Frankly, I feel as if you're exaggerating a tad, but I agree with most of your points. Pokemon performances actually have a lot of skills required, as seen throughout the show, especially when it was PHYSICALLY TAXING on Serena...yet despite the amount of skills and standards set-yes, some can consider this to be sexist, making it an even MORE tough competition as well-it really just dubs down to preferences of the audience. I mean, it makes sense in hindsight, since the overarching theme was that performers are there to make people smile...but I feel like there were better ways to approach Serena's actual goal.im sure this isnt controversial but the fact that pokemon showcases are judged by the audience and not judges, thus making it a popularity contest, is one of the reasons why showcases fall really flat in comparison to contests. i also think contests are just more interesting with how theyre set up and incorporate battles, the point system allowing for some crazy twisted rules on the standard battle formula by encouraging off the walls combinations and strageties....... much more fun to watch in comparison to "la la la im dancing with my pokemon im so cute and sparkly"and dont get me started on how i feel the entire concept of pokemon showcases is extremely sexist...... making only girls play dress up and bake like typical housewives??? yuck
