I think 4. You only need 3 keys for that contest knock off. She's already confirmed to get evee and probably sylveon since she makes those cupcake poffin thingies. Idk, i think she'll either stay at four after eevee or get a 5th and final one that is a dark type so pancham will evolve. Oh wait it actually probably won't evolve because serena never battles. I mean, she's really done no battling

I mean, she's really done no battling Serena is definitely not having a full team of 6. Unlike Misty, May, and Dawn, Serena doesn't need it! Just look at Iris. She uses her Pokémon for battling more than Serena does and she only had 4 Pokémon at the end of BW. And then she got her 5th Pokémon Gible in the BW special. Cilan is the same way. If Iris and Cilan do more battling and don't have a full team of 6, then Serena isn'the going to be having 6 Pokémon anytime soon. Now Serena only has 2 Pokémon right now, 3 if you count Eevee. Giving her 3 more Pokémon before the Kalos League doesn't really make sense. But if they do, know that it's all because of fans- *gets killed* |

Serena is looking more and more like a side character. If the writers really cared about Serena:
They wouldn't have a whiny annoying voice for her (even in the Japanese version)
They would give her a full team of 6 Pokémon like they did for Dawn
They wouldn't have constantly teased Amourshipping yet not made much progress
It wouldn't have taken them almost a year, about 50 episodes in for Serena to have a GOAL! Dawn had a goal at the beginning of DP for crying out loud!
There's so much else but Serena could have been handled better. She looks great in terms of character design, but on the inside as in her development and personality, I'm not fond of her. Her undubbed voice is on par with claws on a chalkboard, similar to most dub voices.
Why was there no duet with Ash and Serena? If they were really promoted as a couple, why couldn't they do the same with movie posters where often only Ash and Dawn appeared on them? Why were there no Satosere promotional items like they did for Satohika? Amourshipping is complete bullshit designed to pull in gullible bandwagon shippers and crazy Amourshippers down into the flames! Serena, as much as I hate to break it to them, is going to end up becoming an ignored background like Misty, May, Iris.... There is no other traveling companion just like Dawn. Even though delusional Amourshippers ignore facts and claim Serena is a main character of the XY series alongside Ash. Give me a break!

Yeah, she still only has 3, which is just straight-up sad. A Braixen, a Pancham and a Sylveon? Seriously, that's all?

While you do have a point, it would have been fitting to compare Serena with May who didn't have a goal immediately either (didn't even like Pokémon). Even she didn't take 50 episodes |

Even she didn't take 50 episodes You're right in a way, Amourshipping in many ways has a lot more in common with Advanceshipping except without a threat of a major ship like Contestshipping and that we've been given more than enough clues of Serena's crush which led to 50ish episodes of not having a goal versus May who took about 1/5 the amount of episodes to decide on a goal. May obviously disliked Pokémon, Serena was just fangirling over Ash at the time. Which defined her personality, sadly. At least May does have a good deal some similarities to Ash such as love for food but Ash as we know is closest to and shares most in common with Dawn. As for Serena? She only has one personality, just crushing over Ash, that's it. And has nothing in common with Ash aside from wearing his clothes once. |

need a break from that. I cannot express how much more I appreciate fan-translations of anything now
