Actually Dawn ended up confessing her feelings to Kenny.They won’t do it with Ash again at least since we won’t have another Serena type crush ever, it’s not something you can repeat. Serena’s crush was ok if so much of her character wasn’t centered around it.
The reason the May/Drew ship worked is they were already rivals and May didn’t fall for Drew or have a crush on him immediately. She doesn’t blush over him until the hoenn Grand Festival and that was around the time she realized she might like him and that was at the end of an entire region. Drew started off jerkish but he gets nicer as AG progresses and you could tell he was teasing her on purpose.
The Kenny crush was kinda abandoned because Kenny was unpopular in general and it went nowhere.
Uh.. when? She called him "handsome" right? That was it.Actually Dawn ended up confessing her feelings to Kenny.
Having a love interest for Pikachu could be interestingNo, especially not with Ash. Pikachu is more important than any girls he encounters. For anyone else, probably.
Having a love interest for Pikachu could be interesting
Yeah but that was mostly one sided.They did that with Dawn’s Buneary
To be fair, it was their first attempt at actually writing one rather than just the random hints they'd usually give toward it. That said, they definitely should have tried harder. Who knows, maybe this is just a Western thinking vs Japanese thinking difference that's too ingrained to be able to see where the other side is coming from.No.
The writers proved they suck at writing romance.
