Have You Ever Noticed?

For those of you who watch the new Anime, DP series, have you ever noticed that they are sadly paying more attention to Dawn and her contests more than Ash and his gym battles?

Don't get me wrong, contests are great to watch, but they seem to lack real battles, which I have always enjoyed since the beginning.

My brother watches it more than I do, and he has pointed it out to me. They could be doing that because in the last few seasons they focused on Ash collecting badges and frontier symbols more than May winning contests.

Or it could be a sign of PearShipping> Why, idk,but it might. Its probably to keep from making a sudden adjustment after Dawn gets Ash's Aipom, which they probably want to focus on as it WAS Ash's

Hmm, I never noticed this...can you point out a few examples?
To me, the writers are trying to put as much focus on contests as they are with gym battles.
I don't see how putting MORE focus in ONLY the Dawn's contests shows pearlshipping.

Lara, can you increase the size of your text?
It appears to be tiny compared to the other text other members are using. You don't have to if you don't want to. I just want to know why it is unusually small.

im gonna have to agree with Praetor on this one.

actuallty I noticed this. You see Diamond and Pearl is supposed to be more focused on Dawn. Ash is the main character hopwever they are using this to set the stage that will focus on her or another character getting a spin off where he is a supporting/recurring character as will be his fate in the spin offs they are planning which will focus on the guys from Gold/Silver and Ruby/Sapphire

That makes sense i guess
