Serena In Alola

I don't want her to go.

We've got five new humans, not including the adults, to get invested in. Adding Serena is just going to detract from their screen time/development. Furthermore, there is no narrative perspective to include her, given that she's doing Contests to incorporate into Performances. The closest reason would be Alola has some festive dances that she could use for Performances.

Despite me not personally wanting her to go, I'm split 20:80 on her actually debuting in SM. I think she could go at some point, by virtue of being too damn popular, Dawn returned without having a valid reason for doing so. On the flip side, the ending of XYZ might have ruined any chance she will go by account of her actions - and how it's easier for the writers to sweep them under the rug by never having her return.
 
How about no? Focus on the new characters. There's also no showcases in Alola, so~.
 
I'm with Kostas. Serena looks very unlikely to return since she's currently doing Pokemon Contests in Hoenn, but there's always the chance she could pull a Dawn on us and make a surprise cameo. But then again, Iris never cameo'd during XY so the chances are extremely low.
 
I rather not, even if I do like Serena as a character, I don't think she got any reason to make a comeback in alola except for this whole shipping fuel with Ash. Let's not forget we have the cast of alola who need character developement more than one who already have a good one. ( like let's be honest, she start off weak, mostly focusing on Ash rather than being a pokemon trainer to a more mature character with something she want to do in life and put effort into it.)
