone. No offense to anyone who likes it though.
I know you are worried and the warning is appreciated but try not to think too far into this. Remember the preview for the upcoming Greninja episode? That only had Ash and Greninja in it and everyone was assuming that Serena had already left for that episode. In the end, Serena was still there and you can actually see her in the second preview. Holding Ash's hand and jumping off the cliff with him, a big hint for us!
As for the wink, it's too early to assume anything. She could be winking at someone else lets say Clemont or Bonnie:
Clemont: "So this is goodbye? Will we ever see you guys again?"
Ash: "Don't worry you will and when you do, we'll have another battle!"
Serena: "Yeah, this isn't goodbye forever. We'll see each other again just like old times." -Wink-
Bonnie: "Yeah, it's a promise!!!"
^ This. It's the standard for every farewell episode that we've watched so far. People going back to their native homeland and then parting ways.And really guys, I don't think they'll make Serena leaves first. Ash is going to Kanto on a plane right? And the final moment of the episode will be Ash riding on the plane. And all of Ash's friends, including Serena, will stay to stay goodbye to Ash. Hence Serena won't have a early goodbye.
E.g. Ash and Brock leaving Dawn to go back to Kanto. Also, Iris and Cilan left together since they're going somewhere different and Ash is already in this native homeland.
Even if Serena leaves early, what's the difference? She'll just say goodbye to everyone and try to say something to Ash privately but everyone would just be watching and glaring at them. That's why I think AND hoping that Serena and Ash will be together and have their last one-on-one time together. For now that is, until the S/M anime comes or goes.
