AmourShippers are going nuts... with ONE poster

I honestly doubt that they are really shafting Serena. It just wouldn't make sense given that we've had Dawn referenced or had an indirect appearance almost every year after BW. It's known that Clemont and Bonnie would leave early, but in Serena's case, I think she'll be there at the end, giving her the roughly the same amount of screen time with Ash like the Lumiose siblings. If Serena is in Kanto, then Dawn will return to the series as a cameo appearance. While Serena won't be in Alola, if Dawn returns, both Dawn and Serena would be on their journey off to Sinnoh. And I'm sure Serena would get along well with Dawn, Dawn is basically a female Ash. And Ash didn't come alone to Kalos, so I doubt that he'll leave just by himself.




To add insult to injury for them, they stated that Tracey is at Cerulean Gym at Misty's invitation. So off screen, Misty moved on from Ash and built a relationship with Tracey.

In terms of popularity: the two most popular are Pearl and Amour. Pokeshipping over in Japan is similar to Advanceshipping over there. They're not doing so well.

But anyways, if not a reference to Dawn, she'll come back at the end of XYZ. We just haven't seen Serena or Dawn in a more relaxed, comedic setting before. Despite how bad the SM series looks to me, especially Ash. Think their way of offsetting the negativity of SM is just fanservice in the form of Serena and Dawn in Alola as students. Or they just get special episodes.
