Why do people hate on Serena (anime character)? What did she ever do to anyone except be a good friend to Ash Ketchum and an awesome trainer herself?

Is it a pretty dumb reason? Yeah, in my opinion it kinda is, but it’s a reason nonetheless

Serena did want to see Ash again, but she also essentially used her desire for a Pokémon journey as an excuse to get out of the house. Her mom’s great but she doesn’t want to become a Ryhorn racer, she wants to follow her own path, which led to her becoming a showcase performer instead

That’s all from me, tootles

What are some creepy bestiality-promoting questions obviously asked for sexual gratification?

While I’m not a fan of her becoming a coordinator at the end of the series, it’s clear her whole character isn’t just being an Ash simp, anyone who’s actually watched the anime and payed attention can tell you that for a fact

Well, that’s pretty much my discussion on why people hate Serena… and how stupid the shipping controversy is, get over it

As for the shipping controversy… honestly, these people just need to touch some grass, it literally boils down to that. I get it, y’all prefer Ash with someone else or something, I for one like the shipping between him and Lillie better, but those of us who actually have lives know how innately stupid arguing over, literally, which two fictional characters should date truly is. Seriously, whoever wastes their time arguing over that is a professional tenth state of the USA

How did you respond to, "Why do you love me"?

As someone who does a lot of shipping himself, shipping should be a way to express yourself and your love for characters, it’s a way to dream for something, even if it’s inconsequential. But attacking innocent people & characters and hating everything else over it, and trying to make everyone else feel about how they feel? I’ve gotta say, that’s about as sad as it gets

Some fans are jealous that Ash and Serena is the most likely ship to become canon (if that ever happens), some fans think she’s just a bland character and that her crush on Ash is all there is to her, and some fans just think Ash doesn’t need a lover (which I mean, sure, whatever floats your boat). Either way, this does seem to be the biggest source of hate on Serena

As someone who’s rewatched the X&Y anime recently, the second criticism of her is just wrong… like, straight up, there is so much more to her character than just her crush on Ash, which isn’t even the most prominent thing about her character from my experience

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

The main reason people hate in Serena is because of her shipping with Ash

Other girls Ash had traveled with did show hints to liking him, and have been shipped with the guy because they think they’d be a good couple, but Serena’s by far the most obvious about her feelings towards Ash. The only other characters I can think of who have a crush on Ash as obviously as Serena are Annabel from the battle frontier and that one girl with the fire Pokémon
