Hello All, Back again.
Watching X and Y and reading commentary about Serena's goal as well as keeping in mind those who felt Misty and Iris' goals left much to be desired-I wondered: what could the writers have really done to flesh each out more or currently right now with Serena's.
With Misty and Iris-focusing on one type, while challenging and to some may be mundane, ultimately is commendable I think. They've both been down to battle in tournaments and competitions and are never scared to back down. Shit, they even each beat Ash once-even if albeit they were questionable victories.
Serena's, on the other hand, while it could gather a lot for character development, as it already has. Ultimately, to a lot of people, it is a rip off of Appeal rounds and is just dress up or cooking contests with one's pokemon. People also taking issue with it being solely for girls is also something to ponder about.
For Misty and Iris-the issue seems to be the lack of a general competition, like Ash, May, and Dawn had-and to an extent Serena-that would challenge their pokemon's strengths and ultimately make them stronger. Misty freaking Idolized Loreli (Prima) from the games and they didn't even go anywhere with that.
Serena, could very well have a portion in her showcases that would allow her pokemon to grow in strength as well, not just applause.
Misty and Iris have the strength desire in their goals, while Serena has the consistency in her's. If the writers took a little bit of each and applied them to each girl's journey, I don't think many people would have complained or be complaining about Serena's goal currently.
Thoughts?
