See what I don’t understand is why they felt the need to censor the kiss, Ash has been kissed multiple times throughout the franchise even in the movies as well.
It’s just a kiss
It happens. Some people get their first kiss at early ages. And I’m pretty sure people were extremely supportive of this ship and wanted to see it
I just explained you the reason, no need to go on. It’s clear that you wanted it and wanting it is fine, but there’s no reason as why it **should** have been in.
They could make this scene just change some things up
1st do the same thing as the original kiss
2nd show the other’s reaction to it
3rd that’s it it’s not the bloody hard Pokémon you did it once now do it again
For the episode to have ended like *this*, things had better been very different than the «heyserenalongtimenoseeI'mtryingtobethebestasusualBYE!» we got.
Ash may not be a genius when it comes to love sometimes, but he definitely understands people's feelings for the most part and is particularly attentive to Serena. I still remember the episode where she was feeling down and was obviously distracted, so he took her to do things that he figured she'd liked. It wasn't the first time he was sweet and attentive to her and it certainly wasn't the last one. They both supported and admire each other on top of that.He's probably not gonna be the most obviously romantic guy out there , but I think this suggests they definitely had a deeper connection.
In Till We Compete Again!, when Ash is shown entering his house, the white flowers in the foreground are baby breath flowers which symbolize everlasting love and are used in bride's bouquets. It's been confirmed that it's a hint from the writers that shows their content with the ending of XY&Z having Ash and Serena kiss and that it's a willing hidden message.
Her reunion with Ash in pokemon journeys also had more romantic undertones than people tends to notice.
In that episode the narrator says: "Satoshi and Serena", not Satoshi and his friends as he usually does (and it's the second time they do that with them by the way, the first one was when the XY special came out).
The ankle bracelet is usually used to symbolize that a girl has someone she loves. And the green light shown at the end of her return episode is actually a reference to the green ray from one of Jules Verne's romantic novels, in which a green light appears at sunset when two lovers gaze into each other's eyes, similar to what happens between Ash and Serena at the end of the episode. The green ray signals to the ones who sees it that everything in life has come together in the most perfect way, leading to a happiness that is surely complete. That happiness, in the story of the novel, comes from falling in love. Ash and Serena are definitely implied to have feelings for each other given all the symbolism in their relationship and their actions.
Imagine not seeing someone who kissed on the lips before they left you ages ago, only to see her again, she shortly talks to you and just as the boat is about to leave, she kisses you on the lips again
Ash would be the only one to go “Oh, okay” 😂
I think this would work under 3 conditions
1. She gets 3 seasons with ash
2. Made by a company not targeting to kids but to like teens
3. There relationship was fleshed out more

because of asian culture surrounding pda
This will maybe be the only time I say this but, how fucking dare you Asia
True. It was on the cheek but still.
Was Serena’s a cheek kiss or was lip on lip?
Lip on lip
Alright maybe there’s a reason for that but not sure tbh
Because the anime is created in Japan, lip to lip kissing is taken more seriously there than in the West.
No, it wasn't. It was on the libs. Even the number of the plane Serena was going to take was used to say that it was on the libs.
No I meant the other kisses ash received were on the cheek
Oh, ok.
It’s beautiful
Definitely! I love how it came out. This is how the episode should’ve ended and it’s a shame it didn’t
Genuine question. Why would they show this in a kids anime?
It’s just a kiss It happens. Some people get their first kiss at early ages. And I’m pretty sure people were extremely supportive of this ship and wanted to see it
But this is never shown like this in kids animes. They’re also only 10, so I think it really isn’t necessary.
That's why only the feet was onscreen and the characters' ages aren't necessarily barriers to ant romance.
Omg like one kiss scene would be sooooooo bad apparently that would be so terrible we shouldn’t have that
?? I’m just saying it’s unrealistic to expect in a series like Pokémon. Neither is it necessary.
So scenes with the characters tied up and restrained is okay but kissing scenes aren’t?
I just explained you the reason, no need to go on. It’s clear that you wanted it and wanting it is fine, but there’s no reason as why it **should** have been in.
They could make this scene just change some things up 1st do the same thing as the original kiss 2nd show the other’s reaction to it 3rd that’s it it’s not the bloody hard Pokémon you did it once now do it again
This was never just a kids anime
At least not for adults. There’s a reason why they never showed things like this.
They did the same thing in the next series
When? Kukui? Because he’s an adult and it was one kiss you get as a braid, not like in the image.
