I've noticed on Serebii that the Amourshipping thread has been getting new people. They say that Amourshipping is their favorite part of the series, not the graphics/animation or the pace.
Emphasis on the word "new". Are new people actually watching the show because of all of this? Does Serena actually get more viewers for the show?
If Serena is Amour, then that means that the shipping portion is also just to get people interested. The Amourshippers there recognize that they are "being teased with false information". These are their words, not mine. They are driven with the future possibility, just like with every new ship.
As far as new viewers go, I believe no one is especially watching it in English simply because they see Ash is getting old. I personally believe the series should have ended with DP; it would have been the best ending. Oh well.
To conclude, most of the Amourshippers aren't really new viewers and only the internet communities are a fan of it. There might be some who haven't watched Pokémon before, but least with the people I know, I'm not seeing XY bringing in new viewers.

I could be wrong though, what does everyone else (not the internet, countries and their kids) think about XY? (And Serena)

I like XY mainly for the improved battles compared to BW (though it sucks that Iron Tail isn't iron no more), the camera views are more active, and Clemont and Bonnie (great companions). Serena herself is just standard for the moment, which is not bad for the show, but we're used to see these girls being active at first, even I expect more for Serena's initial role. Right now she's kind of the Brock (AG/DP version) of the group until XY steps up her game play.

For Amourshipping, all there is for the moment is simply Serena's "attraction" to Ash. That's it. Just a cliche thing. To them, it seems to be enough to fuel their interest. For me, they can do (or could have done) more things.

XY is getting alot of new dub viewers because they are seeing the Amour blitz i dub it with episodes 5-7 and 13. So they don't know any better and also alot of what i read on serebii from them is they think she is cute which i tend to agree Serena is hot of all the pokegirls she is vastly behind Hikari but noone else. The battles and pacing are slow for now The animation is awesome but the battles dont last long at all and hopefully the pacing will increase after the second badge.

Let people have there fun with Amour and XY tons of people jumped on the Negai bandwagon off of BW 03 alone and look where they are now in Amour....It happens every gen.

Well, cute, is not what's important. What I tend to agree with, nothing related to Serena, is that the XY-series have great animations, the battle animations are pretty nice. But that's obvious, since every new series get better in animations and such, because of the improvement in technology, etc.

I also tend to agree with Hika. It's always the case with new generations: people tend to go and jump to the new ships, and tend to jump off again after the series' end. It's like a cycle with every new series. That will be the case for Amour and XY to. But we all know that Pearlshipping is the only realistic one, since Ash shows nothing towards Serena (as of now).

Yet it hardly made a dent in Japan. Places like 2ch and 2chan hardly talk about Amourshipping at all. Japanese are still very attached to Dawn and they want her to come back. Serena has far more hate threads in just three years than what little hate threads Dawn and Piplup had over at least four years.

If they only bring Serena back for Alola, the next series would not be very popular. They have to bring Dawn back.

JohtoFesta: Nesh I'll say! I love how Pearl comes out on top no matter what. The writers respecting Dawn and her best-friendship with Ash even to this day is AMAZING. This is what she deserved. It makes sense she'd be the one to be there for him. This is all I wanted

auda: It's up and ready now, go check it out! It's been a reeeally long wait for that manga to get translated. This was literally a, "if you want something done, do it yourself" thing for me. Hope you all enjoy.

auda: It's finally done. The only things left to do is to re-read it over to make sure I didn't miss anything or left typos. Then lastly cutting the pages in two, where needed, since each image is two pages each. Expect this out within the next few days!
