Here's a question I need to ask; if Serena DOES return, what will they do with her? A lot of times, when I'm scrolling through the comments on some of Pearlshipping TV's videos (or just videos about Serena's return in particular) I see a lot of people saying things like:
"Serena is going to return and I really hope that she and Ash will go out on dates and stuff like that!"
Or,
"If Serena returns in Sun and Moon, and she and Ash start having romantic scenes that'll be awesome for Amour!"
Obviously, Amourshippers are really hoping for Serena to return and get together with Ash. However, they're not being realistic here. Think about what the XYZ director said in the interview. Something like:
"Out of all the things that we can't do, this series is definitely on the edge."
To me, it seems like he's implying that they've done a lot of risky moves on the behalf of Amourshipping, and the censored kiss was pretty much the most they could do without going over the top and ending up with angry parents complaining about the romance that their kids are seeing while watching the show. That's it! This is a KIDS SHOW. If the directors had Serena come back for romantic purposes, that would COMPLETELY ruin the purpose and meaning of the show. The only reason Serena was brought to the show in the first place was for views (she barely had ANY character except for wanting to become Ash's girlfriend) and they ended up going with this whole new RISKY plot line for XY that the series had never seen before, and that was Amourshipping. Serena has a great character now, but at the beginning of XY a lot of people (non-Amourshippers) HATED her because of the reason she was on the show. But now that a lot of Amourshippers have stopped watching the anime, the series' view count has dropped. A majority of XY'S views were because of Amourshipping, and now that Serena is gone, most of those who are now watching are just people that watch it for fun and those who are curious to see what happens with the Ash ships. However, I don't think drifting Pokémon off the "friendship" and "achieving your dream" stage and changing to the "romance" stage is ever going to fully happen. If they bring Serena back for romantic purposes, sure, a lot of people will start watching again, but the meaning of Pokémon will be ruined. This is the same for ALL ships, including Pearlshipping. If they go as far as to bring Serena or any other traveling companion back and have them start traveling with Ash again, that would probably be okay. It's something we've never seen before (except for Brock,) but it might happen. But a majority of Amourshippers only want Ash and Serena to get together and be in love. And with what the meaning of the show has been for 20 years, I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.
