In relation to another post, I think I'd like to give my basic thoughts on ships; Ash ships in particular to start with because that's easy.

Poké- Childhood mutual crushes. The sillies. AU Notes — Ash got burned by Misty leaving and ignored love for a while. Misty moved on. By the time the subject came up again, she gently rejected him. They tried dating as adults but it felt awkward and weird. They think the other is attractive but it just does not work. They'd rather give each other noogies and dead arms than date.

Advance - Not my favorite, but charming and cute. AU Notes — They're both committed to their primary partners, but they do casually date as adults. They grow up to have a lot in common and have nice chemistry. That said, you'd hardly notice that they're not just BFFs unless you see them kiss or something.

Pearl - OTP! They're so perfect. Made for each other. Endgame. AU Notes — Endgame. They're married. Ash and Dawn start dating a year after Diamond/Pearl and they support each other more and more; Dawn is the perfect emotional confidant for Ash and vice versa. Lacking a lot of his inhibitions for sharing his grief and worries, and not one to criticize him much, she's a great match for him. Likewise, Ash is a bit more emotionally in-tune and is good for her!

Negai - Conceptually great, but canon sours this one for me hard. The mean-spiritedness of BW makes me resent a lot of their interactions. But on paper, I think it's a great ship with some tweaks! AU Notes — Their friendship is a lot closer to my ideal, here. Fellow hard-headed trainers turned Champions. There's just a touch of chemistry here; they comfort each other and hug things out in private and share a lot with each other emotionally. But, as far as most of the world is concerned, they're just tight friends.

Amour - My second favorite ship for Ash in canon. I do wish it got more buddy-buddy moments in the vein of Pearl, but I really appreciate their story and influence on one another, it's very cute. AU Notes — Part of my OT3! Serena and Ash become quick emotional confidants in Kalos, with Ash in heavy denial about his budding feelings. Dawn's arrival throws them for a loop, and only wants what makes all three of them happiest, once she too falls for Serena. They all date, and later get married and have a family.

Auriela - Not a fan whatsoever. Feels very much like Ash is just there to coddle and rescue her. Does nothing for me at all. AU Notes — Even more of a no; Ash meets her as a young adult when she's 10 or 11; he's damn near a parental figure to her, while co-boarding at Kukui's lab after she runs away from home. During my later USUM arc, Ash is the experienced mentor to her and Selene.

Aloha - Who picked that name. Anyways. It's fine. Shrug emoji AU Notes — Not a thing in my canon, though Ash and Mallow are friends from when he took part in her trial.

Blueangel - It's the one S/M ship I liked. Super cute chemistry! AU Notes — It's canon to my AU. They hit it off during/after Ash participated in her trial. They have similar senses of humor, wanderlust, and strong personalities in general. Ash ultimately introduces her to Misty, who she ends up marrying. Misty likes to joke that he has visitation privileges in their prenuptuals.

Bloombolt - I've seen people make it work! That Ash isn't even really Ash to me anymore, so whatever. AU Notes — Absolutely not. Ash is Chloe's godfather in this canon. They mean a lot to me platonically. He was friends with Prof Cerise growing up, and ended up being asked for that blessing. He's a major source of encouragement and wisdom for Chloe, despite the window of estrangement they go through when she closes herself off.

Pallet - I can definitely see why people ship this, it's good. AU Notes — While there's nothing that really makes this impossible, I don't see it in my canon. They're BFFs, it's not like that.

Coma - I like it. They're just kind of funny together. Disaster gays. AU Notes — I definitely could picture Ash having some feelings for him that he didn't realize or vice versa, but it doesn't end up happening. That window of time that'd set it off never happens. Paul would never care to entertain all the noise and relationships in Ash's life, and they work just fine as friends, anyway.

Z-Ring - I can see why people ship this in canon, it's cute. AU Notes — Nah. They're friendly rivals. Kiawe strikes me as very stern and do-it-by-the-books. He's monogamous with Mallow.

Journeys - Again; that Ash isn't the Ash I know. In isolation, it works. AU Notes — Very similar big no to Chloe; Ash is a mentor to Goh and actually encourages he and Chloe to pursue each other when they both confide in him separately. They're close, platonically.

Alto - Heroes made me a big fan they are so CUTE. AU Notes — They're together. They reunite some years after Johto, during a time where Ash is pretty down on his luck and could use the company + support. He reciprocates Latias's feelings after spending their short journey together and she joins him for good. She continues to use her human form to blend in alongside him.

Poffle - I really just believe Miette was using Ash to get Serena's goat, but it's an amusing thought anyway. AU Notes — She's something of a package deal with Serena. I think they're funny as a throuple.

That's it, for now!

P J a shipper? SHIP-A-THON ‘18

𝒫𝒶𝓇𝓉 𝒱𝐼𝐼

My case with the others:

Now the ships I like listed here are uncategorized by any series of the main-core anime series, such as QuestShipping. This pairing between Jimmy/Kenta (Trainer Gold’s anime counterpart) and Marina (Trainer Kris’s anime counterpart) can only be seen in the Legend of Thunder anime special. While their feelings for each other are flat out obvious, it’s nice to see a main protagonist that actually responds to a girl’s feelings for him *cough* *cough*

Other examples of unlisted pairings are Flint and Lola, Brock’s parents. They’re weird bunch if you’ve seen the anime specials they were in, but their love is definitely strong as a rock. Not even redesigning the Pewter gym to a water type gym with streamers around could break this marriage. And speaking about their son... 

The case with Brock/Takeshi: Now Brock deserves a special mention for this ship-a-thon post he is always finding for new love every day with every girl his age or older he meets. Unfortunately 95% of that he gets reject and gets his ear pulled, or poison jabbed. But there is that 5% of females that do like him (he didn’t really like the younger ones back though). And out of all that liked him back, Pike Queen Lucy from Battle Frontier was my favorite one (LuckShipping). I really got mad at Max for dragging him out in the end of that episode, where we clearly see Lucy blush. What’s funny about all of this is that she probably only liked Brock because most of the Pokémon she had at home had the same eyes (e.g. Skitty, Swinub, Snorlax) as he did xD I bursted out laughing because of that scene. On the friends side of things, he was Ash’s first big bro and chef. It’s amazing to see how close they were traveling for 3 series straight (the only companion to do so). GymShipping (Brock and Misty) had some cute moments too, but mostly goofy ones (like with Max’s ear-pulling lol). Big bro Brock also applies with May when she helps him buy for traveling supplies in Hoenn, or with Dawn giving her advice to lighten up during her times of depression. WE <3 YOU BROCK, screw all the girls that rejected you!

RocketShipping / KojiMusa (Jessie/Musashi & James/Kojirō): The favorite villain ship of the series definitely has a special place here in the others section since they were basically in every series! Take that Butch & Cassidy (I kinda ship them too) with your unoriginal motto! Along with PokéShipping, this is one of the most respected older ships in the community (as it SHOULD BE for being the longest running one TO THIS DAY). I feel like they’re already a married couple discussing plans every night before going to bed on how to catch Pikachu. This also the first adult pairing I grew up loving whether they eat, argue, cheer (in Jessie’s contests and performances), or blast off together, it’s really nice to see a mature (not really if you think about it lol) pairing over the course of 20 years in this show. Favorite moment - All the episodes with Jessebelle/Rumika (James’s childhood “friend”) in it. I remember watching the first one where they introduced James parents, and actually seeing a good side of James for the very first time outside of Team Rocket. At the end of that episode is really when the ship was sold to me. James pulls Jessie aboard the Meowth balloon, and they look into each other's eyes promising to continue to live without anymore personal commitments and resume Team Rocket operations. I’m sure hardcore RocketShippers loved that scene as much as I did. Unfortunately because of that sweet moment, they forgot about Meowth who was still in the ground running to the balloon as the episode ended xD

Meowth’s/Nyarth’s loves: Meowth has had its fair share of romances too that deserves a bit of mentioning. Meowzie was the first one he fell for, and in fact was the reason why he can talk and walk like a human! Too bad she had preferred to be with the Persian :( That episode broke my heart too because I was rooting for Meowth to succeed. After that we saw multiple occasion where he was infatuated with other Pokémon, such as Skitty, Glameow, Purrloin, and others I might be forgetting. KrazyShipping is the cat and mouse relationship he has with Ash’s Pikachu, although I really wouldn’t say there’s that much love in this relationship (gets shocked like every time they meet lol). In the end, his one true love is helping and aiding Team Rocket with Jessie and James (he loves them each of them you know it)...or fetishes with Giovanni fantasies. 

Inter-region interactions: There are some fantasy shippings people would like to see happen because of region barriers (I NEED MAX AND BONNIE TO MEET), however some came true in the form of cameos like Misty and May, May and Dawn, Brock and Cilan (FAV!! Gotta love the experienced chefs), Brock and Kiawe, or even Piplup and Oshawott (best Pokémon meeting/rivaly ever). But I would have to say that Misty and Lana’s recent interaction is worthy of praise. The two trainer specialists showcased their love and passion for water type Pokémon when they swam together finding the Gyarados that startled their group. There’s a bit of a watery rivalry in this cool and clean wet relationship (okay I’ll stop the water puns). I would definitely pay to watch a spin-off just between these two sailing the oceans of the Pokémon world together, and diving into the deepest part of the sea just to see more Pokémon. 

Movie shippings: There are a couple of movie shippings to take into account over the past 20 years, especially with the movie exclusive characters. I would have to say one of my favorite ones (besides AccordShipping that I explained in a prior post) is in Pokémon Heroes with Ash and Latias (AltoShipping...though MareShipping is the Bianca alternative term of the ship). This human Pokémon relationship is just so unique since Latias could transform to the human form of the movie’s Bianca (kind of creepy if you take advantage of that). Another one worth mentioning is CarnivalShipping in the Jirachi movie. I don’t remember much, but I know that Butler and Diane were an awesome magician & assistant dynamic...too bad Butler had evil intensions with Jirachi that made me (and Diane) lose respect for him a bit (he later redeemed himself but cmon man).

Game ships: Like with the movies there’s a lot of game shippings to take into account, but my favorites would have to be from Gen. V! I do like the pairing of Dawn and Lucas from Gen. IV and the player with Lille/Hau OR Lillie and Hau themselves from Gen. VII. A lot of obvious hints too! But the Gen. V games had AgencyShipping, FerrisWheelShipping, SequelShipping (FAV!!!) and VisorShipping. I don’t know why but the character designs stuck out to me and really enjoyed its characters emotionally. But I would definitely have to say TransceiverShipping is my favorite game ship simply because it is the first time where you can actually have a DATE OPTION IN A POKÉMON GAME. Whether if it was the male player and Yancy, or the female player and Curtis, the mysterious conversations you have with the Xtransceiver build up to the eventual date you’ll have with them. Some very, very cute stuff if you haven’t experienced it yourself. Go play Pokémon Black or White Version 2 NOW!!!

Shippings from Pokémon Adventures manga/PokéSpe: We gotta show some love to the manga side of things too! One of my favorite PokéSpe shipping include LuckyShipping (the flirting in here IS REAL), FranticShipping, ChessShipping (manga counterpart of AgencyShipping), and the pairing of X and Y (don’t know the name for that one). But SpecialShipping to me takes the cake on my favorite manga ship simply because of Yellow’s shy feelings for Red. It’s kind of like AmourShipping in a way, since Red is a bit dense in his own right to notice Yellow’s feelings AND Red and Yellow had their own childhood history before the Adventures storyline. It’s just very very adorable, and full of blushes! If you aren’t into PokéSpe, but love shipping cute characters together, you should definitely give it a read! 

KetchupShipping (Pikachu & Ketchup/Kechappu): BEST. SHIP. EVER. Favorite moment - The moment where Pikachu first laid eyes on that delicious bottle of ketchup at the Dark City episode, and licked it with cute pleasure :p

.....okay in seriousness what I really want to be talking about is PikaShipping

Of course the final Pokémon shipping I have to showcase here is between Ash/Satoshi and Pikachu of all people and Pokémon! I can’t really say favorite moment because almost every time these two interact, it is always a great moment in my book! RocketShipping maybe the longest, but this beats it by an inch because there isn’t a single episode where we don’t see Ash with Pikachu by his side. They made this show work ever since it started, and everyone around the world knows this dynamic duo since 1997! Ash leaves every Pokémon behind after Johto, BUT NEVER HIM. Everyone in the anime has had their one special Pokémon partner (Dawn and Piplup, Iris and Axew, Bonnie and Dedenne, Sophocles and Togedemaru, etc...), but it is not quite like the courageous and close bond that Ash and Pikachu share. Nothing will ever beat their Pokémon partnership...NOTHING!!!

Speaking of pokemon’s friend shapes, it’s pretty funny how the anime has Pokémon crush on humans, with the games implying humans and Pokémon romantically loved each other like in PLA. I’m getting altoship vibes thinking about it.

what version of PLA are you playing exactly

[dzamie]

Pokemon goes back and forth on ship name conventions. My favorite ships are Altoshipping (Ash/Latias) and MiroJaro (Milotic/Serperior - Mirokarosu/Jaroda in Japanese).

pokemon fandom did ship names better. no portmanteaus, just stuff like AmourShipping (Ash/Serena), FerrisWheelShipping (F!Gen5Protag/N, yeah his name is N), PalletShipping (Ash/Gary), even the almighty EternalHoneymoonShipping (Kukui/Burnet). I have no idea where it started, and the sheer number of ships can make some of these difficult to decipher, but they're all pretty cute in their own ways and give a bit of flair to a ship, instead of something drab like Drarry or whatever.

--

Harry Potter fandom had plenty of stupid-ass in-joke ship names, often stemming from thread names on FictionalleyPark. Guns and Handcuffs, Pumpkin Pie and so on. Though, yes, we mostly used H/D, H/Hr, etc. back in the day.

Some ships:- AltoShipping, Pearl x Greg, Subaru x Ram, Blackarachnia x Silverbolt, Centorea x Reader, Sheryl Nome x Alto (Macross). Bonus: remember Pineshipping?

altoshipping -N/A: I don’t know the ship well enough (i don’t even know what that is)

pear x greg - I don’t really like it. i still think there’s just a little too much resentment there. also pearl is probably a lesbian so

subaru x ram: I’m neutral on it. i don’t ship cars so i have no opinion really

i have no idea what the other stuff is except pineshipping which is NOTP

[team-dxybreak]

Confession from Mun:

I am Amourshipping trash. ))

I am really, really into this ship. It’s pretty much the main reason I watched XY&Z (I accidentally skipped over all but a few episodes XY. Whoops. Though I still have around 7-8 episodes to watch). ))

I mean, it’s the most canon ship in modern day Pokémon yet and I was really hoping that it would actually become a thing, but The Pokémon Company decided to switch her out and have her go to Hoenn while Ash goes to Alola… ))

Well, I can dream, right? At least we’ll have all the amazing fanart… Sides, I ship many other anime ships as well, Altoshipping being the first. I just ship everything at this point because it’s all just SO DANG CUTE. But Amourshipping is my personal favorite. ))

This does not mean you have to agree with me of course, I mean, everyone is entitled to their own opinions after all. I’m just saying that Amourshipping is my favorite anime ship, and coming up behind that is Altoshipping and, [ since I’m not sure there’s a fanon name for this yet, Ash x Lillie. ))

If there’s a fanon name for the Ash x Lillie ship, don’t hesitate to tell me by the way so I can cut out the unnecessary space in the brackets. )) ]

After the events of the movie. It's just that latias tells her friends. Ash becomes a legend between them. Then suddenly one day a hundred latias appear outside his house

"hey we heard you're a good kisser"

"a- and that stuff about the pokemon leagues and saving people and all that"

"hey did your super strong pikachu really get his ass kicked by a newbie snivy"

"y'know we are telekinetic, we don't really need your permission to do things to y-"

"ignore her, she doesn't know what she's talking about. have you ever kissed two airplanes at once"

"more importantly would you like to"

Mobile: Rules

Please, for the love of the Galactic Novas, at least read the rules. You don’t need to send in passwords, just please read the rules. Thank you.

No god modding This one is very obvious, but no god modding. It kills the RP experience and will result in warnings. If you keep it up, you’ll be blocked. If you’re going to RP anyone, please RP your own muses and don’t control my muses actions.

No power play I really don’t want to have to point this out but please have your character be balanced. Star Dream may be a machine that has god like abilities but even it was absolutely destroyed by Kirby. Completely and utterly decimated.

I am always open to roleplaying! Having said that, please do not hesitate to message me if you want to plot or even just throw me a random starter if you want to! I don’t care, long as Star Dream gets to interact with you wonderful people. >^v^>

Please don’t pester me for replies. If I don’t reply immediately, I’m either busy, at school, out of the house, grounded, etc. But if I don’t reply to your message while replying to everyone else, your free to ask if I got the starter. I might not be feeling the muse for that RP anymore or I’m just simply not given enough to work with.

No killing the Star Dream At least not without asking me first, though I will allow you to torture the AI. It deserves it for absorbing Haltmann’s very soul. Though in this au, Star Dream takes the form of a human that hates humanity, though retains its powers.

Send me messages! If you need to get something off your chest, talk to a friend, or just want to say hi, my messages are always open and I will not judge you for wanting to message me because I am honestly very lonely 90% of the time.

Ship all the ships!! … Ahem. What I mean by that is that Star Dream is open for shipping if I feel it could work. Though this is coming from a guy that shipped Ash and Latias (Altoshipping), so I’m a pretty weird guy and ship just about anything that’s possible.

NSFW is tagged! So in other words, if you don’t want to see NSFW, then add “#nsfw” to your blacklist. Though it’s probably there anyway if you don’t want to see it. Though if you’re one of the people that doesn’t want to see suggestive content, then blacklist “#nsfwish”.

Reblog RPs only. I just feel really uncomfortable doing RPs ask by ask or through messages. Messages will be strictly for ooc speaking. No exceptions and please, don’t hound me about this on my other accounts. I’m just finding methods such as ask by ask and IM RP to be really uncomfortable.

I don’t follow reblog karma So if you see me reblog an ask meme, then you don’t have to send it in. Though I’d really like it if you did as 99.999% of the time when I reblog an ask meme, people reblog it without sending something in. I’d just really like to receive an ask meme when one is reblogged from me, though you don’t have to…

Please tell me if I mess up! I am only human and am prone to making all sorts of mistakes! I have to memorize 50 rules pages, so it’s only natural for me to mess up. Just please, if I do accidentally break your rules, tell me rather than leaving me in the dark about it and making me feel really depressed.

[realrandomsam]

I did not think I would be on the Ash/Latias bandwagon and yet here I am.
