thats a good argument. Maybe sometimes they could show only 8, but 4 his four hers, or something in that direction.
Or make a female rival.(we saw some battles of Paul in gen IV)
I'm for Serena becoming a Coordinator next and to go with Ash into the generation 7 region.
Skipping Ash's Gym battles would be pretty bad. I don't think it would be good idea. We saw some of Paul's Gym battles in DP, but not every one of them and it was easier for them to skip Paul's matches simply because he wasn't a main character. Not showing a Gym battle for a female main character would be like if they had skipped all of the battles in a Contest for May or Dawn. It would be lousy writing and I don't think people would be in favor of that either. A female rival instead of a female character who also goes after Gym badges would be a better idea.
As much as I'd like the idea of Serena becoming a Coordinator, I think doing that at this point would be pretty bad, at least from a character perspective. After all of the character development she has had and all of the determination she had for becoming Kalos Queen after not having a goal herself, I think that changing her goal again would be pretty lousy. I would have loved to see Contests return, but I don't think that they could have done that with Serena due to time given when she finally got her first Princess Key. Besides that, there's no way that she'll stay past XY. They hopefully will bring back Contests for the next series, or at least have some kind of battle active goal for the female lead to do, but it isn't going to be Serena. They'll get a new female lead that promotes the seventh generation instead of the sixth.
