Amazing testimony Mew, that was awesome! I'm surprised to know that you were a poke-shipper

I'm pretty sure some of us that began watching Pokémon since its initial release did like the Ash/Misty pair. I believe NovaStorm was one too, according to his own testimony, until Pearlshipping overwhelmed even the almighty NovaStorm he agreed that this was the one.
I was (and I guess still am) a Gymshipper (Brock/Misty) there too, so... *shrugs*

It wasn't until BW where my mind changed! Yes, mew151, you're right! During that few month period in 2012, Pearlshipping overwhelmed my entire life! (In an excited way.) 'Overwhelmed' is spot on, lol

Were you always a Pearlshipper?
No I was actually never involved in any Pokémon shipping. I grew up watching the Original Series, but never liked Misty a lot. After the Johto series ended, I stopped watching Pokémon for a few years. Finally, one day I saw my brother's friend watching the Advance series on my laptop. I guess you can kinda say that I took a liking to Advanceshipping and Ash and May's relationship.
I later discovered Pearlshipping when my brother's friend brought The Rise of Darkrai DVD to my house. I was instantly hooked on Dawn's character and the scenes that Ash and Dawn shared together. You might think that I became a Pearlshipper at that moment, right? I actually didn't, that is until I watched a couple of AMVs on YouTube and did a little more research that I became a Pearlshipper and I'm glad that I did.
If not what changed your mind?
After I watched the movie, I started watching more Diamond and Pearl episodes and became hooked on Dawn's character. What really changed my mind though was the first Pearlshipping AMV that I watched on YouTube by TheLolz202 and a fanfic by xStart.a.RIOTx that really changed my mind.
What were your first impressions on Pearlshipping?
As I mentioned, I first learned about Dawn during the Rise of Darkrai movie. I loved the way Ash and Dawn act towards each other and the way that Ash looks at Dawn during that scene when the flower petals were falling down on them really caught my attention.
Why are you a Pearlshipper?
Ash and Dawn are so much closer to each other than any other girl in Pokémon. They are comfortable enough to be themselves and joke around each other when all the other girls aren't. What really makes me proud to be a Pearlshipper is that Ash and Dawn will never forget each other. Ash remembers Misty by her lure and May by the halves of the contest ribbon that they share, but for Dawn, he specifically didn't really need anything to remind him of her.
How long have you been a Pearlshipper?
For about 2-3 years now and I'm proud.
What would you advise potential Pearlshippers?
Take your time and get to know about Pearlshipping more. Watch the AMVs, movies and episodes, read the fanfics, look up some fanart, etc. I promise you that whatever you find will show you that Pearlshipping is the ship to choose.

Excellent, ravencupid. If anyone else can make their testimonies, don't be shy. Then again, I did require more time before I can fully answer, so yeah.

The first time I started to consider Dawn and Ash a possible couple was when I saw the episode featuring their first high-five. I had a feeling that the relationship between Ash and Dawn could evolve into something unique. At that time, little did I know that pearlshipping would become a part of me for years to come. As I continued watching DP, I saw SatoHika growing stronger and a pearlshipper in me was growing stronger, too. But it wasn't until September 2009 that I read the translation of "High Touch!" lyrics, which decisively sold me on pearlshipping. Sice then, I'm an ardent SatoHika supporter.
Pearlshipping makes just too much sense to me. The pairing is characterized by absolute perfection. The sky is blue, water is wet, Hikari is the best match for Satoshi. Pearlshipping has everything falling into place.
If you think about becoming a pearlshipper, you probably can understand the essence of Satoshi and Hikari's friendship. Hence, my only advice for you is: Follow the truth.
