Which returning character was treated the best?
- Thread starter Sham
- Start date
I would say that Lillie was treated the best. As of this post, she is the only Pokégirl to have outright accomplished both of her goals. She managed to be able to touch Pokémon, and she managed to find and reunite with her father and bring her family back together again.
Yes

I loved Lillie’s return episode but it also didn’t feel like a traditional return episode. It’s more so a continuation of her story. I’m gonna go with Paul. He mellowed down a bit and shown respect towards his Pokémon while keeping his old strategies. He’s still the same old Paul who didn’t suffer from character decay due to close proximity of Ash and co. My only gist is that he should’ve aim to be a Frontier Brain rather than Gym Leader.
How?????

Do people care more about Serena as a character or her ship with Ash?

Also do you mind explaining?

Not thinking twice!
tbh my issue with Lillie's (aside from how it felt like production should've prioritized the previous episode) is it once more just being stuff happening to her without much of her own input, still a mostly good conclusion to that story, but still

Both. But most people here hate her ship with Ash that they cheer when she completely got over her romantic feelings for him in JN.
The kiss is where the Ash Greninja transformation is now. Deleted.
I respect your opinion but Lilie was the one who started the journey to which family can be happy again with Gladion Ash as its promoters. Every journey began since she found that Pokemon. We know Lilie feels but she also showed more reactions from Gladion and Lusamine and from the entire family. more than just one, it was not necessary all the cameras were after lilie when it was also arco gladion lusamine
pure straw the kiss was never reconfigured

I'm going to go with Brock, his return in the Arceus episodes was awesome 
. He was treated like a badass, he got an evo out of it too, and some new moves to boot.
Can't wait to see what else he gets when he comes back in January.

Right on cue with the narrow-minded projection.
DuquÊ?
Too lazy to pick a pic
Korrina, surpringly enough. Dunno if I'd call that "character development", but she was well portraited.
Character wise, Gary, Paul, Iris and Serena displayed they changed a lot from their past selves.
Alola gang was developed enough on their own saga, so, I couldn't tell much, except for Sophocles, who was well rounded (no pun intented).
Dawn and Brock were ok. May, Max, Tracey and Misty... they exist. Cynthia is Cynthia.
Other characters like Chuck and Drake were nice to see again, I guess.

The very few selected critical few is not most of Serebii. And if anything, some people whether they liked the ship or not, didn’t like her rather distasteful comment at her departure scene where she said she’ll become a beautiful woman for him the next time you see her. Thankfully it got fixed in the dub.
Not true. It’s scrubbed from Ash’s mind from lack of understanding but it isn’t retconned when it happened. That was to show Serena’s development. She goes from insecure, unable to barely stand close to Ash, giving up easily, and such to being able to look Ash in the eyes, more secure in herself, and clinging to her motivation to surpass her dreams even after almost accomplishing her dream of becoming Kalos Queen.

It's not narrow minded. Saying that Serena's character got shafted just because she didn't get to come back to Ash and go on a date makes no sense.
