That's what I thought too. While BW season 2 had more nods to previous series, I took it more like they really wanted to promote Dawn and Piplup's return due to how marketable and popular they both were. They were even included on a promotional poster for the new season, despite only staying for...

I don't know if that was the reason. I'd be more likely to believe that they just wanted more Piplup merchandise and get it to interact with Oshawott. Piplup was really popular during DP and it still is given that it's going to be in the upcoming movie. While it's possible that it could have...

Maybe, but outside of Smash Bros. Jigglypuff doesn't have much presence marketing wise. Clefairy has even less. I'm not sure if there is a lot of Pokemon that Serena or anyone for that matter could get that wouldn't be tied to just one generation.

There aren't that many Pokemon like Pikachu that could work with that, especially when Pikachu is the franchise's mascot. I don't think that Eevee would really cut it either. It does have evolutions from different generations, but that's the same reason why they wouldn't leave it unevolved...

I don't know about that. Maybe it's because of how Red look in the original artwork for R/B compared to how Ash looked in the original series, but I don't think that Ash strongly resembled Red, at least as much as Serena does to her video game counterpart. You could look at Ash and not instantly...

I don't think that having a different outfit weakens her association with Kalos. She's still based on the playable female trainer and she doesn't look significantly different with the haircut and new outfit to weaken that association, especially when she did spend roughly the first year of XY...

It seems highly unlikely that Showcases or Contest would be in Alola. I suppose it's possible that US/UM could introduce Contests in Alola, which could be interesting depending on how they handle it, but I don't think that's likely either. The show hasn't mentioned anything about them. It would...

I'm kind of surprised that people are reacting this way. Characters lasting for only one series isn't new, especially with the female leads. As others have said, this has been the status quo since AG. The female leads, along with the secondary male characters starting with BW, have been replaced...
