advanceshipping. I almost reconverted to Advanceshipping, but watching some DP got me back on track.

I just liked Advanceshipping before I realized the term existed. It's my favorite May ship. As for Pokeshipping, guess I had some tendencies but Orangeshipping felt more natural. But I wasn't that strong of a shipper.

IceArceus Haha, no way. Me too! And I still really like Ikarishipping. But Pearl is my OTP for Ash and Dawn. I also used to hate Pearl, but not because I was an Ikarishipper. I hated it cuz I loved Ash and Dawn’s friendship as it was and I normally hate when people ship two really good friends together (ex: Nick and Judy from Zootopia. Still despise that ship.) I started shipping Pearl in protest against Poke and Amour (<—hate!), and now I’m kinda obsessed with it. I also love Contestshipping. More than Pearl, simply because it was basically canon. But I’ve always hated Pokeshipping with a burning passion. And I think Advance completely grasps at straws. It’s obvious May has a crush on Drew (and vice versa - it was clear the writer’s intent with these two), and Ash is clearly more interested in Dawn (even from a friendship point of view). Ash and May had a nice mentorship-friendship. But to me, Advanceshipping seemed…no sided, lol. Kudos to the people who ship it over Poke and Amour tho. I’d rather a ship that is based on a solid friendship (like Advance) become canon than Poke (toxic) or Amour (shallow).

For me, I shipped Amourshipping before Pearl. Although now days I would say if the writers would make a ship canon (and its not Pearl), Amour would be my 2nd choice.

JohtoFesta I think I disliked Pearl cause I felt like I saw Ash with Dawn all the time on TV and I wanted to be edgy and support the underdog Ikarishipping has nice aesthetics tbh, I was such a sucker for the bad boy/ good girl thing and I WAS young enough to have a bit of a fictional character crush on paul myself haha I like Contestshipping too! although, I have to say Advance got a REALLY good scene in that Pokémon ranger movie where Ash puts May in the pod thing while the temple gets flooded

felt lots of ouchies here
Before Pearlshipping and during Pearlshipping for me is Pokeshipping. I ship both equally to this day. I'm not sure how many episodes it took for me to like Pearlshipping (or Pokeshipping for that matter, it was so long ago), as I wasn't really looking out for "moments"; I was just watching normally as anything else. There was never a point where I felt I disliked either of them or shipped any of the three characters with anyone else though. ...Anyway, because of that, it got me to think about just combining those ships together. This is before I found out about the name Oystershipping (Misty/Dawn), a ship name created partly by one of my favorite Pearlshipping artists from back in the day, Endless-Summer(/Rainfall). (She also happened to draw like 20 pieces in celebration of creating the name at the time.) Mash those three ships together and that's my real main ship.
Might as well just lay everything on the table while I'm here. The other anime ships I'm fine with with are Rocketshipping and Handymanshipping (? Tracey/Daisy, Misty's sister). The latter seemed to be what the anime wanted to go for with what little time they had to work with it and I have no problem with that. Oh also Pikachu/Buneary, I'm never going to remember what that ship name is called. I haven't watched past the middle of Diamond and Pearl yet, so possibly more to come? Main ships will never budge or have anything else added onto them though.
As for the games/mangas, I can't say anything really jumped out at me. The main games don't have much of anything besides characters who are already together. I guess there was a push for something in ORAS, but I'm not feeling it. Actually, now that I think about it, SMProtag(non-Ultra)/Lillie and Skyla/Elesa, sure why not. It was funny, somehow I knew Elesa acted like a loon while alone with Skyla before I even watched the memory thing in BW2-- too much anime? I was laughing the whole time reading that, "YES I KNEW IT!" The only manga I've read is the Electric Tale of Pikachu, which I managed to keep myself away from all these years and finally read all the way through a few months ago while I was in the middle of Johto episodes. Pretty good Pokeshipping stuff in there, including fan drawings sent into the Viz version lol
the end

Yeah Pearl was my first. I never liked Misty and May only had eyes for Drew. I was sold on Dawn from the off because she asked to travel with Ash and didn't care about the whole bike thing. Side note, but I've always wondered why it's Pearlshipping and not Diamondshipping.
