Just a thought. I mean, all the other pokégirls have had their outfits revamped during their return cameo (except for Iris who has yet to make a cameo). This early into the Kalos series, Serena has a whole new outfit and haircut to boot. How come the writers never decided to design a new outfit for Dawn?

Well, all the redesigns come from the games. Misty's came from FRLG, May's came from Emerald. Dawn's redesign from Platinum had already appeared when she, Ash, and Brock were at Snowpoint City.

Oh really? I did not know Misty's AG outfit was from a game. I really like that one too

Yeah i wondered that myself. Imagine a kalos inspired design if she did somehow stumble into the region xD

Dawn is not replaced. And I don't think she is replaced in XY.
Iris replaced Misty. During BW, Orangeshipping is canon. Serena did not replace Dawn but she did replace May. With the release of ORAS, they could have had May return to promote Hoenn but she did not. Serena has a very similar character development like May but it was much more delayed with her obvious crush. The dynamic and demographic is very similar to Advanceshipping, not Pearlshipping. They should have given Serena a Hoenn and Kanto starter like May did. Serena isn't as popular in Japan as Dawn. As an example, Misty, May and Dawn (and Lyra) all had common names in Japanese used by girls, as in Kasumi, Haruka and Hikari (and Kotone). I mean Zoey's name in Japanese is Nozomi, another girls' name. Iris definitely does not, and a name like Serena would be rare and uncommon with uncommonly used kanji, like how some girls in Japan have uncommon, kirakira names like Cocoa which have gained popularity in recent years for baby girls. Which is why for the next gen, there is a high chance of a remakes of Diamond and Pearl. Dawn's memory is not being suppressed, with the mention of her Piplup and some after credit clips of Dawn.

1) Dawn might join the main cast in SM and could change her outfit permanently 2) Dawn, like Serena would change her outfit a second/third time permanently when DP remakes are out.
So I think they have planned this out for years beforehand. Dawn will come back as a main character, Megumi Toyoguchi has alluded to this in her radio interview. I'm not too terribly fond of Serena remaining but Dawn coming back makes up for it. People think Serena is a performer when I think she still has no concrete goals. She might as well run a shop selling pastries and clothes?

I have been reading theories on Dawn's possible return and I have to say that the ideas that people share here are pretty brilliant! I'm crossing my fingers that we'll finally get to see Dawn in the main cast again.
