Why did Serena's return make Serena haters seethe so hard?
>>56575998
Based general of autistic sperg psychos
>>56576157The leaks are talking about Serenahaters like you, though.
>>56576045Can't trust people who hate Serena, they send death threats to innocent people like Yajima and threaten arson.
>>56576113perfect for typhlosion mind rape and impregnation
>>56576045amourschizos*Good thing they sank her and that awful ship
>>56576045So I’ll put my two cents here. This could be talking about either side.I can absolutely see amourshippers sending death threats for not getting to see Ash impregnate Serena on screen, as there has been disappointment on how the episode had handled Serena’s return (even though just because westerners can’t into subtlety and metaphors) on the side of Serena fans. Plus there’s the language of “There are always a few individually attached individuals” can be seen as pretty damning.There are doubts, however, as Yajima didn’t work on the episode, and in terms of Serena fans, Yajima is pretty much the messiah when it comes to that, so that makes less sense as to why he’d receive threats.On the other hand, it could be referring to the hatebase that Serena gets as during JN, there was an absolutely absurd amount of anti-Serena shitposting going on both here and Twitter. Need I remind you of the sheer amount of edits and threads people here have made to spite Serena back then? Dawnfags and Gohfags were especially heinous with this. However, those people take the opposite approach with Serena’s episode (with out of context screencaps of Ash running past Serena) and claiming that Serena’s lack of interaction with Ash is the death kneel of the ship (which anyone with half a brain would find laughable).I kind of think that with the language, the convo was referring to amourshippers, but I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if it was referring to the hatebase. Just my two cents. I will say that Serena is pretty unique in the fact that her hatebase is utterly gigantic, and there are people out there who always go out of their way to draw Serena in demeaning positions, and people who legit commission Serena NTR and purposefully tag amourshipping tags on them.
>>56576277Case in point. Hi, pearlfaggot.
>>56576580Made by anime staff btw
Serena returns to HZ since same universeJoins Liko's Harem.
Had a couple Serena commissions done recently. Thought some people might like to check them and the artist out.https://www.deviantart.com/daimosz/art/COM-Serena-In-Wonderland-Just-A-Little-Sip-1109444586
>>56577003If you have an account over there, be sure to give them a visit and some faves. They're always open for commission work for those interested.
>>56576580Reminder, no matter what unhinged shit either "side" did, it doesn't change the fact that they canonically won.
So the leaker has Z-A and is just sitting on it without doing anything? Bruh
>>56577602I don't think one can truly say either side really won given Ash's ending was kinda shit. But it's whatever at this point.
Y-chan <3
>>56576045>There are always a few overly attached individualsI don't think he's referring to haters based on this line alone. I definitely saw people calling staff names for not letting them properly reunite back then. That's sad.
>>56576876
So much leak threads on the catalog, is there a good tl;dr?
>>56580166The anime-related tl;dr is "Fuck Yuyama."
#1
>>56576045>>56576397I honestly don't understand people flipping out about this. This isn't a new revelation. The fact that shitty people, lovers and haters of Serena, were posting death threats against multiple Pokémon accounts, including Yajima, before and after JN105 was acknowledged at the time. All this confirms is that they were aware of it. There were death threats during XY following the dance episode, and death threats after the Kalos League. I'm surprised that people are surprised Xitters are horrible people.
>>56581595I hate Twittertards so much
i dont even go here but damn every thread is talking about it also is serenas ass fat
>>56582477>is serenas ass fat
>>56582477With great power comes great responsibility.
>>56582477i heard she cleared out Restaurant Le Wow by herself
>>56578952That line is a mistranslation. He's definitely talking about antis, Serena fans loved that episode.
>>56576397based on this >>56583230 I say it's almost guaranteed to be referring to the haters.
>>56583230So what would it actually say if properly translated?
thanks for the answer anons that is a nice ass
>>56578888
>>56583790That poster gave it: "Director Yajima got harassed on Twitter by foreigners back when Serena returned too. They were sending him death threats." The part about "overly attached individuals" seems to be entirely incorrect, and given that was the most damning line against the pro-Serena crowd, it appears much more like they were referring to the anti-Serena crowd doing the harassment and death threats.
>>56584574Yeah, the final line there is 粘着された. It means "(he) got harassed", but whoever translated this interpreted it literally as "(they) got attached" and then turned it into that bit about "overly attached individuals" when trying to make sense of it.This was either machine translated or translated by someone with a very poor handle on Japanese.
>>56585049Why do people that can't translate try to translate important shit like this?
>>56582628Why does her ass need to be so big
>>56586877Satoshi is an ass man
That horrible feeling that more official Serena content is just around the corner with the leaks and Z-A incoming but it feels like it'll never come out.
>>56588146Be patient.
>>56585049>>5658609350% chance they used ChatGPT, 50% chance they used Google. 0% the original guy manually translated, since they clearly rushed it out.
>>56584313me before seeing this: AI art is always ugly and uncanny and soullessme now: you know, everything has its place
>>56588146Mootmonthly claims the Z-A protags are from Paldea. Though everyone else in the server he's in, is calling bullshit.
>>56589348Mootmonthly is a fucking retard who's been posting mistranslated bullshit way too much for anyone with a brain to trust anything he says.
>>56589587He's always been a fuckhead. Guy got too high on his own clout.
does she ever wear those stupid glasses
>>56583230>>56584574>>56585049You know, I really hate when people give half-assed English translations and then just hide away the Japanese so no one can check their work. Here it is, the full line, copied directly from the leaked document:>直近、セレナ再登場の時も矢嶋監督にTwitterで海外から殺人予告が来た。粘着された。どう転ばせても粘着する人はいるというのは感じる。Now, do what you will with this.
>>56590360It was posted in this thread too, anon >>56583230 It was never being hidden from anyone.Also picrel from another thread that brought this line up.
It's still very odd we never got a beach episode in XY to see Serena in her bathing suit clearly. EVERY other girl got a full body frame as well as multiple scenes in their bikini's. I guess they figured her cosplays (SatoRena, and FenneRena) would suffice?
>>56590707No, no, I don't mean to suggest I'm disagreeing with those I (You)'d. I'm just venting about the initial mistranslation that was originally passed around, and still is passed around, not the above correction. However, I find it odd people are leaving out the "どう転ばせても粘着する人はいるというのは感じる" sentence, although it just means, I think, "Nevertheless, I feel that there will always be people who harass others." I'm just upset that it took till someone actually checked the Japanese to realize the initial translation was faulty.
>>56591621I think it was left out because the quote here leaves it out >>56576045As you say, it's not like that line changes the meaning of any of the earlier lines.
>>56592170Correct, but I feel it's worth including the last sentence because omitting it could give someone the wrong idea that the "overly attached individuals" line actually does exist but that the "Serenafags" aren't translating it, rather than the sentence actually being a "nothing" sentence, which is why the more recent translator left it out. I included it just for completion's sake. It doesn't hurt to cover all the bases when there's dumb controversy.
>>56591601To be fair if you're a white woman in France the LAST thing you want to do is take your clothes off in a public space
>>56592353Yeah, that's fair. Pretty sure the translation you posted is accurate too, btw.
>>56588146Every game that has customized chars I just make Serena anyway. In my mind it's either Serena herself or her daughter if I can't get it to look close enough.
>>56592622I still find that scene a bit surreal for Pokemon. In any other anime it be a bit more normal.did serena like the feel of Ash resting his head on her tits
>>56592756>spoilerShe probably still imagines it as Ash "making a move" on her, and kept playing back the moment in her head for weeks afterward. Probably still so after she was in Hoenn, even after having taken his mouth virginity.
>>56586877To breed with Ash who is an ass man.
>>56587734>>56595628Would Serena be willing to let Ash do anal with her big ass, since he's such an ass man? Or is she too pure for buttstuff?
>>56596068No, because anal is for WHORES like Chloe and Dawn.
>>56596068purity is a starting pointanal is a matter of time

>>56576397Yeah, but what would serena do with an ash plushie?
>>56612052 Cuddle it in bed.
>>56608833Built for buttsex
>>56576045Genuinely makes me feel bad seeing stuff like this. I always wondered why, given how popular she is in the anime, Serena's reappearance virtually got zero publicity and build-up. It's evident now that it was just TCP trying to avoid the wrath of temperamental fans.Obviously it's a case of one bad apple spoiling the barrel, but there's just something more demeaning having actual staff recount the autism of a fanbase, as opposed to the usual ire from other retards in the online community. Shit sucks, but live and let live I suppose.
>>56613827Yeah. Serena fans are insufferable cunts.
>>56613827You know that's a complete nonsense, if you want to avoid something you don't give it a whole fucking episode. They leaked those posters days before the episode for a reason, it was some kind of reverse campaign and it was successful.
>>56614026No one is talking about Misty/Dawn's returns, it's all about Serena here and there.
>>56614026another episode wasted oh kekharu and her stupid eevee showcase arc
I wasn't mad that she came back, nor was I really upset that she and Ash didn't get to interact. But it will always find it funny how they designed the episode in such a way to specifically avoid having Ash/Serena interact, especially when you compare it every other past character Ash met. The shitposting that followed was unfortunate but unavoidable I guess.
Quality > Quantity.
>>56614185Regardless of how you feel about the episode it doesn't really change what I said. There was a clear avoidance, compared to every other cameo (Clemont and Bonnie got two episodes, Alola crew to several, Cilan had an entire episode hanging with Ash and co., etc). And that ultimately was probably for the best considering how the bad apples of both sides tend to act.
>>56614026I enjoyed her return; it was a good episode especially considering is was a Koharu one. I don't agree with your reverse campaign hypothesis though. but it's all speculation anyway.
>>56614026I want to see JN Serena without that stupid hat and balding pigtails.
>>56614345Yeah but they are not Serena, they didn't kiss a 10 yo boy, it's not easy to handle what happened on this japanese kids' show.
I'm surprised more Amourfags aren't latching onto the very next line in the transcript, where Sugimori pretty unambiguously says Satosere was designed as a "romance" (恋愛), even if he then says that unstable fans are why the subject should be typically avoided or danced around in Pokémon.
>>56614706I understand Sugimori has nothing to do with the anime, he just gossips with his coworkers about it.
>>56614641>>56614706I mean, it should have been pretty fucking obvious why the episode was written the way it was. But both side were just spouting nonense like the "green lights", or it being "retconned". It was simply down to the fact that, Pokemon isn't a fucking romance anime and that any prolonged Ash/Serena interaction would probably have to address it in some fashion. So they wrote an episode around it and in a pretty amusing way with Wallace being flamboyant and extra as fuck.
>>56614185what fucking quality
>>56614345>>56614926>>56615246westoids cannot into subtlety, nuance, metaphors, or anything that isn't spelled out for a 5 year old.
>>56615796that's just every anime audience
>>56614926They wrote the episode that way because it was about Koharu, not Ash. It was the same reason he and Goh were absent for most of Dawn's first Journey's episode, to give Koharu and the returning girl time to interact. The obvious difference is that they had no intention of bringing Serena back after that episode while they knew Dawn was getting more, so they had to have them interact somewhat before she left forever. It's obvious that the writers are done with amour so I'm not sure what else people were expecting.
Gee, it's almost like Flopharu was a mistake.
>>56616367Hi pearlnigger
>>56616262They had an episode with Goh meeting and getting to know the Alola cast, while also giving Ash time to interact with them too. The point here is that Ash's interactions with past characters wasn't entirely sacrificed for newer characters getting to know other characters. Obviously they were done with it, hence why they wrote it like that. Any extended time with them together on the same screen would be essentially ignoring an elephant in the room, which is why they kept it short, to no commit to anything because that's not what the show was about. You CAN make an episode with past characters coming back and having interactions with Ash. See May in DP, there was a reference to their last interaction even with Dawn present.
>>56616410anyone who shits on JN is my friend
>>56616716You need to go back.
>>56616610Anon, the episode went more or less the way most fans expected it to. The way they had to play with the censors just to get the kiss on TV at all means it would be very difficult to do an episode where they actually address it. People had been speculating that a Serena return episode would have her and Satoshi accidentally miss each other the entire episode for years, that's part of why them getting the little interaction they did was so well received. It was more than most had hoped for.
>>56616610May x Ash
>>56614706...because we always knew it was unambiguously a romance? He wasn't saying anything new here.
>>56616837I think we're kinda saying the same thing here anon. I was mostly addressing the extremist on both sides.
>>56616610If there was an elephant in the room they wouldn't have had them interact at all, they just didn't care. Same reason Ash-Greninja wasn't referenced in his episode, because that storyline was done and they had no intentions of furthering it in any way. Thinking they were hiding it is just dumb.
>>56616959I really doubt it was FANS they were having an issue with.

>tfw came out unscathed from the leaksthank god
>>56619652apparently they are actually going to leak Z-A, so hold onto your butts
>>56599697no respect for the hood, all clean and shit
>>56619652Pretty much. If anything, given the iron grip Yuyama had on the anime, and how strong his veto power was on 99% of the rest of the production, the fact that Yajima's Serena stuff, including the kiss, all got approved by Yuyama is actually quite impressive. I just hope there's more cute Gamerena content forthcoming.
>>56619652>no NSFW Serena fanfiction written by Game FreakCowards
>>56618291Yes. Procreation is good.
>>56621059But they're not married yet, and Serena wasn't having sex with him for procreation in that doujin, but to relieve him.
>>56621177Always thinking of others before herself… Serena is truly best girl.
>>56616755I still wish they just had Ash jump off the ferry and tell Goh and Chloe that he was going to stay in Lilycove for a little longer to catch up with Serena, and then fly back on Dragonite the next day. They wouldn't have had to show them even do anything and could've started up JN106 with Ash back in Vermilion City like nothing ever happened.
>>56622369Would have been neat but it's w/e. I think Serena and Tracey were the only ones he didn't spend a significant amount of time with in JN in terms of old companions. Serena seems to be pretty busy unlike a lot of the other main girls so it's understandable.
>>56616610>>56616838Satoharu is my #2 behind Satosere. I still find them cute.
>>56624495SATOSHIIIIIIIII
>>56624495I know a bunch of old Advanceshippers and Pearlshippers who flipped to Amourshippers during and after XY. I'm guessing you were one of the Advanceshippers?
>>56624687That's correct, I always liked Ash and May's chemistry since the first AG episode but I fell hard for both amour and Serena as a character during XY, so Satosere took new priority but I still enjoy Satoharu art and fics when I can get them. I just imagine Satoharu as a world where XY and Serena don't exist when reading those stories.
>>56624887I guess to be fair, most didn't since it's so ancient>tfw Subs for AG are impossible as fuck to come by
>>56625078I heard the same group who subbed Indigo and Orange decided to sub Johto, AG, and even DP in order to fill in the gap that exists prior to 90 or so episodes into DP. Whenever they're done, I might do I straight run from the start of Indigo all the way to the end of DP, subbed. But I haven't heard anything since they dropped Orange other then a general "we're working on it".

What instrument does Serena play?
>>56637063The clarinet because it's long, vertical, held with two hands and she puts her lips on the tip end. Good practice.
Normally I dislike you Serenatards but I saw >>56590360 and that gives me hope because this is unironically one of the best posts I've seen on this board for a long time. Too many ecelebs recently just dumped out their "translations" of magazines (citing the april corocoro issue of this year as an example: https://arch.b4k.co/vp/thread/55740820/#55742571) where even someone who couldn't even speak Japanese himself was able to see it's bullshit.Every translation of magazines, leaks and images should always be accompanied with the original text for the sake of transparency.
>>56637063Obviously accordion
>>56637247100%. Anyone who's ever spent time with languages knows never to take amateur or even professional translations uncritically and at face value. Original language should always be published alongside like it's the fucking Loeb books.
>>56635818Making the backrground siginficantly less pink in the actual episode was a strange small change.
Will she have it pink?
>>56637247Koharufag passing by and supporting this notion, always hardpress for the original text no matter how that comes off because by putting the text alongside your TL you're allowing others to check shit themselves to immediately curbstomp misunderstandings. Dismiss any posters with TLs that are refusing to quote the lines or even providing images of the text that was translated.
>>56637063Serena plays the guitar.
>Koharufagkys
What anime Serena need are --> 1. Becoming the most attractive eye-candy.> 2. Genuine closeness with Ash that doesn't feel superficial like XY and XY&Z series.> 3. Weird quirks that makes her funny and hilarious. Pokémon is a kids anime so humour is more important than the story.
>>56595550
>>56638460lusting over Ash is her funny quirk
>>56637608>KoharufagWhat's the appeal?
>>56639399nta but her indifference at first is pretty funny, and I just think she’s cuteplus she and Serena are now frens
>>56639205Only if it was handled as comedy and not as serious romantic subplot. Unfortunately XY tried to write a romantic subplot between two children that wasn't allowed to age. The anime could have handled Serena as strong, mature, modest and smart "Onee-san" character that every boy has a crush on (except Ash) and has a weird switch that flips whenever Ash in involved which is play as a running gag. For example: Nanaka from Grand Blue.
Go away, Famon

>>56663960So it's now confirmed Ash and Serena's first meeting was the year after the flashback in the first Journeys episode? Since it's stated that Ash was 6 in that episode, does that mean we now know Ash and Serena met when they were 7?

>>56663960Canon
>>56665261>French>Americans and the BritishAt least the wholesome Japanese girls come from regions where her favorite Pokemon are popular and beloved. Galar just steals from them to try to fit in. But also she would like girly girls so anyone with an inch of boyishness or tomboyishness would be a slight turn off for her. So while she might hold a conversation with Kris, Hilda or Julianna she definitely wouldn't want to be in the same room for long
