SakuraBlossom In that case, Serena could be compared a little to May since May was unsure of her future at first.

Plenty of Serena defenders brought up May when people would point out that Serena had no specific goal. Unlike Serena, the writers actually handled the "not knowing what to do" concept a lot better with May. At least May didn't spend 40+ episodes in the background just "being cute" and blushing over Ash.

SakuraBlossom Yeah that's true and because of that May has developed fairly well unlike Serena who depends on Ash most of the time.

Didn't she cut her hair short or something? Goodness she has little to no taste in ACTUAL fashion. Serena is getting the writer's attention, but her actual character is not. Maybe Kalos people have different fashion then the rest of the world.

For a fashionista, Serena's original outfit was nothing extraordinary and rather plain in my opinion. Her current outfit isn't an improvement either. Even though people criticized Dawn for wearing a mini-dress/miniskirt, at least her outfit alluded to the current trend in Japan during that time. I don't really know why people like her so much. All she does in an episode is blush all the time and it's really aggravating. It's all about the fanservice. A female character with an appealing visual design with a canon crush on the MC was enough to win over the fans. She's considered "waifu material". Some people also liked the whole concept of Serena not knowing what to do with her future. The writers could have handled that better though because she barely did anything about it during the first 40 episodes of XY. Wait what was dawn's outfit based off of? What trend? Also yeah serena had nothing going for her. She was basically the damsel in destress only her prince didn't know that she needed help. Or more of, he thought she could fix it on her own.

I don't really know what it's based off of really but all I know is that Dawn's outfit was designed probably because it fit the current trend in Japan that time. Serena has absolutely nothing going on for her except for the fact that she's competing in those Pokémon performances but it's really getting off to a slow start.

Dawn's miniskirt fit the trend. In Japan it's looked down upon to show any cleavage, but it's fine to wear short skirts and show off your legs.

Whatever it is, it is certainly not like Serena's outfit!
