It seems like they gave Dawn more of a starring role than they gave May. The Japanese text calls DP "The adventures of Satoshi, Hikari, and pokemon" but in AG it just called it "The adventures of Satoshi and pokemon" as if they were saying that Haruka wasn't supposed to have as big of a starring role as Satoshi. (at least that's how it felt to me)
Plus Dawn is usually in the center of the eyecatches or shares the spotlight with Ash with Brock in the background. She got her own these song as well and it got remixed about 3 times and played several times throughout the anime as well as in some of the movies while May didn't get a theme song until the end of AG right when it was almost time for her to leave. May's theme wasn't even introduced as her these because it first played as an insert song. Not to mention that Dawn's debut episode was almost entirely about her while May's was mostly about Ash and Pikachu. They also treated Piplup better as a mascot then they did with Torchic.
I know that May is a co-star but it feels like Dawn got the co-star treatment better than May did.
