I HAVE TO REAFFIRM THIS AGAIN.After rewatching AG, I'm happy that Dawn defeated May. God, "the princess of Hoenn" Got a ton of help from the writers in the contests
Pizza?I HAVE TO REAFFIRM THIS AGAIN.
I JUST SEEN THE BIGGEST ROBBERY IN KANTO (SQUIRTLE VS ARIADOS) , HOLY PIZZA, IT'S OFFICIAL, I DON'T LIKE MAY AND I HATE THAT DAMN UGLY BLUE TURTLE
Just swap "sh * t" for pizzaPizza?
Also I'm glad that Dawn won, but I still think May had a bit better development regardless of the controversial contests, which reminds me of the controvertial Ash's Kanto Gym Battles
DP really did to May what JN did to me for Serena tbhAhhhhhhh I love both Dawn and May so much
Perfect end to the arc. You could tell May throughout all her battles this episode had matured and became more confident in her own style while still adapting; her skill was undeniable. And you could see the contrast in Dawn’s own style with all the ways she took advantage of moves and combinations. I also like how these wins were won by a narrow margin, May had to put up a fight and push Dawn to her limit considering all her experience. I was so happy for Dawn this ep regardless, she really deserved it. Throughout the whole Cup she was really in her element, it’s the right comeback win for her.
Ngl I teared up a bit when May left waving. She’s been on that boat for 14 years bring her back!! But with that being said the ep ended off on a really bittersweet note. Looking back on May saying her goodbyes it feels very final; this was the best sendoff she could’ve had.
I loved May back in AG and thought she was handled well for the most part, but I agree that there were some unsatisfying writing choices made anyway. I feel that way about Serena too, I generally liked her character but I didn’t agree with some of the things done back in XY. Both their returns really showed what good characters they are regardless, in the ways you said. Made me like them even moreDP really did to May what JN did to me for Serena tbh
A character I thought had potential and was good but handled badly in their series, being brought back and written so damn well with a glowup while inspiring the current pokegirls in impactful ways
How was Serena badly handled in her series besides showcases being dumb? Don’t say it’s because of Amour reasons -_-Her development was amazing and personally the line “you are my goal/you’re the person I want to be” line is accurate to her character.DP really did to May what JN did to me for Serena tbh

She was neglected for almost a full year at the beginning of the series where even a gym leader not even part of the main cast got a 5 episode arc before she got any significant focus.How was Serena badly handled in her series besides showcases being dumb?

however although the return was great, still the problems with Serena in XY are still thereDP really did to May what JN did to me for Serena tbh

No its not because of 'amour reasons' but the you're my goal scene does indeed make me gag and her farewell in XY is indeed something that left a sour taste, and no not because she kissed Ash which was a great moment, but because of her dumbass dialougeHow was Serena badly handled in her series besides showcases being dumb?

Not really. Showcases cannot be fixed at this point nor can her handling in the first year so its a moot point. Her return really expanded on the potential her XY ending had, giving smiles through people through her performances by participating in Hoenn contest lives and becoming an idol, her growing up and maturity put on display as SHE became the Aria of her time to some other rookiehowever although the return was great, still the problems with Serena in XY are still there
