Why was Ash attracted to Giselle and not Serena? Was it because

Because the XY writers thought it would be funny to have the girl lust after the completely oblivious male lead.

>>30672535
It was because the first season was actually good.

>>30672535
Definitely silver of personality

>>30672562

I watched it again a bit back, indigo league does not hold up for adults.

because the whole point of the giselle episode was to teach little boys that even though someone looks cute they might have a trash personality

>>30672594
t. musty

>>30672594
>trash personality
I liked her though.

>>30672535
At the time anime main characters weren't like the faggots we have nowdays

>>30672586
what are even saying? It was better now than it was back then.

>>30673078
The Sabrina episodes will never be topped.

>>30673078
This. It was really goofy and filled with personality.

Now everything is so bland.

>>30672535
It was because Gisselle was just a one episode gag.

>>30672562
>First season was good
>Ash literally gets half of his badges by not winning Gym Matches
>Ash barely trains any of his Pokemon and still makes it to the end of the League by asspulls

Yeah, no.

>>30673344
The actual Pokemon parts were worse
But the characterization was better.

Fair?

They play safe with Serena's modest and girly personality (Bland), just remember that happened with Iris bratty harsh personality (Trash)

Giselle was a good example of a well balanced antagonist, so bad she was one day character. Could be great a cameo of she with a Alolan Marowak or a Tyrantrum.

>>30673344
Because it was better entertainment than linear badge-winning. They recognized this for the first anime. They resigned to by-the-book badge winning when they realized they were in it for the long run.

>>Ash barely trains any of his Pokemon and still makes it to the end of the League by asspulls

Oh please, you'd pull this kind of shit for any point where he was finally stopped. His poor training of Charizard was what cost him the fucking league you selective memory dip.

>>30672594
Wait, what was wrong with her personality?
Stop being so threatened by talented women, anon.

I thought we already agreed that the only good series was Diamond and Paul.

Giselle actually looks fuggable anime Serena is a moe blob trash

>>30673344
He's weak. So what? He's always weak.
At least the Pokemon had more personality.

why must you be so autistic over a shipping

>>30675361
There's no autism in this thread though, stop projecting.

>>30672535
Ash is not a race mixer.

>>30675407
>"Why was Ash attracted to this girl 19 years ago and not to this other girl"
>considering this a valid discussion

sure you say kid

>>30672535
serena basically wasn't an individual. her entire existence was "I want ash lol"

giselle was her own person, and she didn't cut her hair

>>30675677
>implying a pokemon's fantasy franchise is valid discussion for anyone 18 or older
yeah ok

>>30672535
Giselle is obviously the most attractive girl in the anime's universe. Shit like Serena doesn't hold up.

>>30673455
I can agree with that.

>>30673598
>His poor training of Charizard was what cost him the fucking league you selective memory dip.
After he swept through his first match with a Krabby he never used before.

Dae remember electric shock showdown? Best Indigo League fight.

>>30672594
Get back to cleaning the pool, Misty.

Because the first generation of Pokemon anime was actually good and the characters, namely Ash, actually had a personality.

>>30672594
Little boys didn't give a damn as long as the girl was hot. In-series, they crushed on Misty and Jesse, who tended to be bitchy. Not to mention crushing on characters like Asuka.

>>30672558
Pretty much. It was obviously just the gimmick for the gen 6 anime (and was one-sided even up to the very end) but delusional fans take it as proof that they're going to fuck each other

>>30679196
The only personality he had was being retarded. At least in XY he's "badass" even if it's still a shitty toy advertisement for children

>>30675267
-A developed supporting cast.
-No rush to get to the end.
-Battles that make sense with Ash on his A game.
-Old mons not left to rot.
-That NewGame+ end boss blitxing him completely even when he strategized the perfect counter in advance.

>>30681259
The anime was already losing me, but the ever cancerous amour shippers were the final nail in the coffin.

>>30675267
It's a meme.

>>30672594
the point of the episode was to show that there are a lot of factors that go into Pokemon battles, you need to have field experience and book knowledge
Giselle was over-confident about her book knowledge and her Cubone lost because of a field technicality that Ash/Pikachu abused
Giselle admitted there was much more for her to learn and she vowed to change her ways and improve

And there was that one weird battle where Bulbasaur somehow swept through a Beedrill and Scyther effortlessly, although lost to a Bellsprout that knew karate, and Ash would have been fucked if he didn't have Muk.

>>30672535
I want Giselle to call me a piece of shit.
Was she the one who killed Misty's Starmie?

Giselle is the character that made me experience my first boner. I felt so good seeing her onscreen. It's one of the reasons I despise Misty. Giselle gets hardly any porn yet that bitchy cunt gets a sea of it.

>>30686874
you might like karin from street fighter then

>>30686884
Request it in the nsfw drawthread then. Or i will i want to see giselle fucked in the ass. With her skirt still on.

Because she wore a school uniform. Dress Serena up in this and Ash would be fapping to her for hours.

>>30681773

or in other words

HEY KIDS SMOGON AND SHOWDOWN ISN'T REAL LIFE. BATTLING COMES FROM REAL LIFE TRAINING AND PRACTICE!

>>30672594

I'm with Brock she can violate my rights any time!

how the fuck did 4Kids miss the guns in the Squirtle Squad episode but remember the episode that explained the plothole of Ash's Tauros collection?

>>30672535
>Giselle actually had a sliver of a personality

There you go.

Serena was a soulless fangirl.

>>30686824

fucking this

>establish in the anime type advantage and level don't mean shit if you are poorly trained
>Ash loses to Richie because of a poorly trained Charizard
>Ash beats Feng Shui Bellsprout with a poke he never used

also any incident where Ash enters a new region and Pikachu gets his ass handed to him.

THIS!!
XY is a fuckking piece of SHIEET!!

>>30673598
Anime was never good because "omg ash beats da gyms xddd!!". It was an actual funny kids cartoon back then. Ever since the gen3 anime its just been a cringe fest, but from what i see the sun and moon anime is back to being a cartoon for kids again
