Shipping Allegiance: Pearlshipping
Badass Punchline: Whether it be battles or debates, there is no need for a second or third strike. One decisive blow will end your opponent quickly and efficiently.

Well, my question still stands. If Pokeshipping is "the one", where is it now in the series? Question: How would you answer your question if was Pearlshipping instead? If Pearlshipping is "the one", where is it now in the series? That actually raises a good point Nova. But in any case, it's really up to the writers and directors on whether or not they decide to bring back the characters. Of course, if popularity for Dawn remains high even in the future, there are chances of her return, but there is no guarantee. All we have in XY is just Ash shown to still remember Dawn and her Piplup through the Piplups. We'll see how XY goes. If it goes downhill, they might bring back Dawn, but chances of their reasons for doing so reflecting on pearlshipper's wants is not likely. Just promotional reasons. But should they bring back old characters? I don't see why not. If they were important, they shouldn't just cast them aside. But then again... with Misty absent for nearly a decade, yeah.... If we want Dawn back for the right reasons, it'll honestly take a miracle. But who knows? Dawn was treated fairly nicely by the writers, directors, etc. compared to Misty, May, and Iris. Too early to judge Serena for now. |

I would say Ash remembering Piplup can answer that question well, Reis. If Ash doesn't think about Dawn in XY, then there's nothing stopping Amourshipping from becoming canon. The Piplup shows Ash hasn't forgot, and that shows exactly where Pearlshipping is in the series as the 'one'. Pokeshipping has the BW flashbacks and the lure. But Misty hasn't got anything for XY yet. |

It's been a while since I last did one of these. This is when Ash and Misty dance in one of the Original Series episodes.  Dubbed version (first few seconds of vid)In the original Japanese, Misty says "What are you doing?". In the dub, she says "Come on Ash, let's dance!" |

The Piplup shows Ash hasn't forgot, and that shows exactly where Pearlshipping is in the series as the 'one'. Just because Ash mentioned dawn's piplup pearl(Friendship)shipping? became 'the one'? Haha, what a joke. I'm pretty sure Ash will mention May sometime in the future(ORAS promotion). Then You might have to consider advanceshipping as be 'the one'. Pokeshipping has the BW flashbacks and the lure. But Misty hasn't got anything for XY yet. Ash only mentioned his Charmender/Charmeleon/Charizard. There was not a single mention of Misty in that episode so pokeshipping got nothing in BW. |

Well I guess there was also the part where Ash thought about and looked at everyone in the sky while lying on the ground in Pallet Town (end of BW). But since that was everyone in general, that really can't be considered to be Pokeshipping either. |

I guess they're simply grasping at straws on even the tiniest scene they see.
