Hi, everyone. I am new here. Please don't bash me, but DO be honest...
I came on this site because I am a Pearlshipper, like everyone else.
I am ALSO an Amourshipper. While Pearlshipping is definitely better and has great development (so far), I am slowly falling in love with Amour and I love Serena's character.
I just have to ask, does anyone else here actually LIKE Amour and/or Serena? Because I haven't seen one good thing about either on here, and it's quite upsetting.
YES I KNOW THIS IS A PEARLSHIPPING SITE! But, it would be nice if everyone was accepting of other ships, too because so far, I haven't seen that.
I am NOT criticizing anyone or hating anyone. I just want to know if people can be civilised on this site.
Thank you xx

curemewpeach Hi. Let me answer your question from my perspective Firstly, your last statement asking "if people can be civilised on this site" kind of irks me, because it implies that we HAVE to accept all other ships, and by extension all opinions to be civilised. I don't think disliking a ship makes anyone uncivilised, rather, the pressure these days for everyone to accept everything is kind of wrong. For example, a politician might not accept another politician's policy. It doesn't make either of them uncivilised. There are always going to be people who don't like the same things you like. However, we never just dislike Serena because we do. We give reasons for it. I mean, I accept that Amourshipping is a ship, but I'm not going to ever say anything that implies I like it or am neutral because I'm not. I dislike it. Just as there are people who give reasons for disliking Pearlshipping, fair do's. This place just happens to have a high proportion of people who dislike Serena. No one's posted anything pro Serena that much because no one has felt the need to or wanted to. There's no rule saying you can't post anything good about Serena and Amourshipping. I hope you get what I'm trying to say. If you don't, say which part you don't get and I'll try to clarify. Either way, I look forward to seeing you around.

And by my policy analogy I don't mean some stupid policy like "let's kill children" or something. I mean a moderate policy you might get in a regular parliamentary debate like reducing tuition fees.

I don't hate/bash people who like amour/serena? I myself just don't find both interesting that is all. I'm fine that people like her and amour, like I am fine with people disliking my favorite characters/shippings.
There is a (very slight) chance I could like serena/amourshipping, as I am a mutishipper afterall. I want to like serena, but atm serena and amourshipping not my cup of tea.

While I may have previously stated that I don't respect Serena, Overall, I am quite neutral when it comes with Serena and Amourshipping. If you want to talk about some good aspects about either, feel free. I would enjoy some perspective from the other corner as long as its formatted in a way that wont lead to conflict or negativity. Just like that time I watched a video of someone talking about her likes of Pokeshipping and now I don't hate them; just neutral.

I'd be lying if I said I liked Serena or amour. I don't hate it, but strongly dislike. And if you're part amourshipper, then so be it. But may I ask, why do you like amour? What do you find appealing about it? Honestly, a fair part of why I hate amour are the fans. They bring up invalid points that hve no back up to them and they are too stubborn and proud to admit they're wrong. Of course there are exceptions, but not as many as those kind of amourshippers. And overall, pearl can counter I think just about every amour hint out there.

Hey! Just wanna let you know that there are a couple of members here who are slight amourshippers or multishippers on this forum so dont worry, not everyone has the same opinions as everyone else  Its fine that your an Amourshipper and no one here is gonna judge you over that, it's just that some here will dislike amour and i don't think you can really stop them from making comments about the ship. Think of it has kinda like banter when two people argue over which football team is the best (Liverpool obviously!) Personally, i did try giving Serena ago but i just don't like how undeveloped she is. That's just my opinion and you probably have opinions about her and thats cool That's all i want to see, i just don't want you getting put off the website, thinking people would be aggressive if they hated something you liked. Anyway have fun! |

Thank you for your replies everyone!
I'm not going to start a fan war, don't worry about that. I'm too kind to do that XD
I completely respect the fact that some people don't like Serena and Amour, but I just don't like it when it's bashed. I'm not saying you all do, but i've seen people do it, and it's not nice.
As for why I like Serena and Amour?
Firstly, I totally understand that she's underdeveloped. It wasn't until her first Pokémon Performance when I started to really like her and I fell in love with her new design (I didn't like her first one). I like how she doesn't give up on her dream. It took a while for her to realise what that dream was, but now she knows that she can't give up again and she's a much more stronger person now. I can relate to her on so many levels because of that. She's also very sweet and caring and very protective, just like me. Although Dawn is my favourite Pokémon character ever, I relate more to Serena.
As for the shipping, I don't support it as much as Pearl, but it IS one of my favourite ships. A small part of why i support it, is just because of my love for Serena. It's strange because I would much rather see Dawn and Ash as a pairing in the end, but I know how Serena feels. She admires Ash very much and takes a lot of advice from him and she supports him a lot. While I totally feel that Amour is one-sided, like a lot of people do, I still support Serena to just go for it. At the end of the day, feelings are what matter the most.
If you have anymore questions, I'm happy to respond.
Pearshipping is still the best ship though :-p xx

curemewpeach Serena's protectiveness over Bonnie is one of her best qualities, I think. I really do like their interaction and to be honest your post made me realize I don't dislike Serena completely as a character. The parts I do dislike about her are the aspects of her concerning Ash, and because the producers make that a high proportion of her screentime I suppose that's why I would say I dislike her. But yeah, we tend to like characters based on how we see ourselves in them. For example, May is actually my favourite Pokegirl (Dawn is a very close second) because I relate to her ambitiousness (esp in her theme song) but my favourite thing about Serena is her interaction with Bonnie because I have a younger brother and I'm always striving to be a better sibling to him. Hmmm. Thanks for unintentionally clarifying my thoughts on Serena. I doubt I will ever support Amour, since I am most unsympathetic with Serena's crush on Ash, but she's intrinsically a nice person.

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