I noticed that the main pages for all of the Ash x Main Girl ships (except Poke and Amour) have been deleted(?) and now simply redirect to this page, where they only get a paragraph each. Even Contestshipping's has been deleted. The heck? |

I noticed this about a year back. There was a discussion on Bulbapedia (it was more one person saying they were gonna do it and nobody noticing  ) among Shipping project members about how to reduce the size of the project. I think it was because there were a lot of minor ships with their own low-quality pages.
They decided that only Poke, Amour, and Rocket shipping were important enough to be preserved. I wasn't able to find the source of this decision. The rest of the articles were deleted and redirected (yes, that includes Pearlshipping). At the time, I didn't bother, and at this point it's a fait accompli.
You can still access the old pages using the hardcoded version URL or the Wayback Machine. Here's the old Pearlshipping article, for example. |

coatatopotato Yeah I knew I smelled bs. Considering Pearlshipping surpassed Pokeshipping on a recent Serebii poll, they had no right to delete that page (or delete any pages for that matter - considering how subjective shipping is, especially in Pokémon).

JohtoFesta You could ask them to preserve a few more pages (maybe all main girl ships) if you have a Bulbapedia account with some street cred. My guess is they wouldn't be too opposed, especially for a ship as popular as Pearl.

need a break from that. I cannot express how much more I appreciate fan-translations of anything now
