If they carry on with any ship they'll lose fans. I guess they want popular vote to win over documented evidnece

I think they're most likely tweeting shipping stuff because they've realized that most people who watch XY still are Amourshippers. It seems the anime has given up on Pokémon and battling itself and left that to the games- XY is basically just Amourshipping.

Right now it seems that they tweet shippy stuff to get more viewers. But if they make a ship cannon they lose all the non-shippers/anyone who didn't support that ship/ 3 quarters of viewers. More viewers = more money Less viewers = less money
I feel like they just want money at this point and don't really care if the anime sucks or not. It's like how you said it seems like they given up on Pokémon and battling itself. Honestly, the previews seem more interesting than the episode. (Slightly off topic here)I was interested in mega evolution but it seems they kicked that idea off to the side and focused on amourshipping
Oh I'm rambling again. I'll get to the point. . . . . . . Black and white was better than the X and Y series so far. If you compare the first few episodes of Black and White to X and Y, Black and white was more appealing. It was more about the battles and Pokémon than the ships.
If you think about it why do people watch X and Y? Most people watch it because of Amourshipping and there is a few people out there who watches it for the Pokémon battles. That's why the anime is popular right now, It's because of Amourshipping.
*this may not make sense and I'm too lazy to look it over XD*

are you trying to tell me that non-shippers don't like love and thus stop watching the show because of a cannon ship?

shpee You're right that non-shippers wouldn't quit the show just because of a pairing. And it's not the romance that drives Pokémon. Shipping isn't what Pokémon is all about. Pokémon would be in the romance genre if it were so, which it is not. Rather, shipping is just a side feature that makes up a small part of the show as a whole. The staff recognized that the "small part" gets positive response from certain viewers, especially with a female such as Serena. Shoko and even Masuda himself has recognized SatoSere. Because of their recognition, the writers push and emphasize the shipping (a.k.a Serena's crush) to hype up the show for people. And it worked. But just because shipping is emphasized doesn't mean that's what Pokémon is all about; it's just one part. (But of course we shippers make it a big deal lol) icypiplup I think money is not the major reason for emphasis on Serena's crush; they just want people to like the show. And we all know that people would definitely fall for that. IceArceus I think they're far from giving up on the show, but it seems like they are using Amour more and more to move XY forward. From the recent episode, now they know that they can hype (manipulate) the viewers through SatoSere. And now we know know that they can hype us (the Amourshippers, not us) through SatoSere.

That was my point, NovaStorm. They're using shipping as the main drive as opposed to Pokémon itself, which I find quite wrong and slightly disturbing.

you do know that the anime IS taking place inside the Pokémon universe so anything that happens in the anime IS Pokémon. but this gif does not.

LOL look at the eyes in that gif.
I probably should have thought it through before posting. Curse my lazyness. Lol,Is that even a word? Maybe I spelled it wrong. Hello Autocorrect are you there? Your suppose to correct my spelling mistakes! Oh so you correct me when I spell the word right yet when it isn't spelled right you don't? Curse you autocorrect!
But doesn't anyone else agree that they are kinda focusing more on the ships then the Pokémon? Well it happens in some episodes.
Even if amour becomes cannon, at least we have team rocket. This plan is perfect! I bet no one can notice that Pikachu can fly! *sarcasm* For a second I thought that was actually Serena.

I dislike the fact that the writers are pushing Amourshipping not just because of Pearl, but it's just not what Pokémon is about. Pokémon is about adventure and friendship not about how Ash and Serena are going to end up together. Even if the writer's are trying to develop Serena into a more useful character, she's still being used as shipping fodder. I honestly believe that Serena would be a much better character if she didn't have a crush on Ash. Don't get me wrong, I would still believe that even if I wasn't a Pearlshipper.

That's how I felt and I was trying to put it in words.. Let's just say I failed at writing in school.
I've been trying to say Pokémon is a kids show about friendship and Pokémon and trying to force love between that is just sad.
