My only real issue with the anime is the crazy fans that take it too far (and HURT OTHER PEOPLE over it).....like a lot of the amour shipping community (and i heard the pokeshippers are often this too).
Otherwise, I pretty much just like the pokemon anime a lot. Its generally light hearted and cute and just plain FUN imo. Its the crazy fans that ruin parts of it for me...(like thanks to THE DRAMA that amour shippers tend to start, i don't like serena so much anymore xD; drama FOR THE LOSE.....no one should be into starting it o_o; seriously. its just not worth the trouble or heart ache it causes others :<)
I know there are amour shippers who are very nice people (like code helmet for instance. he's awesome^^). But I still rather not be much of an amour shipper/serena fan in general myself due to the fact that most of the fandom for that ship really does seem to be into starting drama with other fans :/ And I just.....want to distance myself from all forms of drama as much as I can.
I prefer pearlshipping. The fans of that ship seem like pretty peace loving people from what i've witnessed :) That....does make it more appealing to me overall. Plus, I did always like dawn quite a bit, anyways, so I wouldn't really mind Ash ending up with someone like her personally really. I'm not really against amour shipping: I'm just against the fans of it who bully other pokemon fans and shippers. Those people need to grow up. They're the types that really make Pokemon seem like a kiddy show, if anything :/
Also, while I prefer not to get caught up in the serena/amour shipping drama, I don't really mind liking Serena's pokemon so much. They're just sweet and girly and don't really have anything to do with amour shipping in terms of her character overall xD; at least not in my opinion. They seem like nice pokemon to me, and seeing them perform in showcases i must say can be rather pretty.
