Serena only had 3 Pokémon, May and Dawn had 7, so it’s obvious why there were more varied appeals back then, even if the animation wasn’t as good especially in the AG era. XY’s animation just made everything look more impressive. Same reason DP’s appeals looked better than AG’s because they used CG effects in them to make them stand out more. It’s obvious the animation was improving every passing saga so naturally things looked better as they went on.
Likewise Serena was a dancer and performer, Dawn was a mix of performer/battler, and May just felt like a straight up battler who wound up doing Contests even though she KO’d most of her opponents as if she were battling in Gyms. They even bring up this plot point in late AG which is why she left.
