As much as I loved Serena's guest episode I kind of felt she was out of place in the Hoenn contest episode and was there because the writers wouldn't physically use May.
I get Serena has been in Hoenn the whole time Ash was in Alola but why is she still there now? She should have been done a long time ago. Was she "frozen in progression" like Dawn was? The fact that Wallace was there, as well as May's ORAS outfit, Hoenn the origination of May and contests and that Serena knows May makes me think that May was originally going to be featured but the voice actor can't voice act anymore and they won't recast.
