Oh boy. This is gonna be hella fun.
I'm smart enough to know every child isn't the same and has different taste. Pokemon SM is no more unintelligent than TTG yet it's the most popular show on CN but I disgress. And Serena isn't getting a special. I'm sorry to burst any fantasy you've been conducting but SM is already into its second year and it would be disrespectful to Lillie (the current Poke girl) to randomly to make an unasked episode for Serena. The writers had their chance to give her a special but decided Alexia and Sycamore deserved it more. And Brock has nothing to do with the Pokegirls since it's harder to replace him but to this date popularity has never been able to save a Pokegirl from getting the boot. If popularity decided who stays or not, Dawn would still be here and the writers would of listened to the sad numerous polls begging Serena to go to Alola.
Then you should be smart enough to know that individuals don't matter. It's as a whole. And once again, you blatantly ignore the fact that 10-12 year old kids are much more mature than say 20 years ago.
IRONY. OH THE IRONY. FYI, SM'S CAST IS SO HALF-**SED AND UNDERDEVELOPED BECAUSE OF LILLIE. This is the biggest BS in this thread ever. Oh sh**, it's disrespectful! You know what's more disrespectful? The fact that you have the guts to call Serena having a special that would probably be in Hoenn disrespectful when Lillie having 10x development compared to the other members of the cast is much much more disrespectful.
How TF would an episode that isn't in SM be disrespectful to SM or Lillie?! Wtf? I'm not asking for a cameo lol. Like anyone would want all of Serena's development to be scrapped if she appears in the hellhole that is SM...
I like how people here seem to think popular = always good.
Spoiler alert: no, it is not.
Where TF did I say that? I never said a character being more popular than another character equals better lol. Stop shoving words in my mouth lol.
Honestly. Or that popularity gives characters superiority over other characters.
Well it definetly improves a character's chance of coming back lol. Or is that much too disrespectful?
SM still has battles, and decent ones too. Most of the excess SM cuts off is the dull or one-sided battles like the TR ones that take up over half of the other series and add barely anything but a half hearted climax, instead using a lot of that time to make more creative character-driven stories. It's not like they aren't still using their Pokemon creatively in most of these anyway, just not in the same formulaic manner of commanding attacks against antagonists/rivals and usually winning easily or having the plot bend over for them.
People excused Serena having a lacklustre record by claiming her character wasn't revolved around good battling and performances but her actual character, so in a sense wouldn't have SM's format of personality driven stories over constant battles/tournaments/etc have worked for her too? To focus on what many consider the important part of her?
I do agree that SM's approach isn't perfect and the next series should maybe try for more of a balance, but I still think it's made an absolutely vital step in character writing.
Remember that Gladion battle where TR interruped?
Yeah... Oh the irony.
And no, compared to XY, the battles aren't as good or as prevalent. And despite having that time to create "character driven stories " they still can't develop their characters! Funny...
I said the overall core of the show was that. And the core of the show is Ash. Semblance.
I'm sorry, but I don't see how it would be disrespectful to Lillie especially if it has some potential for Serena to actually get some development that doesn't directly involve Ash. Maybe it could be a build up for a Serena return arc with some changes to her character and team and maybe add more interesting character interactions with the current group (that doesn't involve a love triangle or anything like that).
This. Serena in hoenn would be great.
Pretty much.
And let's not forget that despite being "unpopular", Iris still got her own special episode.
Serena got...oh wait, she got nothing. Whoops.
In any case, I wouldn't expect Iris to make cameos in the future given how busy and popular her seiyuu is.
Same goes for Cilan.
Whoops. Let's not the forget the fact that the series Iris was in, wasn't really the best series ever.
Because why waste a SM episode if Serena already HAD a chance to get her own episode? Forget Lillie (I change my mind) it's disrespectful to the entire cast. It's characters like Mallow and Soph who could use that episode instead of giving it to an old character who already had her window of opportunity. A cameo is possible but it seems ridiculous to give Serena a special when they openly decided to give one to Sycamore and Alexia over her.
Exactly. Hopefully her VA is available although :/
Or we could delete Lillie. Actually scratch that cause Lillie is the only decent character in SM, while also insuring that the other members of SM don't get development. So blame main girl Lillie, not Serena.
Like they would ever give those characters development anyway. Lol.
I'm merely talking about the present situation. Right now, Serena has yet to make a cameo or get her own episode, which is embarrassing for a "popular" character.
Once again, you still don't know anything about the state of Serena. For all we know, she comes back in Gen 8.
The main cast, except for Lillie and to an extent Lana, is hardly getting any focus anyway either way. So I don't see how Serena's return for a couple of episodes or so would rob 'precious' chances of them getting focus/development lol.
Read Yukki's comment LMAO. She clearly said 'Serena got nothing'.
Which is pretty much nonsense, since without knowing whether Serena would appear in the SM series afterwards or not you are already saying that it's 'embarrasing'.
Irony and what seems like random blindness is very very prevalent and I laugh when I read the comments by AshxSatoshi.
