Serena (Pokémon)
Although Serena shares a similar background with other female characters in the Pokémon video game series, she received a positive reception for her appearance in the anime. she was well-received for her appearance in the anime. She gained fame for showing romantic feelings towards Ash Ketchum during the Pokémon XY anime series, which was evident through her blushing and getting flustered whenever she saw, talked to, or was close to Ash.

The scene where Serena kisses Ash in the final episode of Pokémon XYZ became one of the favorite kissing scenes among anime fans in Japan.
