Does Nymphia need to Stay?

I've noticed that out of Serena's Pokèmon, Nymphia seems to be the least important and doesn't really have much of a reason to stay. Let's take it into account that it hasn't appeared in over 10 episodes, yet Tairenar and Yancham still appear regularly because Tairenar is in a starter line, and Yancham is a comic relief. I don't feel like it's going to appear that much unless there are Serena or picnic related episodes. What do you guys think?
 
I don't understand this. We could have said the same thing about many previous Pokémon owned by May and Dawn. The likes of May's Eevee and Dawn's Togekiss didn't really need to stay after the Kanto and Sinnoh Grand Festivals, yet they did. Sylveon's not going anywhere just because Serena's arc is over.
 
Sylveon is a relatively new addition to Serena's party. If Serena were to stay a long term companion of Ash's, I could see her party getting more development. The fact is, once this series ends and Ash goes Alola, both Serena and Sylveon are going to be bye felicia and out of sight and out of mind. Which kind of stinks, Serena despite her annoying moments with the crush stuff, is probably one of my favorites in terms of Ash's traveling companions.
 
Just because a Pokemon hasn't been featured lately isn't really a good reason for it to be released or sent somewhere else. It is relatively new compared to Serena's other Pokemon and Sylveon doesn't have a role like Braxien and Pancham do. Braxien is a starter Pokemon, so of course it would get screentime. Pamcham is comedy relief, so that helps to make it stand out more. Sylveon is marketable too as an Eeveelution, but I don't know if it really needs to be in the background with Serena and her other Pokemon either. It will get more attention most likely down the road and they did make a new promise to become Kalos Queen with Sylveon during the Master Class, so it isn't going to go anywhere.

I'm not sure what Sylveon being released would accomplish anyway. Serena has a low amount of Pokemon on her team as it is. She doesn't need to go back to having just two Pokemon.
 
Well, objectively, it would be a waste if Serena were to release it. She's spent a good deal of time and effort preparing it for Showcases along with her other Pokemon. Additionally, she's spent a lot of time helping it overcome its timidness while boosting its self-confidence. Furthermore it was an integral part to Serena winning her third Showcase while also being the reason she was able to advance to the final stage with Aria (for clarification, her preventing her trainer from falling during the double Free Performance).

Just because she hasn't appeared recently or doesn't have a niche like starter Pokemon and "comic-relief" Pokemon usually do, doesn't mean her importance or relevance is any less valid. And yes, as others have said, with that logic then many of the cast's Pokemon should be released.

I'm sure we will see it again before the series ends, especially in Pancham's upcoming focus episode and or if Serena ends up battling alongside Ash & Co against Team Flare.
 
This doesn't make any since. Why would Sylveon leave? Serena only has two other pokemon. There is no reason for her to lose Sylveon from her team.
 
Since we're near the end of the series and Serena has already finished her Showcase quest, I don't see the point of her catching another Pokemon. Maybe for a special or her Braxien could evolve to show her being ready to train for the next round of Showcases in the last couple of episodes, but there's really no time for them to do more than that in my opinion with her team.

I just wish they'd at least learn new moves

I'm honestly surprised that didn't happen. Her performances would have benefited a lot from her Pokemon learning more moves. That could have been more interesting training than just seeing them dance around and using the same combinations all the time. Serena's performances suffered from a serious lack of variety, so some new moves would have helped that at least a bit and it would have made up for Serena not catching more Pokemon too.

Yeah I agree, at least Dawn and May had variety in their combinations.

Which moves do you think they should've learned?

I'm not sure about Pancham, but Braixen really should have learned some Psychic type moves to do something other than Flamethrower/Fire Blast. Sylveon learning Moon Blast could have been good too.

I think Pancham should've learned some more Fighting moves or maybe one of the "punching" moves. I agree about Braixen learning a Psychic move and replacing Scratch. I like Moonblast for Sylveon or maybe Shadow Ball
