what do you SPECIFICALLY dislike about amour/serena?

Tfw when someone says 'Amourshipping FTW' for no valid reason.

So we are basically talking about the shipping fandom in general right now.

Well the fact Serena's character is basically JUST armour shipping!
Like I know she's doing these show cases and all
But when you hear the word Serena
All that comes to mind is Armour
AND THATS NOT GOOD FOR A CHARACTER!
They need to write her better!!
Way better!
Just becuase she lost that one time she cuts her hair and changes herself
Please!
Dawn had a whole arc where she was depressed
As we all know as the depression arc
Her character needs more then just armour
Like they need to step of from that
The fact armour is so forced I really dont like it. I like something more natural and developed like Pearl!
In a relationship it cant be one sided...
The fact she went on a journey just because of ash...
It kinda makes me think that she can't move off of armour.
The fact she can only be armour...
Everything is so forced with her and how she develops was sooo slow
The fact her fenniken evevolved didnt really satisfy me like how the other pokemons evolve. Why? It really didnt seem like she desereved it just yet!
Maybe having it evovle during a better and more fitting situation.
But yeah...thats what I wanna say....
Sorry if I sound offensive

Obviously Serena's characterization plays a major role in our dislike of the ship since she is Amourshipping, but there are many other factors that play into why I don't and won't ship Amourshipping.

1. The origin of Serena's crush.
Serena gets lost at the camp she was forced to go to, gets scared by a Poliwag, hurts her knee, Ash finds her and helps her out.
"Ash and Serena belong together because they met each other as kids and he was her hero." - Common Argument
I refuse to believe that Serena is "in love" with Ash over that simple meeting. She barely knew Ash prior to joining the group. The backstory may have been "adorable", but it's a weak foundation for a ship. There was no revelation on whether they continued to interact after that chance meeting. Heck, Ash didn't even remember her when they initially met again proving that the chances of more interaction between them at the camp are pretty low. If anything, Serena is just chasing the image of the perfect boy who will hold her hand through every challenge she has to face.

2. Serena's heavy reliance on Ash
Like I mentioned before, Serena is chasing after the image of a guy who will always stay by her side and guide her through her path to self-discovery. Serena needs to learn how to be independent rather than expecting Ash to always be there to encourage her. Being too dependent on one person can hinder her ability to grow as a person. The moment he's gone, she's going to lose her motivation and feel lost.

3. Lack of confrontation and communication
This has been addressed before in a well-written analysis, so I'm not going to go into depth. A lot of Amourshippers point out that Ash and Serena have never gotten into an argument. While it may seem ideal, it is just not realistic or healthy. Arguments are natural and can strengthen a bond. When two people are in a relationship, they need to confront a issue that occurs between them. What if Ash and Serena got together, but they continued to never argue? If Serena only pouts and does nothing every time he makes a decision or does an action that she doesn't approve of, there will be major communication problems between them two. They will also both be unhappy in the relationship if this continues.

4. Lack of Development
Blushing, blushing, and more blushing. It's common knowledge that Serena likes Ash. The writers will tease and heavily focus the merchandise on those two, but it doesn't change the fact that Amourshipping has not gotten much development as a ship. There has barely been any romantic development from Ash's side, and many people tend to overlook that. Most of Ash's "hints" have been just him taking the role of the leader in the group and being a good friend. Now that there isn't an older figure in the group, Ash now has to mature and take on the role of keeping everyone in line. Encouraging Serena or helping her cross the river does not automatically mean that he is in love with her. We have yet to see actual hints of romance from Ash. It takes two to tango after all.

5. Overall a relationship between those two based on their current interactions would only head towards a path to destruction.
Amourshipping has become insanely popular just because there is finally a main girl with a canon crush on Ash. A lot of Amourshippers only view the ship through their rose-tinted glasses and fail to see that the cons outweigh the pros. As a couple, Ash and Serena would start off as an "adorable" common couple only to spiral downwards after a couple of issues and challenges that occur. They are not "relationship goals". Their dynamic isn't even that special to be honest. He doesn't treat Serena much differently compared to how he treated May.

Ash and Dawn have the best dynamic out of all of the Ash pairings. Their relationship is unique and strong that Amourshipping just cannot top no matter how much the writers promote it to please the fans. Canonicity isn't the only factor that makes a ship so wonderful. The relationship dynamic plays a major role in it as well.
