Advance or pearl

As a multishipper, I like both! However, I prefer contestshipping & appealshipping, but out of advanceshipping & pearlshipping I prefer pearlshipping as ash and dawn had the better bond in my opinion as they shared strategies & ash went to all of dawns contest & they traded Pokémon & anything I can think of that ash did with May he did with dawn. I do like both girls a lot & there are good hints that both may have a crush on ash & think both would go nicely with ash, but to me ash & dawn have a better friendship & are a bit closer.
