I tried, I imagined various scenario with Ash & Serena for a good anime. But whenever I put Misty/Dawn on Serena's place , it gets 10 times better. Amourshipping just doesn't generate the charm that Ash & Misty did on MPM episode 02.

Maybe its childhood goggles but Ash and Misty just makes the most sense to me. Mainly because she stuck with Ash through his worst (brash cocky hot headed self) whereas Serena was into some gay fanfic tier version of Ash.Also another reason is that I see Ash as a Kanto kid and it would be fitting for him to have a Kantonian girlfriend

> First Lead girl of the show > Nostalgia > Easily recognizable > Fun personality. > Fun dynamic with Ash and his companion. > Better shipping moments with Ash. > Actually made Ash self conscious > Red hair > Green eyes > Set to develop the largest tits among all the lead girls > Good battler & has a Mega Gyarados > She & Ash are classic couple from millennium era > Pikachu adores her The only flaw Misty actually has is her crappy hairstyle & clothes, both of which can be easily solve. While Serena needs her entire character to be rewritten and develop tits as big as Zinnia to compete with Misty. Her only advantage is that she can develop a mole underneath her lips due to XY's character customization option and people develop moles in random place until they are 40.

Not big on shipping but after watching Kanto and Johto I hit the conclusion that Misty was intentionally kept away from Serena because it is a CONSISTENT character trait for her to get aggro towards ANY girl who shows even the slightest romantic interest in Ash. I feel like the writers didn't want to stir the pot and cause a shipping war so Misty and Serena never meet or interact even though they are literally two of the most important female companions with Misty having the most episodic appearances out of all of them and Serena being the designated love interest.

Anon09/22/26, 23:29No.59613959
I did a rewatch of OG Kanto and Johto and I am 1000% certain that it is only nostalgia why anyone ships Ash and Misty. They have almost zero romantic chemistry. Jessie and Misty IRL would come off as crazy and prone to anger. Obviously, nobody would gaf about applying IRL standards to cartoon characters; we like dysfunctional dynamics like the Simpsons or Looney Toons cause it's harmless and fun to watch. But other than it being 'fun' or 'funny', there's basically zero reason to think stupid childish boy + crazy angry girl is obviously the best ship.Now, considering that people grew up on this as a weekly show, I'd imagine that there's a lot of time for people's minds to fill in the gaps and make up any fake romantic tension. But watching it all in < 2 months it's pretty clear that there's basically nothing there.I haven't gotten to a Kalos rewatch but I saw it while it was still going on and remember enjoying the character interactions. Serena getting angry at Ash being a POS that one time was pretty sad to see.

I just watched MPM 2 subbed. Idk what you're going off of man. The ending where she shyly asks to join him?The whole episode they're just ribbing each other like old friends. I never watched Journeys so idk about her interactions there, but in the OG series the closest you get is stuff like "Misty you're not pretty" of Misty yelling at Ash. Hell, the beginning of the episode, Pikachu plays a dumb friendly prank on Ash, but when does this even happen in the OG series or how often?It was a cute episode. I enjoyed the interaction between Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Psyduck, and the water pokes. I wish Team Rocket actually got something to eat, or at least the protags gave them something to eat before they BTFO. But none of this is what I'd call "romantic banter". Now unless someone has an XY episode (other than the final kissing episode) for me to watch where Ash x Serena have great romantic chemistry, I'm not gonna make any claim that Serena is better. Good friends, sure; romantic, none. You'd need to make a damn better argument to be convincingHe didn't even use her lure! Hell, he could've been lamenting that Cilan's lure sucked balls so he swapped to a Misty lure, and then the reveal happens in the end to show he actually cared about her gift.

The biggest weakness of Amourshipping is that it doesn't actually make a good story. Anybody can see that from all the Amoursgipping fan comics which are extremely cringe and has an out-of-character Ash nothing like the one people loved. While people actually felt that old Ash had returned on MPM episode 02 simply due to his interaction with Misty.Most important things about romantic plot is its ability to make a good story. Pokeshipping and Pearlshipping has that ability but Amourshipping lacks it.

The only reason current anime went downhill because the anime kept trying to shove boring uninteresting OC instead capitalizing on actual characters that can make the show actually better & even altering Ash's actual personality to fit him with boring characters..

Honestly Ash ending up with a woman that has a rack as big as this and mole underneath her lips would be enough to make all the normal fans happy even if she turns out to be a random woman appearing at the last moment. The problem are hardcore shippers who won't accept anybody over their girl & those like me who wants a fun interesting story.

It's funny how Misty definitely has a crush on Ash in the japanese version (not according to Shudo, but he also did not write the episodes that aggressively suggested it, instead he had ASH oggle MISTY) But the dub went so fucking overboard shoving it down the viewers throat that you would think its a love story and not mild awkward tension you would expect between similarly aged boys and girls

Shipping is actually very important. Just look at the the finale of most shonen manga, people were more interested in whom MC ended up with rather than the final chapter itself. Heck when Horizons started, people were more hype about Liko being Ash's daughter & identity of her mother rather than the actual series and their hype died when Liko revealed to be unrelated to Ash.

In order for Serena & Amourshipping to work in Anipoke, her entire character & her dynamic with Ash has to rewritten from scratch while Misty just needs a good hairstyle with better clothes since she already has better chemistry with Ash, nostalgia & large bust. Just slap similar bob hair as Kirie Kojima (Girl Bravo) on Misty and that would be enough for her to mog all the other girls with beauty mark.

My boomer take is that Ash and Misty was more compelling because they were two clashing characters created at the start of the show. Serena did not exist until the show was fifteen years into its run and was prominent in a season which is bizarrely disconnected from the entire rest of the series. Misty continues to appear and be integrated in all of the surrounding series. On top of that, Ash's characterization had a major shift in XY making him much nicer and toning down his brash attitude. It was nice to se a mature side to him but due to BW coming immediately before this it was less of a development and felt more like a total rebrand of the character. I simply cannot look at the Satoshi from gens 1-4 and see him behind the eyes of the one in XY. So as a result I'm just not invested in who that character ends up with.His obliviousness to Serena also becomes forced after a while. At first it's a funny shonen trait, after a while it legitimately damages their dynamic in my eyes. Young boys are hardly immune to crushes and he was absolutely not this dense in the beginning of the show. There is literally an episode where Misty having a crush on another guy throws him off of his game. His character seems to have been watered down to the standard shonen trope, leaving Serena the more compelling of the two despite being created over a decade later. I just don't see the appeal beyond wanting to live in Ash's shoes and experience Serena. I don't want to be Ash.

Another issue is that all the romantic things that Amourshipper wants to see between Ash & Serena can not happen because pokemon is kids anime that airs on TV. Example : Serena hugging Ash like pic related.Even their "kiss" had to be offscreen. On the otherhand, Ash has amazing chemistry with Misty/Dawn so the anime doesn't need to put many romantic scene outside of lovers quarrel.

She would act like a proper prim lady that every boy wants to marry but have a hidden crazy side whenever it comes to Ash due to her extreme affection toward him which is played as a joke.

All Dawn needs are large bust and similar hair/eyes color as the one from the right. She is the only lead girl that nailed being the co-protagonist, has one of the best chemistry with Ash, her Piplup is more marketable than any lead girl's pokemon & her Bunnary has crush on Pikachu. Dawn is nearly perfect except for her lack of bust.Its frustrating out of all the female protagonist, Dawn was the one Game-freak choose to make flat when all the girls before her has curvy figure which includes Kris while quiz book confirm adult Lyra to have largest rack. Sometimes I wish all the female protagonist on Pokemon shared same sized tits instead of one being superior while another being inferior.

Lets be honest, the real reason you people wanted Ash to age is because you guys wanted more older and adult woman with a large bust as Ash's love interest but him being stuck as 10 year old meant all his love interest had to be 10 year old like him. All the other anime with no aging already has an older love interest like Future Shizuka from Doraemon or Ran from Detective Conan who canonically has large chest.That why Amourshippers cling to Serena because she is older in the game. Too bad that HGSS Misty mogged her in the chest area. Amourshippers just hope Serena to be 14 year old as the Teraleak mention therefore she has time to catch up 15 year old HGSS Misty.Hopefully her mother is big enough influence her gene.

How would have the original writers wrote Serena's character on OS series? Because I don't think they would've wrote Serena to be shy & submissive even if she still had a crush on Ash since it would not have fit the style of OS series & original Ash was way different than XY Ash. They would've 100% given some weird quirk to Serena's character to make her funnier & comedic.

"Aim To be Pokemon Master" episode 02 has shown what kind of Ash and romance most people wanted in Anipoke all along. However Misty's main problem is the current atrocious artstyle that makes her hair too overly spiky and point upward therefore making her look like trans rather than the tomboyish cute girl. It as if writing staff making her ugly on purpose to shill Serena, If this is what Game-freak & OLM consider tomboyish then they have a serious problem.Even if they need to make one side of Misty's hair style spiky for whatever reason, there are better & cuter way to draw it unlike the laziness from SM artstyle since there are many other anime girl with spiky hair at one side. They could just given Misty same spiky hairstyle as pic related and with bust as big as Zinnia & red hair, she would have mogged all girls on pokemon except for those with beauty mark.

One thing Serena can do but other girls can't is openly flirt with Ash & constantly make a move on him. Misty & Dawn can't flirt with Ash without confirming their own feeling & still they are too prideful to flirt with him while Serena's crush was confirmed early in the series & she already kissed Ash so there is no need for her to hide her feeling for Ash. Maybe the anime could make her over-affectionate toward Ash and turn into a joke like those exaggerated simps like Tohru from Dragon Maid. Problem is that Pokemon is still a Kodomo anime & Ash is still 10 years old so this idea might not be appropriate for the anime.
