I'm going to call "A PokéVision of Things to Come!", "Going for the Gold!" and since I assume they're related, "Coming Back for the Gold!" "Coming Back for the Gold!" is not related in anyway way to "Going for the Gold!" (the only thing they share is they are both set in Ambrette Town) in fact the former has nothing to do with gold, which I had pointed out in the dub episodes info thread. The episode features an Amaura and an Aurorus, so I think it's a mistake and "Gold" is supposed to be "Cold" as those Pokémon are Ice-types, let's wait to see what Cartoon Network and the official Pokémon website puts. |

If none of those are that upcoming episode where James impersonates Ash then I want that one.

They're not. Knowing the air dates, that episode will likely air on 26th July.

It is settled, then. So, unless someone calls for another episode, I am taking up all the episodes between the museum one and the Team Rocket disguises one. That means, from the second Gym battle episode to the miss Glitter (Diantha) episode. Also, LUNI_TUNZ, prepare yourself well for the PokéVision episode. This is quite a dodgy one! Serena is about to shoot a video that promotes her and her Pokemon's attractive qualities, and then upload it to the Internet!  ... Get what you like from this information, and see for yourself when it airs. |

If there are any you don't particularly want to do just lemme know and I'll gladly lighten the load for you. |

There is not much. They are a total of four episodes between.
Let me give you a brief summary of these episodes:
A Gym battle.
A Serena filler.
A Bonnie filler.
A Champion encounter, along with Professor Sexymore.
I can take up all four of them, especially considering that I have done the least amount of work so far, but in case you want any of them, you can tell me.

I personally think you shouldn't write guides for Serena episodes, Swampert, since you clearly don't like her. It wouldn't be very entertaining to read a guide where you would get the chance to insult her in every other sentence.

Heheh, chill out, fellow Dodger. Now I always give my reasons for calling her names. This particular episode apparently has no reason for me to do so, unless of course her day rival keeps the "head in the clouds" quote in the dub.
That said, I feel quite lucky for not taking up the museum episode. Generally, I have no interest in Serena, but this is the only episode that actually made me angry and mad at her; she has a greater time in a boutique rather than in a museum, she can not understand the value of a fossil, Twitch users are going to be mad at her and she needs a lesson straight from the claws of an Aerodactyl! Even Ash, ASH(!), yes, Ash, had a greater time there! If that is not bimbo, then what is? So yeah, I am glad that LUNI_TUNZ will take up the guide for this episode, but the Pokepuff episode has nothing for you to worry about.

So yeah, I am glad that LUNI_TUNZ will take up the guide for this episode, but the Pokepuff episode has nothing for you to worry about. C'mon, she's a ten year old girl. Why WOULD she want to go to a museum? I'm 20 and the last time I went to a museum was when I was forced to for a school project, which I did my best to half-ass. I remember the first time you mentioned her being a bimbo and I realized I wasn't too sure what a bimbo actually was, so I hit up Urban Dictionary and got this: "A girl who is stupid, wears lots of make up and is obsessed with boys and clothes. Generally blonde but there are exceptions. Usually hang around with other bimbos. You can spot them because they will be the big group of girls that all look the same and are giggling hysterically." "Woman who is not attractive enough to be a model, not intelligent enough to be an actress, and not nice enough to be a poisonous snake." Some of that stuff applies to her, but I wouldn't exactly say she's a bimbo for it. |

C'mon, she's a ten year old girl. Why WOULD she want to go to a museum? Still, a museum is more interesting and entertaining than a clothing boutique. If I was forced to go to one of the two, I would definitely choose the museum, especially in the Pokemon world. Well done! A bimbo is a female, usually blonde (of course there are exceptions, and not all blondes are bimbos), who is way more concerned for her appearance than necessary, is obsessed with boys and clothes, and is dumb all around. ATTENTION!: A bimbo is NOT necessarily a slut, a whore, or a bitch. She is just a simpleton, air-head, dense woman. Now, let us get down to Serena's character. First of all, the reason she went out on a journey is... wait... Ah, never mind, let's go to the next one. She is so concerned for her appearance to the point that she would rather get molested by an out-of-control robot (see: A Pokevision of Things to Come!) and manipulated by an evil squid (see: A Conspiracy to Conquer!) than have her gorgeous appearance ruined, or her beautiful face scratched. She would spend ages in order to find the "perfect hat" (see: A Battle of Aerial Mobility!), and she gets way too excited with the idea of visiting the clothing boutique... I should not mention the museum and the comparison with Ash (also known as: the pinnacle of stupidity) again, should I? In conclusion: Serena has good traits. She is kind and polite like a true lady, she can be smart at times; she was the one that came up with the impersonation plan (see: To Catch a Pokemon Smuggler!), she would rather get dirty herself in order to protect her beloved partner (that indicates selflessness), and most importantly: she is NOT a hypocrite (hello Iris!)! But, beyond that, she is your average girl stereotype: obsessed with clothes, her lover and her appearance. While she may not be talking on the phone for six straight hours, hanging out with other bimbos, and giggling hysterically for no reason, she is pretty damn close to being a bimbo. At least, you were the only one so far who looked up his stuff before getting into a kind of debate with me. I once more sincerely congratulate you.  |

Fine, I give up. Call her whatever you want. I do agree with you on some things, at least - Serena is very kind and polite and quite selfless and most importantly NOT a hypocrite. I don't care if some of the characteristics of a typical bimbo apply to her, because as far as I'm concerned, liking clothes and taking care of your looks is perfectly normal for a lot of girls her age. Sure, it's a stereotype, but I believe it's a rather accurate one. Also, if I had to make a choice between going to a museum and doing something I actually like, I'd totally ditch the museum too.

My thoughts on Serena is she's very 'meh' and I find that all previous female companions were much better than her.
Heck, thanks to Serena I now appreciate Iris more. Serena just feels like a big downgrade from the uniqueness of Iris.

Yeah, Iris was pretty unique all right - she was the first twerp I never liked. Give me Tracey or Max any day, just don't ever bring Iris back, please.

At least Iris did plenty and made herself stand out. So far Serena has none of that, she's just a girly-girl with a crush

Well, as far as the twerps go, she's the first to have an official canon crush on Ash.
That's something.
I still think it's too soon to be ranking her against the previous girls.
